Story
Tito is a 3 year old purebred, fawnequin Great Dane who we got as a puppy. She is very sweet and affectionate and also intelligent and stubborn. We have 3 young children and several other children have recently moved to our neighborhood so there is a ton of “energy” in and around our house. Tito wants nothing more than to protect her kids so all of this activity and running and squealing has been difficult for her to handle and we think she would thrive in a much more laid back home where she can be the center of attention.

Story
I got Luna when she was a puppy at about 10 weeks old. She was rescued with her mom on the side of a highway. She is very high energy and loves to be the center of attention. She is a dog that will lay with you and loves to play wrestle. The reason for the rehoming is because I just had a daughter and she is just too much for her. She is currently living in a garage away from us and is not getting the attention she deserves. She can be weary around new people. She has snapped at people but has never bitten anyone. I do not recommend having other dogs or smaller kids. She is very smart and can be trained to fit your household needs.

Rufus is a handsome young pup with enough energy to power an entire neighborhood. This boy is all enthusiasm, all the time — and he’ll happily melt into your arms the moment you give him attention.He’s strong, spirited, and still learning how to handle all that puppy power, so he’ll need a confident arm on the leash and a home that can give him structure, routine, and plenty of outlets for his zoomies. With the right guidance, Rufus will absolutely thrive — he wants to learn, he just needs someone to show him the ropes.Give him love, consistency, and a good routine, and Rufus will become the fun, loyal, affectionate companion you’ve been searching for. 🐾❤️Give us a call at (740) 314-5583 for more information!ADOPTION APPLICATION:All adoption applications are completed at the shelter unless otherwise noted.FOSTER APPLICATION:Want to be a hero for a homeless animal in need?
