Story
Mable is a sweet medium sized dog who loves people. I found her on February 26th. I went through the proper channels to look for her family. Unfortunately, no one came forward. She is up to date on vaccines. Her spay is scheduled for July 29th. She is on flea and tick medicine as well as heartworm medication.She loves other dogs and people! She can be scared of new people, that is something we are working on. I am not sure about her life before I found her but she was in rough shape. A house with a fenced in yard or someone who can walk her often would be best!She loves going on walks and playing. She also loves cuddling up and taking many naps throughout the day. Please let me know if you are interested!

Meet Raven This poor girl was used strictly for breeding, tied up in the backyard with multiple other dogs for the same purpose. She is only 1 & 1/2 yrs old and now learning what house life is like. She is extremely dog friendly, but no cats. She crates well and is working on leash training. She would really benefit from a fenced yard.

Story
Bear is about a 3 year old energetic male. My mother got him and his sister while she was living in Idaho. They had 60 acres for the dogs to run around and play with plenty of time to show him attention. Since moving to Ohio, he has not been able to run around and burn energy, due to a smaller yard. His owner unfortunately does not have the time to give him the attention he needs.He has never been raised around children, he is a one owner dog to an older lady. If properly acclimated to children, he may be compatable. He has only been raised around his bilogical sister, and would need aclimated with other animals.Bear would be a great dog for someone with a lot of room to run around and to be one on one with him. He is potty-trained; he sometimes needs reinforcements when it’s been a while since he has been outside. He usually barks to let you know when he has to go. Bear loves playing fetch, so he can keep you and himself entertained for a very long time.
