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.

Holly

Hound (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 7 yrs 10 mos

Delaware, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Holly is a lovable, energetic girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s the kind of dog who keeps life interesting… and keeps you on your feet (literally). This smart cookie will alert you when she needs to go outside, so she’s already got a solid start on house manners. She’s also a great eater, happily finishing her meals and never saying no to a well-earned treat after a walk. Now let’s talk about her main character energy: Holly is strong and enthusiastic on leash. Walks with her are less “casual stroll” and more “let’s gooo!!” — she does know the command “stop,” but she’ll need someone confident and physically able to continue working on her leash skills. A younger, active home or someone who enjoys running or long walks would be perfect for her. 💖 The sweet side of Holly: • Absolutely adorable (yes, she knows it) • Loves being brushed and pampered • Super alert — she’ll bark and run to the door if she hears a horn or doorbell (even on TV 👀) • Affectionate and engaged with her people 🚫 No cats for Holly Holly would thrive in a home that can match her energy and continue her training. She’s not the dog for someone looking for a slow, quiet companion — she’s for someone who wants a fun, lively partner to share adventures with. If you’re ready for a dog who’s equal parts sweet, spirited, and just a little bit extra… Holly is waiting for you

Max

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 7 yrs 3 mos

Delaware, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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.
