NAME: Crayola BREED: Chihuahua/terrier mix SEX: male COLOR: cream AGE: 1 1/2 yrs as of Jan 2025 WEIGHT: 15 lbs FOSTERED BY: LOCATED IN: NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Hello there, I'm Crayola. Don't let my name fool you, I'm not just a dog, I'm a masterpiece. I'm brave, always ready to face any obstacle. I'm friendly too, eager to meet new people and experience new adventures. I would love to have a fenced yard with soft grass. I am not too sure about other dogs right now but I am working on it. I'm sweet, with a heart full of love to give. I may be 'specially-abled', but that doesn't slow me down one bit. I live each day with joy, embracing every moment with a wagging tail. I've learned to overcome challenges, proving that love and resilience can conquer all. Remember, broken crayons still color! Adopt me, and I promise to color your world with unconditional love and loyalty. Crayola is “specially-abled” due to a prior spinal injury that has left him with some issues with his back legs. He looks a little awkward but it doesn’t slow him down at all. Check out his video!

Bolt would love nothing more than to cuddle up next to you on the couch and split a scrambled egg and a piece of cheese with you after a long walk. Bolt is very smart, eager to learn and thrives on attention. Bolt can be shy and nervous with new situations at first but bonds quickly once trust has been established and then will be your forever shadow. Bolt may not be a good fit with young children. Bolt is house trained and crate trained. Bolt would do well with a fur-sibling his size or would be equally happy to be the only dog in the house. Bolt promises to bring fun and joy to your life!

NAME: Radcliffe BREED: Chihuahua mix SEX: male COLOR: brown/white AGE: 5 yrs as of Oct 2024 WEIGHT: 8 lbs FOSTERED BY: LOCATED IN: Arcadia NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Radcliffe is a sweet boy looking for his forever person/family. He is going to be a higher energy dog in general so will need some extra playtime/walks/yard to run in and did fine with our resident dog friendly cat. He plays nice with some dogs not with others so if you have another dog we would want to make sure they are a good fit. He would be fine as an only dog as well. Can be very sweet but does take time to get to know people and can be a bit apprehensive with men. .

Story

Filling out an application from our web site at www.caninecastaways.org is the first step in adopting a new furry family member.I HAVE A SPONSORED ADOPTION - $0 TO ADOPT ME! Dr. Dennis Boelter owned Akron (Ohio) Animal Clinic and Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital (Akron, Ohio) for 43 years. A tragic accident took Dr. Boelter’s life in December of 2017. As a tribute to Dr. Boelter, a very special Canine Castaways supporter will pay the adoption fee for this dog's adoption.. For more information on "Boelter's Bunch", please visit http://www.caninecastaways.org/special-adoption-programs Please consider opening your heart and home to a senior dog!

NAME: Ducky BREED: Havanese/Maltese mix SEX: male COLOR: white AGE: 12 yrs as of Feb 2026 WEIGHT: 15 lbs NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Ducky has been working so hard on healing, and we’re finally seeing some sunshine peek through the clouds. **His skin is improving. ** We’re spotting tiny little sprouts of fur starting to grow back. Yes… fuzz! ** His ears are looking so much better. ** He’s taking thyroid medication to help regulate his body and support healthy skin and coat growth. Healing like this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s slow, steady, and sometimes measured in millimeters of fluff. But every small change feels like striking gold. Right now, because his skin is still delicate, Ducky has to wear soft t-shirts to help protect him from scratching and irritation. We change them daily to keep everything clean and comfortable.
