Story
Holmes is a 4 year old male Sheepadoodle. He is a great dog. He is very dominant, and our older dog has become afraid of him. He would do best in a home with no other animals. He likes to bark at joggers and big trucks. He loves to play and cuddle. He needs groomed every couple of months.

Story
Nugget is about 10 months - 1yr old. He got dropped off outside of my workplace about 5-6 months ago. He's a very social and loveable dog. He loves people and other dogs. He's a licker and loves to lick. We believe he might have separation anxiety as he likes to be near people at all times. He needs more training in leash walks as we typically let him free roam our yard. He's gotten really big (50+ lbs) since we brought him home and can be a bit difficult when walking as he does not like leashes. He knows some basic commands and is trained to go outside for the bathroom. We have started adjusting him out of the crate at night time. He needs to go to a home that can provide him with tons of attention and can designate the time to training him.

Story
He is a young pup, He knows how to go outside to potty, basic commands. Loves to cuddle up with you, he does get along with my female pitte, just not the male. He has been with me since February 2026 due to keeping him for my niece but she never found a home. I have two dogs already plus taking care of an elderly parent so the job of another dog is getting to be a bit much for us. I want to give him a loving home where he can run freely and not be confined in a shelter or here at our home. Please help him!

Lucca

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, Young
Trenton, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lucca came to us two years ago after we adopted her.....she was saved from the side of the hills of KY along with 35 other dogs after the owner had passed away. She is house broken, walks beautifully on leash and is overall a good dog. She barks at delivery people. Likes to cuddle and is very loyal. Lucca has anxiety with people and loud noises (gunshots, fireworks, thunder, etc.). On advice of our vet, we have had her on Prozac since May 2026 and it has helped immensely. She is not food driven and is not easily bribed with treats. She has been excellent with the big dogs her size in daycare/boarding, but has had territorial issues with our small, older female bulldog. This mostly happens if Lucca feels cornered or trapped in a small space. However, she plays with our son's dog with minimal issues. She gets crated on occasion, but we leave her out while we are gone most of the time. We are looking to rehome her because we are nervous with how she will be with our new grandchild.

Story
Nakia is a very friendly and sweet girl. She’s 3 years old and was found in the woods over a year ago. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, but with our busy schedules, her grooming has become more difficult to maintain. She’s playful and has been around cats, but would prefer dogs or an active owner.
