Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Anibus was given up by his family due to severe allergies. He is very high energy and very loving. He never got the chance to learn about the world so he is very shy but with encouragement and a treat, he is more than happy to explore new things! He is also very smart, but you do have to be willing to out stubborn him! He currently has learned to sit and a short stay, as well as wait and to gently take treats. He knows how to come, does well on and off leash, and is also crate trained. He gets along very well with other dogs, but is still learning to doggy etiquette. His favorite game is wrestling ad hr is still learning how to play with toys. He does very well with kids 10+, but does like to jump so younger kids wouldn't be a good fit. He hasn't been tested with cats, bit his old home had bunnies and he did wonderfully with them.

Story
**WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR INGRID'S PUPPIES FROM WITHIN THE STATE OF OHIO.** In April 2023, Multiple Breed Rescue pulled a pregnant German Shepherd mom from a county shelter. On April 13, she gave birth to a litter of puppies. Based on appearance, the puppies are believed to be full German Shepherd, but no DNA test was run and dad is not known. These puppies will be available as foster to adopt only, pending spay and neuter surgeries. A $200 deposit will be required when a puppy is selected by the adoptive family, and the $500 adoption fee will be paid at 8 weeks (or the day the puppies move to their foster to adopt families). Upon completion of the spay/neuter surgery and finalization of adoption, the $200 deposit will be returned. Those interested in adopting should be prepared for a medium to large breed energetic puppy who will need training and guidance. German Shepherds thrive with strong leadership and often enjoy having jobs or tasks to complete. They are not ideal pets for those who live a couch potato lifestyle. If you think your home could be a good fit for one of these babies, please submit an application today. There are 4 white puppies (3 females, 1 male) and 3 black puppies (2 female, 1 male) in this litter available for adoption. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 8 weeks at time of adoption Adoption fee: $500

Story
COME MEET ME AND MY FRIENDS at our next ADOPTION EVENT at Mitchell's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning (1750 Moore Road in Avon, Ohio) on Saturday, June 3rd from 11am - 2pm during their car show! We can't wait to meet you! Ingrid is a young German Shepherd who was picked up as a stray, pregnant. No family came to claim her so Multiple Breed Rescue took her from the shelter she was in so that should could have her babies somewhere safe. Ingrid gave birth to her puppies on April 13. Once they are weaned, she will be ready to go to her forever home. Ingrid is around a year old and weighs around 65 pounds, though most likely still has some growing to do. Ingrid is very playful and silly. She loves to run around with toys in her mouth, and mouths at hands and feet to get humans to interact in play with her. She has done great meeting other dogs and would probably be good with cats. Ingrid is most likely house trained; she keeps her crate (with her babies in it) clean. As she is a young GSD, she will need an active family who is committed to continuing good manners training. German Shepherds thrive with strong leadership and often enjoy having jobs or tasks to do. If you can provide Ingrid with the mental and physical stimulation she deserves, please complete an application today. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 1 year Adoption fee: $500

Story
This big boy is a bundle of fun! Indiana is new to ARF, so we don't know a ton about him, but in the short time he has been here we have noticed his friendly personality! He seems to love life and everyone in it! Indiana seems to be okay around other dogs and besides maybe knocking a small kid over with his giant size, we think he would be okay with them also. If you are interested in meeting him, come visit during our open hours! A meet and greet with other dogs living in your home is required before adoption.

Story
Affectionate, sweet, gentle, good natured, a good listener, follows commands. This about sums up Claire’s personality. She can be quite shy at initials meets, but if you have treats on you, she will change her tune and greet you with some excitement 😊 Once she has her fill of exercise and stimulation, she is content to just cuddle with you. Pets and belly rubs while she lay beside you will make her very happy. Young and of 2 active breeds, Claire will need her daily doses of exercise and stimulation. She can keep up on hikes, runs and walks. When walking, Claire tends to keep her nose low to the ground. She puts her hound nose to good use! She has no ball drive but loves tug games for short periods. She loves chew toys. Intelligent, Claire welcomes training. She catches on tricks right away and boy, does she love her training sessions! When out and about, keep a good grip on the leash. Claire loves to chase anything that moves. Small creatures, even shadows of birds as they fly above. She barks to announce that small creatures are here to cause havoc! If Claire smells these creatures underground, she will dig to get to them! Claire barks in a mixture of excitement and 'hey, who are you' when she sees a dog on a walk. Off leash in enclosed areas, she solicits plays with dogs. Claire is a 2-year-old, 55lbs Shepherd Hound mix. She is housebroken and crate trained. Claire is looking for an active home that can provide her with lots of stimulation and exercise. Claire prefers a home with older kids. Another note, Claire doesn’t do well in long car rides :/
