Story
Ursa is a 5-year-old female Great Pyrenees weighing approximately 80 pounds. She is spayed and has been part of our family since we brought her home from a breeder as a puppy. She was the runt of her litter and didn't pass her livestock guardian evaluation, but has been a wonderful family companion. Ursa is gentle, friendly, and great with children, other dogs, and cats. She has a confident, alpha-female personality and would likely do best with a more easygoing dog rather than another dominant personality. She loves walks, spending time outdoors, and chasing squirrels and other critters. Ideally, her new home would have a large, securely fenced yard where she can run and explore. My wife and I are planning to relocate and unfortunately cannot bring her with us. We're flexible on timing and want to find a responsible, loving family who will give her the care and attention she deserves.

Story
Abby is approximately 4 years old. Abby loves to go on walks and ride in the car! She has been raised with children. She is not a fan of cats, especially outdoor cats, an indoor cat she will tolerate, although she is a little obsessed over them. She is fine with other dogs. She would love someone that s able to walk her. Or a fenced yard and someone willing to throw a ball. She loves to walk and run! Abby enjoys a shower and her nails trimmed with a Dremel. I have been doing her grooming since she was a pup. Peanut butter is her favorite 😂 She will do anything for peanut butter! Rehoming mainly because of life changing circumstance….. she is a good girl and the best housebroken dog I have ever had. She would die before she would go potty in the house. I am just no longer able to keep her. 💔

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..

🐾💙 Meet Tots! 💙🐾 🎾 A ball-chasing, people-loving, cuddle-craving good boy! 🎾 🐶 Tots is a 29-pound Pit mix, born 03/13/26, who has already been through more than any puppy should. He and his brother were left together in a crate on the streets of Cleveland, but thankfully, their story didn't end there. ❤️ 💕 A Few Things to Know About Tots: 🐶 Good with dogs 👧 Good with kids 🐱 Good with cats 🚽 Potty trained 🏡 Crate trained — he may voice his displeasure when he can't be right beside his people, but don't worry… he settles down quickly! 😂 🧠 Knows sit and no 🎾 LOVES to play fetch and will happily chase a ball until he's ready for a cuddle break! 🥰 Total people pleaser who wants nothing more than to be near his humans 🧠 Super smart and a quick learner 🐾 Loves to play, but once the zoomies are over, he's perfectly happy curling up beside you for a cozy nap. 💤❤️ 💙 Tots can be a little sensitive to quick movements and loud noises or voices, which can make him cringe. He's learning that the world can be a safe and happy place, and his sweet, trusting nature shines through with patience and reassurance. 🥹 ✨ Tots is the whole package—playful, smart, affectionate, and eager to please. He'll play ball with you, learn whatever you're willing to teach him, and then happily snuggle up for a nap by your side. 🎾❤️ Fetch, cuddles, and a forever family… Tots thinks that sounds like a pretty perfect life! 🐾 DOB: 03/13/2026 Adoption Fee: $500 MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm.

Story
💔🐾 Meet Sonic & Loki — Two Senior Hearts Who Deserve to Go Home Together 🐾💔 Sometimes, life changes in ways our dogs simply don’t understand. And sometimes, after giving their humans years of unconditional love, they find themselves wondering where their family went. That is the story of Sonic and Loki. 🐾 Sonic — 12-year-old Catahoula Mix 🐾 Loki — 10-year-old Jack Russell Mix ❤️ Adopted many years ago and have spent their lives together 🏠 Their family’s circumstances changed after their mom and dad divorced ✈️ Dad moved to South Carolina, where Sonic and Loki enjoyed a new chapter of life 🌴 They traveled, went on adventures, and even enjoyed trips to the beach! 🏖️ 💔 Unfortunately, circumstances eventually landed them in a shelter 🚗 Now they have found themselves back in Ohio with MBR, hoping for a second chance 🐶 Great with other dogs 👧 Great with children 🐱 Cats are currently unknown 🏡 Potty trained 🐶🐶 They have each other—and that matters tremendously 🤝 For only the second time in MBR history, we are asking that two dogs be adopted together 🛏️ Sonic has some crate aversion and relies on Loki to help him feel safe ❤️ Loki is Sonic's comfort, security, and familiar friend 🥺 At 12 and 10 years old, they should not have to start over alone 🌅 These boys have already shared a lifetime of memories—we want them to have their forever chapter together Sonic and Loki have already experienced more change than any dog should have to endure. They had a family. They had a home. They had adventures, car rides, trips to the beach, and the comfort of knowing where they belonged. Then life changed. And somehow, through all of those changes, they still have each other. 💔❤️ For Sonic, Loki isn't simply another dog. Loki is his security blanket. When Sonic is unsure or uncomfortable, he looks to Loki to help him feel safe. After losing so much familiar comfort, we cannot imagine asking him to lose Loki, too. That is why MBR is making an incredibly rare request. 🐾 For only the second time in MBR history, we are asking for these two dogs to be adopted together. 🐾 They don't need a perfect home. They don't need someone looking for puppies or endless adventures. They simply need someone who will look at two senior dogs who have already given so much of their lives to their humans and say: "You don't have to lose each other. You're home now." 🏡❤️ Sonic and Loki have spent years loving their family. They deserve to spend their remaining years together, surrounded by love, comfort, and the security of finally knowing they aren't going anywhere. If you have room in your heart—and your home—for two very special senior boys, please consider giving Sonic and Loki the forever they have been waiting for. 🥺🐾❤️ Age: Loki 10 years Sonic 12 years Adoption Fee: $400 for both $200 each MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm.
