Story
Tank is a young, neutered male Staffordshire terrier/Lab mix who is looking for a home where he can get a lot of love and attention. He is very affectionate, curious, playful, energetic, and smart. He is eager to please, very inquisitive, and likes learning new things. In his spare time, Tank enjoys watching tv, playing fetch, tug of war, and frisbee, going for walks, chewing on his toys, cuddling with his human, and even walking on the treadmill! He is very well behaved in the house and is potty trained. He knows his basic commands and does pretty well on a leash. He has made great strides in socializing with other dogs. Tank would do best in a home with no toddlers or very young children, as he doesn’t realize how big and strong he is. If you are looking for an active dog to play and explore with, Tank is your boy! Foster will pay half of the adoption fee. Tank is being fostered in Richfield, OH through Powellpaws.org.

Story
Meet Dexter — your future best friend with a soft heart and a playful spirit Dexter is a 5-year-old Swiss Mountain Dog mix (DOB 2/11/21) who beautifully blends curiosity, playfulness, and calm companionship. With his medium energy level and gentle, mild-mannered personality, he’s just as happy heading out to explore the world as he is curling up next to you for a cozy cuddle session.This sweet boy is a total lovebug—chest rubs are his absolute favorite, and he’ll happily soak up all the affection you have to give. When it’s time to play, Dexter is all in, especially if toys are involved. Tug-of-war is one of his favorite games, and he brings a fun, playful energy without ever being overwhelming.Dexter is also a smart and well-mannered gentleman. He knows commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “high five,” and if you tell him “off,” he’ll politely let go of whatever is in his mouth or hop off the furniture. He’s crate trained and reported to be housetrained, making him an easy companion to welcome into your home. He even has a bit of a foodie side—Dexter is a self-proclaimed bread connoisseur with a special love for blueberries He weighs _____ pounds and came to us as an owner surrender when his family fell on hard times. Despite the change, Dexter has remained the sweet, loving boy he’s always been. No cats for Dexter. Children 5 years and older are fine. Compatibility with other dogs is unknown. If you have a resident dog, a meet and greet must be scheduled. Dexter is already neutered and is available through our foster-to-adopt program, which allows you to bring him home while he completes his vetting with our shelter team, including vaccinations, a microchip, and heartworm testing.If you’re ready to give a kind, cuddly, toy-loving boy the fresh start he deserves, Dexter is ready to meet you. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and submit an online adoption application for Dexter. His adoption fee is $160.

Story
Meet Scout, a 70-pound bundle of enthusiasm who approaches life like every day is the best day ever. This handsome boy is a male Border Collie mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for adventure. He was found as a stray and no one claimed him. If you’re looking for a dog who’s ready to get out, get moving, and make the most of every moment, Scout is already wagging his tail to meet you.Scout is full of energy and would thrive in an active household where walks, hikes, playtime, and outdoor adventures are part of the daily routine. He’s the kind of dog who wakes up ready to go and can’t wait to see what fun the day will bring.Now, in the spirit of honesty, Scout is still working on his leash manners. He’s strong and can pull when he gets excited, so he’ll need a confident handler who can keep up with his enthusiasm and help guide him in the right direction. With some basic training and consistency, Scout has all the potential to learn the ropes and become a great walking partner. Right now he’s just a little too excited about the world around him to remember his manners.Scout also has a serious interest in the local wildlife population. Squirrels, birds, and anything that scurries tends to grab his attention immediately, which means a home with cats or small furry pets probably isn’t the best match for this curious guy. Compatibility with other dogs is unknown. Compatibility with children is unknown but older children are a better bet. Scout is currently available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program. That means you can welcome him into your home and start bonding right away while he completes his vetting with the shelter veterinarian. His vetting includes neuter surgery, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and a microchip.If you’re ready for a big, fun-loving dog who will keep life exciting and make sure you never skip leg day on your walks, Scout might just be your perfect adventure buddy. Please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out an online dog adoption application to meet Scout. Scout’s adoption fee is $160.

Story
Got this puppy for Christmas but unfortunately he isn’t a fit for our family due to our current situation. He is chipped and I have a warranty from petland for health. He is playful, snuggles a lot and really a great pup. Started learning his name fast and loves running around our backyard. Will meet you to drop off but will not drive longer than a hour.

Story
Indy is a funny, loyal and energetic dog. She loves her family very much and wants to always protect us. We love Indy dearly but unfortunately it’s not working out with our cats. She’s been chasing them and acting aggressively towards them. She never acts that way with us. She’s very playful but also very affectionate and loves to be around us all the time. I also recently received news that I’m unable to work from home anymore and it will be hard to be the best dog owner in my situation. I want what’s best for Indy and I want her to have a good loving family. She is very good with my kids and loves them dearly.
