Pack your bags and pitch a tent! Meet Griffin, the ultimate happy camper who is ready to find his forever campsite! 🌲⛺ Griffin is the perfect blend of a seasoned trailblazer and a loyal companion. He grew up in a loving home since puppyhood, but a change in family circumstances means he is looking for a new park to patrol. He is currently being fostered by his favorite counselors at Camp Bow Wow Strongsville, so he is already an expert at the camping lifestyle! 🎒 The Camper Stats Age: 6 years old (Born 5/29/2020) Weight: 115 lbs of pure, strong Chocolate Lab muscle Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retriever Gear Preference: Loves squeaky balls and durable Tuffy brand toys 🌲 Outdoor Scouting Skills Campsite Security: High energy at times and naturally protective of his home. Water Activities: Loves the beach but only wades in chest-high—no swimming for this boy! Wildlife Watch: Extremely high drive to chase squirrels and outside objects. Campsite Requirement: A securely fenced yard is an absolute must for his outdoor adventures. ⛺ Cabin Manners & Personality Shadow Companion: Follows his people everywhere and thrives on human affection. Smart & Stubborn: Incredibly intelligent, though he likes to do things on his own schedule sometimes. Structure Seeker: He thrives when he has a routine and clear boundaries. House Trained: Both crate trained and housebroken (though expect transitional accidents!). 🧼 Grooming & Maintenance Spa Day Enthusiast: He absolutely enjoys baths and is great with ear and paw cleanings. Paw-dicure Rules: Does not like his nails cut, so he visits the vet for his sedated trims. Important Trail Note: Griffin is a very large, powerful boy. He needs an experienced handler who can physically manage a 115 lb dog on walks and during playtime. He has never been tested around cats. "In the woods of life, a loyal dog is the best guide you can find." If you have the perfect fenced yard and are strong enough to lead this big, sweet bear on his next great adventure, fill out an application today!

🧁 SWEET TREAT ALERT: MEET SPRINKLES! 🧁 Looking for the sweetest addition? Meet Sprinkles, our 8-week-old female Husky-Dalmatian mix! She is a freshly baked bundle of joy looking for her forever bakery (home). Sprinkles' mom is husky Tasha who is also a TRI dogs. Yes, we know that the father dog was a dalmatian as Sprinkles was an owner surrender to us. 🐾 The Recipe for Sprinkles Sprinkles is a unique breed blend: The Frosting (Husky): She inherits intelligence, a striking gaze, and a beautifully thick coat. Expect a pup who loves the outdoors and might even "talk" to you when she wants a treat! The Sprinkles (Dalmatian): She brings loyalty, a sleek athletic build, and a playful, high-energy spirit. She is born to run, play, and protect her favorite humans. The Mix: As a medium-to-large adult, she will need plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement training to help her become the best dog she can be 🎀Energy Level: High—she is always in a "sugar rush" mood for playtime! Coat: Adorable unique markings that look just like candy toppings. Temperament: Affectionate, curious, and exceptionally brave. 🏡 The Perfect Bakery (Ideal Home) Sprinkles needs an active family ready to invest time in puppy training, socialization, and lots of outdoor adventures. A fenced-in yard is highly recommended so she can burn off her youthful energy.

Meet Spice: The Sweetest Pup in the Bakery! 🧁 Our literal "sugar and spice" puppy is almost ready to leave the kitchen! Born on May 25, 2026, little Spice is currently cooking up to perfection at The Rescue Inn. He will be ready to head to his forever home as soon as he turns 8 weeks old after July 20, 2026. 👩‍🍳 The Secret Recipe Spice is a custom blend of two incredible breeds, making him a beautiful, unique "Husky-mation": Mom: Tasha, a gentle, 40 lb red and white Alaskan Husky.

Social Batch: He is currently being raised alongside his siblings and other dogs, making him well-socialized and eager to learn. Chef's Note: Because of his active heritage, Spice will need plenty of mental stimulation, puppy playtime, and daily exercise to keep him from getting into mischief! 📋 Puppy Adoption Ingredients Adopting a puppy is a lifelong commitment. To ensure Spice rises into the best dog he can be, his adoptive family should be prepared for: Puppy Training: Spice will need help learning crate training, housebreaking, and basic commands. Socialization: Continued exposure to new people, dogs, environments, and sounds is key for his development. Ready to add a little Spice to your recipe for happiness?

Hannah still needs a home! She's our diamond in the fluff! 💎✨ Are you looking for a professional napper with a heart of gold? Hannah is an 11-year-young Border Collie mix who proves that age is just a number and she's put her "curvy" lifestyle in the past! Currently weighing in at about 50 lbs. When she first came to TRI, she was 67 lbs. Hannah went on a dedicated fitness journey and got back to her svelte self. But don’t let the diet fool you—she’s got plenty of "spunk" left in her step! Why Hannah is the ultimate roommate: Expert Snoozer: Her favorite hobby is sleeping upside down on the couch. High-level gymnastics? No, just Hannah at nap time. 🤸‍♀️💤 Social Butterfly: She absolutely adores people. Cuddle Bug: She’s a world-class snuggler and currently spends her nights tucked up with her foster mom. 🐕❤️ Hannah found herself looking for a new chapter after her previous owner moved into assisted living. She’s handled the transition with total grace and is ready to bring her soulful eyes and goofy upside-down smiles to a forever home. If you have a couch, a heart for seniors, and a commitment to her "less kibble, more cuddles" plan, Hannah is waiting for you!
