Story
Mountain puppiesHelen is an adorable all natural 5-month-old female Doberman mix puppy who is ready to find her forever family.  Life didn't get off to the best start for Helen and her littermates. They were removed from their home by authorities due to poor living conditions, and the local shelter knew these puppies needed the help of a rescue. Doberman Underground stepped in and give them the chance they deserve. Helen is thriving in her foster home.  She's everything you would expect from a happy Doberman puppy—playful, curious, affectionate, energetic and full of personality! She loves exploring the world around her, enjoys playing with other dogs, is cat friendly, and is ready to shower her future family with love. Dobermans are an intelligent, active working breed, and prior Doberman ownership experience is required. A canine companion in the home is ideal to help Helen continue building confidence and appropriate social skills. A physically fenced yard is preferred. While puppies are undeniably adorable, they are also a significant commitment. They require patience, consistency, training, and plenty of time to grow into well-balanced adult dogs. All adopters are required to engage with a professional trainer to help set both puppy and family up for success.  Spay/neuter contract required. Before applying, please carefully consider whether you're ready for the time, energy, and dedication required to raise a puppy, as well as the lifelong commitment of the next 10–12 years. If you're prepared for the adventure, Helen is ready to reward you with a lifetime of love, laughter, and loyal companionship.  Apply today at https://dudobes.org/adopt/application/ Doberman Underground adopts to Ohio and some close in counties of bordering states.  Be sure to check the complete list of the state and specific counties we adopt to at the top of the application. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  Sponsor Me by purchasing: Toys / Treats $10.00 USDLeash & Collar $15.00 USDMonth of Food $35.00 USDMonthly Heartworm/Flea/Tick $40.00 USDTransportation Costs $60.00 USDVaccinations $100.00 USDSpay / Neuter $150.00 USDThyroid Panel $150.00 USDIncoming vetting $300.00 USDHeartworm Treatment $1,500.00 USD  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2026, 9:13 am

Story
Introducing Beardsley!The spirited 5-year-old Shepherd mix weighing 65 lbs, with boundless energy and a heart as big as his goofy grin! Beardsley is ready to fill your home with laughter and love, bringing joy to everyone he meets. Outgoing and playful, he loves making new friends and showing off his fun-loving personality.Beardsley would do best living in a home that has plenty of space for him to roam indoors and maybe a fenced in backyard for him to run around in. If there are children in his forever home, Beardsley would do best with kids ages 10 and up due to his boundless energy. His affectionate nature and enthusiasm make him a wonderful playmate and family companion. Beardsley is nervous with new dogs and can take time to trust new canine friends. If he were to live in a home with another dog he would need very slow introductions and management to form a lasting bond. Because of his insecurity with other dogs, he would likely prefer to be the only dog in his forever home. He is very excited when he sees cats and small animals, so he needs a home with no other small animals to ensure a successful transition to a new home! Beardsley’s future home will be one filled with laughter, love, and plenty of adventures. With his goofy grin, spirited energy, and loyal heart, he’s sure to become the best adventure buddy you never knew you were missing.Ready to welcome the energy and enthusiasm of Beardsley into your life? Come meet him at the Humane Society of Summit County, 752 West Portage Trail, Akron, OH 44313, or call 330-487-0333 ext. 803 to learn more!

Story
Meet Carson! He is a 5 year old Shepherd mix who arrived in our care with severe skin issues and needing some extra TLC. Throughout treatment at HSSC, it has been determined that Carson has an autoimmune condition that affects his skin and requires steroids long-term to help manage his symptoms. His skin has been getting better each and every day, but as you can see from his handsome pictures, his nose is still irritated from the past. Carson is a sweet and affectionate boy who loves people and can`t wait to snuggle up with his favorite people. He is reactive with dogs, but has lived with dogs in the past and shows potential to live with a more laid-back dog in his forever home. While he shows potential to live with the right dog, he wouldn`t mind being the only king in the castle either. Since he is such a big boy, if there are kids in his forever home he would do best with kids ages 13 and older, but he would likely do well with younger visiting children. Carson does not show potential to live with cats in his forever home. Carson is seeking a special family that can help manage his medical condition and give him the happy and healthy life that he deserves! If you give Carson a chance, he is sure to show you what a wonderful pup he is. If Carson looks like the perfect pup for you, give us a call to learn more or stop in today to meet him!

Story
Meet Oreo! Oreo is a sweet, affectionate, energetic, and playful Shepherd mix who is around 8 months old and weighs about 57 pounds. This fun-loving girl is looking for a forever home that’s ready to give her all the love, attention, playtime, and adventures she needs!Like many young, energetic pups, Oreo can sometimes become overstimulated when things around her feel overwhelming. Because of this, we’re looking for a home with children ages 13 and older who are comfortable with her energy level and can help her have the space and guidance she needs to settle when things get a little too exciting.Oreo also shows potential to live with another dog and would likely enjoy having a canine companion who matches her playful style. As always, we strongly encourage a slow and thoughtful introduction to any potential doggy sibling to help set everyone up for success.We’re currently unsure how Oreo feels about cats, so her compatibility with feline friends is unknown at this time.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate young pup who is ready to fill your life with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love, Oreo may be the girl for you! Come meet this sweet girl and see if you could be the forever family she’s been waiting for. Stop in today at The Humane Society of Summit County to meet her!

Story
This adorable 1.5-year-old, 40-pound Shepherd mix is a bundle of energy, personality, and love! Pickles is smart, goofy, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure. Pickles needs an ACTIVE home! She loves running, hiking, playing fetch, and being part of the action. She absolutely loves other dogs, but any canine sibling needs to be equally playful, energetic, and tolerant of a young pup who loves to wrestle and play! When she’s done burning off that puppy energy, Pickles is a total sweetheart who loves cuddles and being close to her people. She’s crate trained, housebroken with a consistent schedule, and eager to please. Pickles tested positive for previous Lyme (ehrlichia) exposure but has no symptoms and is doing great! Pickles has spent months in boarding and training, and she deserves a home of her own! We’re looking for an active foster or forever family who can give this sweet girl the love, exercise, and attention she’s been waiting for. Adoption is $300 which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention.

Story
Please contact Sheri (sswank1@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  Buck is almost 3 years old, is DNA tested, and guess what!?! He is exactly 50% GSD and 50% Great Pyrenees. What a fun combo for a dog! He gets super excited when he sees me getting my tennis shoes on, or my ball cap because he knows it means we're going hiking. He's 100 pounds of lean handsomeness. LOL. He does well as a couch potato and is calm in the house on a normal quiet day. He is house trained, crate trained and does well with other non dominant dogs. He loves playing fetch with any ball, and if you don't have time to play, Buck plays by himself. I'm looking for a home without young children because Buck does have herding/guarding tendencies. Buck is looking for someone who loves the big boys, and can handle them. Bucks adoption fee is $200, and includes all up to date vaccines, neuter, microchip, flea and heartworm preventative, and endless love and appreciation from BUCK! Please fill out our non-obligatory application at pawsandprayers.org if you would like to adopt him!! Please email sswank1@gmail.com with any questions. This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans November 4, 2026, 5:35 pm
