This adoptable Ohio dog is a fanatic for toys

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Mugsy, a dog up for adoption at the Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center, is ready for a home that will let him bring his favorite toys with him.

The 7-year-old pit bull mix has been at the shelter since December, and had a particular affinity for one toy in particular during NBC4's visit. He even preferred it over getting treats from the shelter's staff.

"He loved this purple rabbit," said Hannah Henschen, animal care manager for the shelter. "He wanted to carry it around with him when he went on walks, he wanted to lay by it and hang out with it. If he walked away from it and you tried to take it from him, he'd go right back and say 'nope, that's mine today!'"

Mugsy is available for meet-and-greets at the Franklin County Dog Shelter, located at 4340 Tamarack Blvd. in Columbus, and costs just $18 to adopt. Below are some additional dogs up for adoption as well:
