Story
I was thrown out on a rural county road in Brown County when I was no longer wanted and I desperately needed medical care! The pavement was so hot it burnt the pads of my paws; my skin was so infected that my whole body felt like it was on fire and my joints ached so bad I could barely stand let alone walk! It, however, was my lucky day because the Brown County Humane Society Dog Shelter found me and got me to the shelter where they called Harlequin Haven to come for me!! I was taken immediately to the Mt Orab Veterinarian Clinic to start receiving medical care. The Veterinarian even climbed in the car with me so I would not have to move! Although I have a long road to recovery, I now know that there are kind people in the world that care about me just for being me! Update 10/8: Just a quick update to let you know that I am still improving. My hair is finally coming back in and I love laying on my soft beds!! I am slowly learning to walk on slick floors as well as being inside. Grandma said I will have to make a trip back to the vet soon to receive a follow up examine. Update 10/22: Another update, my health continues to improve!! I saw the Vet yesterday and he did x-rays of my back he said that I have several spots with calcium buildup which is causing some of my walking issues. But most of my walking issues is my fear of going into buildings and especially ones with slick floors. It sure was a good thing, the Vets office has lots of doors, so I was able to get around in the building without walking all the way through the building. As for my skin, it is much better but not great so the Vet gave me a very expensive injection which hopefully will help my skin to heal. Well, that is all for now!! I gotta go get a nap before dinner!! Update 12/19: Just a quick update. I have not received another injection for my skin as it appears to be getting better on it's own. I am still failing at losing weight (dieting sucks) but I am getting around much better. Grandma says it is because I am becoming more comfortable living inside. Well I will give another update after I see the Vet again. Update 12/29: Well they do not think I need another shot as my skin has cleared up!! I will get new pictures soon!! But the great news is I am NOW ready for adoption!! Okay who wants an old fat boy that loves to snuggle???

Story
2.5 year old Great Dane. His core personality is very sweet and loves to be loved. Typically a couch potato. He is great with my 10 year old and our other Great Dane. He needs someone with experience. He has behavior issues with territory that we don’t know how to deal with. This did result in a bite. Due to where we live we can’t keep him and we are not doing a good job with this territorial behavior. He will be a great dog with someone who has experience.

Story
Byndi is a 2-year-old female presumed to be a Dane mix. She comes to us as a stray found by one of our fosters. A sleek black coat and mesmerizing dual eye color, she is a beautiful young lady. She is also a lady with manners, waiting patiently for food and gently taking treats, and is potty and crate trained. Byndi is Young and very playful, often happily carrying toys around with her. She seems to be an all-weather dog, having a grand old time playing in the snow and takes any opportunity to stretch her legs and have a good run. A family with a larger yard or an active lifestyle would be a lovely fit. Exercise will be important. She has had limited experience with cats, but has had good temperament thus far. Byndi has warmed up to people faster than she has to dogs. She seems to be intimidated by larger or more dominant dogs, but has had more playful and relaxed encounters with smaller companions. A home with smaller children might be on the overwhelming side for Byndi, older children would be a better pairing. She is still young and learning boundries. She is still very much in the middle of decompression and has attached herself to her foster mom quickly. Byndi seems to be protective of her person and will need slow introduction to house guests until trust is earned and a routine is built. We are working with a trainer to help ease her anxiety with all the change and finding positive ways to build trust and love. Showing Byndi that the past doesn't have to define her future, and that kindness exists in the world. Byndi has a lot of love and wiggles to give. We believe once Byndi understands she is safe and comfortable, she has all the potential to be the best companion for years to come. All Paw Patrol Dayton animals come snip, chipped, tested and treated. Her adoption fee is $285 to help keep the love train rolling. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Tall, glamorous, and just self-aware enough to know I look like I belong on a vintage movie poster... until I walk directly into a doorframe. I have a soft, soulful gaze that suggests I've read poetry. I have not. I have, however, stared dramatically out of windows as if awaiting a lost love while actually watching a squirrel commit crimes. Despite my size, I am firmly convinced I am lap-sized. If you sit down, I will fold myself onto you like an oversized cashmere throw.

Story
Monster is an akc registered Great Dane. He was a surprise gift and I’ve had him since he was 10 weeks old. He will be 5 in May. He is really a super sweet boy. Lately him and my other dog have been fighting constantly. My other dog is a 9 year old female pitbull who has always been the alpha and doesn’t take kindly to Monster trying to overstep. Monster would be best fitted in a home where he is the only dog. He does very well with cats and kids. He is an absolute unit, about 140 pounds. He is due for his yearly shots but aside from that he is up to date. He is prone to ear infections. We love him so much and just want him to be in a safe and loving environment. He will steal your heart and any strawberries you leave in his reach.
