Story
She was dumped at the dog park by my work And the county shelter would not pick her up. I ended up getting her out of the cold with the intentions of a foster keeping her, but the person backed out so now she is in my house with my three shepherds, not getting the attention she deserves. I found an amazing organization that got her spayed, chipped and vaccinated with proof and now she is ready to find her furever home. She is good with other dogs just like to play. Please don't over look this sweet young pitbull she is well mannered after getting settled in.

Story
Dennis is 4 years old and he is a very good dog. We got him as a new puppy just before our daughter was born and were optimistic. Unfortunately, despite no behavioral problems and being easy enough to house-train, my wife and I have come to the realization that we simply are not dog people as we had thought ourselves to be. He is incredibly sweet and good with children and other dogs. I have never even seen him bare his teeth. He has more energy than I care to exhaust as often as he deserves (a modest amount), which is what this decision has largely come down to. We learned about ourselves that we aren't "dog people;" okay, so we're sentenced to some 15ish years of just treating the poor guy like a burden... every pet, obligatory. every food purchase, a regretful necessity. He deserves a home with someone/people who will genuinely enjoy him because we can see that he would be so easy to love by those with the capacity to make room for him as a member of their family.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Iris is a sweet, loving dog who deserves a home that can give her the time, training, and environment she needs. Due to an incident in our home we have to rehome her. We believe she is meant to be an only dog or possibly with big dogs only. We believe her past owners kept her in her crate and didn’t socialize her. She is a year old, spayed and completely up to date on vaccinations. She is amazing around kids and people in general. I’d love for her to go to a rescue or to someone experienced in the cane corso breed or just big dogs in general.

Penny is a senior beagle who came to OBHR from a local shelter who was seeking a rescue because Penny was thought to be pregnant! Ultrasound and X-rays confirmed great news! Penny is not pregnant! She does however have an old lady pooch of a belly and she has obviously had pups in the past! She is scheduled for a spay on June 25 and will be ready for a new home soon after! She is otherwise in great health and a very happy girl who loves to play and snuggle! She sleeps through the night ok and has done fine in her crate. She has not had an accident in her foster home so appears to be house trained. Penny is guessed to be around 10 years old but still has plenty of play in her!
