Story
This dog was originally adopted to be a calm companion for my wife, who is recovering from cancer. He only acted calm in the store where we bought him and now has far too much energy for her to handle. We have recently moved back to Ohio from Las Vegas and my wife is now requiring any spare time and attention I can afford for her care. Beast E. is a pure bred Jac Russel Terrier who is very good hearted, but exteremely energetic and in need of ALL of the attention. He was mostly house trained before we left Las Vegas, but has reverted since being in Ohio to being accident prone. My wife was recently in the hospital and, ideally, I would like to see him placed in a new home sooner rather than later. He is just over 1 year old at this point.

Story
We purchased this dog from a reputable breeder out of Athens, Ohio. The breeder bred mostly xl American bullies. I paid $4500. She is not aggressive, but you will need to watch the other dogs that are. She might get snappy. It’s rare. She is a very sweet girl. She will make the greatest pet probably for just about anybody that loves dogs, she loves to play and has lots of energy. She can also be lazy. Great with kids. Crate trained. I can provide food. I have to move somewhere that I cannot take her.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Cambria!     Cambria  is a very sweet, beautiful girl with very cool coloring and markings!  She loves squeaky toys and high-quality chew toys. She loves to cuddle next to you after she is done running around getting her energy out! She is a very active girl and will need plenty of exercise to meet her needs. She will need a little variety of toys to keep her busy and entertained.   We are guessing she is a boxer, lab, hound mix and our best guess is she will grow up to be a medium sized girl. Her mother was found as a stray and had eight puppies! They were all very lucky to get into rescue to all live their best lives now.   She is doing well with crate training and will sleep throughout the night. She is doing very well with potty training but will need a family with patience and consistency to continue her training. I am using the bell training method, and it is going well, but will need to be reinforced continuously with treats and positive reinforcement.   &#226&#128&#168She is an active girl and will need a lot of exercise, walks and park time. She will be the perfect adventure girl! She would love hiking and park time with her new family. She has already been to All Paws Doggie Daycare and The Wag and is a very social girl. She is AMAZING with any dog she meets!   She will need continued socializing and play time with other pups! She would LOVE doggie daycare to get structured play and play time. She does well with cats and is fostered with cats and kittens.   She is a VERY smart girl, and we HIGHLY encourage obedience/behavior training for all of our pups once adopted into their forever homes. She already knows the basic commands and I am working with her each day too! &#226&#128&#168&#226&#128&#168If you live an active lifestyle and are ready to bring this adorable girl into your home, she is ready for some meet and greets to meet her family!   ** Columbus area only. **   She is fully vetted and her adoption fee is $400   Please complete an adoption application today!

Story
Libra was born oct 5th 2023 he is a very good, he likes to play and be spoiled but don’t let him sleep on your bed because he would start to think it’s his bed and never want to sleep anywhere else, Libra like to get dressed up but don’t like to take off the close lol he is one of a kind. Libra wasn’t raised to be a mean dog even tho he’s a pitt he also never got until any fights…he never had a girlfriend but that’s what I think he needs sometimes because he think I’m his lol. Libra is a protector he like to sit but house door or room door. Libra never bit up shoes or wires only ate socks when he was little, he likes dog parks but being that he’s not fixed I had to stop taking him, he also love to bath. Libra has a allergic reaction to chicken…his favorite shampoo is from coat defense he also like when you put the powder on him from that company…Libra still needs some training but he knows what sit means he knows the word Go and No or come here, also know how to give you his paw.
