Story
Toasted Marshmallow is the full government name, but my foster mom calls me Toast, Toaster, Toaster Waffle, Toasty Marshy, and Derpy Dude.  I love my foster brothers and highly enjoy all the adventures our mom takes us on, but I would much prefer to be a city dog. I’m friendly with all the dogs I’ve met, I ignore cats, and humans of all ages are my friends. As long as they don’t sneak up on me! I can be timid until I get to know you.  I’m not a fan of toys. I don’t understand why my foster brothers are always throwing fluff around the house, but I highly enjoy trotting around the yard with them and going on walks or car rides with mom! And I share treats and food very nicely.  I’m a gentle giant who would love a desk to sleep under and keep you company while you work from home. But if you have to leave me, I am crate and potty trained. Though I can also be trusted to be left loose and I just sleep on the couch.  Mom says my recall isn’t the best, but I stick to her like Velcro so I never get too far away. And I am well trained on a leash.  Mom takes me to her family farm daily and while I help her clean horse stalls, I’d rather avoid the bugs and be a “city dog” as she calls me. But I enjoy the exercise I get walking around with her! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   November 2, 2026, 11:01 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Duke, aka Dukie Boy. Folks think I’m part Great Dane, GSD, hound, and just an overall big Heinz 57! I’m a bit over 100 lbs. and am a great mix of playful fun and snuggle bugs. I’m neutered, perfectly house trained and go straight into my crate without hesitation! At boarding I have fun with my friends both male and female. I also like to sleep on the bed - I’m the best snuggle buddy since I just curl up into a little ball and sleep through the whole night! Playing ball and frisbee are two of my favorite activities after some fun, I love nothing more than lots of pets and luvins and relaxation. I’m just a young boy (maybe 3-4 at most) who is searching for a forever home! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application.

Rocky is an owner surrender due to unable to care for him. He is a big big baby who is content to sit with you and let you pet/rub him. He likes to run and play but honestly if he is beside you, he is at his happiest. He is dog friendly with proper intro, bunks with his best buddy Archie. He is neutered and up to date on shots.

Story
Meet Bonnie! 🐾❤️Bonnie is a beautiful Great Dane with an incredibly sweet and loving personality. She is affectionate, playful, and has so much love to give!Bonnie does wonderful with other dogs and older children. She has never been around small children, so we cannot say how she would do with little ones.One very important thing to know about Bonnie is that she cannot live in a home with small animals, including cats, chickens, goats, or other small livestock.Bonnie would thrive in a loving home where she can get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. She truly is a sweetheart, and finding the right family for her is incredibly important to us.We want nothing more than to see Bonnie happy, safe, and loved in her forever home. ❤️Serious inquiries only, please.
