Essex

My story

🕶️🐾 "The Long Paws Goodbye" — A Tail of Essex 🐾🕶️ April 1st. The rain was falling sideways. That’s the day Essex strolled into our lives—cool, quiet, and looking like he’d seen a few things. Name: Essex Age: Around 7 Breed: Classified. Let’s just say… not for amateurs. Last known whereabouts: Running wild with his accomplice, Espy. He’s got the kind of smile that could melt a dame’s heart and a gait that says, “You can’t catch me unless I want you to.” Sweet? Yes. Friendly? Absolutely. But don’t let that wagging tail fool you—this guy’s got a need for speed and a taste for freedom. He doesn’t ask for much. A warm bed. A good human. Maybe a tennis ball or two. But let’s be real—this breed has a past. They’re clever. They’re agile. And they’re not here for your average walk around the block. Do your homework before you try to keep up with this mystery mutt. But if you’re the right fit? If you can offer him loyalty, structure, and a spot in your life? Essex will return it tenfold—with love, zoomies, and a look that says, “You and me, kid. We’ve got this.” 📍 Currently holding court at the Richland County Dog Shelter, Mansfield, OH 📞 419-774-5892 📧 dogs@richlandcountyoh.gov – Request your application 🖤 Adopt Essex. Solve the mystery.
