Story

Wrigley is 8 months old, and he is a very loving and outgoing boy. I am wanting him to go to a loving family who has the time for him! I am needing to rehome him due to the fact my father has passed away and that has consumed all of my time. He is great with other animals, and kids. He just needs someone who is able to spend more time with him than me.

Story

Meet Kira! 🤍🐾 This 6-month-old Siberian Husky/Labrador Retriever mix is as stunning as she is sweet. With her snowy white coat sprinkled in adorable spots and her breathtaking mismatched eyes—one blue, one hazel—Kira turns heads everywhere she goes. She does fantastic on a leash and is always ready to strut her stuff by your side like the little superstar she is! Kira is full of happy puppy energy and loves to play, romp, and soak up all the fun life has to offer. After she’s gotten her zoomies out, she’s more than ready to curl up next to you for some quality cuddle time. She may give a tiny growl when she’s trying to get you to play or asking for attention, but don’t be fooled—it’s all part of her silly, talkative personality and not mean-spirited at all. It’s just Kira’s way of saying, “Hey! Love me! Play with me!” 💕 If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, absolutely gorgeous pup who will keep you smiling and snuggled, Kira might just be your perfect match!

Atlas

Rottweiler/Doberman Pinscher

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos

Marysville, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Meet Atlas! This handsome Rottweiler/Doberman mix is a younger guy with energy to spare and a tail nub that never seems to stop wagging. When he first arrived at the shelter, he was quite nervous around new people, and he can still be quite shy when meeting someone new. Because of this we highly recommend slow introductions and recommend a home without small children. However, give him a bit of time along with patience and you'll discover a loyal companion that wants to do everything with his person. Once he's comfortable his playful side begins to shine. He loves to play in our play yard especially if there's a rope toy or long plush toy involved for a game of tug-of-war! He's also incredibly food motivated - cheese being the quickest way to his heart! He knows sit, though sitting still can be a challenge when his little nub is wagging a mile a minute. After playtime, he's all about the snuggles, which is when he finally settles down and shows his softer side. To add to it, he makes adorable facial expressions such as his frequent tongue bleps. This sweet boy is still working on his overall basic obedience and potty training, but with patience, treats and an experienced dog owner willing to go at his pace, he'll surely grow into a devoted best friend. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Atlas, please feel free to fill out an application!
