Story
Harley and her mother were abandoned with a friend of my aunt who couldn't take care of them long term. We took Harley not understanding how active she would be. We have two other dogs that she gets along with well. However, she needs a more active household. She is very loving and cuddly. She likes to jump, climb and chew. She does not like to share her toys.

Has issues with anxiety and meeting new people and has nipped before. I dont have the time to train him properly or get him trained and he deserves to go to a home where he can either be trained properly or isn't dealing with a lot of new people.

Story
We bought Winnie when she was a puppy. She will be 5 years old in June. Winnie has been a great dog but she is very high energy and loves to play. With 2 small children, we are no longer able to give her the attention she needs and deserves. She loves to play fetch and be around people. She is very loving and wants to be with her people but she does not know her size and accidentally overwhelms our small children. She plays well with other dogs and has never been a concern around our kids except for her over excitement to be near them and accidentally knocking them down. We would love for her to get a new home that will be able to spend the time to play with her and give her the attention she deserves. We do keep her groomed every few months as she does shed and her fur gets pretty long if not maintained.

Story
🎄✨ Meet King – Our Little Christmas Eve Miracle! ✨🎄 King is a handsome male medium to large breed with a heart just as big as his puppy paws! Born on Christmas Eve 2025 to his sweet mama, Honey, he truly is a special holiday blessing. 🎁🐾 This sweet boy is growing into such a loving, playful pup. King is puppy pad trained and doing wonderfully! He is great with other dogs and does well with kids, making him a perfect addition to a family ready for puppy snuggles, playtime, and lots of love. 💙 King is up to date on all of his shots and will be neutered around six months of age. His neuter will be covered by the rescue at Auglaize Animal Hospital in Wapakoneta, so his future family can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. Full of personality, sweetness, and that Christmas magic he was born with, King is ready to grow, love, and create a lifetime of memories with a family of his very own. 🎄🏡💕

Story
💔 Meet Lucy — the little dog who still believes in love. 🐾 Lucy was found tied to a tree, her body showing she’d just had puppies. She’s estimated around 2 years old and still very much a puppy at heart, full of joy, curiosity, and hope. We believe Lucy was kept in a basement or garage before she was rescued. Because of that, she’s still learning her house manners, but she’s catching on quickly with consistency and patience. She’s such a smart, eager girl who just wants to make you proud. She is an absolute lover and snuggles up like a nice heated blanket 🐾 Lucy loves her chew toys — she keeps one in every room like little treasures she’s collected now that she finally has a safe place to call home. 🧸 She adores other dogs and will play with them all day long, and she’d love to be friends with cats too (though her excitement can be a bit much for some). After all she’s survived, Lucy deserves a family who will give her the love and security she’s been missing. She’s ready for her second chance — could it be with you? 💕
