Howdy! My name is Blu! I am a Handsome , 10 year old bulldog mix . I am fully vetted and potty trained. I am not only smart but active & I love to go for walks, explore! I have alot of energy for my age so you will get your steps in for sure! I LOVE LOVE to just snuggle & am always ready to watch movies or share dinner ! I will chase a ball & will entertain you with my witty personality! I walk well on a leash, knows "sit" "stay" "wait" "back" and "down" "leave it". I wait to go out of the house and come back in. He loves to watch the world go by out the window. He needs a 6' fence so he can zoom. I love humans & I dont mind older children (over 15 )who are respectful. I definetely need a home committed to giving me exercise! I loves hiking, walking, & I sleep very well when worn out at the end of the day! PS I don love to nap in the sun too! I sometimes have anxiety if I do not get the daily exercise so please know I will settle in with an active lifestyle.. I even have my very own trainer to help me acclimate to my new home!!!——— Text for a meeting with Blu! 440.773.1707

Story
MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Jazzy is a 4-year-old Boxer mix with a tender heart and a quiet soul. 💙 Although he may be missing an eye, it just makes him all the more unique! Jazzy’s working hard on potty training and truly wants to please his people — consistency and patience will help him continue to succeed. He is crate trained and does well having a safe, cozy space of his own, although he may be vocal at times before settling down. This sweet boy prefers durable chew bones, as blankets and stuffed toys tend to become his creative projects. Jazzy is shy and easily startled around new people, but once he feels safe, his gentle nature shines through. Jazzy thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where he has another dog or people around to keep him company and feeling safe. He is kid-friendly, calm, and more of a quiet observer than a rowdy participant. If you’re looking for a sensitive, loyal companion who just needs a little time to feel secure, Jazzy may be the perfect fit.

Story
MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Rusty is a 3-year-old Retriever/Hound mix with a heart as warm as his handsome copper coat. While he may have started out a little timid, this sweet boy has truly blossomed. Each day he grows more confident, more trusting, and more deeply bonded to his people. Rusty is the definition of loyal. If you leave the room, he’s right behind you. If you leave the house, you might hear a little whine letting you know he already misses you. He’s becoming the most adorable little shadow — and he wears the title proudly. This smart boy is eager to please and incredibly trainable. He already knows “sit,” walks nicely on leash (with just a little polishing needed), and is both crate-trained and potty-trained. With consistency and kindness, Rusty could learn just about anything — he truly wants to get it right. Rusty does well with other dogs and kids. He hasn’t met cats yet. He loves treats (who doesn’t?!) and is a true toy connoisseur — plushies, squeakers, balls… he appreciates them all and will happily show off his collection. When playtime winds down, you’ll likely find him curled up in the nearest dog bed, carefully selected Goldilocks-style until he finds the perfect one. Because Rusty has likely experienced some tough moments in his past, he can be sensitive to loud voices. He thrives in a calm, patient home where he feels safe and understood. In return, he gives the sweetest kisses, the gentlest affection, and a loyalty that runs deep. Rusty isn’t just looking for a home — he’s looking for his person. Someone who wants a devoted companion, a gentle soul, and a best friend who will follow them anywhere. If you’re ready for unconditional love (and a very cute shadow), Rusty is ready for you.

Story
MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Cash is an adorable Bully mix born on 12/11/25, and he’s the quieter, more observant half of his sibling duo. While he may be smaller than his sister June, Cash makes up for it with a big heart and a wonderfully gentle soul. Cash is very people- and dog-focused. From the moment he met his foster’s large resident dogs, he was eager to interact and be part of the pack. He’s a thoughtful little guy who likes to watch, learn, and imitate — whether that’s trying out a playful bow after observing wrestling matches or discovering that barking is part of dog-to-dog conversation too. He enjoys playing tug (he’s recently upgraded from shower curtains and comforters to playing tug with the resident dog — a big milestone!), but he also knows how to relax and simply chill nearby, soaking everything in. Cash is confident and well-adjusted for a young pup. He does great in the car, isn’t bothered by loud noises, and isn’t fazed by hats or other “scary” human accessories. He sleeps peacefully in his crate through the night, making him an easy addition to a loving home. Cash would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to learn from, but most of all, he’s looking for a family who will appreciate his gentle, observant nature and help him continue to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

Story
MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Camille, better known as Cami, is a Belgian Malinois with a heart as big as her brain! Born around 3/12/25, this girl is brilliant, loving, and deeply devoted to her people. She is friendly with dogs, cats, and kids. She truly adores children — especially her “small humans,” who she loves to snuggle up with whenever she gets the chance. Cami is already potty trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. She plays fetch, takes treats gently, and is an absolute wizard at puzzle toys. Her intelligence really shines — she has even tried agility courses and done amazingly well! This is a dog who loves to learn and thrives when her mind is engaged. Cami is also a big fan of chewing on bones, cozy cuddles, and being close to her people. She bonds deeply and loves hard. Because of her past, Cami does have some separation anxiety. As a very young puppy (around 5–6 months old), she was used as a guard dog in a warehouse and was found wandering alone multiple times by animal control. That early instability left her worried that when her people leave, they may not come back. She is working hard on this and improving, but she will need a patient, understanding family who can offer consistency, reassurance, and lots of love as she continues to build confidence. Cami would do best in a home with consistent routines, mental stimulation, and people who are committed to helping her feel safe and secure. In return, she will give you unwavering loyalty, affection, and joy. Cami is a truly special dog — sweet, smart, loving, and full of potential. With the right family, she’s going to absolutely shine If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, the first thing to do is submit an application for approval.
