Story
Hi I’m Taco! I am awesome with other dogs, cats and children! Even babies! I am 75% terrier and 25% boxer. I am a very sweet boy and I love to play, but also take long naps. My cat brother passed away, and I have been escaping the house trying to find him. I am a good escape artist. I was born in the country and now that I live in a neighborhood, I am not as happy! Taco is a WONDERFUL dog! He has just been so depressed since we moved and has run away 3-4 times to our neighbors. We want him to be happy and loved! He is seriously amazing with kids and will even roll a ball back and forth with our toddler.

Story
Augie is a charming French Bulldog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was found wandering the streets of Cincinnati, and despite every effort, no one came forward to claim him. Now, this little guy is ready for a fresh start and a forever home! Augie is a typical Frenchie — full of spunk, curiosity, and endless affection — but he’s also been through a lot, and he needs someone who will take things at his pace. Augie only wants one person in the home with him. He will be so loyal to that one person. If visitors come over, he will be happy in his crate or in a room with some food and toy. He doesn't want to meet your friends. He also wants to be your only fur baby. Because... he's the perfect baby. Why would you need another one? Once he knows you’re in his corner, he’ll be your loyal, goofy, snuggly sidekick for life. He enjoys short walks, cozy naps, and being part of the action (especially if it involves snacks). If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances and building trust one step at a time, Augie might just be the dog for you. Ready to meet Augie? Fill out an adoption form today and give this sweet boy the gentle forever home he deserves. 💙

Story
Meet Pixie! This 11-month-old, 38lb golden girl is a true survivor with a heart of gold. She’s crate trained and mostly house trained, and does well with other dogs. Pixie recovered from a severe dog attack and has some permanent damage to her front leg—but you’d hardly notice, and it doesn’t slow her down at all. She’s a total “velcro dog” who just wants to be close to her person and soak up all the love. If you want a deeply devoted companion, Pixie is your girl.
