Story
Zella has been our baby since she was born—we own her dad also. She’ll be 8 yrs old in October & unfortunately she was diagnosed a couple years ago with hypothyroidism. With 2 kids & another on the way along with me not being able to work, we can no longer afford her medications. I’d love for her to be in a home where she can get the proper care/meds she needs so she can keep living a high quality life. She’s such a sweetheart, very good with kids (we have toddlers), other dogs & cats. As bad as it breaks our hearts to even write this post, we just want her to have a better life than what we are able to give right now. **She does have some fur loss from missing medications unfortunately (you can see a bit on her chest in last pic) but with her meds (thyroid pill + med shampoo) it will be back within just a few weeks.

Story
Smokey Joe is a handsome 14 month old German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix who spent some time in the prison Dog Training program. That means he knows some basic commands like Sit, Stay, Wait, Down, Come and Leave it. He walks great on a leash, is housebroken, crate trained, and he is neutered and utd on shots. Smokey is about 55 lbs., and has a stocky, shorter build. He does well with other dogs but plays hard, so only bigger dogs are advised. Smokey would love a fenced in yard to run in, or an active runner/walker buddy to help him get his puppy energy out. He calms down really quickly, and lives to be near his people. Smokey has a prey drive outside, but has not been tested with cats. He can be mouthy like a shepherd so he is best suited for a home with older or no children. Smokey Joe is sweet as pie and will be an easy dog for any dog savvy home. He has an adorable habit of hoarding dog toys so make sure you are stocked up if you apply! He feels you can never have too many, and will be going to his new home with some of his favorites. Smokey Joe promises to be your best friend. Are YOU the one? To meet this adorable boy, His adoption fee is $150 fully vetted. Our first step to adopt is always our online application at saveohiostrays.org. Save Ohio Strays does not have a shelter.

Story
 Meet Ruger!    Ruger is a handsome  10-year-old German Shepherd  looking for a loving home to spend his golden years! ❤️ Don’t let his age fool you — Ruger is still  very playful  and has plenty of personality and love to give.   Ruger does have  pannus , an eye condition commonly seen in German Shepherds. Thankfully, it can be managed with  eye drops and doggie goggles , and Ruger doesn’t let it stop him from enjoying life!   This sweet senior deserves a family who will give him all the love, comfort, and adventures he deserves. If you have room in your heart and home for a handsome older gentleman,  Ruger may be the perfect addition to your family!  â¤ï¸     Give Ruger the golden years he deserves! This animal is up to date on all shots, dewormed, and spayed/neutered. They have been heartworm tested (negative) and on prevention.  The adoption fee is $275.00 If you are interested in adopting this pet please fill out an application. http://www.ajssearchandrescue.org/adoption-application  September 14, 2026, 9:08 am
