The News-Herald features animals from area shelters and rescue groups that are in need of homes. If today's animal looks familiar, it's because he's been looking for a home for a while.

This is Dawson, a young hound mix available for adoption at the Geauga County Dog Warden shelter. If Dawson could talk, he would ask why a fully trained, well-mannered dog like him is still looking for a home after all these months.

He is up-to-date on shots and he even gets along with other dogs and cats.

Stop by the shelter at 12513 Merritt Road in Claridon Township, just outside of Chardon, or call 440-286-8135.
