Story
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
Meet Dolly 🌸 She is a low-maintenance, easygoing girl who enjoys short walks, lounging in the sun, and relaxing in the grass. She loves affection and quiet companionship more than anything. She gets along with other animals as long as they give her space, she’d do best in a calm home with relaxed pets or as the only animal. Dolly is a gentle 9-year-old, 55-pound sweetheart who has overcome more hardship than any dog should. She spent the first part of her life chained to a tree in Indiana for three long years, used for breeding until she could no longer have puppies. When she was no longer wanted, she was left to live in a car in Ohio. 🌸Despite everything she’s been through, Dolly’s heart is pure gold. She’s now working on gaining back some healthy weight and learning what it feels like to be safe and loved. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and recently had a few growths removed, so she’s ready for her forever home. After everything she’s survived, Dolly truly deserves a peaceful, loving place to call home, one where she can finally just be loved. ❤️ Text to meet Dolly 🌸440.773.1707 / (216) 470-4322❤️

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 Uno is a 20-pound, 8-month-old Terrier mix with an incredible spirit and an even bigger heart. He came to us after suffering a serious injury that required a leg amputation—but you’d never know it! Uno doesn’t seem to notice he’s missing a leg and keeps up just fine with his playful, joyful attitude. He’s still working on potty training and can be vocal in his crate, but he’s making progress every day. Uno gets along well with other small dogs and has not yet met cats or kids. He knows how to sit and absolutely loves toys, especially when it’s time to play. Uno is the perfect mix of fun and relaxation—he’s happy to romp around with his friends and just as content to chill on the couch with the rest of the crew. Resilient, playful, and full of love, Uno is ready to find a forever home that will see him for the amazing dog he is. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, the first thing to do is submit an application for approval. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the rescue location as it is a privately run boarding, training, & grooming facility. Individual meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters.

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 Meet Papa — a.k.a. Big Papa 2-year-old Bulldog mix, Professional Heartbreaker, Volunteer Favorite, Certified Loverboy! Ladies… brace yourselves. This handsome hunk is a BIG kisser, a world-class cuddler, and a smooth talker (well… tail-wagger) who absolutely thrives on female attention. If there’s a woman in the room, Papa will find her, charm her, kiss her, and make her feel like she’s the only person on Earth. It’s his gift. Papa’s hobbies include: -Being irresistible -Chewing bones like a champ -Performing intense “surgery” on unsuspecting stuffed toys -Playing tug like it’s a competitive sport -Collecting admirers everywhere he goes But don’t worry — this flirt has manners, too. He knows sit, keeps his crate spotless, and happily settles down after playtime. He pops right into his kennel like it’s no big deal because hey, even icons need their rest. Papa is dog-friendly, but cats? Absolutely not. The man has opinions, and his prey drive says “felines need not apply.” A fenced yard is recommended, because when Papa sees something exciting… well, he’s gonna go for it. Leash manners? He’s working on it. But Big Papa is super food- and praise-motivated, so with the right partner, he’ll improve quickly. Papa is fun, affectionate, wildly charming, and full of life. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, flirty stud who knows how to make you feel special…Come meet Big Papa. He’d love to kiss you hello.
