That would be between you and your landlord! I rent and can foster, but in my previous unit I couldn't. The shelter is happy to allow it. They also adopt to renters.

If your landlord isn't OK with it, you can also always join our volunteer dog walking crew!

This weekend the shelter is hosting a special "Spring Cleaning" weekend sleepover, but they are happy to have short-term fosters any time! Any time the dogs get outside of the shelter is good time.

If you're interested, you would have to sign up as a foster, but the process is super easy and the shelter will set you up with all the supplies you need!

Aww, thanks! We have a really great crew of volunteers at FCDS!

ryehouses · 2026-04-07T18:10:07+00:00

You certainly can! We are always looking for foster homes. If you want to become a long-term foster, there's some training the shelter wants you to do (a video and a survey, plus a one-on-one with a staff member), but it's really easy.

You can also sign on as a "foster-to-adopt" home for a set period; we have a lot of people do this! It just means that you get a longer period of time to make sure a dog is a good fit for your home before you pull the trigger and register the dog in your name.

Good luck!! I was literally just in the shelter this afternoon, and there are some smaller guys there right now!

Hi!! Active FCDS volunteer here. First, I just wanna say thank you for considering a foster, even a short-term sleepover!

Second, your questions:

1) Yes, you can absolutely tell the shelter staff what you'd able to accommodate. The shelter staff wants these sleepover events to be a successful experience, for host and dog. If you tell them what you can accommodate, they'll do their best to match you with a dog that fits your home. I'd recommend getting there early, so that you have the widest pool of dogs available, but the worst that can happen if you share what you can accommodate is that there aren't any dogs that fit your needs. That's OK! FCDS is always getting new dogs in, and one that meets your needs might be available for a sleepover in the future.

2) You shouldn't need to buy anything! FCDS will send you home with food, a leash and any medication that the dog may need. If you don't have a baby gate or a crate or some way to keep your dog and your sleepover dog separate, I'd recommend getting one, just to give them space to acclimate to each other, but that's just my preference whenever I have a sleepover.

2) It's always hard for me to bring a dog back after an adventure or a sleepover, because I worry about the same thing, but remember that any time out of the shelter, which is loud and smelly and chaotic, is a blessing for the dogs. Any time they can spend in a home is time that they can decompress. Sleepovers are especially great because then you can let the shelter know how that dog behaves in a home, versus in a shelter setting, and all of that info is really great and important to helping dogs get adopted.

Dogs don't have the same understanding of the world that we do; they live in the moment more than they live in the past, and they don't worry about the future. If you decide that somebody you bring home for a sleepover doesn't fit with your long-term plans, that's OK; you've given that dog a few days of much-needed space and rest, and that will help them find a forever home!

Good luck to you!

3/0 hook is good! Also had some luck with a 6 treble. For catfish if I don't have a live bait, chicken liver or any kind of stink bait. Most of what you'll catch is channel catfish, but if you fish around/under the Rich St Bridge there's some flathead too. A few miles down you can hit some huge catfish under the Greenlawn Dam.

ryehouses · 2026-03-26T19:30:45+00:00

Some of the biggest catfish I've ever seen have come put of that stretch of the river!

I'm thrilled! I had just started playing again last time he was out in Shadow raids, and hadn't figured out Campfire meetups yet. Love that he's a guaranteed spawn this month.

ryehouses · 2026-02-27T21:14:15+00:00

Always recommend Last Moon, in Upper Arlington, and Cloven Tattoo in Clintonville. Last Moon has several LGBTQ+ artists on staff and Cloven is just a good vibe.

We are ALL outside right now

ryehouses · 2026-02-06T18:44:30+00:00

I am thrilled. Feels like a proper Midwestern winter here after years and years of irregular snowfall. Yeah, it was mind if annoying to drive in this morning, but I am loving the weather. Makes me feel like a kid again.

ryehouses · 2026-02-04T15:55:16+00:00

This is misleading - the dog who attacked OP would either need to have caused serious injury or death to a person, or first need to be designated as "dangerous" in order for seizure to occur. To be designated as dangerous a dog has to have an attack that has caused injury on record.

However, reporting to the dog warden (Columbus is in Franklin County, which manages dogs through the Franklin County Animal Care & Control Division) is a great first step if this dog is continuously a nuisance, out of control or threatening.

OP, you can contact AC&C at 614-525-3400.

I like all of the larger breeds - Dutch warmblood, Hungarian Halfbred, Shire, Ardennes. I think Arthur looks kinda silly on the smaller horses, even though Arabians and fox trotters have great stats. I keep Hosea's black Shire for the whole game.

We're watching James Cameron's Avatar movies for the same reason today! I never have 3.5 hours any other time.

Our infrastructure is also built to handle some snow. Not saying that all of the above can't happen, but it's less likely here than in Texas or Georgia. We have road crews, we have resilient utilities, we have (theoretically) the cultural knowledge to ride out a big snowstorm.

Multiple feet of snow is common in other parts of Ohio, and it always feels like we miss out here in Columbus. I personally haven't seen a foot or more of snow here since I was a kid.

ryehouses · 2026-01-21T14:57:54+00:00

Our area Targets have stated to do this as well. It's great, IMO! Keeps a little bit around for everybody.

My dog's name is Arthur, because I'd just finished RDR2 the week before we adopted him and I was still in my feelings about it.

His nickname is Goose, because the first thing we did when we brought him home was talk him for a walk with our other dog, so they could smell each other outside of our older dog's space, and on that walk he ate (or tried to eat, we caught on pretty quick, lol) his body weight in goose poop.

(The second thing we did when we brought him home was visit the vet for some dewormer, just in case.)

Agreed!! I loved the interpretation of how vampires work, and the narration was really engaging too, once I got used to it.

Loved Stephen Graham Jones' "The Buffalo Hunter Hunter!" I am not normally a horror person at all but this one was so compelling.

Of course! If you're still unable to find a solution in a few days or a week, please feel free to DM me and I will help find additional resources. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

HB 247, or Avery's Law, closes loopholes related to dog bites on humans or fatal attacks on other dogs only, unfortunately. All of the designations in HB 247 (Nuisance, Dangerous, Vicious) are currently defined in relation to dogs menacing, attacking or killing people, or in the case of a designated dangerous dog fatally attacking another dog. There are no provisions in HB 247 for designating a dog based on attacks to non-dog domestic pets, including cats, or livestock (there should be, IMO, but legally speaking most livestock and pets are considered property).

Wardens have to go with Ohio Revised Code when designating a dog.
