Story
Max is a 1 year old medium mixed breed who is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. If you sit down, he will be in your lap. If you lay down, he will curl up right beside you. He truly thrives on being close to his people and bonds quickly. He has a very loyal, velcro-dog personality and just wants to be near you. He is crate trained, great with kids, and great with other dogs. He has not been around cats. Max has playful energy and loves to roam and explore, so a securely fenced yard or very secure outdoor setup is a must. He needs space to safely run and stretch his legs, followed by plenty of cuddle time indoors. He is not neutered. This is a difficult decision due to unexpected financial strain, and our goal is to find him a safe, loving, stable home where he will be cherished.

Story
Boris was adopted in northen Ohio from a breeder. He was born November 19, 2022. Boris is in great physical shape as he is very active and loves running; especially when a ball is being thrown. He absolutely loves playing fetch. One of his favorite pastimes is sitting atop his stool and watching out the window as cars and people pass by. He would definitely prefer a new home with the ability to be active and free. He is cuddly, loving, excitable, and mostly obedient. He is a man of habit with a bed time and will walk into his crate about 8pm and sleep until daylight the next day.

Nyla will be a year old on April 27th. She love to be outside, play fetch, play tug of war, and she’s energetic. So a home with a decent sized yard would be amazing for her. She also loves to cuddle up next to you under a blanket. She loves belly rubs and butt scratches. She is sweet and just loves to be around people and get attention

Story
From the moment I found her on the side of the road, it was clear she had the sweetest soul. She is an incredibly loving girl who adores cuddling on the couch, playing with her toys, and giving plenty of kisses. She has a gentle, affectionate personality and is happiest when she is close to her people. She would thrive in a home with attentive pet parents who can give her lots of love and attention. A fenced-in yard where she can safely run and play would be ideal. While she gets along with some dogs, she would do best as the only pet in the home so she can soak up all the love and attention. She is a loyal, sweet companion who will make a wonderful addition to a caring home.

Story
🐾 Meet Tid Bit. This bashful boy is a gentle soul who’s still learning how to navigate the big, busy world. Shy by nature, Tid Bit blossoms best in the company of calm, easygoing dogs who help him feel safe and supported. He’s currently on a training plan to build confidence and learn new skills, and he’s making steady progress with patience and consistency. Tid Bit isn’t the kind of dog who rushes into the spotlight—he’s the quiet companion who will reward your kindness with trust and loyalty once he knows you’re his person. Because of his special behavioral needs, he’ll thrive in a home that understands the value of slow introductions, gentle encouragement, and a calm environment. With the right match, Tid Bit has the potential to grow into a devoted friend who shows that even the shyest hearts can shine.
