Story
Meet Leo!! Leo is a 1 yr old Lab mix weighing 51 lbs. He is crate trained and has learned "sit" and "stay". He is very smart. Leo was originally found in a rural area by the side of the road and then found himself in a shelter that did not have the resources to work with him, so Love-A-Stray took him in. Leo is a very laid-back, shy guy. He really enjoys the company of other dogs. Dogs help him with his confidence but our friends at MBR have been able to get Leo to be a little more independent. He will go for walks without another dog and hang out without another dog. His best scenario is a confident dog friend. Leo loves to PLAY! Leo is very sensitive, and doesn't like raised voices, so a home that is low-key and not loud would be best for him. He is not a full fan of the car just yet, but he is making progress! He was terrified of the car and wouldn't even walk near one, and recently he jumped in on his own! Leo is a GREAT walker around the neighborhood, and gets along with all people, although he hasn't had much exposure to little kids, so we think no toddlers in the house for Leo as they tend to be a bit louder and unpredictable. He has gotten along well with all dogs he has met and is a bit on the submissive side. Sadly, he will let other dogs just push him around, so he needs to be with a dog that won't pick on him. ;-) If you are interested in Leo, please submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Leo would be a good match for you and your family. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $200.00 If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com. If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with medical expenses and ongoing care. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Leo, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!

Story
Meet Rayne!! Rayne is a 3-yr old (birthday 1/22/23) beautiful GSD weighing 76 lbs. Rayne is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all her commands (sit, stay, down). She is very smart. Rayne does doggie daycare and is great with all dogs and people she meets. Typical of a young GSD, she needs mental stimulation and exercise, so a fenced in yard (not electric) and an active owner would be best for Rayne. Rayne was already spayed and microchipped, and we had all her vaccinations updated; she is current with vaccinations. We also had her tested for HW and the 4DX was negative. If you are interested in Rayne, please submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Rayne would be a good match for you and your family. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process.

Ruby was found dumped by previous owners. We have fostered her for 2 years and desperately need to find her a new home because of our situation. She is a sweet girl that loves to play and cuddle. She is shy at first, but then overly loving. Her underbite makes her stand out from the rest as it will make you laugh all the time. Her sweet face always changes.
