Story
I'm heartbroken to have to rehome this wonderful dog and if I had any other choice I would keep her forever but it's not possible. Zarya is super sweet and loving, full of energy, and listens pretty well to commands like sit, shake, and wait. She is almost 3 years old and up to date on all shots and is spayed. She loves her squeaky nerf ball and takes it everywhere with her, and also likes other toys, bones and treats. Zarya is very playful and loves to run. She needs more attention and exercise, due to my work she is cooped up too much right now and would be happier with more time outside. She does not get along with cats at all and is iffy with other dogs, sometimes she gets along with them and sometimes not. She does pull on the leash sometimes on walks so I recommend using a harness but she listens very well to commands. Zarya is very cuddly and loves getting scratches, kisses, and pets. She is pretty good with kids but does get over excited and jumps sometimes.

Story
Adopted through petland in FL and moved back to home state OH. Unfortunately, we were unaware housing market is terrible and after 6 months of finally finding a rental landlord will not allow dogs. He is absolutely 💯 sweetheart he loves to play he pounces and very vocal, He Loves his backsctatches and wrestling. His tail gets going when hes excited to meet new people and gets jealous if he doesnt get to play when he sees neighborhood kids or sees a squirrel. He does great with other dogs we have play dates with 2 families with dogs both genders and did great ! Our cats don't like him because he sniffs or wants to groom them. He does tend to nap a lot and he Loves people food due to my fault of always giving him food and pup cups at dunkin. with portions of water confined into one area he has been potty and kennel trained and has done amazing 👏 he does not free roam outside aside fenced. he will wine and let you know when he wants out. He's charming playful and very kind asking 3k obo

Story
Jerry is an almost one year old puppy, born sometime in April. He is a real goofball and has a fun personality. He is super energetic and loves to run and play. He is house trained and will go to the door when he needs out. He can sit, come, shake, spin, lay, stay, and go to his place. He is very responsive to training. He is non-dominate and plays non-stop with other dogs. However, he is a resource guarder and needs positive based training only. He guards food and special toys and will snap at people and other animals if they get too close while in his possession. A home without kids and other pets will allow the fear associated with guarding to diminish.

Story
Sugar may be a special needs girl, however, the emphasis is on the word 'Special.' To know this girl is to love her! Despite her diabetes and blindness, she is a happy, extremely loving and lovable dog. She just wants to have a family or person to love and cherish her. It may take her a moment to warm up to some men, but it's all about smooches from there on out! Sugar loves car rides and rides quietly and well, she likes to be by someone and does well on a leash. She would prefer to be the only pet, though, and would need a home where someone is at home much of the time. This girl is well worth the time and effort! If you would like to apply to adopt Sugar, please copy and paste our adoption application:app.sparkie.io/application?t=5f594979eb40a0002eea0df2&m=DOG_ADOPT
