Story

Woody is very loving and cuddly when he warms up to you. He can be anxious at first when meeting so a slow introduction is best for him. Woody is in a need of someone who can accommodate his high energy with lots of exercise. Woody is great with other dogs. He is kennel trained due to his separation anxiety. Woody has a very fun attitude and loves to back talk. Can always count on woody to comfort you and make you feel better. We have had some recent changes at home. Unfortunately Woody would not be good around kids. I would hate to limit his space in our home. It’s not the life I want to give to him. He deserves to be around someone to give love and affection to all the time. Woody loves to run in our fenced yard and say hello to the neighbors dogs. Will come with his kennel, a bag of dog food, and his bed. In need of a loving home! Someone to cuddle the nights away with!

Sammy

Hound (Unknown Type)

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sammy is a wonderful dog with a generally very pleasant and loving personality. Sammy is 8 years old, we adopted her as a puppy in November 2017. Sammy is good with our family and other dogs when visiting daycare or dog parks. But she is very territorial and does not do well with visitors to our home. I feel she could get over that with proper training but we have not been able to do that. My daughter is going to college and due to our health issues and busy schedule we are not able to provide the best care for Sammy on an ongoing basis. We are looking for a foster home that will provide temporary loving care for Sammy while allowing us to bring her home for a weekend or other break when our daughter is home from college. Eventually we would like our daughter to keep Sammy when she is on her own and able to do so. We live in the northern Colerain Township area of greater Cincinnati, so it would help to have the foster care to be within reasonable proximity of our location if possible.

Cincinnati, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I adopted Burrow from a kill shelter in 2023, and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. He’s a high-energy, fun-loving dog who will always keep you moving and bring life to your home. Burrow is extremely social—he loves meeting new people and thrives in environments where he can play, explore, and stay active. Whether it’s going for a run, playing fetch, or just being part of the action, he’s happiest when engaged and included. Unfortunately, due to major life changes, I’m no longer able to give Burrow the time and stability he deserves. I’m looking for the perfect home where he can continue to thrive—ideally with someone who understands energetic dogs and can give him the attention and exercise he needs. He’s an amazing companion, and I just want to see him land somewhere safe, stable, and loving. If you think you might be a match, let’s talk.

Story

Max is an incredibly sweet and soft senior girl. She has an easy-going temperament, but gets very excited to go on a walk. She's in good shape for an older dog, but seems to have trouble hearing. She belonged to a friend, who passed away, and has been staying with our family (couple with 2 kids and 2 other dogs) for two months. She is sweet an independent. It would be ideal if Bindi could be adpoted to the same owner. Bindi is a 6 year old boy who also belonged to our friend that passed. The two dogs are bonded and good companions.
