Story
Myra’s story is one of incredible resilience — but what truly defines her is the joyful, loving dog she has become. When Myra first came to us, she had clearly been through more than any dog should experience. Despite that rough start, her spirit never broke. Instead, she showed us just how strong, forgiving, and full of life she truly is. Today, Myra is thriving and embracing everything that comes with finally being able to live like a dog should. Myra is a Doberman / Shepherd mix — the perfect blend of two amazing breeds - with a sprinkle of Golden Retriever for extra sweetness. She has the intelligence, loyalty, and elegance of a Doberman paired with the confidence and versatility of a Shepherd. The result? A smart, affectionate, and engaging young dog who is always ready to be part of whatever her people are doing. This young, active, fun-loving girl is almost a year old now, gaining strength, confidence, and showing more of her personality every day. She’s incredibly friendly, very smart, and eager to learn, which means she’ll do wonderfully with continued training. She’s already just about potty trained and continues to make great progress. One of Myra’s most adorable quirks is her love for stuffies. She absolutely adores her toys — but unlike many dogs, she doesn’t destroy them. Instead, she carefully carries them around like prized possessions. They’re her “babies,” and if you adopt Myra, it’s truly a package deal — she will absolutely be bringing her beloved collection with her. Myra can be sweet and classy one minute, and the life of the party the next. She loves being part of the action and enjoys both playtime and affection with her people. Her joyful energy is contagious, and she has a way of making everyone around her smile. Because she’s still young and full of energy, Myra will do best with a family who is ready to continue her training, provide structure, and give her the exercise and engagement she needs to thrive. In return, she’ll give her family endless loyalty, love, and entertainment.  She needs a yard with a physical fence to provide a safe space for her to run and play.  She's good with larger dogs, but hasn't been around small dogs or cats.  She likely has too much puppy energy for very young children, but older kids would be fine. What Myra wants most is simple: a home where she can keep learning, keep playing, and finally be her family's beloved companion. Myra’s best chapter is just beginning. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, playful young dog who will keep you smiling every day — Myra might just be your girl.  Apply today at www.DUdobes.org   Doberman Underground adopts to Ohio and some close in areas of surrounding states.  A full list of the states and specific counties we adopt to is available at the top of our online 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.June 6, 2026, 9:49 am

Story
Meet Waddles!Waddles is a 6-year-old female dog weighing around 73 pounds who is looking for a calm and understanding home. She can be a bit sensitive when meeting new friends and prefers to take things at a slower pace, but with patience and respect, her true personality begins to shine.Waddles is interested in new dogs, but doesn`t seem to want to live with another dog in her forever home. She shows potential to coexist with visiting dogs, but she would prefer to be the only animal in her forever home. Because of her sensitive nature, Waddles would do best in a home with older children only. Kids ages 13 and up should understand how to respect her boundaries, as she does not enjoy excessive handling. Waddles is very intense with small animals, so she cannot live in a home with cats. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who values quiet moments and a gentle approach, Waddles may be the perfect fit. Stop by the Humane Society of Summit County to meet her and learn more about how she could fit into your home.

Because of this, she would likely do best as the only dog in her home, where she can relax and enjoy being the center of attention.At this time, we do not know how Equinox would do living with cats.If you`re looking for a loving companion to join you on life`s adventures, Equinox would love to meet you!

Story
Meet Grayson! He is a 4.5 year old Shepherd mix who weighs about 55 pounds. Grayson is a sweet boy who enjoys meeting new people, but is just as happy to occupy his own time. He is a typical shepherd who loves to be outside exploring and can`t wait to go outside for his morning walk. He enjoys playing with his tennis ball and is always ready to play. He arrived in our care underweight and still has a bit of weight to gain, so his favorite thins right now is food! Grayson loves to get snacks and is always ready to show off some tricks in exchange for a tasty treat. Grayson can be very forward with dogs, so he would need a dog that is more relaxed at first if he were to live with another dog. With a slow introduction he shows potential to live with another dog if they`re a good fit, but he wouldn`t mind being the only dog either. He doesn`t like to share his food, so if there were kids in his forever home they would need to be ages 13 and older so they can respect his space. Since Grayson is such a sweetheart he shows potential with younger visiting kids in his forever home. If Grayson looks like the perfect pup for you, stop by today to meet this handsome boy!

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?

Story
Hi! This is Rocky. We rescued him at a sweet 3 months old. He loves to play, be outdoors, and he has a vibrant personality! Due to losing a family member and transitioning to caregiver, I don’t get to spend a lot of time with him. The past year has been tough with not allocating time for play and being outdoors. It makes me sad to leave him home all day. I’d love for someone to be able to spend more time with him, care for him, and give him loads of love. He’s a very special dog. He has become more anxious and I would like for someone with experience with behavioral training (no first time dog families).
