Story
Cosmo is about 1 year and 9 months old. He loves people and cuddles. He's amazing with kids (has lived with a 5 and 11 yr old for the past year). He's loves a good chewy toy and treats. He knows commands like sit, stay, give paw and roll. He likes to jump when he first meets someone, but just to hug. We originally got him from a shelter last summer. He is definitely a people person but doesn't seem to do so well around other dogs. Unfortunately have not socialized him with other animal's so at this point I would not recommend him to a family with other animals unless your very good with training. Overall he is a very loyal and loving Dog with lots of puppy left in him. His kennel, training collar with remote, and all extra belongings would be included.

We are accepting applications for this sweet girl. She was a pull from Memphis Animal Services. When she came to us she weighed 26lbs & was a confiscate welfare case. She now weighs 54 lbs, and is doing wonderfully. She is completely house trained, and is the perfect house guest. She is up to date on vetting and is chipped and spayed. She is extremely sweet, despite all of the horrors that she endured before coming into our rescue.

Story
Meet Brooklyn! She came to us as an owner surrender. This beautiful girl is about 1.5-2 years old, fully house trained, weighs about 55lbs, utd on vaccines & vetting, spayed, and absolutely loves people of all sizes. Her current foster family says that she is the perfect house guest. She is a super wiggle butt & has quite a bit of energy. She is dog reactive, so we are looking for a home with no other dogs. She is heart worm negative.

Story
Meet Dozer!! Believe me he is a bulldozer of looooove!! He is available for foster to adopt. He is a happy wiggle butt!! He is up to date on vaccines, but not neutered yet, he has his neuter appointment set up though. He is also heartworm positive & is going through treatment. If you foster him, once he is through his heartworm treatment & gets neutered, you can officially adopt him. In the meantime, our rescue pays for all food, vet appointments, and all other necessities. You provide the love, care & transportation to vet appointments.

Story
Capone came to us on Monday, August 14th, 2023. He was found in Chicago last week, taken to the shelter, nobody came looking for him, so the finder brought him home to Cleveland, Ohio. He visited our veterinarian on Wednesday. It is hard to tell what originally happened to his skin, but he was given a course of antibiotics, and his skin is all healed up. The best guess is something hot, or a chemical was poured on him. What we do know is that he will NEVER have to endure anything like that ever again!! He is fully vetted & utd on all vaccines. He iwas a little underweight when he came to us, at 38lbs. He is just about at the goal weight of 45lbs. now. He is about 2 years old. He is very treat motivated, and knows some basic commands. He is fully house trained, and is good with dogs. He is chipped, neutered & ready for his furevers! If you are interested in this handsome guy, with the softest fut that you have ever felt, please let us know.

Story
See more adoptable puppies at h2erescue.org! Hi my name is Sweetie. I am an 8 week old spayed female Goldendoodle. My mom is a Golden Retriever and my dad is a Standard Poodle. Yes I came from a wanna be breeder. I am up to date on my shots and ready to go home. Please go to our personal website at, h2erescue.org and fill out an application under my profile "I'm Interested". Our adoption fee is $526. This is used to cover vet care, vaccinations, food etc. We are a rescue group, not a shelter and we foster these animals at our home. Since we are a rescue, we can not guarantee the size or the breed of the dog. After approval, we will meet you at our Adoption Center. We currently have two locations. Our primary address is 3616 Williams Lake Rd, New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663. We sometimes hold Adoption events at 4173 Mayfield Rd, South Euclid, Ohio 44121, like other rescues do at a pet store. At this time we are only able to do adoptions in our home base, 3616 Williams Lake Rd. New Philadelphia, OH 44663. Please Google the address first before you fill out the application, to make sure you can make the drive to us. Remember we show by appointment ONLY.
