Wednesday

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Norwood, OH
Size

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She is house-trained, knows a few basic commands, and is generally a good dog. She does get nervous around guests and unfamiliar people and has some behavioral issues that I believe stem from severe anxiety. They may be a work in progress, but aren’t we all! Unfortunately, due to changes in my circumstances, I no longer have the time she deserves, and I am planning to move to a location that does not allow pets. Because of this, I feel it is in Wednesday’s best interest to find a home that can provide her with the attention and stability she needs

Story
BONDED PAIR WITH LENNY (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/45655305-cincinnati-ohio-mastiff-mix)! Luther is a very sweet black lab mix. We got him in Chicago in 2014 from a shelter. Luther is fully potty trained and friendly with other dogs and kids. He has anxious tendencies including barking when scared (doorbells, generally scared of men, and pulling on the leash). When he’s in his safe place he’s very chill and cuddly and he is extremely food motivated and smart, picking up on tricks and words fast. Since we've had our 2 kids it has been hard for us to give him the attention he deserves and needs. We really love him but do believe he deserves a family that can give him more love and focused attention. We hope someone will absolutely love on this good boy for us because he means so much to us! We'd love to keep him with his little (but larger) brother, Lenny who is also listed on adoptapet.

Story
BONDED PAIR WITH LUTHER (https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/37838939-cincinnati-ohio-labrador-retriever-mix). Lenny is a very sweet "gentle giant" who loves a good lean to show you he loves you. We love our Lenny so much, but since we had our 2 kids we have not been able to give our pups the attention they deserve. Lenny is a big guy and is slightly blind, so walks slowly and takes a while to get the lay of the land. He's a big couch potato otherwise, and loves to get pets and snuggles. Lenny is great with other dogs and kids, but does tend to be shy with other dogs and given we adopted him from SPCA, has some anxiety before he feels comfortable. Because he is shyer and more timid, we'd love to keep Lenny with his older brother, Luther (also listed on adoptapet), so please consider if you can take both pups home to a loving home!

Story
WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 💛 Meet Lola - Your Blue-eyed Beauty Best Friend💛 If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be completely adored… Lola would like to show you. This 3-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix is 65 pounds of love, loyalty, and “good girl energy” wrapped up in one absolutely gorgeous bright blue-eyed package. And the best part? She already comes with manners! Sit, down, wait—she knows her basics and is always eager to show off (especially if there’s praise or snacks involved… or both… preferably both). Lola walks beautifully on a leash, gets along great with other dogs and even cats, and has the kind of personality that just makes life easier—and a whole lot happier. But let’s talk about her signature move. When Lola wants a little extra love (or maybe just one more treat… or five), she gently lifts her paw and holds it up like, “Excuse me… yes… I’ll take more of that, please.” And just like that—you’re done for. Completely charmed. No chance of saying no. Lola is incredibly loving and thrives on being close to her people. She’s the kind of dog who will happily follow you from room to room, just to make sure you’re not missing her. (Spoiler: you are.) She’s got just the right mix of calm and playful—ready for a walk or an outing, but also more than happy to settle in and soak up all the love you’re willing to give. Apply today at haydudeequine.org if you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate best friend who will make you laugh, melt your heart, and politely demand “more please” with her adorable paw… Lola is your girl 💕

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our app can be found at haydudeequine.org 🐾 👑 Meet Sir Henry! 🐾 Greetings, loyal subjects! My name is Sir Henry, and while I may only be 4 months old, I already carry myself like royalty. Don't worry though—I'm the fun kind of prince, not the stuffy kind. I'm a social, outgoing puppy who believes everyone is a friend I just haven't met yet. People, dogs, adventures—sign me up! I love making new friends and am always ready to join in on whatever fun is happening. My mom is a Beagle/Heeler mix, and we think my dad was a Carolina Dog, which means I inherited the perfect blend of brains, athleticism, and good looks. I'm curious about the world, eager to learn, and always on the lookout for my next great adventure. One thing you should know about me: I absolutely LOVE water. Kiddie pool? Amazing. Water bowl splashes? Fantastic. Puddles? The greatest invention of all time. If it involves getting my paws wet, I'm all in. I'm wonderful with other dogs and would love a canine sibling to play with, but I'd also be happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only royal companion. Sir Henry's Royal Resume: 👑 4 months old 👑 Male 👑 Social and outgoing 👑 Great with other dogs 👑 Loves water 👑 Smart, curious, and playful 👑 Ready for a lifetime of adventures If you're looking for a puppy who will keep you laughing, keep you active, and happily accompany you on every adventure, Sir Henry is ready to claim his throne in your heart.
