Story
Charlie is a 6 year old mixed breed dog that includes standard poodle, pit and, boxer. He is a kind, lovable, and loyal companion. He has short bursts of energy when outside running around the backyard but then is ready to lie down and chill out in the house. Charlie checks in with his person for guidance and reassurance and listens to basic commands such as, sit, stay, and leave it. Charlie is house broken and a very good boy. He is very intelligent and a fast learner. He is low to moderate energy level and tends to be a couch potato. He would do best with a confident, patient, and experienced dog parent(s). Charlie would do best in a calmer home as the only pet. He requires a fenced in yard within an hour of Toledo, Ohio. *If you do not meet the requirements listed for this dog, we are not obligated to respond to your application.

Story
Holly is a beautiful 1–2-year-old mixed-breed girl. She’s already been through more than any dog should. She was found abandoned at a landfill while pregnant, but despite her circumstances, she became an amazing mom to her puppies. Now that her babies are grown, it’s finally her turn to be spoiled! She is crate trained and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids. She also absolutely loves soaking up the sunshine and sunbathing outside. For this reason Holly requires a fenced (no electric) in yard within an hour of Toledo, Ohio. *If you do not meet the requirements listed for this dog, we are not obligated to respond to your application.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Topher was born April 6, 2026, he is mutt with a face that could probably get him out of just about anything. And honestly… he knows it. This handsome little guy is the definition of chill puppy vibes. He’s perfectly happy lounging around, hanging with his people, and soaking up all the attention. Of course, he’s still a puppy, so every now and then the puppy switch flips and you’ll get a short burst of playtime, a few zoomies, and some serious puppy silliness before he’s ready to go right back to relaxing. Topher believes cuddles and treats are essential components of a happy life, and he would very much like his forever people to agree with him. He’s been socialized with cats and dogs in his foster home and has been around children as young as 6. Like any young pup, Topher is still learning the important stuff, house manners, training, and how to become the Goodest Boy! He’s looking for a family who will continue helping him learn and grow while giving him plenty of love, patience, and opportunities to be the goofy puppy he is. Topher requires a fenced-in yard and an adopter within 1 hour of Toledo, Ohio. *If you do not meet the requirements listed for this dog, we are not obligated to respond to your application.

Chihuahua

Toledo, OH
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Bobbi—also known as Bob, Bob-Bob, Bobbi Jo, and the adorable “Bobbi Go-Go” (courtesy of a 4-year-old who couldn’t quite say the J sound) Bobbi is an approximately 13-year-old Chihuahua weighing in at a petite 11 pounds, and she would like everyone to know that age is just a number. Sure, she’s a senior—but she still has opinions, personality, and plenty of love left to give. Bobbi is a sweet little girl who needs a calm, quiet home where she can feel safe and settled. She can be fearful of new people and situations at first, so patience and understanding go a long way with her. Once she trusts you, though, she becomes a loyal little companion who just wants to be near her people. She would do best in an adult-only home without children. Bobbi gets along with other dogs just fine, but too much excitement can cause her to cough, so she would be happiest as the only dog in the home where life can stay peaceful and low-key. She does okay with cats and is respectful of calm feline friends. Bobbi’s greatest passion in life? Stuffies. She absolutely loves stuffed toys and takes her collection very seriously. She also enjoys going outside, gentle play, chewing on antlers, and any activity that might involve snacks. If food is involved, Bobbi is immediately interested. What Bobbi needs most is someone willing to let her move at her own pace and enjoy her golden years in comfort and peace. In return, you’ll get a tiny best friend with a tender heart, funny little quirks, and an undeniable love for the simple things in life. If your idea of happiness is sharing your home with a quiet little shadow carrying around a stuffed toy, Bobbi might just be your perfect match. Bobbi requires a fenced in yard within a hour of Toledo, Oh. *If you do not meet the requirements listed for this dog, we are not obligated to respond to your application.

Story
Hi my name is Jovie, I am a 7-year-old compact pitty. I like all sizes of people, other dogs and cats. I get excited when my foster mom gets my leash out because that means a car ride or walk! Either way, both make me very happy. However, I am happiest sitting in your lap or getting a good old fashioned belly rub! My foster mom says I am crate trained and follow directions well overall. If you are looking for a real chill four-legged friend I'm your girl! I would make a great addition to almost any home with a fenced in backyard within an hour of Toledo, Ohio. *If you do not meet the requirements listed for this dog, we are not obligated to respond to your application.
