COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There are special pets available at the Capital Area Humane Society that may require a little extra loving care.
Bruno, a 2-year-old shepherd-wolfhound mix, is physically healthy at 100 pounds and ready for adoption -- except for one thing. He has an issue with most medical treatments, NBC 4's Mike Jackson reported.
Bruno is one of 15 to 25 dogs who are considered special adoptable animals -- normal dogs with little behavior quirks that most owners can deal with.
"It allows us to save lives that maybe in the past, the humane society has not been able to save because we house them, care for them and make that special match," said Jodi Buckman, of CAHS.
Lisa Duckworth can point to numerous adoption success stories, like CoCo. The energetic dog has a food aggression and would freeze if his food was touched.
"We wanted to be sure he went to a home with a family who would understand how to work with him and would be willing to be able to do that," Duckworth said.
It's been a year-long love affair for CoCo and her new family.
"He and I have bonded so close. He's just an awesome dog. I can't say enough about him. I can't say enough about the society's program for special adoptables," said Peggy Kinney, CoCo's owner.
The special adoptable pets can only be found on the humane society's Web site here and then, appointments are made.
