Meet Jake, one of eight adorable puppies searching for a forever family to call his own! 🐾 Jake is everything you’d hope for in a puppy—outgoing, playful, and full of tail-wagging enthusiasm. He loves exploring his surroundings, tumbling around with his siblings, and soaking up all the attention he can get. Whether he’s chasing a toy, learning something new, or curling up after a busy day of fun, Jake brings joy wherever he goes. Like most young pups, Jake will need basic puppy training, including house training, leash skills, and learning his basic commands. With patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement, he’s sure to grow into a loyal and well-mannered companion. Puppy classes would be a wonderful way to help him build confidence and bond with his new family.

Story
Contact at 330-439-2028 *Ms. Zuma loves to sleep in her spare time; Beware, as she does snore and tends to sleep so deeply that she will have body tremors. She prefers to be under the comforter in bed, but will settle for a seat on the couch close to you, while under a blanket of course. However, if desired she is trained to sleep in a kennel as well. *She’s been caught guarding food so she is used to being fed separate from other animals. *She wants to be a part of everything, rather the nosey neighbor, which has resulted in her getting into altercations with dogs that are dominant and/or Alpha, as they don’t take too kindly to her attempting to correct their behavior. Therefore, she would be best suited as the single dog of a home or with non-dominant/ non-Alpha dogs. *She loves children and has quite a bit of patience, as demonstrated while wearing various costumes. *Can be left alone approximately 6hrs before needing to go potty, unless water is limited, and can wait at least 9hrs

Story
Meet Kojack, a gentle giant Cane Corso with a heart as big as his frame! Weighing in at 90 pounds (and still filling out!), Kojack has come a long way. When he first arrived, he was missing most of his hair, but now his skin is healthy and his coat is growing back beautifully. This transformation reflects the care, love, and patience that define his personality. Kojack is sweet, well-mannered, and loves people. He’s comfortable around other dogs and enjoys his daily walks, strolling nicely on leash—though sometimes he forgets just how strong he is! Despite his size, he’s calm, affectionate, and eager to please. He is currently finishing treatment for Lyme disease, and with his health improving, he’s ready to find a forever home that can match his loving and loyal nature. Kojack would thrive in a home that understands large, strong dogs and can provide gentle guidance and plenty of companionship. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate, and resilient companion, Kojack is ready to meet you and steal your heart! *To ensure he is placed in a responsible home applicants will be hand picked - please schedule an appointment to come visit!*
