I do know how to sit and get a treat, but I also love squeaky toys like crazy. I will cry if you don't give me the toy. I should be fine around other dogs. I do need to see if I like cats or kids. I am sweet. Give me that chance to give you love.To adopt one of our animals, please visit our shelter, open Tuesday-Friday from Noon-5pm and Saturday from Noon-4pm.

Hi! My name is Banjo. I am a very sweet timid guy. I need the extra attention just to loosen up a little. I am timid when trying to get leashed, but I am not aggressive at all. I love treats an any food that comes at me. I do fine on leash and wouldn't mind going on a short walk nearby or let me roam in a play yard. I like attention and scratches on the head and back. I do fine with other dogs but a meet and greet is always a must. I should be fine around kids but prefer older children. I do need cat tested if you have cats in the home.To adopt one of our animals, please visit our shelter, open Tuesday-Friday from Noon-5pm and Saturday from Noon-4pm.

Loyal 6 yr old AussieCollie mixes. Ideal setting: country setting or large fenced yard to play in. Boys will need adopted together. They are best buds. They are nuetred and up to date on shots. They lived with 2 adults, 3 children, and a cat. Great with all of us. Loyal, Smart, and active! Love outdoors: water is their fav! They can sit and shake! Honest Reality is: Bite history due to territorial Triggers. Both boys have 1 documented bite. Both due to stranger on property. Call or email if you'd like more details on this. Experienced Handler preferred. Someone that understands the herding breed and their territorial behaviors. These are truly great dogs that just need more than we can offer. Finacial hardship changed our situation terribly and we just want them to have the life and love they deserve!!!

When she gets scared, she may shut down and need time and space to feel safe.Her previous owners surrendered her following an incident involving another, smaller dog. During a particularly stressful situation involving loud outdoor work and tree cutting, Trixie became overwhelmed and redirected her fear toward the other dog.Because of this history, **TRIXIE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A HOME WITH SMALL DOGS.** Her compatibility with other dogs has not been evaluated yet, but we will soon as we can.**WHAT SHOULD HER FUTURE FAMILY KNOW?**- She needs a calm, predictable environment.- She will need patience when adjusting to new experiences.- She is not leash trained and may freeze or refuse to walk when overwhelmed.- She would benefit from someone experienced with anxious dogs.- She needs a family willing to work with her confidence and help her feel secure.Trixie isn't necessarily the dog who will immediately run up to greet everyone or confidently explore every new place. She needs someone who understands that building trust takes time.We know Trixie has some challenges, but she deserves the opportunity to find a home that understands her needs and gives her a chance to succeed. ❤️🎉 **GOOD NEWS — TRIXIE CAN GO HOME TODAY!**Trixie is scheduled for her spay surgery on **November 30, 2026**.

Hi friends! My name is Bo Nix and I am ready to be your bestest friend! I am around 3 months old and still have my teeny tiny baby teeth. My dad is a full blooded Border Collie and my momma is part Husky and part Retriever. I have the dreamiest blue eyes accompanied by a very cool white cross on my chest. I spend most of my time playing with my K-9 brother and sister as well as the family cat. I adore them all. Speaking of things I love, I simply cannot get enough of the kids that live here. They are 4 and 9 years old and I get so excited every time I see them. My foster mom takes me to drop them off at school AND to pick them up; I feel like the luckiest puppy in the world. Did I mention that I ride in the car like an angel? At least that’s what my mom says. She found me at a coffee shop and brought me home on the best Sunday morning of my life. I say that because I wasn’t very well socialized before that and was scared of pretty much everything. I make so much progress daily and although I am still a little hesitant of new people, I warm up rather quickly when they give me space to come to them! Once I am comfortable, I give all the puppy kisses your heart could ever desire while I’m awake and I sleep soundly in my crate all night (8 PM to 7 AM) without needing to wake you up to go potty. Speaking of potty training – I haven’t had a single accident in the house since my arrival and I have already learned how to sit for a treat when I come inside. If you are looking for a happy, wiggly and sweet addition to your family, I might be your perfect fit! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   November 11, 2026, 12:06 am
