Story
Meet Sammy Jo! He hasn’t had the easiest path in life, but you’d never know it by the gentle way he’s beginning to trust again. This sweet boy is slowly stepping out of his shell and showing us the loving heart that’s been there all along. He is a white 10 year old Maltese who is incredibly sweet and enjoys being petted and loved on by his people. He’s starting to show his playful side by recently wagging his tail and initiating play with one of the smaller dogs in his foster home. He is fully potty trained and has never had an accident in the house or his crate. His crate is his safe haven, a place he willingly goes to relax and feel secure. He also does well with children and enjoys calm, gentle interaction. Sammy Jo does have food aggression and will need structured feeding with clear, consistent boundaries. He must be fed separately, and his space around food needs to be respected. With routine and predictability, he does well. He also has a collapsing trachea and requires medication twice daily. His future family will need to stay committed to keeping him on his medication schedule to ensure he stays comfortable and healthy. Sammy Jo values his personal space, especially around other dogs. If dogs are constantly in his face or if food is involved, he can become overwhelmed. However, he is making steady progress and is slowly building tolerance with proper introductions. Sammy Jo will thrive in a home that believes in structure, patience, and consistency. He needs a family who understands that trust takes time and that giving him appropriate space is a form of love. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who is learning every day that the world can be safe again. The quiet cuddles, the tail wags, the small victories. They mean everything with a dog like Sammy Jo. If you would like to give Sammy Jo the love he has always deserved, please apply at pawpatroldayton.com. Adoption fee is $160. This includes his microchip, heartworm test, up to date on vaccinations, and neuter. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
  Meet Napoleon! Napoleon is a handsome aprox 2 year-old Morkie, just under 8 pounds, with a gentle personality and a heart full of love. This little guy is looking for a family that appreciates cuddles, companionship, and a relaxed pace of life. Napoleon is house-trained and has been doing well in his foster home. He has been a wonderful house guest and is settling nicely into his routine. He is incredibly friendly and enjoys being around people. When Napoleon wants some extra love, he’ll put his front paws up and ask to be picked up—it’s impossible not to smile when he does it! He loves snuggling on the couch and would happily be your favorite binge-watching buddy. Napoleon gets along well with other dogs and has shown no signs of aggression. He currently prefers to watch his foster siblings play rather than join in, but that may be because they’re much larger than he is. He’s a calm, easygoing little fellow who rarely barks and enjoys a peaceful home environment. While Napoleon would much rather be curled up next to his human, he is crate trained. He may let you know at first that you’re missing out on some snuggle time together, but he settles in nicely. So far, Napoleon has shown a particular affinity for turkey and is always happy to accept a tasty bite. We’re still getting to know this sweet boy, but one thing is already clear—Napoleon is going to make an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal little shadow to share your couch and your heart, Napoleon may be the perfect match. 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.   June 21, 2026, 4:46 pm
