Story
Hello, Tori is a great dog, I got her about 5 years ago from a client of mine who had 2 purebred American pitbulls! She is a big teddy bear, excellent with kids and family. She does not like dogs she has not been around for a while! I go overseas a lot and travel for work and this time I have to be gone for quite a while! She needs a consistent provider, I feel bad always boarding her

Story
Ogden is a sweet, affectionate, and loyal 5-year-old pit bull who adores people — especially kids! He’s a total love bug who enjoys cuddles, kisses, car rides, and hiking adventures. He’s crate-trained, fully potty-trained, and will make an amazing companion for someone who has time, space, and love to give. I’m a single mom who recently had to sell my house and move into an apartment. It breaks my heart, but I know Ogden deserves more space and attention than I can give right now. He’s happiest with room to play and explore — ideally a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and thrive. • Lives peacefully with a cat and a small dog (a wiener dog) • Gets overly excited when seeing new dogs on walks — he sometimes isn’t sure if he wants to play or protect, so he’ll need a patient owner willing to continue working on his social skills It truly breaks our hearts to say goodbye, but we know Ogden deserves the best life possible — Please take a chance on this sweet cuddle bug.

Story
We've had Aya for almost 6 years and she's been amazing. She is a chill, playful, smart mutt (terrier, corgi, beagle, etc.) who loves her owners, but doesn’t get along with most other dogs (especially other female dogs. Some male dogs will be her best friend and she'll want to play all day, but we haven't quite figured out why certain male dogs make the cut and others get a warning). We're looking to rehome her because we're having a baby and Aya has a history of snapping at people (never at the two of us, and not at *all* other humans, but we don't know exactly what triggers her and we don't want to take that risk with a baby). She would be the PERFECT pet for someone who's looking for a loving companion and great walking buddy. She has energy when you want her to, but also loves to chill out at home. We hope to find her an environment that's as stress-free for her as possible! Aya loves to play fetch, break sticks, and play tug. Low maintenance and loving to her owners.

Story
I found Harley on a very cold day at a freeway ramp with a panhandling woman. When I stopped to give blankets, she said dog was abandoned I took him in my home, he was so traumatized, fearful of people. After a couple of days, I found he wasn't chipped, but a very good dog, no chewing, housebroken, begging for affection. He is crate trained,,will go in when I tell him I have to go to work. He is ready to go in for sleep about 7pm . I let him out iof crate in early morning, about 3 or 4 to stretch, and early morning cuddles, the about 6am, we go out for walk and pee before I go to work. He loves children at morning bus stop, loves to chase his ball, and my cat, thinks he's a lap dog.. He will sit when I ask him to when people approach, when waiting for elevator. I cannot keep him because I have to move out of my apartment not wanting dogs and he I am too old to walk him and train him further. My neuropathy in feetlimits my ability to walk him.

Dayton, OH
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I did get Sierra from a breeder when she was 8 weeks old. I had no intention of ever rehoming her however I have not been able to find employment since November 2024 and I will be moving in with my son actually the end of next week. I’ve been trying since October of last to rehome her with no luck. She is a very loving dog, loves to fetch, enjoys being outside, is crate, trained, treat, responsive, and as many of the goofy things that great Danes do. I am desperate to find her a loving family. She has not been spayed and I have not been able to get the funds together to do so so I am concerned she will go into a heat cycle, which makes her not as friendly with other dogs. Normally, she does fine with them, however. Will provide more information. Should you be interested.
