Story
Lou is a very sweet, loving dog. He’s great with other animals and loves kids. He does need to be reminded to keep all four paws on the ground when he gets too excited though. Lou is incredibly energetic and playful, his recall is good, and he’s very loyal. Unfortunately with all of that energy can come some chewing habits if it is not properly managed, and with my current family life I am just not home enough to give him the attention and exercise he deserves and needs. I realize that while I love Lou, I am probably not the best home for him because of this.

Or, how about these Boxers in cities near Kettering, Ohio

These Boxers are available for adoption close to Kettering, Ohio.

Story
We have been fostering Hank on behalf of my sister-in-law for 2 years now. He bit the baby, which is why they no longer felt safe with him in the house; fortunately, the injury was minimal. He is territorially aggressive with our dogs and will get into fights or scuffles. We believe this is selective aggression rather than aggression towards all animals, but we cannot predict when he may decide another animal is no longer his friend. That said, he is a sweet boy 95% of the time. Hank would do best in a home with no other animals and only teens or adults. Because of his history, he will likely need an experienced owner who can help prevent future incidents and manage his environment safely. On the positive side, Hank is very playful, very snuggly, and always cold. We often put him in a sweater or let him sunbathe on the deck out back. He is a wonderful dog, but with my own dog taking ill, he can no longer stay in the home. We are trying to prevent euthanasia. PLEASE HELP!

Story
Meet Abu! 🐒 Abu is another one of the sweet pups who came to us as part of the group of 48 dogs rescued from one property. He's been making the most of his time in foster care, and we think it's safe to say he's really enjoying this whole home-life thing! Abu is doing amazing with his foster siblings and absolutely loves other dogs. Having furry friends around is right up his alley, and he'd be more than happy to have some canine companions in his forever home. But if there's one thing you need to know about Abu, it's that he is a BIG fan of squeaky toys. And we mean BIG fan. He comes running the second he hears a squeak! He even has his own little bedtime routine. Every night, he picks out a squeaky toy to take upstairs to bed with him, then brings it back downstairs in the morning. Apparently, toys need a good night's sleep, too! 😂 Abu has such a fun personality, and we're loving seeing him get to experience all the little joys of being a dog in a home. From playing with his dog friends to making sure his favorite squeaky toy is tucked in for the night, he's got life figured out. Now he just needs a forever family to share all those squeaky-toy adventures with! Could Abu be the missing piece to your family? Just be prepared to keep a good supply of squeaky toys on hand! 💙

Story
Meet Flounder, a sweet boy who is learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all! 💙 With patience, trust-building, and lots of practice, Flounder has been making wonderful progress with leash walking, meeting new pup friends, and building confidence. He may still be a little nervous when approached, but he’s learning how to let his personality shine! Sometimes getting down on his level helps him feel comfortable enough to creep over for attention, while other times he prefers a fun little game of chase. Run after Flounder, and he’ll happily run right back after you! Once Flounder feels comfortable, his cuddly side comes out, and he’s become quite the cuddle bug and kisser! He loves spending time with other dogs and showing off his adorable zoomies in the yard. His back legs sometimes have a hard time keeping up with the rest of him, making his happy little runs extra cute! 🐾 Flounder is looking for a patient, loving home that will continue helping him build confidence while celebrating all the little victories along the way. With a little understanding and a lot of love, this special boy has so much affection to give. Could Flounder be your new best friend? Schedule an appointment and see for yourself!

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. 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
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 get around just like any other dog! I can run and jump like a champ! I'm a SUPER sweet girl who adores my humans (kiddos too) and love other dogs. Snuggle times are the bestest. I've got my basic commands down and am working hard on my leash manners. Those snackies I get for being a good girl sure help! 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!

Story
Hi there! I'm Murphey, one of the lucky members of the Irish Crew. I was rescued and brought to MVPC, and now I'm patiently waiting for my forever family! I'm a young girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I'm sweet, friendly, and always ready to make new friends. I love exploring the world around me, and my curiosity sometimes gets me into silly situations—but that's all part of my charm! I can be a little cautious in new situations, so I appreciate having a little time to take everything in. Once I realize I'm safe, my playful, affectionate personality shines through, and I'm ready to be your loyal companion. Playtime is one of my favorite things, and I have plenty of energy for adventures, walks, and games. I also have an independent side, so I'm happy entertaining myself when needed. But when it's time to relax, I love being with my favorite people and will happily shower you with loyalty and affection. If you've ever met Ed the hyena from The Lion King, you'll understand my goofy, mischievous personality. I love making people laugh with my playful antics, and there's never a dull moment when I'm around. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling, join you on adventures, and love you with my whole heart, I am your perfect match. I can't wait to meet my forever family and start our next adventure together!
