Story
Henry and Raaz are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They were bonded as puppies and rely on each other for emotional stability. I got them two years ago and Henry is 6 turning 7 soon on April 4th. Raaz is 7. They are very kind dogs who are moderately trained with tricks, going to their crates independently and giving space when needed. Henry is the goofball of the two. While he is a bit of a doofus, he is such a lover boy. His favorite things are playing with the laser, getting pets and chicken fat as a special treat. Raaz is a grumpy old lady with a heart of gold. She shows her young spirit when playing ball or laser and she loves Beggin for Bacon dog treats (or even better, real bacon). There has been some family medical issues and I am no longer able to home or take care of them properly. They will come with their crates that they recognize as their room and I will provide half a months food that goes with their diet. They both love a sprinkler in the summer as well

Story
Hi, I'm Chevy! I'm a 4 month old bernese mountain dog mix. My siblings (the Simpsons litter) and I were rescued by RescuedOhio. My siblings have all been adopted, but I stayed with my foster a bit longer because I had a broken leg. My leg is now healed and I am ready to find my family! I no longer have to wear a cast, but I have some atrophy to my left hind leg from being in the cast for so long. It will take me some time to regain strength and build muscle, but I'm getting stronger and stronger. I can't wait to run around like a normal puppy again! I absolutely love my foster siblings. I love having a playmate and a companion to snuggle up with in the evenings. I would love to have a dog sibling in my forever home! Because I had a cast and activity restrictions, my potty training has been a slow process, but I am improving! It's so much easier without that clunky cast to drag along. I don't mind being crated. I am very food motivated, so you can easily train me with treats! My adoption fee is $400. This includes my neuter, deworming, a clean bill of health, vaccines and preventatives up to date. ##2344560##

Story
Meet Mongo, a 7-year-old charmer who’s as smart as he is adorable! This loving boy enjoys the company of people and kids of all kinds, always ready to share affection and enjoy some quality time together. Mongo is a gentle soul with a big heart, and he’s sure to bring a lot of love to any home he joins. While Mongo has never interacted with cats or dogs growing up, but based on his interactions with dogs at the shelter we believe he would do best in a home without another dog. However, his calm demeanor makes him a great companion for anyone looking for a sweet and easygoing pup, so if you're looking for a single dog to spoil, he might be perfect for you! Mongo is currently awaiting his dental surgery, but once that’s taken care of, he’ll be fully available for adoption. If you’re looking for a smart, loving dog who is ready to shower you with affection, Mongo is waiting to become your new best friend!
