Ripley

American Pit Bull Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, 4 yrs

Lorain, OH

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Before her rescue, Ripley was a devoted mom to a litter of puppies. Now, it’s finally her turn to be pampered and spoiled. She loves people and greets everyone with tail wags and enthusiasm—sometimes a little too much excitement, but with some gentle reminders, she’s quick to learn. Ripley is a spirited, high-energy 3-year-old who’s ready to find a forever home that matches her zest for life! This athletic girl lives for movement—she loves to run, play, and will gleefully destroy any toy that crosses her path. She’s fantastic with other dogs and adores children, making her a great match for an active family with kids or playful pups. Ripley thrives in a home that’s always on the go—whether it’s hikes, runs, or backyard zoomies, she’s all in. A quiet, laid-back lifestyle just isn’t her thing; she’s looking for a household that’s as energetic as she is. Ripley is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands like “sit.” She’s also super smart and very treat-motivated, so training is a breeze with the right snacks and consistency. Important note: Ripley cannot be in a home with cats or small animals. She has a strong prey drive and takes her “squirrel patrol” duties very seriously—your yard will be rodent-free! If your home is filled with energy, love, and adventure, Ripley just might be your perfect match. Ready to make her part of your pack? ##2223382##

Story

I got Missy from a family who had to find a home for her due to eviction. She turned 6 November 1st. I am looking for a home that has a fenced in yard where she can run and play. She is very friendly and loyal. Please see below for more information. I am 74years old and live in Lorain Ohio. I need to rehome my 6 year old vizslador due to declining health issues. I am not able to care for her the way she needs to be. Her name is Missy. She is completely housebroken and has been spayed. She needs her shots updated which I can no longer afford. She does not like being alone or caged and has separation anxiety. She gets along with everyone including children. She does not do well with cats, but does get along with some dogs. She needs a home with yard where she can run and play. She has no health issues that I am aware of. She has been scratching which might be fleas, but I have not seen any on her. However, I am still treating her for fleas.

Jaxx

Rottweiler

Avon, OH

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

Story

Hi, I’m Jaxx 💙 I’m almost 7 years old, and if I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would be loyal. I listen well, I love deeply, and I’ll never turn down a good game of fetch. In fact, my favorite thing in the whole world is my ball—I’ll happily chase it for as long as you’ll throw it, and then I’ll carry it proudly in my mouth like it’s my baby. Life hasn’t always been easy for me. I was rescued once already, and now, because of circumstances beyond my control, I’m searching for a forever home again. My family is heartbroken—they call me part of their family, but housing changes mean I can’t stay with them. They just want me to be safe, happy, and loved. Here’s what you should know about me: 🐾 I adore kids of all ages—I’ve grown up alongside them and I’m gentle and patient. 🐾 I prefer women and children, but I can warm up to men with time and kindness. 🐾 I’m well-behaved, crate trained, and sleep peacefully on my dog bed. 🐾 I’m leash-trained (though sometimes I get excited and pull a little). 🐾 I love people—neighbors say I’m wonderfully behaved. If I could design the perfect day, it would be running in an open field, chasing my ball, and getting a few tasty treats before curling up for cuddles with my family. I’m not looking for much—just someone who will love me, play ball with me, and promise I won’t ever have to lose my home again. Could that someone be you?

Kash

Rottweiler

Male, 1 yr 11 mos

Avon, OH

Size

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

Details

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

Story

am not for the first time Rotti owner. I need an experienced handler who can give me structure, fair rule enforcement, plenty of exercise as well as teaching me that I need to relax and remain calm. My current foster says in the right hands I am going to prosper and turn into an amazing dog and family pet. My biggest problem is that as a puppy no one spent time to teach me how to be a good boy. Once I learn the rules you patiently teach me, I am positive I will be your favorite member of the family. The rescue will only consider someone who has Rottweiler experience, works from home and is physically active to give me structured exercise. If you think that you are my person please apply at www.REALRottweilerRescue.com

Story

I’m Misha 💕 If you are looking for a female Rottweiler with a friendly, playful, affectionate and completely sweet personality look no further. I think I’m around 2 years old but I might be younger? The shelter is not the best at guessing ages and I’m a dog I have no idea how old I am I spayed and up to date on all my shots! I have the most adorable nub tail, that is wagging more often than not I have a lot of energy so I’m looking for an active family! I would enjoy having a fur sibling cause I love other dogs. Cats are kinda unknown, if you want to bring your cat over to my foster house to give it a try, let me know… it could go either way I’m a gentle girl who will wait and sit for my treats! 🦴 I am even potty trained 🚽 I’m pretty great! And Even though I have energy, and to be fair any dog my age does I still love to relax and cuddle with you humans I’ve been practicing my daily affirmation since I left the shelter: I am grateful for the small joys in my life. I am strong and capable, I am worthy of love and respect, and I am grateful for this life I have since being rescued! If I can give and receive this much love in my foster home, I can’t wait to see my forever home! I really hope to meet you soon
