Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Max, our 99-pound gentle giant with a heart just as big as his frame. Estimated to be around 7 years old, Max is completely blind, though he seems to pick up on shadows and light. What he may lack in sight, he more than makes up for in confidence and trust. He walks forward boldly, sometimes with such determination that you’d swear he meant to bump into whatever was in front of him. That’s just Max choosing bravery every single day. When he first came to us, he was understandably unsure of new voices and unfamiliar spaces. It didn’t take long, though, for him to start leaning into kindness. Now, if you talk to him, he’ll tilt his head and soak in every word. Head scratches are his absolute favorite, and once he knows you’re his person, he trusts you completely. Max is proof that resilience can be quiet, steady, and incredibly sweet.

Story

Meet Salsa, the 57-pound wiggle machine who keeps us smiling. Around 8 years old, this bouncy girl brings a little spark wherever she goes. Her whole body gets involved when she’s excited, especially that adorable wiggle butt. Salsa can be talkative and may start a walk with some enthusiastic pulling, but give her a few minutes and she finds her rhythm. When she first came to us, she was cautious and unsure. Now she seeks out her favorite people and lights up when they’re nearby. She’s become a staff favorite because of her joyful spirit and the way she leans into affection once she feels safe. Salsa is resilient, loving, and ready to keep that tail wagging in a home of her own.

Lucky

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo

Delaware, OH

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

🍀 Meet Lucky 🍀 At just 11 lbs, Lucky is a tiny terrier mix with a gentle heart and a story that’s all about second chances. He came from a home with several other dogs, and while he was cared for, it became clear there were simply too many to give each one the attention they deserved. Now Lucky is getting his moment to shine ✨ Lucky can be shy and a little nervous at first — he’s the kind of guy who hangs back, observes, and takes his time deciding you’re trustworthy. But once you earn his confidence? He starts to show his sweet, affectionate side in the most rewarding way. 💖 Why Lucky is… well, Lucky: • Small, adorable, and easy to scoop up (yes, that matters) • Gentle and kind-hearted • Slowly but surely warms up into a loving companion • Gets comfort and confidence from other dogs 🐶 His ideal home: Lucky would do best in a home with another friendly, confident dog to show him the ropes and help him feel safe. A calm, patient environment where he can come out of his shell at his own pace will help him truly blossom. Lucky isn’t going to be the dog who runs up to every stranger — he’s the one who chooses his people, and when he does, it means everything. If you’ve got a soft spot for the shy ones and a little patience to spare… Lucky might just be your perfect match 🍀💕
