Story

Meet Enzo - a boy with the enthusiasm of a toddler and an unwavering dedication for playing fetch. Being outside is his happy place and once he's comfortable, his incredibly loyal, loving personality truly shines. Enzo is the kind of guy who just wants to be included, whether that's exploring the yard, playing until sunset, or simply being near his favorite people. He's gentle with kiddos, friendly with people of all ages, and simply always down to play. He's still learning some greeting manners but he's eager to please and does well with consistency and patience. If you're in the market for a best friend with a goofy streak, endless love to give, and the athletic endurance of a dog who clearly skipped the "getting tired" chapter, Enzo is ready to steal your heart.

He listens pretty well to commands. All he wants is love and attention all day. Though he is capable of staying home alone for a work shift or a day outside of the house.

Story

Rico is a 7-month-old German Shepherd/Husky mix who will be 8 months old on June 8. We got him at 6 weeks old from an unexpected litter, so we do not know much about his parents besides their breeds. Rico is very energetic and loves being outside, playing fetch, balls, and squeaky toys. He LOVES food and will steal food off counters if he gets the chance. He is also protective over his food. He does well with kids but may jump or nip when excited. Rico is still a puppy and has trouble calming down on his own, so he does best with supervision or in a crate when unattended. We are looking for a home that can give him the training, structure, and attention he needs. We are rehoming him because we are moving and our work schedules no longer allow us to give him the time he deserves.

Story

Bailey is an absolute sweetheart! She was found as a stray out in the country which means somebody probably left her on the side of the road. She was positive for heartworm but has finished her treatment!! She loves being around people and she loves to play especially tug of rope. She is a talker and very treat motivated. She knows sit and working with her on paw and lay down. Now because of her age she still has the puppy tendencies but she loves going on walks but someone who is patient with her will be able to teach her that chasing cars is not okay. She follows my kids around the yard and plays with them and she loves the snuggles. She is incredibly smart and would make a great family dog. She is an all-around good girl who is just looking for a family to love me. If you think you could be that family, Located in North Texas, Transport fee included

Story

Say Hi to Onyx!This sweet girl has had quite a journey. She is a 4 year old German Shepherd whose life started in an Amish puppy mill. Onyx had been used for breeding until she was discarded. Thankfully she made her way to us so her healing journey could begin. She was a shell of a dog when she arrived. So terrified of humans she would just cower in her crate and never want to leave. She spent several months in our prison training program and found GREAT success! Our handlers did a wonderful job teaching her that humans are loving. Onyx has learned her basic obedience skills and proven she is very smart! She is hesitant in new situations, but sooo much better than when she came. She has moved to a foster home and is doing great! She enjoys being with the other dogs, running around in the backyard, rolling in the grass and is so ready for her next chapter. Her ideal home would have a fenced in backyard, another dog or 2 to show her the ropes and patient owners who understand she will need time to adjust. Even in her fear Onyx has never shown any aggression! She wants to trust and be part of the family. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and HW negative. She is crate trained, leash trained, knows her basic obedience and is potty trained. If you are interested in adding Onyx to your family and finally giving her the happily ever after she deserves, please visit our website and complete an adoption application: https://www.prodogsohio.org/adoptables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We appreciate your support, in order to help us continue to rescue dogs!

Story

Shepherd Lovers — Meet Canela Canela is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd who is looking for a new place to call home.Due to a change in her owner’s work situation, Canela was spending long hours alone outside in the backyard. She loves people so much that, in her search for new friends, she started jumping the 4-foot fence and wandering the neighborhood. Thankfully, a kind neighbor brought her in to keep her safe. Her owner has made the decision to surrender her so she can find a family that can spend time with her.Canela loves people! She is a very smart dog with a ton of energy, and loves to cuddle! She has interacted with neighborhood kids, she does well with other dogs with slow, proper introductions. She is NOT cat-friendly, so a cat-free home is required. Canela would benefit from someone with breed experience who is committed to training her. She is VERY good motivated and loves the freeze dried treats. In two days in a new condo setting, her foster was able to teach her not to bark at people walking by. Canela would also benefit from a fenced yard while her family works with her to reinforce her leash walking and her recall.Canela has been calm and non-destructive when left alone for periods of time. She rides well in the car, walks pretty well on a leash, loves to run around a fenced in back yard, and is a sucker for stuffed animals! If you’re interested in adopting Canela, please apply at ricopetrecovery.org 🐾The adoption fee for Canela is $200. She has been spayed and her vaccines are up to date.

Story

Coco is a sweet, goofy girl with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She loves making people smile with her silly antics and has a playful spirit that makes every day a little brighter. Whether she’s happily following you around the house, playing with her favorite toy, or just relaxing by your side, Coco is happiest when she’s with the people she loves. Making the decision to rehome her has been one of the hardest choices I’ve had to make. I never imagined I’d have to say goodbye, but I’m deploying soon and won’t be able to give Coco the stable home and attention she deserves. She means so much to me, and my only goal is to find her a family who will love her as deeply as I do. Coco deserves a home where she’ll be included as part of the family, given plenty of love, patience, and time to be her goofy self. In return, she’ll reward you with loyalty, affection, and countless moments that will make you laugh.
