Story
Meet Mabel! She’s a 1-year-old hound mix weighing about 25 pounds, and she’s as sweet as she is playful. Mabel loves spending time with both her human friends and her doggie pals, bringing joy and energy into every room she enters. Mabel's #1 skill is snuggling! Mabel enjoys romping around the yard, chewing on toys, and snuggling up with her people. She’s crate-trained, housebroken, and knows “sit.” She loves meeting new people and has done wonderfully with kids of all ages at events. With new dogs, she needs slow introductions, but once she feels comfortable, she enjoys playing and cuddling with familiar canine friends. An adopter committed to continuing positive training with dog introductions will be the best fit for her. Mabel has not met cats yet. She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Mabel's adoption fee is $250. Ready to Make Mabel Part of Your Family? Begin by completing an adoption application at www.rescue330.org. ##2618288##

Story
Meet Lydia!This 7-year-old boxer mix is the perfect blend of wiggles, smiles, and sweetness! Lydia has all the classic boxer charm — she’s friendly, affectionate, and full of happy energy. Lydia weighs just under 60 pounds. Lydia loves people of all ages and is always ready to make new friends. Whether she’s at the vet or out at an event, she’s a social butterfly who wins hearts everywhere she goes. She’ll sit patiently for pets and might let out a soft little whimper if she thinks she’s being ignored — she just loves attention that much! Lydia gets along well with the male dogs she’s met and the puppies in her foster home. She can be selective with female dogs, and her reaction to cats is unknown. She’s both crate trained and housebroken, making her an easy addition to your home routine. Before joining Rescue330, Lydia was living outside in West Virginia. Thanks to some kind rescuers, she’s now safe, loved, and ready for her forever home. She’s received excellent veterinary care, including being spayed and having some masses removed. Lydia doesn't let anything slow her down and is one of the most loving and happy dogs you will ever meet! Lydia is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and current on heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee is $200. Apply today at www.rescue330.org to make this sweet, smiley girl part of your family! ##2511861##

Story
Meet Bonita!Bonita is a 3-month-old retriever/super mutt mix who is everything you’d expect from a puppy: energetic, loving, curious, and just a little bit mischievous. She loves playing with other dogs, enjoys romping around in the snow, and is happy when she’s spending time with her humans. Bonita is doing well in her crate, is learning to potty outside, and doesn’t mind being held—especially if it comes with extra snuggles. She’s outgoing, confident, and always ready to see what’s happening next. Bonita has not met kids or cats yet, but with proper introductions, guidance, and patience, she has the potential to do great with both. Like most puppies, Bonita is currently teething and believes the world is her chew toy—shoes, rugs, and pant legs included. She’ll need consistent redirection to appropriate toys and a family committed to helping her learn good habits as she grows. With plenty of exercise, playtime, and guidance, she’ll thrive in an active home that can keep up with her puppy energy. Bonita is ready to learn, love, and steal your heart (and possibly your socks). Prior to adoption, Bonita will be spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Her adoption fee is $350. Ready to Meet Bonita? Start by completing an adoption application at www.rescue330.org. ##2642373##

Story
Meet Marshall! Looking for a dog who won’t bark at the mailman or judge your life choices? Congratulations—you’ve found him.Warning: He will steal your heart. This handsome guy is sweet, shy, timid, and basically a delicate woodland creature learning that couches, humans, and love are all safe. He’s nervous and easily startled (sneezes are suspicious), but here’s the important part: zero aggression. None. Not even when he’s scared. Just big eyes and gentle vibes. He came to us after being rescued from a house fire, and while he’s safe now, it explains why the world still feels a little overwhelming sometimes. Despite that rough start, he remains incredibly gentle and trusting—just taking things at his own pace. His highlights: Rarely barks — like, pretty much mute. A dream neighbor dog.Gets along great with cats and other dogs.Not destructive… but will quietly rearrange your rugs, pillows, and socks like an interior designer with paws.Would LOVE a giant basket of toys to proudly drag around the house.Crate trained and genuinely enjoys his safe space.Baths? Not his favorite. (Same, honestly.)Starting to cuddle as he warms up — slow burn, but worth it.Semi house-trained - doing well, but still needs some consistency and patience as he settles in. He is still nervous with his foster parents, but every day he takes tiny brave steps forward. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply once he feels safe and will be endlessly loyal to his person. If you’re patient, gentle, and have room in your heart (and floor space for toys), this quiet little soul might be your perfect match.  Marshall is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. His adoption fee is $250. Ready to Meet Marshall? Start by completing an adoption application at www.rescue330.org. ##2642378##

Darlene

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Senior
Akron, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Her name is Darlene and she is the sweetest pitty. I got her about three and a half years ago from the Humane Society and unfortunately I need to rehome her due to a change in my schedule and she would be by herself most of the time which is unfair to her. She does get separation anxiety and will take a few days/few weeks to fully warm up to you, but once she does she is a great dog to have. I put unknown for potty trained because she will go outside no problem, but still goes in the house when she is alone and needs to go even if taken out prior to leaving. She loves to play with stuffed animals, but isn't a big fan of the rubbery toys. She doesn't get along with any other animals and would need to be the ONLY dog/animal in the house. She would also benefit from someone who could be home with her more often or someone that is able to put in the extra work to possibly repotty train her, but like I said, she's a great dog, a little shy at first, but really sweet and loving.
