Story
Molly is a sweet, laid-back senior pug mix who’s ready to spend her golden years soaking up love. At 8 years old and a perfect 20 lbs, she’s the ideal size for cuddling—and cuddling just happens to be one of her favorite activities. This affectionate girl adores attention and will happily accept all the pets you’re willing to give. She’s housebroken and crate trained (though she doesn’t really need one), making her an easy, low-maintenance companion. She is spayed and microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Molly’s needs are simple: a soft place to sleep, cozy blankets, and a human who enjoys giving gentle affection. With her calm demeanor and loving nature, Molly would be a wonderful match for a quiet home looking for a loyal, easygoing friend. Give her comfort, love, and a warm spot to nap, and she’ll be one very happy girl.

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: Dayton, OH Food: Beef Based Diet Medication: NexGard Plus Meet Liza Jane 💕 Liza Jane is a petite, two-year-old exotic bulldog girl with a heart that shines brighter than her past. Though her early days were marked by hardship, this little survivor has blossomed into a joyful, loving companion who is ready to start her happily-ever-after. When Liza Jane first arrived in rescue, she was coming from very difficult circumstances. She had been malnourished and was battling a painful uterine infection. It’s clear that life hadn’t always been kind to her—but you would never guess it by the sparkle in her eyes today. With proper medical care, nourishing meals, and lots of gentle love, Liza Jane has made an incredible recovery. She has stepped bravely out of her past and into a brand-new chapter filled with hope. Small in size but mighty in spirit, Liza Jane doesn’t let anything slow her down. She is energetic and absolutely loves her walks! She’s still learning the ropes when it comes to leash manners, but she approaches every outing with enthusiasm and curiosity. With a little patience and consistency, she will continue to improve each day. Liza Jane is also working hard on her potty training. When given frequent opportunities and regular walks, she does very well going potty outside. She just needs a family who will continue that consistent routine and celebrate her successes along the way. At home, Liza Jane enjoys the balance of playtime and lazy snuggle sessions. She hasn’t quite discovered the magic of toys yet—perhaps no one ever showed her how fun they can be—but with time, encouragement, and a loving family, we’re confident she’ll learn that toys can be just as joyful as belly rubs and cozy naps. She is beginning to learn her manners in her foster home and will need a family committed to continuing that training. The good news? Liza Jane is very treat-motivated, which makes her eager to learn and responsive to positive reinforcement. With consistency and kindness, she will thrive. Liza Jane’s journey is a beautiful reminder of resilience. Despite everything she has endured, she greets life with excitement and an open heart. Now all she needs is a forever family to show her that her hardest days are behind her—and that her future is filled with long walks, soft beds, patient guidance, and endless love. If you’re ready to help this brave little girl continue her transformation, Liza Jane is ready to meet 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: Beavercreek, OH Food: Purina One Hydrolyzed Protein Medication: NexGard Plus monthly I am ready for my forever family!! I have beautiful blue eyes, as blue as the sky on a clear summer day. I am deaf and my other senses are heightened. So that’s pretty cool! I have some really pretty brown spots on my otherwise white coat. I feel it really makes me stand out in the crowd. I am the main character and I don’t need a supporting cast! I don’t really like being around other dogs and I REALLY dislike cats. Speaking of likes, I really like people. The older, the better! I don’t really enjoy hanging out with young kids and do best around humans who are 15 and up. My foster family thinks I am pretty funny. When I get excited I either hop or plop! I hop like a bunny and I plop for belly ribs. When I see you my entire body wiggles, not just my tale. I’m basically an overachiever. I love to be outside and I even like the snow! I am super curious and alert of my surroundings. I like to walk outside and my foster mom is working on my leash manners, but say I am learning! I sleep a lot, like a whole lot. I play in bursts and then lay down. I like to sit and lay right up against my humans but I’m not a lap dog. Like most bullies, I am VERY food motivated. I don’t want to brag, but I am really good at the sit command. As soon as I see my foster mom raise her hand in a sit command, I do it. Like. It’s. My. Job. Note from my foster mom- Aialik is a really sweet girl, but she requires a strong leader to make her feel safe. We will be looking bff for someone who has bully experience. ***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!!!
