Story
Harley was adopted from a shelter in Toledo Ohio, in February of 2022. They were not sure of her age, she is estimated at 7 years old currently. She is shy when first meeting with someone new, but as soon as someone shows her love, you are her new best friend! She loves to go by the name Harley Bear! Harley LOVES people and affection! She enjoys cuddling, being wrapped in blankets, and playing outside. She is playful and loves long walks or runs. She listens to direction well and is very loyal. She thrives on routines. She has been in doggie daycare before and loved it, especially playing with the other dogs. She is extremely smart and knows some tricks! She is potty trained, enjoys chewing on Benne bones, and loves having her own soft dog bed to sleep on! We unfortunately need to find a new home for her due to having an infant and we are unable to give her the attention she deserves! We are looking for a loving home for her!

Story
Meet Juno – Your New Best Friend! 🐶❤️Juno is a handsome Cavapoo born on September 14, 2025, and he’s looking for a loving forever home.Juno is an incredibly sweet, energetic, and loyal companion who loves being around people. He has a friendly personality and gets excited to play, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or simply running around the yard.He is well-trained and knows commands like sit and shake, and he is fully potty trained. Juno is smart, eager to learn, and responds well to positive reinforcement.This decision has been extremely difficult, but due to my demanding work and study schedule, I’m no longer able to give Juno the time, attention, and active lifestyle he deserves. Juno would make a wonderful addition to a family, couple, or individual looking for a loyal and affectionate dog.Adoption fee is negotiable. I will give all his supplies including leash, beds and toys for free.

Story
Meet Huey! This goofy, fun-loving guy is always ready to make the most of every adventure. Whether he`s exploring the great outdoors, tossing toys around the yard, or soaking up attention from his favorite people, Huey brings plenty of enthusiasm wherever he goes.Huey is an energetic dog who sometimes gets a little too excited. When he`s overstimulated, he may jump up or mouth while playing, so he`s looking for a home with adults or older, dog-savvy teenagers who can help him practice appropriate ways to channel his excitement using positive reinforcement and consistency.Huey enjoys the company of other dogs and has been friendly and playful during his shelter introductions. Because his play style can be a bit over-the-top and he doesn`t always recognize when another dog has had enough, he`ll need to meet any potential canine companions before heading home to make sure they`re a good match. He is not a fit for a home with cats or other small animals, as he has a history of chasing and becoming overly focused on them.Huey is a smart, affectionate boy with lots of potential. With an active family, continued training, and plenty of opportunities to burn off his energy, he`s sure to become a loyal and entertaining companion. If you`re looking for a dog who`s always ready for fun and will keep life exciting, Huey can`t wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Albany!Albany loves to play with toys, learn new things, and burn off her energy with a good run around! She also has a cuddly side, once she feels comfortable, she enjoys crawling right into your lap for affection.She is still learning the ropes when it comes to walking on a leash and will benefit from continued positive, patient training. Because she didn’t have much socialization as a young puppy, Albany can be nervous when meeting new people or experiencing new places and things. It may take her a little time to warm up, but with patience and understanding, she really starts to shine. For this reason, it’s recommended that everyone in the home come in to meet her so she can feel safe and comfortable with her new family.When it comes to other dogs, Albany may need some time to adjust. Once she does, she has shown playful behavior, though she can still be a bit unsure. A doggy greeting is recommended to make sure play styles are a good match.With time, patience, and love, Albany is sure to blossom into a fun, affectionate, and loyal companion. Come meet her and see if she’s the perfect addition to your home!
