Story
We are accepting applications for our sweet girl, Lorelai. She was a pull from Memphis Animal Services, on September 21, 2022. When she came to us she weighed 26lbs & was heartworm positive, She is with a foster who was getting her through her first few critical months, but still has her. She is more than ready for her furever love!! She is completely house trained, and is a very well behaved house guest. She loves all people, though she is more comfortable with her doggie friends who are more on the chill side. She has gone through her heartworm treatment, over 6 months ago. She is extremely sweet, despite all of the horrors that she endured before coming into our rescue.

Story
Capone came to us on Monday, August 14th, 2023. He was found in Chicago, taken to the shelter, nobody came looking for him, so the finder brought him home to Cleveland, Ohio. It is hard to tell what originally happened to his skin, but he was given a course of antibiotics, and his skin is all healed up. The best guess is something hot or a chemical was poured on him. What we do know is that he will NEVER have to endure anything like that ever again!! He is fully vetted & utd on all vaccines. He was a little underweight when he came to us at 38lbs. He is just about at the goal weight of 45lbs. now. He is about 2 years old. He is very treat motivated and knows some basic commands. He is fully house trained and is good with dogs. He is chipped, neutered & ready for his furevers! If you are interested in this handsome guy, with the softest fur that you have ever felt, please let us know.

Story
Hello, my name is Clooney! Clooney is a courtesy posting for a kind & loving family who sadly find themselves in a position of needing to lovingly rehome this gorgeous, sweet dog. Clooney wrote up a description of himself and he would like you to read it: "I am a mixed Brindle Pitbull breed and am about 3.5 years old. I am a big cuddle bug and sometimes don't even know my own size as I always sit with my owner on her recliner. Although we both don't fit very well, I love to snuggle . I have really big paws and I love to play with the hose in the summer. Its my favorite activity! I am so excited to see all the guests that come to my house to visit. Although I may need some work on jumping as I get so excited. I do really well with other dogs although I've never met any kitties. I think I may be just a tad rough with my house play that I may be best to be in a house with no children or adults only as I don't know my own strength. One of my other favorite past times is to lay in front of the fireplace on cold nights. I'm looking for my forever home and a family that I can continue to love unconditionally. Give me a few chew bones , an occasional toss of the stick and I will be the happiest big pitty ever! Take a peak at my adorable photos and I will melt your heart." If interested in adopting handsome Clooney, please submit an online application on the PAWS Ohio website @ www.pawsohio.org under the ADOPT tab. Thank you!

Coraline was an owner surrender from Kentucky where she was living outside with her 2 surviving puppies. She has been treated for infection and will need to gain some weight. As of 3/7/24 she is just about done nursing her 2 puppies, but we are currently looking for a foster to adopt home for her. She will be ready to leave them in 2-3 weeks. She does get along with the resident dogs & cats at her foster home. Great in social situations & great with humans of all sizes. She will be spayed before her adoption is finalized!

Atlas - “to Endure”. This adorable, snuggly little puppy came to Kane’s through a Good Samaritan who witnessed his owner publicly kicking him.

He has had his first round of shots and will be neutered before his adoption is finalized. Jack is a true momma’s boy! So far he is on the shy side, sticking close to mom, Coraline. He is doing so well starting to socialize with the other dogs in his foster home!
