Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gus – Your New Best Friend!  Gus is a lovable Pug mix with a heart as sweet as they come. Through no fault of his own, he found himself owner surrendered to a shelter, but he's ready to leave that chapter behind and find the forever family he deserves. Gus can be unsure of meeting new people at first, and may be a little shy and territorial. Once he knows you, he will be your best friend for life. He will welcome you with kisses, happy jumps, lots of tail wags.  When Gus was owner surrendered, we were told that he is potty trained and does know how to use a bell to alert when needing to use the bathroom. He is also not much of a barker, gets along great with dogs, rides well in a car, and walks well on leash.  Gus is neutered, 4DX negative, microchipped, current on all vaccinations, and protected with ProHeart 12 and Bravecto.  His adoption fee is $400. To apply to adopt Gus, visit www.adoggie4you.org. Gus is currently located in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (Kentucky), and locations along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. Please note that transport is not available to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 3, 2026, 5:35 pm

Story
Please note that this dog is currently located in TX and will be transported once adopted. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. Hi, I’m Gidget, and I’m basically a tiny social butterfly in a dog suit! 🦋🐶 I’m a 10-month-old, 8-pound Pug/Chihuahua mix (our best guess), and while I may be little, my personality is anything but! I’m super outgoing, incredibly social, and absolutely convinced that everyone I meet is my new best friend. Two-legged? LOVE them. Four-legged? LOVE them too! I have an enthusiastic, playful style and I'm always ready to make friends, chase around with my buddies, or join whatever fun is happening. I'm the kind of girl who doesn't want to sit on the sidelines—I want to be right in the middle of the action! My happy, confident personality makes me a blast to be around, and I bring a whole lot of fun packed into my tiny 8-pound body. I'm looking for a family who will appreciate my playful spirit, keep me busy, and let me be the outgoing little socialite that I am. If you want a pint-sized pup with a giant personality and a heart full of love, I'm your girl! Come meet Gidget—your new tiny best friend! 💗 Apply to adopt Gidget at haydudeequine.org. 🐾✨

Story
Hi there, I'm Vernon! I am a super snuggly sweetheart. I have the the softest, rabbit-like fur you’ll ever touch. I'm a bulldog mix with the cutest underbite, really, I'm a total cuddlebug and love nothing more than curling up close for a nap—or playing joyfully with other dogs. Before rescue, I was surviving as a stray on the streets for months, too scared to trust despite many kindhearted attempts. When I finally decided it was okay to trust and taken in, I had some serious wounds from life outside — I got some TLC, antibiotics, and love. But that is all behind me now and my foster says I've healed beautifully, both inside and out. I have been told that I can have a very serious look but I am gentle, affectionate, and ready to bond deeply with a forever family. While I haven't met cats yet, I am at my best and confident when I am with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions or loving humans who adore snuggles. Now that my rough days are behind me, I'm ready for a soft bed, full belly, and lots of love—maybe with you? ADOPTION FEE: $350 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience BIRTHDAY: 11/5/2023 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Required CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME - If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $350 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION OR ARE NOT YET READY TO PROCEED PLEASE APPLY WHEN YOU ARE.*** INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Location: Centerville, OH Food: Royal Canin GI multifunction Hydrolyzed Medication: NexGard Plus Harvey is a three year, 9 month old bully who is pretty laid back and loves everyone. He is a touch underweight and could use a couple extra snackos until he puts on a few pounds. We have been feeding him just a bit extra each meal to slowly get him where he needs to be. Harvey loves a good walk and does really well with almost no pulling at all. He gets along with all the dogs in our house and even ignores our house rabbit. He is a super happy guy. In fact, he is so happy that he has missing hair on his tail from wagging it so hard against the bars of his crate. He is crate trained and potty trained with his only accidents the first couple days here (different environment and schedule so to be expected). He would be good as a single dog or with a dog sibling or two. Due to his size and energy I’d recommend older children who are not easily knocked over by a bigger dog. He really is a happy go lucky guy who wants to be by your side and see what you are doing at all times. If you need a Velcro friend, Harvey may be the guy for you. ***Adoption Process*** -All current pets in the home need to be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and on veterinarian prescribed flea/tick/heart worm prevention. -Everyone living in the home, including all resident dogs, must be present at the meet and greet located in the Southwest Ohio area. -We DO NOT ship dogs!!!

Story
Location: Pataskala, OH Food: Purina One Hydrolyzed Protein Medication: NexGard Plus monthly Meet Aialik 🐾 Aialik is looking for the right home through Badass Bulldog Rescue — and when I say the right home, I mean someone who understands what it means to take on a special dog and continue the work that’s already been put in. She’s deaf, but that hasn’t slowed her down one bit. She’s been fully trained on and off leash using clear hand signals and e-collar communication. She understands structure, expectations, and how to exist calmly in a home. And personality-wise? She’s sweet, goofy, and absolutely loves people. She’s the kind of dog that will make you laugh daily and want to be right by your side. That said — let’s be clear about who she is so she lands in the right situation: High prey drive → Cats may be possible, but only if they’re calm and the owner is experienced and intentional Only dog home → This is non-negotiable for her long-term success Dog interactions → She is a bite risk if allowed to freely interact with unfamiliar dogs, especially high-energy or unruly ones She does live around my dogs, but that’s the result of a lot of structured, intentional training. That’s not something I expect the average home to replicate casually. Here’s what makes this different from a typical adoption: Aialik will come with 6 coaching sessions with me (fully covered by the rescue). That’s not optional fluff — it’s a critical part of her transition. Whoever adopts her needs to be serious about continuing her training and maintaining structure. That’s what gives her stability, clarity, and ultimately the best quality of life. Who is she perfect for? Someone who wants a loyal, well-trained companion Someone who appreciates structure, communication, and clear expectations Someone who is either experienced with bully breeds or willing to learn and follow through If that sounds like you, reach out to Badass Bulldog Rescue and let’s make sure Aialik ends up exactly where she belongs. This isn’t a “feel good, take her home and see what happens” situation. This is a do it right, and you’ll have an incredible dog situation. ***Adoption Process*** -All current pets in the home need to be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and on veterinarian prescribed flea/tick/heart worm prevention. -Everyone living in the home, including all resident dogs, must be present at the meet and greet located in the Southwest Ohio area. -We DO NOT ship dogs!!!
