Story
Meet Winny, the new love of your life. She loves cuddles and being held. Kids and other dogs bring her much joy! Winny also LOVES walks and car rides, but will definitely lead the way if you let her, so she will need someone who can help show her what's acceptable and what's not. She loves company, so a dog friend would be very beneficial to her in her new home. When Winny is by herself, it takes her a few minutes to calm in her crate. It's not the crate she dislikes. It's not being where you are. This silly girl even sleeps in her crate with the command "nap", and will even let you get your beauty rest at night. Speaking of commands, this smart little girl knows "sit", "come", "leave it", and "place". She loves to play and squeaky toys are her favorite! Winny is potty trained like a big girl. However, open the door and she will run out quickly, so be sure you don't open just any door without caution, or Winny will show her way out! Winny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Included in Winnys adoption are 3 free training sessions via Dayton Dog Den to help transition her into her new home! She would also benefit from doggie daycare, so they have also graciously offered 3 days of that as well! If Winny seems like the right fit for you, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt to apply! Her adoption fee is regularly $285, but to celebrate our 14th anniversary, Winny's adoption fee is half off during the month of April. We believe she is a year and a half and a Boxer Whippet mix. She's around 35 pounds. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Barkley’s birthday is 5/20/21. He’s EXTREMELY loving & affectionate, but we’ve decided to rehome b/c of chronic health issues (in the humans). He’s not able to get the proper exercise & as much socializing has he needs to stay healthy. We would like him to go to a home where he can have 1 or more dog friends to live with, & where he can run around & play a lot. He’s been going to doggy daycare for over 2yrs, but now is only able to go 1x/week.We would like someone local & we would love to be able to visit him a couple times a year.His 1st home was abusive, hit him & caged him in a cage that was too small as he grew. B/c of this his spine is slightly curved, & he’s on Carprofen for pain in his back legs.He’s on gabapentin for an underlying neurological issue. It’s well controlled on the gaba.And he’s on a low-dose anti-anxiety med. He is anxious  of new places & people (prefers women over men). But he does well with a confident leader.Please feel free to message me with any questions

Story
Hi, my name is Murphey and I'm one of the Irish Crew. My sisters and brother were rescued and brought to MVPC last March. We definitely had the Luck of the Irish on our side. I'm young and full of life. People say I'm sweet and friendly, but I like to think I'm just being me. I'm curious about everything, which makes me a bit of a goofball sometimes. But hey, that's just part of my charm! I love to play, and I've got energy to spare. I'm also pretty independent, so I won't mind if you need some 'me' time. But don't let my independent streak fool you; I'm fiercely loyal and love nothing more than spending time with my favorite humans. My spirit is akin to Ed the hyena from the Lion King - full of mischief and fun. And, like an Irish mobster, I'm full of charm and charisma. Adopting me would mean endless laughter, love, and adventure. If you're looking for a dog with personality, I'm your girl. I promise to keep you entertained with my antics and to love you unconditionally. So, how about it? Will you be my forever home? ADOPTION FEE: $300 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience BIRTHDAY: 11/08/2023 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Yes, male only CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $300 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION OR ARE NOT YET READY TO PROCEED PLEASE APPLY WHEN YOU ARE.*** INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25. DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER INQUIRY/CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response. PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!

Story
Hello Everyone - my name is Ruby Riot, though I have no earthly idea where the latter part of the name came from, because I am a very sweet, very proper lady. Aside from being downright gorgeous, I am also a happy, well-behaved companion and world-class snuggler. I love to play with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and am always ready for an adventure. I do well in the car, and love to be out in public meeting people and getting all the pets. I have really good leash manners and am always up for a walk, though I sometimes get distracted by other dogs and the occasional squirrel or other furry little distraction. I’m crate trained and house-broken. Though between you and me, I prefer not to be in the crate, because you aren’t in there with me. You should get a bigger crate. I’m still working with my foster human on basic commands. I know “sit” and “shake,” though for the life of me, I don’t understand the point of “stay.” If I stay, then how can I be right beside you when you walk away? That just seems dumb, but you two-legged critters are funny that way. I have a lump on my chest but the vet checked me out and I've been cleared - it's just a cyst, so I'm on the hunt for my furever home! If you think I’d make a good addition to your family (hint…I would), then head over to www.miamivalleypitcrew.com and apply to adopt me! ADOPTION FEE: $350 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience BIRTHDAY: 06/06/2021 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Yes, a male dog in the home is required for socialization CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $350 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS.

Story
Hi there! I'm Aiyana! My foster folks say I'm a little princess, and I'm looking for my new castle complete with my royal family. I'm a tiny girl, but believe me, I'm twice the dog I was when I got to MVPC. Literally! I had been abandoned behind a vacant house, and I was severely underweight and missing a bunch of my hair. Even worse, I had a nasty injury to my rear foot and it was thought that I would need that leg amputated. My Vet said he thought I had got it caught in a trap. Luckily for me, my Vet and my foster mom worked really hard to heal my foot and get my leg back into shape. I'm using it more every day and zooming around just like my foster sibs. I have one more checkup to go, but they believe now that I can keep my leg. That's a relief! I'm a SUPER sweet girl who adores my humans. Snuggle times are the bestest, especially with a blanket in this nasty weather. I've been working hard to learn my basic commands and get this housebreaking thing down, and I'm making good progress. Those snackies I get for being a good girl sure help! 👅 I'm also learning to play with my foster sibs now that I'm healed up, and that's fun too. You know what's really amazing? These little humans called grandkids! I adore them. ❤️ If you're looking for a snuggly lover, and are willing to help me continue my studies, I would love to meet you. Just reach out to my friends here at MVPC and tell them Aiyana sent you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
