Story

Bailey is an absolute sweetheart! She was found as a stray out in the country which means somebody probably left her on the side of the road. She was positive for heartworm but has finished her treatment!! She loves being around people and she loves to play especially tug of rope. She is a talker and very treat motivated. She knows sit and working with her on paw and lay down. Now because of her age she still has the puppy tendencies but she loves going on walks but someone who is patient with her will be able to teach her that chasing cars is not okay. She follows my kids around the yard and plays with them and she loves the snuggles. She is incredibly smart and would make a great family dog. She is an all-around good girl who is just looking for a family to love me. If you think you could be that family, Located in North Texas, Transport fee included

Story

HeroMaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 65 lbsBreed: Bulldog/Lab MixTrial Adoption Eligible Hey, I’m Hero — though around my foster home I also answer to Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie. I wear them all with pride. I’m about three years old and finally learning how to just be a dog. It’s been a journey, but I’m figuring it out — learning to trust my humans, enjoy structure, and feel safe in my space. I’m fully house trained and crate trained, walk nicely on leash, and honestly? I’m a pretty chill dude. Like, surprisingly chill. I don’t get into things I shouldn’t, I enjoy routines, and I really just want to be part of your world — preferably while holding your hand, licking peanut butter off a spoon, or soaking up morning snuggles. I’ve got a solid list of commands under my belt: sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, place, and now shake. I thrive with positive reinforcement (and maybe a blueberry or two). I feel safest with gentle structure, clear boundaries, and humans who recognize how smart I am and keep my brain engaged with walks, training, puzzles, and games. Some of my favorite things include watching baseball (from the couch), yoga (yes, really), fenced-in backyards, long walks in any weather, and being near my people. I’m deeply loyal, affectionate, and incredibly bonded to my humans once I trust them. That said, it’s important to be honest about what I need to succeed. Over time, it’s become clear that I do best as the only animal in the home. I have shown resource guarding and reactive behaviors when other animals are present, and for everyone’s safety, I need a calm, predictable environment without other pets. Because of this, I’m also not a good fit for homes with children under 15. I’m not a “take me everywhere” kind of dog — I’m a ride-or-die companion for the right person. The kind who will quietly love you with his whole heart, make you laugh daily with his goofy underbite, and show you what it means to be truly grateful to be safe, understood, and chosen. If you’re an experienced, patient adopter looking for a deeply devoted companion and are willing to honor my boundaries, I promise I’ll give you everything I’ve got. To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program! This gives approved adopters a chance to get to know me in their home before making things official. You must be an approved adopter to participate. Apply to adopt Hero at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 15+ ##2188352##

Story

Meet Topanga! DOB: 4/17/26 Back Story: The Dynamic Duos Litter was born in a rural shelter on 4/17/26 and joined RESCUEDohio a couple days later. Possible Breeds: We’re guessing they may have some shar pei (based on mama’s looks) and lab, but we think they are probably a mix of several breeds. We don’t know who their dad was. Mutts are the best! Their mom weighs 40 lbs and she's an absolute sweetheart. The puppies definitely get their sweet nature from her! Personality: Named after one of TV’s most lovable leading ladies, this little girl is sweet, smart, and has a personality that’s much bigger than she is. Topanga is always up for an adventure, whether that’s exploring the backyard, playing with her toys, or checking out whatever you’re doing. Topanga also really enjoys other dogs. She hops all over the place when playing with other dogs, it's really adorable! When Topanga's done being busy, she’s happy to curl up for some cuddles. She’s got the charm, confidence, and good looks covered—now she just needs a forever family to call her own. Adoption fee is $400. If you choose to return to our vet for the spay/neuter, the adoption fee will include the spay/neuter and the microchip. Apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet and greet can be set up once approved. ##2720902##

Personality: Just like Claire from Modern Family, this adorable girl is equal parts classy, lovable and has a great personality. Claire loves to play and snuggle, making her the best of both worlds! Claire is the kind of puppy who likes to take a moment to assess the situation before fully jumping in. More of a think and observe for a moment puppy, than a "cannonball into the pool" pup. After a few minutes though, she's ready to play and have fun! Adoption fee is $400.
