Story
Luna is a 6-year-old black Lab–Dachshund mix and an absolute cuddle bug. She’s incredibly loving and thrives on affection. Her only challenge is anxiety around unfamiliar dogs. She has had three past incidents involving other dogs, which we believe stem from being attacked by a German Shepherd as a puppy. That said, Luna does very well with dogs she knows and has never shown any aggression toward our other dog. She is excellent with children and has never displayed even the slightest aggression toward people. At this stage in our lives, with the demands of caring for our children, we’re no longer able to give our dogs the time and attention they deserve.

Story
We are new grandparents, and we find ourselves babysitting more than expected, and caring for Daisy has become problematic. She is a good tempered dog, but we tried rehousing her to another home to keep a companion dog company, but Daisy isn’t good with other dogs. She will use a doggy door to go outside for her business, but without a doggie door, she can hit her pee pad about 80% of the time. She is older, but loves to cuddle and just be by your side. If she has a fenced backyard, she will be good to go. She doesn’t dig or chew.

Story
Izzy was born October 12, 2025. She loves to cuddle and also loves playing fetch. A golf ball is her current favorite out in the yard. She likes going on walks, but hates when it’s windy. She lays down and makes a funny face when it’s super windy. She brings us joy. We have 4 kids, 4 different sports, two full time working parents, and limited time. We want to give her more time but just don’t have it. She does well being house trained but still has accidents here and there if left unattended and wanders. She is so cute and gets compliments everywhere we go. My goal would be to find a loving home that she can flourish and be so happy. This absolutely breaks my momma heart. Message me for more questions if you have them!

Caesar

Bull Terrier

Male, Senior
Canton, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Caesar is an 8-year-old Bull Terrier/Pitbull mix with the heart and energy of a puppy. I’ve had him since he was a puppy, and he’s grown into a loyal, affectionate companion. He’s fully potty trained, goes outside on a schedule, and is up to date on all shots. Caesar loves routine—especially coming inside, sitting by the door, and giving his paw until he gets his treat! He always wants to hold your hand and be close, making him a true lover. He eats well on his own and loves his toys, especially new ones. He is a strong dog, so he needs someone comfortable handling him on walks. He’s been great with people and kids 10+, but I’m unsure about younger children. He hasn’t lived with cats and tends to chase small animals, so a cat-free home is best. Due to moving, I can’t take him. I’m looking for a loving home where he’ll get the attention he deserves. 💛

Story
9 month old neutered Beabull. Merle patterned face with beautiful green eyes. Full of puppy energy and wants to be your shadow. Beabulls slow down as they age, with about a hour of playtime but content to rest most of the day.Gino would thrive in a home where the primary caregiver is home all day, but he does wonderful in his crate for shorter periods. He’s loving, fun, and a textbook beabull with no behavioral issues. He wants to be as close as possible to those he loves. He has been around plenty of adults and children, but could use more socialization around other animals.He’s easy to train and knows sit, stay, lay down, come, and leave it. He’s stubborn and doesn’t like to listen to commands that require him to respect personal space but he gets better with that every day. He is not trained on a leash.We paid $900 for him, plus neutering and vaccinations. The breeder was someone from a loving family home, and we love him, so honestly, he is just the best boy!
