Story
Rowan is looking for a new home or foster home.This four year old, sweet three-legged chocolate lab mix was adopted 3.5 years ago when he was just a 6 month old puppy, and sadly he is now searching for a new family. We are hoping this next home will truly be his forever home.Rowan currently lives with children and does well, but at this time we would prefer a home with older children (10+). He is also living with cats. While he generally seems okay with them, he does chase at times. He recently went to the vet to get updated on his vetting and did very well there. He has also dog tested well.Despite only having three legs, Rowan gets around great and has so much love to give.If interested in adopting Rowan, please fill out an application found at www.allaboutthepawz.comLocated in Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour or so of Youngstown.

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.

Story
This sweet girl found herself terrified in an overcrowded county pound after having her whole world turned upside down. She had a home once, and now shes trying to figure out where she belongs again.Bo Catan just turned 1 on April 28th and weighs around 70-80 lbs. She's a rottie, lab, corso mix. Shes sweet, gentle, and curious about the world around her. It seems like so much is new to her, and she likely didnt get much socialization as a puppy. She can be timid at first, especially with men, but with patience, consistency, and a yummy snack, she starts to warm up and let her personality shine through. Once you've earned her trust, she's like velcro to your side.She is dog friendly and we would love to see her in a home with another dog friendly dog.Bo Catan has so much potential to become someones very best friend. She just needs time to decompress and feel safe again.If interested in fostering or adopting Bo Catan, please fill out an application found at www.allaboutthepawz.comLocated in Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour or so of Youngstown.
