Oreo

Portuguese Water Dog

Beachwood, OH

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oreo came into our lives 7 months ago. We rescued him from a local shelter. He had been given up due to landlord rules. Oreo is the sweetest most loyal dog you will ever meet. He has incredibly kind energy that all dogs and kids are drawn to him, even with histories of being nervous around larger dogs. Our main reason for needing to rehome Oreo is because of our 4 year old son. Oreo is very attached to me and gets upset when my son tries to take my attention away. We've spent thousands of dollars on training and while things improved, the tension is too much for us right now. I wish we could re-home Oreo temporarily and take him in 2 years :( I think Oreo would do best in a home with older kids/adults. Younger kids are totally safe with him but he becomes nervous when they take attn away from his owners. I'm happy to answer any questions about Oreo. I am not rushing rehoming as I want to make sure he goes to a kind family. Whoever gets him will be lucky! He's a very sweet boy❤️

Prince

Rottweiler Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 4 yrs 10 mos

Lyndhurst, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Prince finds himself euth listed, due to a bite history. A bite that was absolutely caused by human error! He is great with other dogs, and was a super sweetheart when they had him out in the play yard. He came from an awful hoarding situation with 28 dogs, most of whom have been adopted out already. He knows basic commands, is about 4 years old, 95 lbs., and would make a perfect new family member with a strong adopter & a quiet home. We can only take him if we can find a foster. Once we find a committed, approved foster, he will be going to our trainer for an assessment. As always, all food, vetting, toys, treats, etc… is covered by our rescue, while under foster. Preference given to foster to adopt.

Story

Hello, my name is Evelyn and this my dog Grey (Bubba). Grey is 6 years old. I know he looks like an old man. Grey is a peculiar dog, he absolutely loves food, he loves playing and he enjoys training when it involves treats lol. Grey is also loving but sometimes a little to loving, but at least we know it's outta love. Grey loves long walks and just being outside in general. He is obedient but he also is hard headed. He feeds off your energy so if your rowdy he's rowdy but if your chill and calm he will be too. Grey is a great dog he's just gets a little too excited, Grey has a lot of allergies so we have to buy and cook his food and he also has allergies that requires medicine and on top of that he has slight stomach issues nothing inherently serious, but we believe is because he's getting older. With his food allergies and regular allergies plus the slight stomach issues taking care of him is starting to get expensive. We are looking for a loving home who will take him in.
