Story
Welcome to Wally’s World! This beautiful boy is 35 lbs, 1-2 yrs old, and believed to be a Kelpie/Terrier mix. It is unknown why he ended up in the Morrow Country Shelter in July. He spent time in the Prison Training Program before entering his current foster home in October. Wally was a very easy introduction into the home. He is house trained, crate trained, knows some commands, and is very submissive. He may have been abused in his past. Wally will need a way to burn his young dog energy with regular exercise and playtime. He loves to run and play and is excellent with other dogs. He has not been cat tested but his personality does not seem aggressive. He does like to use his teeth to nip/grab at clothing when he is excited so children should be older. Wally sleeps like an angel in his crate overnight, but is also a wonderful cuddle bug on the couch. He loves doing what his human is doing and also what the other dogs are doing. Please consider if Wally might be right for your world! If you would like to meet Wally, our first step is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. He is fully vetted and just $150 to adopt. To meet this gorgeous boy our first step to adopt is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. Save Ohio Strays does not have a shelter.

Story
Meet Toothpick! Good things come in small packages, and Toothpick is proof! This adorable 10-year-old Chihuahua mix is a happy-go-lucky little lovebug with a constantly wagging tail and a serious talent for cuddling. He loves people of all ages, enjoys walks with his favorite humans, gets along with dogs big and small, and politely ignores cats. He’s crate-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and would fit happily into just about any home! Toothpick is neutered, vaccinated, and recently had his teeth cleaned. He’s still working on his potty manners, including marking, so he’ll need a patient person willing to give him a little grace as he learns. All this sweet senior wants is a loving lap, a few adventures, and someone to call his own. Could Toothpick be your perfect little companion? His adoption fee is $50 fully vetted.

Story
Sweet Smokey Joe Is just chilling while he waits for his forever home. He is a handsome 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd/ Pitbull mix. At about 50 lbs, he is the perfect dog for homes looking for a loyal walking buddy who will spend endless hours watching the world go by. Smokey knows commands like Sit, Wait, Down, Paw, Leave it, and Come. He is crate-trained, housebroken, and great on a leash! Smokey can play hard so his ideal home would be maybe a fenced yard and no smaller kids or pets. As you can see, Smokey STRONGLY supports napping. He is a great mix of playful, loving, loyal, and eager to please. To meet Smokey, our first step is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. He is fully vetted and just $150 to adopt.

Story
Frieda was adopted from a reputable shelter in Akron, OH at 2 months of age. We have had her about 3.5 months. She is one of the nicest and loving dogs I’ve ever met. She rarely ever barks - she just likes people too much! We have never had any problems with our toddler and her other than Frieda would very much like to lay on everyone’s lap. We have a nice fenced in yard, which Frieda will use, but mostly she wants to be social. Frieda is also great with our 2 cats - although she does want to snuggle with them. We are learning how to use a leash and getting better!She’s now almost 6 months and still a loving dog. Ideally we would like somewhere with a lot of people (adults and kids) to interact with her, as she is so into attention and pets and cuddles. She likes to go on walks and plays fetch often. Really she is a great dog. We home she goes to a home where she can get more exercise and play than we can currently provide. Frieda will be a welcome addition to any fun-loving home

Story
Ruby is a sweet, smart, high-energy Yorkshire Terrier puppy with lots of personality. She loves following me around, playing at my feet and chewing on her toys. She is still learning to settle and needs someone who has time for an active puppy.The only reason I am rehoming Ruby is my busy life. I do not have help with her care, and she ends up spending 15–20 hours a day in her playpen. That is not fair to her. She deserves more time, attention and opportunities to play.Ruby is not fully house-trained and needs consistent, patient training for chewing, jumping, barking and puppy nipping. She also gets carsick and is not spayed.I will be very selective about where Ruby goes. I am looking for a loving home prepared for her energy and committed to her training and care. There is no deadline. Finding the right home for her matters most. Her rehome fee is $1,000. She will come with a 10 pound bag of food, a pen, crate, toys and bed.
