Story
Ralph may be a senior guy estimated to be 10-12 years old (don’t tell him that), but he still struts through the yard like he owns the place! This sweet Velcro pup is 40-50 pounds, loves being outside, soaking up head scratches, riding in the car, and stopping for an ice cream date with his favorite humans. His orthopedic bed is one of his prized possessions, right up there with spending time beside his people.Ralph does have some age related quirks. His hearing and eyesight aren’t what they used to be. He has to wear belly bands due to accidents and he may occasionally lose his balance, but he still enjoys life to the fullest. Since he only has a few teeth left, he’ll need soft food and treats (which honestly just means extra spoiled). His mouth will also need a recheck in about a year.Around other animals, Ralph is dog and cat friendly! Ralph can get a little grumbly over food and treats, but he has never acted on it. He just appreciates having his snacks respected like the distinguished gentleman he is.What Ralph truly wants is simple: a loving home, comfy naps, belly rubs, fresh air, and humans to adore where he can spend however much time he has leftIf you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Ralph is ready to be your best friend.If interested in adopting Ralph, please fill out an application found at www.allaboutthepawz.comLocated in Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour or so of Youngstown.

This beautiful three year old Cane Corso weighs approximately 100 pounds and is everything many people love about the breed. Loyal, affectionate, and devoted to her people.She enjoys attention, loves being with her family, and doesn't take long to warm up to new people. She does not mind getting her nails clipped or a bath which speaks to her temperament. She was also favorite at her previous shelter which says a lot about what a beautiful soul she isAlthough we have not observed these behaviors yet in our care, Sequoia's previous owners reported some resource guarding behaviors in the home. They reported that she had displayed resource guarding in the home involving the unaltered male Cane Corso she lived with and a young child.Because of her size, breed traits, and reported history, we are looking for an adult only home with no other pets that understands large guardian breeds and is committed to providing structure, supervision, and appropriate management. As with any newly adopted dog, we recommend allowing her time to decompress and learn the expectations of her new home.LoyalLovingReady for a fresh startWe also provide training to any approved adopters.

Story
Keller spent three long years waiting at Animal Charity before making his way to All About The Pawz Dog Rescue. Three years of being overlooked… and we are so hopeful that this fresh start will finally be his turning point. Keller is deaf but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. He navigates the world with his heart, his eyes, and an incredible ability to connect. He watches you closely, learns your cues, and bonds in the most intentional, beautiful way. There’s something truly special about the way he trusts. He’s around 6 years old and, if you ask us, 100% perfect. Keller loves everyone he meets and is dog friendly (meet required). He enjoys walks, playtime, and the absolute best zoomies in the play yard. It’s impossible not to smile watching him run full speed with pure joy. Older kids only at this time please. After three years of waiting, Keller deserves more than a kennel. He deserves a couch, a yard, a routine, and someone who sees just how amazing he is. If interested in fostering or adopting Keller, please fill out an application found at www.allaboutthepawz.com Located in Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour or so of Youngstown. *we do not respond to inquires or matches, please fill out an application and we will reach out via email once received*
