Story
Meet Pagani! She loves kids, other dogs, ALL humans, and is an expert at snuggling! Sometimes while she is sleeping beside you she will start snoring; this little snorty snore is sure to make you smile.  Pagani currently lives in a foster home with cats; they are assertive and put her in her place, she may do best with that kind of cat. She loves to go on car rides and does well out in public, because she  just loves people.  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.

Story
Meet Baby Girl! She qualifies as an “elder bull” on paper but don’t let her hear you say that!! Baby Girl hops around like a happy bunny particularly if you have treats. Food is her love language but she also loves snuggles. When Baby Girl is ready for bed she takes her emotional support stuffie & arranges her blankie so she is totally buried under it & you don’t hear a peep out of her! Baby Girl came to us after her person passed away and there was no one to take over her care. It was so sad because she went everywhere with her dad. Baby Girl is great in public! She has an autoimmune disease which causes the skin around her eyes to look funny. It is easy to manage as long as she only eats her food ( it’s a mature lamb that we get from chewy) & her freeze dried liver treats. Baby Girl also gets a pill every night  ( prednisone which is very inexpensive) & she eats that in bougie peanut butter which only has 3 ingredients! ( seriously Amazon is the best invention ever) If you're looking for a total doll baby who is ready to devote her golden years to you, apply to adopt Baby Girl! She is part of our Senior Soulmates Program. If she is adopted by a senior citizen, a generous donor will sponsor her adoption fee.  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.
