Story
Meet Josie- a gentle soul ready for her forever home. After surviving a tough past—living outdoors with 13 dogs and losing her home to a fire—she’s now healthy, happy, and craving stability. Josie is a 9-year-old Rottweiler mix who weighs 70 lbs and ready for a calm, loving retirement home. Josie is loyal and affectionate, especially with women—she’s attached to her foster mom like Velcro! She prefers a quiet home without small pets or young kids. With proper introductions, she does well with medium to large dogs. The ideal home would be a low-key, non-active household where Josie can relax and feel safe. She enjoys short, slow walks and peaceful days. After months in foster care, she’s even starting to play with toys! Josie has excellent house manners and never jumps on people. She was heartworm positive when we rescued her, but at her age, the traditional treatment would be too tough on her as they are painful and distressing for the poor dog. SOS has chosen to do the slow kill method with her and we will provide a LIFETIME of medication for her. This might scare some people off but this sweet girl has been through so much and she’s ready for a peaceful, loving home. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will stick by your side like Velcro, Josie is your girl! She is spayed, housebroken and crate trained. Her adoption fee is $50 fully vetted, and we will provide a lifetime of heartworm medication for her to continue to keep the disease at bay. Save Ohio Strays does not have a shelter. Our dogs are integrated into their foster homes who can tell you all about them to make the transition into your home informative and supportive. Our first step to adopt is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. Save Ohio Strays does NOT claim or guarantee any breeds given in this description. These are best guess descriptions for breed. SOS NEVER ships pets and will not adopt out to a driving radius greater than 3 hours from Medina, Ohio.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Kevin (male) and Karen (female). They were adopted from Northeast Ohio SPCA in February 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. 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.

Story
Maxine is 8 months old and we have had her from birth. She is a loving and sweet pup. She is pictured here with her daddy. He is a cane Corso Rottweiler mix. Her mom is a pitbull. We have both of the parents and they are very well behaved. She is used to car rides, walks and going out in public. The dogs are very friendly and playful. They all have done well around children. She has been an indoor/outdoor pet and is used to a very large yard. Given her size, she is best suited for an experienced dog owner. Our top priority is finding her a forever home where she will be loved, Maxine will love you back! Serious inquiries only please.

Jane

Pit Bull Terrier Shar Pei

Female, 4 yrs
Seville, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Poor Jane came to us in need of an emergency surgery. She had a pyometra, which for those who don’t know, is an infection of the uterus that can happen in females who are not spayed. It is fatal if an emergency spay is not performed to remove the infection. It took her some time, but sweet Jane has finally made her recovery and is ready for her next adventure. She has discovered a passion for chasing balls around in the play yard……. and biting trees for some reason. She was attacked by 2 other dogs in the past, so she has a lot of reservations around other dogs and is said to be reactive with them. Since she has been here, we have not had any issues, but a home without other dogs may be ideal for her. However, it may not be out of the question if there are multiple meet and greets and slow introductions. We are not sure how she does with cats or children. She loves to give kisses though! Jane has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)

Story
Poor Beef Cake was found abandoned in a park. Someone kind saw him and brought him to the dog shelter. It was noted on his intake paperwork that he was limping. After he was transferred to us, we took him to get x-rays which revealed a serious fracture in his femur. He had to have a surgery to put in pins and plates so the bone could properly heal. He was so sweet and gentle through the entire process, even through all the discomfort. Beef Cake has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)
