Story
Buffalo was returned at no fault of his own and is searching for a loving home to live out his senior years. He is a cane corso and weighs 117 pounds. Fully housebroken with zero accidents in his foster home and does well in the crate but doesn’t need it. He is a gentle giant and can be timid at first but not aggressive at all, just shy. Once he warms up he is so loving and sweet! Good with all, dogs, cats, and kids. His only quirk so far in his foster home is being afraid of the hard floors so we’ve been using yoga mats, and he doesn’t like stairs. At his age and size his hips are likely a bit sore so a home with no/minimal steps is ideal. Pictures don’t do him justice he is such a big beautiful boy! September 22, 2026, 9:23 am

Story
🐾 Fester – Cane Corso • Special Adoption Requirements Status: In training Location: Cincinnati, Ohio Breed: Cane Corso mix Age: Adult Adoption Fee: Includes required pre-adoption training sessions ⸻ About Fester Fester came to Cleo’s Legacy from a severely overcrowded shelter after surviving an extremely traumatic situation — including being shot. Despite everything he has endured, he is showing us every day that he wants to trust again. Because of his past, Fester is understandably fearful of men. His response to this fear is typically barking or growling, which are defensive behaviors and not uncommon for guardian breeds who have experienced trauma. He is currently in the very early stages of decompression and professional training, and we are still learning more about his full personality. At this time, we do not know how he is with cats. ⸻ What Fester Needs in an Adopter Because of his background and breed traits, Fester requires an adopter who is: • Experienced with large guardian breeds (Cane Corso, Mastiff-type breeds, etc.) • Willing to work closely with our trainer prior to adoption • Committed to ongoing structure, routine, and positive-reinforcement training • Patient, emotionally steady, and ready to help him heal at his pace His training is currently located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in-person sessions with his trainer are required before adoption can be finalized. ⸻ About the Cane Corso Breed Cane Corsos are powerful, intelligent, and deeply sensitive guardian dogs. They thrive with adopters who understand: • Slow, thoughtful introductions and predictable structure • How to build trust with a fearful guardian breed • That their large, confident appearance often masks big emotions, especially after trauma • They bond intensely to their people and rely heavily on routine, consistency, and handler confidence • They require calm, balanced leadership — never force or intimidation • Early and continued training is essential for their long-term success When matched with the right person, Corsos can be unbelievably loyal, stable, loving, and devoted companions. ⸻ Why Fester Is Worth It Fester has survived more than any dog should, yet he is still trying. The right adopter will be someone who sees the dog behind the fear — a dog who wants stability, love, and guidance. If you’re someone who respects the breed, values training, and is ready to help a truly deserving dog heal, Fester could become one of the most meaningful companions you’ll ever have.

Story
Luna was born on July 19th, 2025. She is a very happy and excited dog. She is equally protective and loving. Luna is a guard breed. She is always extremely alert. She enjoys long walks outside and free time in her gated back yard. She loves to play tug of war. Luna came from a breeder in Cincinnati, OH. She has been trained by her current owner to follow the commands “sit and stay”, “come”, “stay and wait”, “leave it”, “drink water”, “eat”, “watch ‘em”, and “go potty”. Owner is looking to rehome Luna due to finances in the home caused by recent flooding events. While the owner can still afford to take care of Luna, it is becoming extremely costly to maintain both the home rehabilitations needed in the basement and backyard and Luna’s upkeep with fitting flees and not having a clean and safe environment to play. Luna is also extremely well when it comes to guarding her home but the owner has a small child and Luna can become a little excessive with jumping when excited.

Story
 Looking for a fun, quirky and goofy dog?  Want a tri-pod dog that thinks she’s a gazelle? Well….Kylie is the perfect fit! What a road of recovery this girl has had from a terrible abuse case.  Kylie came to us after having to have her right hind leg removed and need time to heal from that and some other fractures.  After many months of learning how to trust humans again, she slowly began to come out of her shell and learned to interact with humans and her doggie friends. She discovered that she likes to sleep on a soft doggie bed or lounge around on the couch, when she’s not wrestling around with her doggie friends.  She has no awareness that she’s a tri-pod and leaps and wrestles around. Kylie would do best in a home with other doggie friends and with patient humans who will give her the time and space to trust in them.  She tends to favor women over men but can be won over with yummy treats.  Rescue shows us the road to recovery may be long for some dogs, but one look into Kylie’s eyes and you can certainly see her compassion and ability to love again. 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.   March 7, 2026, 9:24 am

Story
Chocolate Fudge Brownie is hoping that the third time’s a charm. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This sweet guy has been returned 2 times in three weeks (no fault of his own) and really needs some stability.    He has lots of energy and LOVES to play with everyone (dogs, kids, adults - but has not been around cats). He enjoys spending time running around outside in circles , so a fenced yard would be ideal. He’s good in his crate, and is getting the hang of potty training.    He is also an expert cuddler during naps!   Chocolate Fudge Brownie is 4 months old, about 20 lbs, and looks like he’s going to be a big boy when he’s an adult.

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Shrek is a great name for me! I am kind of a sweet OGRE looking boy with a loving heart and kind of beat up body. It is HARD to live on the streets! I had an old injury so limping was my norm. It was discovered that my back leg had been broken and healed very wonky. Now my bad leg is gone and I am pain free! NOW, I am a healthy TRIPOD boy looking for just the right family...one who will care for me for all my days! I deserve it and you deserve this cute OGRE in your life too! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
