Story
Staffordshire terrier and Cane Corso mix puppy whose name is Hope. My wife rescued her late last year as she was the runt of the litter from homeless couple that just didn’t have the means to keep her. She is 7 months old with all that puppy energy, super affectionate, and very smart. Definitely more of an outside dog and she loves to chew so I would definitely recommend some good chewing bones. She needs her shots and will need fixed when you get the chance.

Story
We rescued Meleys from the local shelter 3 years ago. Not much was known of her before she arrived at the shelter other than she was guessed to be around a year old. She is a very smart dog. Only took about two weeks to house train her. She can get moody at times and will take her sweet time listening to you. She loves new people and can get a little over excited but will calm down after she gets her attention. She absolutely loves the outdoors. Rain or shine, hot or cold she just loves the outside. This is why we must rehome her. A loss of job has forced us to move into an apartment instead of the house we are currently in. She will be horrible if she is confined to a smaller place without a yard to run in. This with the loss of income has made it so that we can’t give her the home she deserves. She did take apaquel for skin allergies but we have fallen behind on it and her shots. We have kept up with flea and tick prevention but that is all. Rehome fee is negotiable.

Story
Trevor is 5 years old, I got him 2 years ago and my schedule was way different at that time. With my work schedule and a baby on the way we are unable to give him the time and exercise he needs. He is very loving to people. He has issue with cats and other smaller animals. He has never hurt another animal, but likes to chase other animals .

Story
Location: Centerville, OH Food: Royal Canin GI multifunction Hydrolyzed Medication: NexGard Plus Harvey is a three year, 9 month old bully who is pretty laid back and loves everyone. He is a touch underweight and could use a couple extra snackos until he puts on a few pounds. We have been feeding him just a bit extra each meal to slowly get him where he needs to be. Harvey loves a good walk and does really well with almost no pulling at all. He gets along with all the dogs in our house and even ignores our house rabbit. He is a super happy guy. In fact, he is so happy that he has missing hair on his tail from wagging it so hard against the bars of his crate. He is crate trained and potty trained with his only accidents the first couple days here (different environment and schedule so to be expected). He would be good as a single dog or with a dog sibling or two. Due to his size and energy I’d recommend older children who are not easily knocked over by a bigger dog. He really is a happy go lucky guy who wants to be by your side and see what you are doing at all times. If you need a Velcro friend, Harvey may be the guy for you. ***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!!!

Story
Location: Cincinnati, OH Food: Hydrolyzed Protein Medication: NexGard Plus 🐾 Meet Scooter 🐾 Hi friends… Scooter here 💙 I’m not your average pup, and I’m not looking for an average home. I’m looking for my person… the one who sees past my challenges and knows I’m something really special. Let’s start with the important stuff. I have some unique needs. I don’t use my front paws like most dogs, so I rely on my mouth to interact with the world and get your attention. Because of that, I’ll need someone who understands how to guide me and help me learn better ways to communicate. I thrive with clear boundaries, structure, and consistency… and I truly do best with a confident human who won’t let my cute face run the show 😏 I can be a little bossy if you let me, but that’s not what I need. What I need is someone who will help me be my best self ❤️ I also have some mobility challenges with my back legs, so I’ll need a family committed to my care… things like exercise, therapy, and keeping me strong and comfortable. I promise I’ll give you my whole heart in return. Now for the fun part… I’m actually a pretty chill guy 😎 I love hanging out, being part of your day, and just soaking up life. I’m sweet, I’m handsome (obviously), and I’ve got a personality that will make you smile every single day. I would really love a home with another dog to show me the ropes and keep me company 🐶💕 I also need mental stimulation to keep my mind busy and happy. So here’s the deal… I’m not the easiest dog. But I am the kind of dog that will change your life if you give me the chance. If you’re patient, strong, loving, and committed… I’m ready to be your best friend forever 💙 Love, Scooter 🐾 ***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!!!
