Story
Beau is fostered in Mentor Oh and his adoption fee/donation is 150 Hi there, my name is B0-Bo, and I am a 12-13 yr old cocker spaniel boy. We are just guestimating his age per our vet, because we don’t know his history. He was originally found as a stray, so we can only do our best at telling his correct number in years. One thing we do know, is that he was not properly cared for most of his life. His ear canals are hardened, and closed up from such horrific infection. Our vet worked on his ears for months to finally get them free of infection. He is completely DEAF from the un-treated ear infections. He actually would do best if he could get the TECA surgery, however we have already spent thousands to get him cleared up. The cost of surgery for both ears is $5,000, and we tried to raise the funds to get it done, however we were unable to do it. We were able to get $1500 raised, and used it to treat the ears for the months it took to get them cleared. The problem with not getting the TECA surgery (REMOVING HIS EAR CANALS) done is that with closed canals, his infections can easily come back, and will continue to do so in the future. We are currently flushing his ears daily with Liquid Health K9 ear cleansing solution, and so far, he is still infection free, but we have to be very consistent with daily flushing. BoBo is such a happy go lucky dog, he lives for his ball, and will wear out your arm from throwing it to him all day if you let him. He is affectionate and loving, and enjoys spending time with his person. BoBo is also on thyroid medication, he was very overweight when we took him in, and found out he is hypo-thyroid. A few months on the meds and he lost all the excess weight. We would LOVE to find a retirement home for this boy, he is so good, and deserves to be loved and cared for. BoBo is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, as well as heartworm negative. If you would like to adopt Beau or would like more information on him, please fill out an adoption application We do not have a shelter, all rescues are in foster homes - Dogs are not shown without first being approved to adopt.

Story
Great dog, energetic and loving! Ruby is 8 on Christmas Eve, but you’d never know it. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get all the attention and love she deserves with our schedules. One of us work 40 hours a week, the other 50+ hours a week, on top of ubering our kids and an upcoming surgery. We just want her to have a good life and be loved. Loves swimming, fetch and car rides. With two of us working full time, she needs a home she can get the attention she deserves.

Story
This is Katy, she is an eight year old pitbull that was pulled from the Lake County dog shelter when the temperature hit above 94 degrees. She joined our rescue and her tail hasnt stopped wagging! Katy loves other dogs and would make a great family dog. She went to an event and greeted everyone that came up to her. She loved men, women and kids of all ages. We do know that she would do best in a house without cats or other small creatures. Katy loves sitting with you watching TV but just be ready, she gets super excited if a dog comes on! She enjoys playing with toys and loves running around the yard. She would love a fenced yard but one is not required. Katy is up to date on vaccines, she is spayed and microchipped and also she is heart worm negative A completed application is required for a meet and greet.

Story
I came to the rescue from Kentucky with burns all over my back and legs. Nobody really knows what happened to me, but thanks to my foster families taking such good care of me, my burns are all healed up now. I love pretty much everybody I meet, but I especially love other dogs. I have not met any cats yet, so I can’t give you my official opinion on those. I’m also neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, have had bloodwork done AND they even tested my poop and didn’t find any worms living in there. Apparently this is important information when you’re trying to find a family. So basically I’m handsome, medically cleared, dog friendly AND willing to help with household chores , Wylde Apply at onek9.net/apply
