Meet Bear! This fun-loving boy is full of energy, personality, and plenty of love to give. Bear is always ready for an adventure and absolutely loves playing with all kinds of toys. He is also very treat motivated, which makes learning new tricks and skills extra fun!Bear has shown friendly and playful behaviors when meeting other dogs.

Story
Meet Athena! Athena is a bright, energetic girl ready to find a home that understands her playful spirit and respects her boundaries.

Athena would prefer a home without cats.Athena responds best to kindness and positive reinforcement.

With the right balance of structure, understanding, and love, Athena is sure to be a fun, loyal companion who will make every day a little brighter.Athena`s adoption generously sponsored in partnership with Sheldon Wendel at Taylor Hyundai in Perrysburg!Stop by and meet her today!
