Story
We resecued Zeek 3 months ago from his original home where he was left to roam the neighborhood and was picked up by the dog pound. My daughter sent a Me a picture a Zeke. And I fell in love with him right away. He was very sick when I first got him, ear infections , worms and got him caught up on all shots. We have a huge fenced in yard.. my husband and I are both retired and thought we would make the perfect home. What we didn’t realize was his size brought a very strong dog. He is well behaved, but we are older and fragile and Zeke needs a family.

Story
Huckleberry waborn on June 27, 2021 to our two heelers. He has grown up with us--around my 5 kids and our 2 other dogs. He is an EXCELLENT fetching dog. LOVES chasing a stick or ball. Also loves hiking. He is a typical red heeler with some anxiety and jumpiness, so physical activity a must. He is 57 lbs and a tall heeler,very fit. Neutered. UTD vaccines, inc. rabies. He does not like being around his dad Boone. We cannot rehome Boone due to his health issues. Huck has only ever been aggressive to Boone, and is fine around his humans, his mama Oakley and our male 5-year-old doodle. He has NEVER shown aggression toward any human inside or outside of our home. He has not been around cats. Huck is currently staying in the back yard, but weather is getting colder. It is a pretty desperate situation, because I do NOT want to place him in a shelter. Please message or call for more info on Huck. His adoption is time-sens. Experienced heeler owner only. No other dogs in home. Emily Valdivia

Tilly

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, Adult
Dayton, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tilly is a very special girl. I adopted her from Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota 3 years ago. She is a semi-feral reservation dog but has the absolute sweetest disposition of any dog I’ve ever owned. However, quickly after adopting her I realized she needs to be in a home as a solo dog. She needs to have 100% attention and although she tolerates our other dog she would be happier alone and with a lot of room to run. She needs a lot more exercise than I can provide for her as well. She is very loving and friendly but gets anxious not having enough exercise. I decided to longterm foster until I could truly find her a home that suits her best. I would love to see her be able to find a forever home where she can give all her love, be loved and just have room to run. She is semi-feral so someone who has experience with dogs and possibly feral dogs would be the best suited adopter for Tilly and for this reason I have listed her as special needs.

Mutt

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Yuma’s journey hasn’t been an easy one, but her heart is as big as ever. We first rescued her after discovering she had been tied up between two houses for nearly 48 hours. Despite her difficult start, Yuma has shown us nothing but love and she is incredibly cuddly, sweet-natured, and eager to be close to people. While we loved our time with her, but our family and lifestyle have changed so much that we can no longer give her the freedom, attention, and daily care she truly deserves. Yuma thrives on affection and would flourish in a home where she can stretch her legs, enjoy more adventures, and receive the consistent love and playtime she loves. She is ready for her forever family and unfortunately that’s not us. We hope home her new family can match her loyal spirit and give her the safe, loving home she deserves. 💛

Story
Potato is a 6-year-old Goldendoodle we’ve had since he was a puppy. He’s house trained, neutered, and up to date on all of his shots. Potato is a high-energy dog who loves attention, affection, and spending time with his people. He's very curious and loves to be involved in your day to day. He does best with a predictable, steady routine. Does have mild anxiety at times. He would thrive with someone who understands goldendoodles, and can give him the time, structure, and activity he deserves.
