Story
I adopted Rocco about 4 years ago. He has been a very good dog....for me and my oldest son. For some reason he has never gotten along with my wife but became worse when she was pregnant. She has since had our youngest and when my 2 year old comes by him sometime Rocco growls but has never bitten. This is much worse for my wife for some reason he really does not like her and growls and sometimes snaps at her. He has never bitten her but she is afraid to be by him and although I do not want to get rid of him because he is a great dog with me, I have to think of the mental and physical well being of my wife and youngest. I have tried and tried to do training, treets, anxiety meds but I feel the relationship him and my wife share is not fixable. Please help.

Story
Dixie is a sweet loving dog. She is 6 years old. She gets along well with people, kids and pets that she is familiar with. However, she is aggressive towards dogs that she is not familiar with. She has a slight lesion on her nose from Canine Lupus. But she does not seemed bothered by it and doesn't seem to need treatment. We live in a neighborhood with a lot of other small dogs, we do things to keep her from interacting with other dogs, but it is too risky for us. We hope we can find a good home where someone has an environment where she can be kept out of trouble. Hopefully someone in North East Ohio/North Ohio.

Story
Meet Honey, a sweet & sassy 5yr old Staffy with a huge heart and even bigger personality.Honey was rescued a few years ago but her previous owner could no longer keep her. I've stepped in to care for her temporarily, but sadly can't provide her a permanent home.Honey LOVES people and is very social & affectionate. She enjoys naps, sunbathing, cuddles, and staying close to her humans.At ~80lbs, Honey is a strong girl and can pull on the leash when excited. She can also be vocal when she wants something—her bark can be intimidating but she's truly a sweetheart.She would thrive in a home:with a patient, experienced dog owner comfortable handling larger breedswith a yard to run around & sunbatheideally without other dogs—she's not outwardly aggressive but has shown mild signs of discomfort/irritation around themShe is:House-trainedCrate-trainedUp to date on vaccinesNo known health issuesIf you're looking for a loyal BFF with a big personality & lots of love to give, Honey is your girl.

Story
Delmar is a 10 year old dog with the energy of a puppy. He loves long walks and car rides. He loves being outside and curling up on the couch with people. I adopted him 3 and a half years ago from a family friend who couldn’t care for him anymore but now I do not have the schedule for an active dog. I just want to find him a home that will keep up with his energy and love him as much as I do. He has been an only dog with me and I am unsure how he is with other dogs. I know that he has been around children and cats and has had no issues with either.

Story
Archie is such a loving boy. We have had him for 4 years since we rescued him as a pup. Archie went through a prisoner-training program at the APL shelter and is very well trained with commands. Sit. Stay. Lay Down. Come. Paw. He loves to cuddle and lounge outside in the sun. We have all documents since adoption including vet records vaccines etc. We love Archie so much and it will be so hard for us to part ways. The reason for our rehoming needs is because Archie has a food and toy aggression to our other dog. Please check out his handsome photos :)

Story
Howdy! My name is Blu! I am a Handsome , 10 year old bulldog mix . I am fully vetted and potty trained. I am not only smart but active & I love to go for walks, explore! I have alot of energy for my age so you will get your steps in for sure! I LOVE LOVE to just snuggle & am always ready to watch movies or share dinner ! I will chase a ball & will entertain you with my witty personality! I walk well on a leash, knows "sit" "stay" "wait" "back" and "down" "leave it". I wait to go out of the house and come back in. He loves to watch the world go by out the window. He needs a 6' fence so he can zoom. I love humans & I dont mind older children (over 15 )who are respectful. I definetely need a home committed to giving me exercise! I loves hiking, walking, & I sleep very well when worn out at the end of the day! PS I don love to nap in the sun too! I sometimes have anxiety if I do not get the daily exercise so please know I will settle in with an active lifestyle.. I even have my very own trainer to help me acclimate to my new home!!!——— Text for a meeting with Blu! 440.773.1707
