Story
Meet Tallulah! Tallulah is about 4 months old and is very much a Rottweiler puppy in every sense of the word. She is busy, active, playful, curious, and currently thinks everything belongs in her mouth. If she can pick it up, she probably will. She loves to play, loves people, loves other dogs, and when she finally wears herself out, she is also very loving and cuddly. She can be a little shy at first when meeting new dogs, but she warms up pretty quickly and then is usually ready to play. Potty training is still a work in progress. Oof. She’s a baby, so whoever adopts her will need to keep working with her on that. She is also learning how to walk on a leash and is actually doing pretty well with it. Tallulah came to us from a high-volume breeder/puppy mill situation. She was either born with a spinal abnormality or suffered an injury very early in life. Her spine is crimped, but her spinal cord is intact. It does not cause her any pain. She just walks a little differently, and at this time we do not expect it to cause her major long-term issues. Tallulah is going to need a family who understands that puppies are work. She needs continued training, structure, patience, exercise, and a steady supply of things she is actually allowed to put in her mouth. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and on monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee is $350. Applicants must live within a one-hour driving distance of Cleveland, Ohio. A complete and approved application is required before an in-home meet and greet. Apply at onek9.net/apply. Apply to adopt on GetBuddy

Story
This is Katy, she is an eight year old pitbull that was pulled from the Lake County dog shelter when the temperature hit above 94 degrees. She joined our rescue and her tail hasnt stopped wagging! Katy loves other dogs and would make a great family dog. She went to an event and greeted everyone that came up to her. She loved men, women and kids of all ages. We do know that she would do best in a house without cats or other small creatures. Katy loves sitting with you watching TV but just be ready, she gets super excited if a dog comes on! She enjoys playing with toys and loves running around the yard. She would love a fenced yard but one is not required. Katy is up to date on vaccines, she is spayed and microchipped and also she is heart worm negative A completed application is required for a meet and greet.

Story
I came to the rescue from Kentucky with burns all over my back and legs. Nobody really knows what happened to me, but thanks to my foster families taking such good care of me, my burns are all healed up now. I love pretty much everybody I meet, but I especially love other dogs. I have not met any cats yet, so I can’t give you my official opinion on those. I’m also neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, have had bloodwork done AND they even tested my poop and didn’t find any worms living in there. Apparently this is important information when you’re trying to find a family. So basically I’m handsome, medically cleared, dog friendly AND willing to help with household chores , Wylde Apply at onek9.net/apply
