Story
Waylon is a sweet, calm boy who loves playing ball, exploring, and playing in the snow.  He came to us a stray, found near the river in Moraine. He rides very well in the car, and gets along with other animals although he prefers that they give him his space. He has high liver values that will need monitored but his liver biopsy showed no real concerns. He is epileptic and his seizures are under control with twice daily medication.  He is looking for a home with a yard as he loves to wander endlessly smelling all the smells. His only other requirements are tennis balls and loving pets. He's a pretty simple boy.  ##2627595##

Story
Sophie Rose is the most amazing best friend your family could want. She would really enjoy a family with kids. She gets along with other dogs. She loves cats as well. There’s not a mean bone in her body. The only issue with Sophie Rose is she likes to run! Like any other husky she is a Houdini! She loves running and we’ll go for miles and miles and miles. Sophie will need a home with a strong fence. Sophie is amazing. She is friendly! Sophie has always been an inside dog so Sophie will need a family that is looking for an inside dog. Sophie doesn’t like going outside when it’s raining, but Sophie loves the snow. Sophie also can jump like straight up off of four legs! She is so much fun. Sophie does talk like a husky and congest about say I love you. Sophie has never destroyed anything in the house or eaten anyone’s shoes or toys. For a while, Sophie was going to the pet suites daycare and loved it. Unfortunately, we moved far away. She gets along great with everybody.

Story
Hi!  I’m Catherine! I’m a 3 year old good girl and I get really excited at meal time. So excited that I give the cutest yips when my food is being prepared. Food aside, I love a good game of chase outside in the yard with the other dogs in my home. After some fun I enjoy a little snuggle time with my people. I don’t mind when my foster family leaves the house. They just toss some treats and a chew toy in my crate and I can keep myself occupied. Are you looking to add a pretty girl who loves snacks to your home?  Hit me up!  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   March 7, 2026, 9:24 am

Story
HI! I’m Rory . . unless my foster mom wants my full attention and then she uses my full name – Rorschach. I’m about 2 years old and I love ALL the things! I love food, treats, flowers, people, heck I even love my cage . . .well you get the idea, I am a lover! I am house trained and live riding in the car, I can doggie paddle, I know my basic commands and I am so smart I bet I could even learn more if you want to teach me. I love to play and then play a nice long nap. I value my beauty sleep so at bedtime I’ll go right into my crate. I am always the last one up in the morning and prefer a nice 8 to 10 hours to ensure I maintain this adorable face. Don’t forget, the name is Rory and I sit when asked, I’ve learned down and even shake, wanna see me do it?! Fill out an application and ask for a visit with me, the one with the heart shaped blot next to my tail - I bet you’ll fall in love, just like I will!  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home.
