Story
**This is a courtesy posting. if interested, you will be put in contact with the current owner** Frank is looking for his furever home! Frank is a 3-year-old retriever/lab mix. He is happy, loving and content when he feels safe, but he has some anxiety that makes him nervous around strangers. His current owners say he is an absolute MUSH once he knows and trusts you. Frank loves to go to doggy daycare twice a week and loves the other dogs and staff. He knows basic commands. He is up to date on all his vaccinations and sees the vet regularly. Frank would be best in a home with no children and a home that does not have a lot of people coming and going. He is looking for a safe and quiet home to call his own! Please message us to be put in contact with Frank’s current owners for more information on adopting this sweet boy!

**This is a courtesy posting. if interested, your information will be passed along to their current owner** Smokey and Cannon are looking for their furever home!

Smokey is a 6 year old catahoula and husky mix. Cannon is a 2 year old catahoula, husky, lab and pit mix. They are both neutered and up to date on vaccines. Smokey’s current Dad says he has a chill personality and loves to play. He also said that Cannon is a sweetheart and a big goofball who also loves to play. They get along great with other dogs and other people. They have not been around any children at this time. Both love going for car rides, playing fetch and going on walks. For more information on this dynamic duo, message us to be put in contact with their current Dad. They would prefer that the pair get adopted together as they are a bonded pair.

Cleveland Heights, OH
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hannibal is a 6-month-old Shih/Aussie mix who is up to date on all his shots. He is playful, friendly, and loves toys and playing with kids. He has a sweet personality and enjoys being around people. Hannibal is kennel trained and sleeps in his kennel at night without any issues. He does not pee in his kennel. He is doing well with potty training and goes outside to pee. We are looking to rehome Hannibal because, unfortunately, caring for a young dog has become too much responsibility for my parents. This decision was not made lightly, and our priority is finding him a loving home. We are seeking someone who has the time, patience, and compassion to care for a young, active dog and who is looking to add a loving companion to their home. Hannibal would do best with someone who can continue his training and give him the attention he deserves. If you or someone you know can provide a safe, loving forever home for Hannibal, please reach out.

Have you ever wanted a goofy 95 lb. lap dog?? Prince is your guy!! We were finally able to pull Prince from the shelter, thanks to our wonderful fosters!! Prince is a loveable, playful, charming guy who is good with other pups and is fantastic with cats! He is up to date on vaccines & vetting. He was euth listed at a local shelter after a minor bite incident in which he clearly expressed discomfort and his warning signals were ignored. He was a staff/volunteer favorite, while at the shelter. He is with foster parents who are extremely dedicated to setting all of the dogs that they foster up for success, They really work to understand their quirks & work through any issues they might have. Prince is really becoming his best self, and is ready to find his forever family. Prince does prefer a quiet, adult only household.
