Story
We are looking for a new home for our black lab, Bear. Bear is nearly one and a half and has a whole lot of energy! He is fixed and is up to date on all vaccinations. Bear is definitely still in his puppy stage, but is crate trained and potty trained. Looking for someone that is able to give him the attention he deserves. We took him in from a family member and unfortunately, we cannot keep him due to our son being scared of dogs. Bear is great with kids, but would strive in a home with older kids or no kids due to the amount of energy he has. Bear is such a great dog and listens well…we just hope to find him a loving home.

Story
Gordon is a wonderful dog that fell into my lap in 2020. I’m friends with a vet who told me that a couple had rescued a pregnant golden retriever from her previous owner who had passed, and the puppies needed a home. I jumped at the chance and he has been with me when my boys were 1 and 2 and with the birth of my 2 daughters. Gordon is an F1 doodle, so half golden retriever, half standard poodle. Unfortunately, my middle son and my youngest daughter both have asthma and have an allergy to dogs, so we must sadly part ways with our dear Gordon.Gordon is the best dog with kids and loves to cuddle and eat the food off the ground that they drop. He’s very very loyal and is house trained. He does bark, hates cats, and has to warm up to other dogs, but he will lay and chill with you for hours on end happily. I’m hoping to find a home for Gordon that has a fenced in yard, he loves to run. He is not kennel trained, and you’d have to be ready to lock up your garbage can, haha.

Story
We adopted Charley back in September 2022 through Paw Patrol. He’s around 10-12 years old now, which he was a rescue from Kentucky and brought to Dayton. Charley has boundless needs for affection, and needs a home with never ending snuggles and a comfy couch! He is a vocal fellow when you egg him on to sing with you, and an excellent companion in the back seat of a car. He enjoys running in a big open yard with plenty of space, but mainly lounges on a comfy cushion. He responds well to other household animals (cats and dogs), but gets very excited and vocal around new faces. If you’re looking for a sitting buddy through his senior years, Charley is the dog for you!
