Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

Meet Prince, A Gentle Soul Looking for His Kingdom of Kindness 👑🐾 Prince is a beautiful black Lab/Retriever mix with the sweetest, most soulful eyes. Rescued from a puppy mill, this tender-hearted boy is experiencing the world for the very first time, and it’s all a bit overwhelming right now. Still shy and unsure, Prince often prefers to be carried rather than walk on his own. Leashes are new and a little scary, but with time, love, and gentle guidance, we know he’ll find his confidence. He’s not quite ready for long adventures, but he’s ready to be loved. Prince needs a calm home with a secure, fenced-in yard where he can safely take baby steps into the world. Just as important, he’ll need another kind, confident dog by his side: a buddy who can show him that grass is good, humans can be trusted, and life can be joyful. This young Prince is looking for a patient family to help him become the brave, happy dog he was always meant to be. He may not know it yet, but his happily-ever-after is just around the corner. Are you the one who can give Prince his fairytale ending? 🐶💛

Thelma Lou

Hound (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 7 yrs 10 mos

Delaware, OH

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Meet Thelma Lou – The Sweetest Shadow You'll Ever Have 🐾❤️ Thelma Lou is a gentle, loving hound mix who's been stealing hearts in her foster home since fall (A LONG time, right?!). She’s a total sweetheart who adores her humans and wants nothing more than to be close- she's a certified shadow who lives for belly rubs and quiet companionship. Crate and house trained, she’s incredibly polite about letting you know when she needs to go out, and she’s as calm and well-mannered as they come. She gets along wonderfully with the two large resident dogs in her foster home, snuggling up with them for naps and enjoying group walks with her gentle lead. Thelma Lou is a slow eater and is still figuring out treats as well! This lovely girl is ready for a home that can offer her love, structure, and safety. She should not be in a home with small animals due to her strong prey drive, and while she has jumped a 5-foot fence in the past, she does beautifully on leash walks. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will quietly follow you from room to room and melt into your lap for love, Thelma Lou just might be your perfect match. 🐶💕

Mongo

Rottweiler

Male, 8 yrs

Delaware, OH

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Meet Mongo, a 7-year-old charmer who’s as smart as he is adorable! This loving boy enjoys the company of people and kids of all kinds, always ready to share affection and enjoy some quality time together. Mongo is a gentle soul with a big heart, and he’s sure to bring a lot of love to any home he joins. While Mongo has never interacted with cats or dogs growing up, but based on his interactions with dogs at the shelter we believe he would do best in a home without another dog. However, his calm demeanor makes him a great companion for anyone looking for a sweet and easygoing pup, so if you're looking for a single dog to spoil, he might be perfect for you! If you’re looking for a smart, loving dog who is ready to shower you with affection, Mongo is waiting to become your new best friend!
