Story
Nora came to us from my son's friend's family who had rescued her from a swap meet. They already had three dogs and Nora, being a younger dog, was too much for them to handle. We took her in, got her up to date on shots, spayed and microchipped. She is great with our other dog, cat and children as young as 5. She's a quick learner and can walk on a leash well even though my guess is that she'd never been on one until we got her. The vet estimates she's about 2 years old. She's house-trained but can also be a submissive pee-er around new people. She's the sweetest girl but her presence was not welcomed by all human members of the family and she's causing strife. We need to find her a new home where she can be loved and spoiled like she deserves.

Story
Liberty BelleFemaleD.O.B. 5/1/2026Expected Full-Grown Weight: 65-75 lbsBreed: Boxer Mix Hi, I’m Liberty Belle, but my friends call me Belle! I’m an athletic, enthusiastic, and curious puppy who loves watching, learning, exploring, and being part of the action. I’m good with dogs, cats, and kids. I currently live with other dogs of different sizes and two cats, and I do well with everyone. Since I’m still young, I’m working on house training and leash walking, and I do need to be crated when left alone for short periods of time. I’m also learning that when the bells on the door ring, it’s time to go outside. I love toys — especially anything that squeaks! In the morning, I like to pull squeaky toys from the toy bin and carry them to my favorite spot on the couch. I also love playing in the kiddy pool, splashing my paws, fishing toys out of the water, and carrying them around the yard. When I get excited, I love to zoom around in big, fast circles. I’m a strong, muscular little girl with impressive jumping skills, and I’ve even tried to parkour my way through flower pots and across the garden. I’m playful and busy, so while I don’t mind being held or carried, I usually have places to go, toys to play with, and adventures to start. I’m affectionate too! I love couch cuddles and especially like to be the big spoon, nosing my way between my person and the back of the couch so I can snuggle in close. I’m also attentive and take cues from my people. If another dog barks at something outside, I look to my foster dad first to see how he reacts. I like to taste-test treats before fully committing, but cream cheese was a big hit when it came time to take my monthly flea, tick, and heartworm pill. If you’re looking for a fun, smart, active puppy who loves toys, cuddles, zoomies, and exploring the world, I might just be your Girl. If you are interested in meeting Belle apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $395. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2778277##

Story
🥰 This beautiful girl is Cocoa. Cocoa is 6 years old and has a pure velvet coat. She is very smart and PERFECTLY house trained. She has not had any accidents, has no desire to get on furniture, she is curious, but not at all destructive.  🧸 She is also a very gentle dog that loves her toys, but does not destroy them. She can “sit” and give you her paw like a champ. Cocoa would love an active family that would take her for car rides, hikes and runs. She is an athletic girl that excels at ZOOMIES and TWIRLS.  Cocoa needs some leash work and would need slow introductions to new dogs. 🙏Please consider fostering or fostering to adopt Cocoa so she can continue her great progress! Apply to meet Cocoa at ricopetrecovery.org

Story
🩷Meet Ophelia🩷Ophelia found herself in a county shelter that does not keep puppies for long. On top of that, Ophelia had a limp and was intermittently using one of her back legs. Once in our care, Ophelia’s limp was evaluated by our vet and in addition to be abandoned, she also had broken femur that healed before we were able to help. This special girl will always have a special little limp.  Ophelia is a world-class snuggler and would love a home with lots of empty laps, loving sibling dogs and soft cuddly blankets. She has experienced how living on cold cement floors behind bars feels and never wants to go back.  Ophelia is good with other dogs, kids and cats.Ophelia will most likely be on the smaller side.  Apply to meet her at ricopetrecovery.org.  Adoption fee is $350 and includes first 2 sets of vaccines, spay and microhip at our partner veterinarian when she is old enough to be spayed at our partner veterinarian. The adopter is responsible for the third and fourth boosters at their own veterinarian.

Story
Penny was found on the streets shortly after having a litter. She has been with us two years, and is a big people pleaser. She is on the smaill side - 40lbs. Her happy place is snuggling on the couch. We had her trained professionally for 6 months, but she is still a leash puller. We are looking for a single pet home for her, as she can be reactive with other dogs. She has an adoptive sister that she plays well with usually, but lately they have had increasing issues and fighting. She also has a playmate that she sees twice a week, that works out well, but she would really like to be a family's sole pet.

Story
Frankie came to us 2 years ago from a rescue. She is 3 years old, sweet and energetic. She likes to play with hose water, take a walk or snuggle on the couch. She has had 6 months of professional training. Lately she and her adoptive sister have been having issues and fighting, so we are looking to rehome Frankie to a single pet family. She does have a playmate that she ses twice a week with no issues, but she would be happiest as an only pet. She is a huge people pleaser, and loves everyone.
