Details

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

Story

Leyna is an energetic, funny, smart, sweet and very loyal companion. She gets along with everyone but prefers and listens to men more so than women. She loves to run, play, but mainly sleep. Shes been around children of all ages and does well, cats unknown and she needs a fenced in yard. All of her records from the time my ex partner got her until now are in my possession. She is in perfect health other than occasional dry skin. Unfortunately I have to rehome her due to moving and going through fire/ems school. I took her with me because he could not, and it’s coming to the point where I have to find a home for her so she can be well taken care of and cherished. I’m in PA but will be around Kent on Sat 2/28, she needs to be rehomed that day.

Marcus

Rottweiler Husky

Male, Young

Tallmadge, OH

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marcus is a two-year-old, rottweiler/husky mix with a lot of energy and love to give. Marcus has been living with me for just over a year, but we eventually found out that my partner is unfortunately allergic to his dander. His energy needs are also a bit more than I (and my senior dog) can meet. He would do great with a runner or a big backyard/farm where he can chase things to his heart's content. He's a total snuggle bug when he's calm and will happily spend entire evenings with this head in your lap, but also LOVES to play and wrestle. He could definitely use someone who has experience training, though, as he likes to play nip when he gets bored. He is, however, very trainable and happy to do what you ask for a treat. His experience with other dogs is mixed, since he has been known to have some leash aggression. He's a definite no-go for any homes with cats, though! Are you ready to snuggle up with this smiley goofball?

Story

Lulu is a pure breed abkc American Bully. She is a very good dog but has knee issues, so she needs a home with first-floor living and easy access outside. She’s house-broken and can be left alone without damaging the home. If you’re looking for an easygoing, loving dog, Lulu is a great match. She loves short walks, swimming and most of all snuggling in bed!

Bruce

Labrador Retriever Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Adult

Hudson, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Bruce is a 66-lb sweetheart who showed up as a stray and has been winning over every person he meets ever since. I found him by a dumpster and took him in to make sure he was safe. Police scanned his microchip which traced back to a California animal control program, but there were no registered owners. Bruce is extremely people friendly and has done great with everyone he’s met, including friends and a toddler. He has a pretty low energy level and loves lounging around the house and getting pets. He is house trained, walks great on a leash, and knows sit, down, and shake. He’s also very polite in the house and doesn’t chew or jump on counters. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations (just needs a booster next month), and weighs about 66 lbs. Bruce didn’t get along with a male dog but was okay with a female dog, so he may do best as an only dog or with a calm female after proper introductions. He loves cheese and attention and would make a wonderful family companion.

Maggie Moo

American Staffordshire Terrier Rottweiler

Female, Adult

Cuyahoga Falls, OH

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Maggie is a 3-year-old sweetheart who perfectly balances couch potato energy with a love for adventure. This low-riding, beefy girl has a gentle soul and one very important life goal: to be as close to her people as possible at all times. Maggie recently returned to her foster home after experiencing a frightening incident while training to be a service dog for her adopter. She was attacked by another dog. While she came back with some scars, her spirit remained completely intact. True to her nature, Maggie continues to be incredibly loving, trusting, and sweet. You would never guess what she’s been through — her heart is still wide open, and she greets the world with kindness and affection. She absolutely adores car rides, happily joins in on adventures, and then transforms into the ultimate cuddle companion once back home. Personal space? Maggie doesn’t really believe in it. She wants to lean on you, sit next to you, and remind you constantly that you are her favorite person. Maggie is housebroken and does wonderfully in her crate, especially when a treat is involved (food is definitely her love language!). Toys are optional, but snacks are everything — her foster mom keeps treats in moderation to help her maintain her healthy 50-pound figure. Though Maggie has done well with dogs she’s met in the past and loves her large foster brother, she would truly thrive as the center of someone’s world. After spending her early years without consistent love — and previously raising puppies of her own — Maggie is now fully embracing the pampered life she always deserved. She was heartworm positive when rescued but completed treatment like a champ and is now healthy, active, and ready for adventures big and small. What Maggie wants most is simple: a safe home, a soft couch, and a human who will love her as fiercely as she loves them. Adoption is $300 which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly flea/tick prevention.

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Cuyahoga Falls, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This handsome 5-year-old Australian Shepherd is the total package — smart, loyal, and full of love! Max knows basic commands, is fully housebroken, and enjoys toys, bones, and relaxing in his crate, though he prefers to be by your side. He walks well on a leash but may pull or react when he sees other dogs. He’s played nicely with dogs before, but slow introductions work best. Max loves being with his person, whether he’s fetching a ball, getting belly rubs, or resting his head in your lap. Like most Aussies, he’s alert, aware of his surroundings, and may try to herd small children or animals. He’ll thrive in a home familiar with herding breeds and able to guide his energy in a positive way. Max needs a yard to run in or someone who is reasonably active to help him stay happy and balanced through walks, play, and mental stimulation. Adoption is $300 which includes his neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention.
