Story
Food: Stella and Chewy's Red Meat Recipe - No Grains or Legumes Hello there! My name is Roxy. I have tons of spunk and even more attitude. I love to chew on plushy toys, jumping, checking everything out...I am full of puppy energy. I LOVE to use my teeth when I play with toys, hoomans, and other doggos. Some dogs do not appreciate my "in-your-face" energy. My foster sister tolerates me and even plays sometimes, but foster mom has to tell me to stop sometimes. With my anxiety, new environments stress me out, so I pace, drool, and pant. I will need patience. Quirks: I will require a solid decompression plan to help me adjust to my new home. I need firm boundaries and rules.

Story
Location: Pittsburgh, PA Food: Taste of the Wild Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heart worm preventative Hi, my name is Oreo! I came to the rescue a little shy and unsure of my surroundings but my fomma says that I am coming out of my shell every day. I now play with toys and get the zoomies. I love to curl up on the sofa with my foster mom and cuddle. My ideal home would be one that is relatively quiet. Sometimes noises scare me. I really would rather be an only dog but I might be okay with a dog that is calm. I sleep quietly in my crate at night and have never had an accident in my crate. My foster mom takes me out several times a day for potty breaks and I use the bathroom every time. If I seem like a good fit for your family, I would love to be adopted. Please fill out an application for me.

Story
Location: Dayton, OH Food: Raw Diet Medication:Standard Process brand; Super-EEF, Neuroplex and Neurotrophin PMG My name is Tiffany, and I'm Penelope's talent agent. Penelope studied Ballet at Cincinnati Ballet School in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a Principal dancer and danced so beautifully. She was coming out of a Ronde de jambe and lost her footing and fell. After many doctors appointments she has not gained full movement from her waist down. The poor girl lost most of her feeling in her right leg. She still has her pointed toes though! After many people tried and couldn't deal with her dancer drama, BadAss Bulldog rescue jumped in and took over. Penelope is now thriving and slowly getting on her feet. We believe that with continued acupuncture she will just keep getting better! Here is a little snippet from Penelope herself so you can get to know her! I am the happiest girl you will ever meet! I love to play, chew on toys, get pets and treats!!! I've never met a treat I didn't like! I'm a chewer so I always need something to chew on. As you have noticed I don't walk very well. After seeing all these doctors we decided to start acupuncture. So far it is really helping! I'm gaining more stability in the left leg but my right leg still gets a little wonky. I'm standing more and walking some. I use a brace and wheelchair to help me walk. When I'm not in my brace and wheelchair, I'm the fastest dog on two legs!I am incontinet, I sometimes wear diapers and I don't alway know when I need to go to the bathroom. My foster mom tries to give me more outside time so I don't have any accidents in the house. I love it outside! I also love to play with the other dogs. I enjoy tugging on toys with my foster sister, it's my favorite game. I will say that the one thing I enjoy the most is laying in my bed and chewing on my toys. I love to sit there and watch everyone while I relax! If I sound like the bestest best best buddy for you then please fill out an application. I very excited to meet you!

Story
Location: Dayton, OH Food: American Journey Lamb and Sweet Potato Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heart worm preventative A home with a low key lifestyle without too much coming and going. Walks aren't really my thing but I love car rides. I love to play with toys, snack on popcorn and snuggling on the couch. I would love to be in a home where I'm not crated all day and all night! I also need someone that will have patience to continue my potty training even with the occasional accidents in the home. Currently, I'm in a foster home with a couple without children or any other pets, however, I do enjoy meeting new people. Sometimes I enjoy meeting new dogs too, but most times I stay clear of them!

Story
Location: Hamilton, OH Food: Pork Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative Hey you! Don't I know you? I know now... It took me a minute to put my paw on it. You are the one looking for a bestest buddy! Well Well today is your lucky day! YOU FOUND HIM!!! Hi I'm Charlie... I'm a 3 year old English Bulldog and just like you I am looking for my bestest buddy too... Let me tell you a little about myself. Since coming into rescue I have learned a lot of things. The main one is rules and boundaries... What can I say I am a bulldog you know! Where I was before I didn't have rules and boundaries. I mean who am I kidding? I didn't even have a bed, toys, bones and even hoomans that I love so much. I had to learn a lot... Fomma says I am a very quick learner and I am always eager to learn. I have learned sit, wait for my food till I'm told to get it, manners and a very important one... Who's in charge.. Come to find out it was not me! I like it better that way honestly. I love to take walks and I am working on my leash manners as well... There are just so many awesome things out there to see and smell its hard to stay focused. I have worked so hard at it that I hope you are up for taking walks, cuz I don't want to forget anything I have remembered. Lets see... Oh yeah if you are wondering if I like other dogs... Ummmm it would have to be very slow introductions. I love to run the fence line with the other fosters here and the neighbor dogs. It's just when the gate opens I tend to get a little overly excited and so I think it is just best we keep it to playing on opposite sides of the fence. Now if you would like to go outside and throw some ball I am down for that any and every day. Sometimes I bring it back and sometimes I don't. But I guarantee you that it will be a great time not matter what... Ok enough about me... If I sound like a good fit for you please fill out an application and fomma will be in contact with you. Then when I get home you can tell me all about yourself... I can't wait to hear it... LOVE CHARLIE
