Story
We took him in about 4 years ago from a friend that had a litter. At the time we lived in the country. Unfortunately some stuff came up and we had to move to town. Now I've got no where to keep him. He is super sweet, and he has always been a good boy. We are sad to have to do this. But we have to let him go.

Meet Duke! Duke is a 4–5-year-old loving and affectionate boy looking for his forever home! He’s crate-trained, potty-trained, and takes treats like a true gentleman. Duke is incredibly smart and eager to please, making him a joy to have around. He is roughly 50 lbs and about knee height. With proper introductions, Duke is friendly with other dogs. His play style is rough and rowdy, but he responds well to commands when told it’s time to tone it down. Duke would thrive in a home with a submissive, tolerant dog companion or as the only dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention his people have to offer. Duke is neutered, up to date on all shots, and ready to become a cherished member of your family. His adoption fee is $300, which helps support Pawprints of Hope Rescue. Ready to meet Duke and give him the loving home he deserves? Let’s find this sweet, smart boy his perfect match!

Bailey

Female, Senior
Thornville, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bailey was about a year old when she was rescued from an unhealthy environment. She is now 8 yrs old. She loves to run outside and chase squirrels. In the house she is a good watch dog and will bark at any sounds she hears outside which is usually people walking past or someone who is in the driveway. She is not a picky eater and eats dry dog food. She is a gentle dog who loves to be petted and bushed. She likes to lay down near people. She has a great smile! I would love to see her have a home in the country or at least a fenced in yard where she has room to run and play with children.
