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 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. If you think you may be the right fit for this beautiful girl, we would love to hear from you.If interested in adopting Sequoia, please fill out an application found at www.allaboutthepawz.comLocated 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*

Story
When Ember first came to us, the world was a pretty scary place. But lately, this sweet girl has been showing us more and more of who she really is... and oh my goodness, she is an absolute LOVE.Ember wants nothing more than to melt right into your lap and soak up every bit of affection you’ll give her. She is incredibly sweet, snuggly and loving, and every day we’re seeing more glimpses of the happy, silly girl underneath those remaining nerves.Ember is still young, likely no older than a year, and she’s making amazing progress. She just needs a family who will continue helping her build confidence and show her how good life can be.Ember’s ideal home:- Another friendly, confident dog to help show her the ropes and continue building her confidence- A fenced-in yard preferred (we require this for most large/guardian breed dogs)- A family willing to give her a little patience and reassurance as she continues to adjust- And, most importantly, plenty of love and LOTS of snugglesThis girl has come such a long way already, and we have a feeling the best version of Ember is just beginning to emerge.Ready to help this little flower keep blooming?Foster or adopt Ember: www.allaboutthepawz.comYoungstown, Ohio — adopters/fosters should be within approximately an hour of the area.

Story
For nearly two years, Turbo has known nothing but life in a shelter environment. And lately, you can see it in his face that he seems sad, tired of waiting, and longing for somewhere to finally call home.We pulled Turbo hoping a change of scenery would help him get noticed, but sadly, he still waits.Turbo is around 4 years old, deaf, and appears dog friendly (a meet and greet is required with resident dogs). His deafness certainly doesn’t stop him from enjoying life. This big guy is full of personality, love, and is quickly becoming a volunteer favorite.And when we say big guy... we mean it. Turbo could benefit from losing a few pounds but we happen to love our chonky boys just the way they are! Because of his size, we feel he will do best in a home with older respectful children.He’s goofy, lovable, affectionate, and so deserving of finally knowing what it feels like to live in a home instead of growing older behind kennel doors.Two years is far too long. Please help us make sure there isn’t a third.Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour or so of Youngstown, OhioFoster or adoption applications can be submitted at www.allaboutthepawz.com

Sweet Olenna should be spending her senior years curled up on a comfy bed and not waiting in a shelter kennel.Estimated to be 7-9 years old and around 67 pounds, Olenna is a sweet senior girl who is desperately looking for a foster or forever home.Olenna may need ACL surgery in the near future, and if surgery becomes necessary, the shelter is no place for her to recover. We would love nothing more than to have a home lined up where she can rest, heal, and finally know the comfort she deserves.About Olenna:7-9 years oldApproximately 67 poundsDog friendlyKnows basic commandsKeeps her kennel cleanLooking for a foster OR adopterOlenna still has so much love to give.
