Story
I got Roxie at 8 weeks ok she grew up with me in college. She is an amazing dog and it breaks my heart having to part with her because she’s a great dog. But with my living situation and career path I just can’t exercise her as much as she needs. She is extremely smart and well behaved. She does amazing with other dogs but has shown signs of aggression over food only with dogs. She will come with her crate and her food bowl. She’s the most loving dog I’ve ever had and I just want her to have a life that I can not give her and I know someone else can.

Story
Meet Kevin (male) and Karen (female). They were adopted from Northeast Ohio SPCA in February 2025 at 10ish weeks old. They are litter mates from Georgia. They have had all of their shots and check ups. They were spayed and neutered in July 2025. Due to our family size and extra curricular activities, we have failed to be there for them and provide the proper care and maintenance that they deserve. They are not house broken and spend most of their day outside enjoying the summer air. They are great around kids and have never shown aggression towards humans. They are great around some dogs but tend to “pack” so other dogs have found it overwhelming. Would like to rehome together as they are bonded
