Story
This is incredibly hard for me to write. Bamm is my big, loving teddy bear — a beautiful male German Rottweiler with the sweetest heart. Due to ongoing health issues, I can no longer give him the time and physical care he deserves. This decision has nothing to do with him — he is a wonderful dog — but everything to do with wanting the very best life for him. Bamm does well with children, cats, and other dogs. He is affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to his people. I am looking for a responsible, loving home that understands the breed and will treat him like family. He deserves nothing less.

Story
With eyes as golden as her name, Honey is a gentle soul who’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can truly feel safe and loved. Originally found as a stray, Honey has known the uncertainty of life on her own—but through it all, she’s remained respectful, thoughtful, and quietly affectionate.Honey spent a few months in a home where she got along well with a younger male dog, but struggled to bond with a dominant female dog. She’s shown she can be a wonderful companion with the right match and would likely do best as the only dog or with a calm, respectful canine friend. Honey has also shown some resource guarding around food, but she’s incredibly polite and will sit and wait patiently when asked—she just prefers her meals in peace and her space respected.Because of her sensitivity and desire for a low-stress environment, Honey is looking for a home without young children. She thrives in quiet moments, loves being outdoors, and walks beautifully on a leash. She already knows several commands, is muzzle trained, and is eager to please the people she trusts.Honey may not be the dog who leaps into your lap right away—but give her time, and you’ll discover a deeply loyal friend with a heart as golden as her eyes. She’s sweet, soulful, and so ready to find her forever.If you believe in second chances and the quiet magic of earning a dog’s trust, Honey will reward you with a love that’s deep, steady, and absolutely priceless.More information?

Story
At 3:30 in the morning, when the world was quiet and the temperature had dropped to 20 degrees, Anna was left behind. Dumped in our parking lot alongside her senior sister, Elsa. No goodbye. No explanation. Just two older girls standing in the cold, waiting for someone who never came back.Anna is a senior dog who has clearly known love before. She didn’t arrive angry or aggressive—she arrived confused. Gentle. Clinging closely to Elsa, the only familiar thing she had left. They stayed pressed together for warmth, comfort, and safety, because when everything else was taken from them, they still had each other.Despite what they endured, Anna is incredibly sweet. She seeks out attention with soft eyes and quiet hope, leaning in for affection like she’s afraid it might disappear. She doesn’t ask for much—just a warm place, a gentle hand, and the chance to spend her days beside her sister, where she feels safe.Anna and Elsa are bonded and must stay together. They have already lost everything once. We won’t let them lose each other too.Senior dogs are so often overlooked, but Anna has so much love left to give. She deserves comfort, dignity, and peace—not another cold night wondering why she wasn’t enough.More information? Call Marion Area Humane Society at 740-389-6548 or email at manager@mahspets.org
