Mastiff Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 11 yrs 2 mos
Marysville, OH
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kingston is our distinguished and slightly older gentleman. He came to us as a stray, so his background is unknown. We learned that he loves to run and play in the yard. He is sweet but strong. He is getting better at leash walking. He was in a foster home briefly and decided he doesn't want to share his home with cats. His foster said he was guarded with the men he met. He has been reactive to the dogs here in the shelter, so he needs to be the one and only pet in the home. Kingston needs a home where he can curl up on the couch or a nice doggy bed and enjoy the day.

Marshmallow 🍫🔥 Meet Marshmallow, the sweet, squishy pup who’s ready to melt your heart! Though he was dealt a rough hand in life, this goofball is all about toasting up some fun and finding a home where he can be his goofy self. Marshmallow needs a home without cats. He is dog selective. He does not do well with the male dogs here. He seems to do better with female dogs. If you have a female dog, we could do a meet and greet. Marshmallow has done well with children. Like a perfect s’more, Marshmallow’s heart is filled with sweetness, and he’s ready to share that love with a family who’ll appreciate his playful spirit. He’s the kind of dog who might be a little gooey around the edges, but once you give him a chance, he’ll be the most delightful treat you could ask for. So, grab a seat by the campfire—Marshmallow is ready to be the marshmallow to your s’more!

Oz

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 4 yrs 10 mos
Marysville, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Oz is looking for a temporary or permanent foster. He has been with us since this past April. He came to us as a stray. So, no background information on him medically or behaviorally. Oz is a big boy who just makes you smile because he is always so happy. This late August, Oz started showing some neurological issues. He was stumbling and had a head tilt. We did some tests and we were not able to get a definite diagnosis. Oz is currently on medications to keep him happy and feeling the best him he can be. Since he needs medications and possibly more, Oz is only available for fostering. This way we can manage any medical issues that might come up and make sure that he is on his medications. Oz possibly may do okay with another calmer dog but a meet and greet would be necessary. Oz would do best in a home without cats. If you would like to know more about Oz or would like to visit this sweet guy who you will fall in love with, please fill out an online foster application.
