Story
Tiny was found abandon in May of 2024 after she had at least one litter of puppies. I took her in as a foster dog until she found her forever home. Since May of 2024, numerous people including myself have tried finding her a home. Tiny doesn’t like cats, rabbits, squirrels or any small animal. She gets along with big dogs, unknown about small dogs. She gets along with kids and adults. She loves to play and cuddle. She has never been aggressive toward me or anyone else. I had her spayed and microchipped.

Story
Bones is the most sweetest lovable dog I’ve ever been with. He’s very slender and can run 32 mph. He’s always happy and always wagging his tail. I found him on the side of the road about a mile from my house in the fall of last year and brought him home and got along great with my other two dogs up until two weeks ago. Now he feels the need to run from one of my dogs because he always wants to fight him. He knows many house tricks and his house trained and is very lovable. He actually has a spot of Hair on his side that looks like Woodstock. He loves all types of activities like playing ball, but his best feature is his cuddling. Great with children and great with cats. He’s very shy at first but once you get to know him, he’s very loyal I truly wish I could keep him, but my other dogs were here first. You definitely would have a friend for life and I’m assuming he’s approximately two years old.

Story
Location: YellowSprings, OH Food: Zignature Fish and Rick Medication: NexGard Plus Looking for an athletic bulldog who knows how to live life to the fullest? Meet Piper 😄 This beautiful merle girl says carpe diem! She loves going for jogs, playing with toys, wresting with her foster siblings, zoomies, and cuddling. Piper is athletic, energetic, and affectionate. She is is extremely playful, an excellent jumper, and has a level of agility you don’t often see in bulldogs — she’s fast, fun, and full of personality. Piper genuinely enjoys activity and movement. As a “test run” she recently completed a 1.25-mile jog on leash in about 20 minutes, and then came home with energy to spare and happily played with the other dogs! She truly loves dog-to-dog play and enjoys having canine friends to romp around with. And while she loves action, Piper is also sweet and affectionate. She’s generous with kisses and enjoys cuddling with her people and foster siblings between bursts of play. Piper is crate trained, great in the car, and mostly house trained. She has started responding to the command “go potty,” though she still has accidents and will need continued consistency as she finishes mastering potty training. Because Piper is smart, athletic, and curious, she can also be very good at getting into things and will require a reasonable level of supervision. Piper’s Ideal Home Piper will thrive in a home that is excited about an active bulldog who thrives in engagement. She’s a great match for a household that enjoys walks, hikes, light jogging, playtime, and outings, and would especially love having another playful dog to share her energy with. At the same time, Piper is also deeply affectionate and wants a family who will embrace her cuddly side — one that enjoys kisses, quality time, and snuggles after an active day. ***Adoption Process*** -All current pets in the home need to be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and on veterinarian prescribed flea/tick/heart worm prevention. -Everyone living in the home, including all resident dogs, must be present at the meet and greet located in the Southwest Ohio area. -We DO NOT ship dogs!!!
