Rosie has been described as having an incredibly sweet and gentle disposition, though she may be a little shy when meeting new people for the first time. Once she feels comfortable, Rosie blossoms into a delightfully floppy, affectionate, and energetic companion who loves to play and shower those she trusts with attention and tail wags. www.wonderdogsrescue.org

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Sir Henry – a little gentleman with a big heart. Sir Henry found himself at a local animal control shelter when it was over capacity, and we're so happy we were able to give him a fresh start. When he arrived, he had some hair loss, but despite everything he'd been through, he was simply happy to be safe and cared for. This sweet boy has a gentle, quiet nature and gets along wonderfully with every dog he meets. He has a playful side too and can get excited enough to jump up to say hello, so he'll appreciate a family willing to help him polish his manners. He's slightly active, enjoys spending time with his people, and is always ready to be part of the fun without being over-the-top. Sir Henry is still working on his potty training, so he'll need a patient family to help him learn a routine. With consistency and encouragement, he's sure to catch on. His loving personality makes him well worth the effort. Sir Henry is fully vetted and ready for his forever home. He is neutered, microchipped, 4DX negative, current on ProHeart 12, and protected with Bravecto. His adoption fee is $500. Apply to adopt Sir Henry at www.adoggie4you.org. Sir Henry is currently 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. Due to state regulations, we are unable to transport dogs to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 6, 2026, 4:49 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pugs Bunny! Pugs Bunny is a sweet, gentle boy who is ready to hop right into your heart! This handsome pup was found as a stray, and while we don't know much about his past, he's already shown us what a wonderful companion he can be. Pugs Bunny has a calm, quiet nature and a submissive personality. He enjoys playing with other dogs and would love a canine friend to romp around with, but he's just as happy relaxing by your side. He's looking for a patient family who will help him learn the ropes of living in a home, including potty training. Because his history is unknown, we aren't sure how he does with children or cats, so slow, supervised introductions would be recommended. Pugs Bunny is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, 4DX negative, and current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto, so he's ready to head home with his new family. Adoption fee: $400 If you think Pugs Bunny could be the perfect addition to your family, apply today at www.adoggie4you.org. Brooks is currently 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.

🐾 Meet Kano – The Puggy Wow Wow! 🐾 Hi there! My name is Kano, and yes... I know that's not how you spell Chihuahua. But I like to think I'm a Puggy Wow Wow! 😄 Technically, I'm what's called a "Chug"—a Pug/Chihuahua mix—but I think "Puggy Wow Wow" has a much nicer ring to it! I'm just 4 months old and weigh about 10 pounds, so I'll likely stay under 25 pounds when I'm all grown up... unless you keep sharing your snacks. (I won't complain—I consider myself quite the foodie!) Not long ago, I had a little makeover. I used to have trouble breathing because of my tiny nose, but I recently had surgery to help me breathe so much better. My rescue friends call it my "nose job," and let me tell you... I feel fantastic! Now I can run zoomies around the yard like a little rocket. While I was at the vet, I also got neutered, so I'm all set for my forever family. I'm a happy, social little guy who loves kids, other dogs, cats, and just about everyone I meet. I'm learning my leash manners, and my foster family says I'm incredibly smart. I figured out the doggy door in just one day and I'm almost completely house-trained because I know exactly when it's time to head outside. After a fun play session, my favorite place is curled up next to my people. Whether we're going for walks, exploring the neighborhood, or spending a quiet evening on the couch, I'm happiest just being with my family. I'm looking for someone who will laugh at my silly antics, spoil me with belly rubs, and love me forever. In return, I'll give you endless kisses, loyal companionship, and enough personality to keep you smiling every single day. ❤️ If you're looking for a sweet, funny, energetic best friend who's already overcome life's first challenges with a wagging tail, I just might be your perfect match. Come meet Kano... your little Puggy Wow Wow is waiting! 🐾 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

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?

Story
Location: Cincinnati, OH Food: Hydrolyzed Protein Medication: NexGard Plus 🐾 Meet Scooter 🐾 Hi friends… Scooter here 💙 I’m not your average pup, and I’m not looking for an average home. I’m looking for my person… the one who sees past my challenges and knows I’m something really special. Let’s start with the important stuff. I have some unique needs. I don’t use my front paws like most dogs, so I rely on my mouth to interact with the world and get your attention. Because of that, I’ll need someone who understands how to guide me and help me learn better ways to communicate. I thrive with clear boundaries, structure, and consistency… and I truly do best with a confident human who won’t let my cute face run the show 😏 I can be a little bossy if you let me, but that’s not what I need. What I need is someone who will help me be my best self ❤️ I also have some mobility challenges with my back legs, so I’ll need a family committed to my care… things like exercise, therapy, and keeping me strong and comfortable. I promise I’ll give you my whole heart in return. Now for the fun part… I’m actually a pretty chill guy 😎 I love hanging out, being part of your day, and just soaking up life. I’m sweet, I’m handsome (obviously), and I’ve got a personality that will make you smile every single day. I would really love a home with another dog to show me the ropes and keep me company 🐶💕 I also need mental stimulation to keep my mind busy and happy. So here’s the deal… I’m not the easiest dog. But I am the kind of dog that will change your life if you give me the chance. If you’re patient, strong, loving, and committed… I’m ready to be your best friend forever 💙 Love, Scooter 🐾 ***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: 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!!!
