Story

🐾 Looking for a Loving, Active Home 🐾This sweet 7-month-old Lab/Heeler mix is full of energy and personality! He absolutely loves kids and gets along great with other dogs. He’s still learning about cats and tends to chase them, so a cat-free home (or someone willing to train him) would be best.He thrives on activity running, playing, and chasing a tennis ball are his favorite things. He’s a smart, high-energy pup who would do best with someone experienced in dog training and ready to give him the time, structure, and exercise he needs.Unfortunately, my home and schedule just aren’t the right fit for his needs, and I want to make sure he gets the life he deserves.If you’re active, patient, and looking for a fun, loyal companion, he could be perfect for you ❤️Please message me for more details or to meet him!

Zoey Grace

Labrador Retriever Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 1 yr

Parma, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Meet Zoey Grace. At just 1 year old and weighing 56 pounds, Zoey Grace is a happy, bright-eyed lab/mountain cur mix who’s ready to bring fun, love, and a little bit of goofiness into your life.This wonderful girl came to us when her previous owner lost their housing, and while that’s a sad turn of events, it’s clear Zoey Grace was well cared for and loved. Now she’s looking for her fresh start—and maybe her new best friend (hint: it could be you).Zoey Grace has a nice medium energy level—she’s always up for an adventure like a walk or a car ride, but she also knows how to settle in and relax. She’s crate trained, housetrained, and will even use pee pads if needed (talk about a well-mannered lady). She keeps her kennel nice and tidy at the shelter too. She is very strong on leash and will need a strong handler. She’s a smart cookie and already knows commands like “sit,” “paw,” “stay,” “take it,” and “outside.” With a brain like that, she’ll love learning even more with her new family.Zoey Grace has lived with cats and done well, though she may occasionally invite them to a game of chase (purely playful, of course!). She’s also great with older kids (10+), making her a fun and gentle companion for a family. She’s reported to be good with other dogs, but if you have a resident pup, a meet-and-greet is required to make sure it’s a perfect match.She can be a little shy at first—but don’t let that fool you. Take her for a walk, and you’ll quickly unlock her true personality: your loyal, tail-wagging BFF. Zoey Grace loves toys, enjoys exploring the world on walks, and is always ready to hop in the car for her next outing. She’s the perfect mix of playful and sweet, with just enough curiosity to keep life interesting.She is available through our foster-to-adopt program, which means you can welcome her into your home while she completes her vetting with the shelter vet. This includes vaccines, heartworm testing, and a microchip—everything she needs to start her next chapter healthy and happy. She is already spayed. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this very loveable companion, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and submit an online adoption application for Zoey Grace. Her adoption fee is $160. If you’re ready for a smart, loving, and slightly goofy sidekick, Zoey Grace is ready to meet you

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Appa is a one year old 75% great pyrenees mix. We do not know what he is mixed with. We purchased him from a grain farm as a puppy he has been crate trained, partially potty trained (he has occasional pee accidents). We waited until he was over 1 to have him neutered so that his bones were able to grow strong. He is trained for commands such as sit and stay. He is not aggressive at all. Loves others, protective and would work for any family home. He requires more attention than we can give due to our jobs. We are asking for what we paid for him $275. He has all shots and uptodate license.If you want his kennel and harness we will provide for an additional $150.
