Story

Meet Capone 🤍 Capone has spent most of his life in a shelter, patiently waiting for a family to call his own. In December of 2025, he finally found that family and quickly showed everyone just how loving, playful, and loyal he could be. Capone is full of energy and personality. His absolute favorite thing in the world is chasing after a tennis ball, and he’s always ready for an adventure. Whether it was camping trips, fishing days, or simply relaxing out on the back patio, Capone loved being included in family time. He also formed a great bond with his dog brother, Dallas the beagle, and loved having a canine companion to play with. Unfortunately, over time Capone developed aggression toward the cats in the home, making it unsafe for him to continue living with them. Because of this, we are searching for the perfect cat-free home where Capone can truly thrive. Aside from his issues with cats, he is a loving, active dog who has so much joy and companionship to offer the right family.

Story

A few weeks ago we were thrown out like trash, literally. Our owner drove us miles from home & tossed out in the countryside then drove away 💔A nice lady found us & has been caring for us. She reached out to the rescue in hopes to find us new homes, ones that actually love us. We are a diamond in the rough type of pair (thought we are NOT bonded & do NOT need to be adopted together)💎We are both vetted, Hopper is however being treated for heartworms. We LOVE people, we’re great with kids (8+ years old have been tested) & other uh dogs. Onyx has even been around cats without issue. We love being outside ☀️our foster calls her sweet angels 👼 We have no issues with food, Hopper does eat wet food cause being older the kibble hurts his teeth a little 🦷🪥😬 We really want to find a new home, one that loves us & takes care of us. We don’t want to bounce around. My buddy Hopper wants to live out his golden years on a couch cuddling while I just want a family to call my own again. Please help us find it!

Story

Hi! I’m Wren ♥️ Let me tell you my story 📚 I used to have a friend named Winnie 😔 Out on the streets, it was always me and her together. We slept curled up against each other at night because it was cold and scary, and we only had each other. She was sicker than I understood, but I stayed close anyway. She was my safety, my family, my whole world 🌎 People finally tried to help us. They fought for Winnie 😔 They rushed her to emergency care and hoped maybe love had found us in time. But sometimes life is cruel to dogs who have been forgotten for too long, and Winnie didn’t make it. She did get to experience six days of a warm home and love 🥹 I don’t really understand where she went. I just know one minute she was beside me, and then suddenly I was alone 😔 After Winnie died, I ended up at the shelter. Loud noises, strange people, and so many barking dogs, I was terrified. I kept waiting for her to come back for me, but she never did 💔 That’s when they decided to save me too. They named me Wren, but the truth is I think I’m here because people saw how much Winnie mattered. They didn’t want her story to end with both of us being lost. So in honor of her, they tagged me and promised my life would mean something too 🥹 I’m safe now. I am fully vetted, I am fed, I am warm. But I’m still learning how to stop being afraid all the time 🥺 I’m very shy when I meet new people. I want to trust you, I really do, but the world hasn’t always been kind to me. Sometimes I hang back and just watch quietly, trying to figure out if I’m safe. But if you are patient with me, something soft begins to happen. I’ll start following you from room to room. I’ll lie nearby just because being close to you feels nice. I’ll look at you with my whole heart once I realize you aren’t going to hurt me. I like other dogs. They make me feel calmer. I’m gentle, quiet, and honestly just looking for a place where nobody expects me to be perfect right away ♥ I know I’m not the easiest dog in the world 😔 I may not run into your arms the first day we meet. I may need time to learn what love feels like when it’s safe and permanent. But I promise once I trust you, I will love you in the quietest, deepest way. I survived the streets. I survived losing Winnie. Now I’m just hoping there’s someone out there who will choose me 🥹 Not because they pity me, but because they see me. Maybe Winnie’s story is the reason mine gets to continue ♥️ Love, Wren

Story

I’m a super chill guy who just loves being around my people and other pups 🐶 I’m always down to hang out, whether that means going for a nice walk or just relaxing together. I’m really good on a leash and pay close attention, so walks with me are easy and fun 🚶‍♂️✨ I love other dogs and get along great with everyone, but I’m also really respectful if someone isn’t in the mood to play. I totally get it and will just do my own thing 😊 I’m not aggressive at all with people or dogs, I seriously love everyone I meet 💕 More than anything, I’m just dreaming of my forever home 🏡 somewhere I can have a consistent routine, feel safe, and get nice and cozy with my humans 🛋️ I promise to bring lots of love, calm energy, and happy moments into your life 💖

Story

Hi, I’m Danny 🐶💛 I’m 7 months old and basically a professional love bug. If you sit next to me, I will melt right into your hand like I was made for it 🫶 If I’m already laying down and you walk over, I’ll roll right onto my back for belly rubs (it’s kind of my signature move) 🐾 I can be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and I’ll be your shadow. I love being close to my people, sneaking in hand kisses, and just existing right by your side 🥹 My story didn’t start out so great. I was found as a stray in Houston with a broken leg that didn’t heal the right way 💔 But don’t worry, my rescue team is getting me all fixed up so I can feel my very best again 💪🐕 What I really want is a forever home where I can love and be loved every single day. Whoever gets me is seriously the luckiest 🍀 I promise to be your sweetest, cuddliest, most loyal boy 💛

Story

Meet Rayne!! Rayne is a 3-yr old (birthday 1/22/23) beautiful GSD weighing 76 lbs. Rayne is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all her commands (sit, stay, down). She is very smart. Rayne does doggie daycare and is great with all dogs and people she meets. Typical of a young GSD, she needs mental stimulation and exercise, so a fenced in yard (not electric) and an active owner would be best for Rayne. Rayne was already spayed and microchipped, and we had all her vaccinations updated; she is current with vaccinations. We also had her tested for HW and the 4DX was negative. If you are interested in Rayne, please submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Rayne would be a good match for you and your family. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $200.00 If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com. If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with medical expenses and ongoing care. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Rayne, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!
