Story
This is Rocky and we’ve had him just over a year. He’s a sweet guy but due to big lifestyle changes, new job schedules, and allergies we need to rehome him. HE IS GREAT WITH KIDS! we just can’t provide him with the proper training and consistency he needs to thrive with the lots of changes coming and changes already in place. He is potty trained, and is due for his vaccines. He’s protective and will let you know if something is going on. He loves to sleep, and hang out with his family. He does okay with other dogs as long as they’re not constantly in his face. He definitely needs crate training due to him getting into things he shouldn’t be and that can be a little dangerous. He’ll come with anything we have for him.

Story
We got kilo to be a support a dog for my grand daughter to help her thru a traumatic event but due to us losing our home when the landlord wouldn't renew the lease we can no longer keep him as a pet. He's very playful and friendly. He may need training on not jumping up on people but that's because he's always excited. Hold

Male, Puppy
Cleveland, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Myth is a loving happy and energetic 8month old puppy who loves to play with chew toys and run around. He is an Irish Wolfhound/ standard Poodle mix who is not aware of his own size even though he's quite large even as a puppy (~80lbs). He loves people and other dogs and enjoys cuddling when things are calm. Unfortunately our life and work changes have put us in the position to re-home Myth but he is truly an amazing pet and friend. Ideally looking for a loving family to re-home him with room for a dog his size. While we did not have another dog, i believe he would excel in a house with other pets.

Story
Meet Beauregard (aka Beau)! This not quite 7 year old, 70 pound, short legged guy loves to lounge on his comfy bed. When he’s not lounging, he may be running in the backyard or basking in a sunny spot. Beau is always up for a car ride, loves a good treat and will beg a bit for a taste of your dinner. He has a cherry eye on the left which he has gotten accustomed to. He is current on all vaccinations. He loves children, supervision is needed with younger who may get knocked down by his enthusiastic greetings. He is tolerant of cats, letting them sneak a morsel of food or rub their heads against him when he is relaxing. Beau has separation anxiety and barks when you leave, but quiets quickly. He is always happy to see you when you come home. He is rough on toys, we suggest the power chewer variety. Beau needs supervision when spending time with other dogs, he is friendly, but he is bit clumsy when trying to play with others.

Story
Penny is a 4 year old Great Pyrenees, German Shepard mix. She is a loving, sweet girl that enjoys cuddling, playing, going on walks and hikes and playing in the creek. She is very loyal and loves being around her family. She would do best in a home where she is the only pet and with older children/adults. She is on medication for anxiety. She becomes frightened with loud noises and does not like moving toys but is very intelligent and easily trained. Unfortunately, due to changing life circumstances we are unable to continue to provide Penny with the love, time and care she deserves. Adoption fee is negotiable. We will provide her medication, food and have toys, a crate, bed, harness, leash, and outside dog house to give for a reasonable price if interested.
