You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. adoption $400Meet Bella! Bella is a Rat Terrier mix puppy with a heart for cuddling. She’s a sweet little lapdog who loves close companionship and snuggles most of all. Bella is learning her potty manners and currently uses a pee pad most of the time; with consistency, she should transition well to going outside. She does well in her crate when needed. Bella is a typical playful puppy who enjoys toys and spending time with people. She can be a bit skittish around other dogs, but with patient, slow introductions, she will likely gain confidence and do well. DOB: 11/2025 Adoption Fee: $400 New foster dogs need time to feel safe. They may be skittish or fearful, so always stay with them outside—even in fenced yards. Ensure collars and leashes fit securely to prevent escapes.

Story
Gracie is a senior dog. Her birthdate is 3/1/2015 (est). She does not do well around other dogs and can be very territorial. Shes gotten better in her older age. She also does not do well with young children. (Babies/toddlers) older children she loves. She loves to cuddle and "hug" and needs someone that will love her with less chaos. She travels well (often traveled 12+ hours in the car) and currently has a fenced in back yard that she enjoys l. She loves ropes and fluffy blankets. My grandmother had taken her in and she did phenomenal with her. Unfortunately she passed this fall and we cannot manage her need for attention.

Story
Rocky is one of a litter of 6 pups surrendered by their owners. His mom is a rat terrier mix of some sort and dad is unknown. Some of the pups have a rat terrier look, some have curly tails and tiny ears with shorter noses but we do not know what they are mixed with. Remember Heinz 57? That is our little boy Rocky! He looks like a mix of 57 little breeds all rolled into one! Cute as they come! Mom lives in a barn outside on a farm and she is going to be spayed. All of the pups are very playful and ready for any adventure you have in mind. They were a bit shy at first but now loves attention and love to be in your lap. They are all pretty small, about 8 lbs. so lap sitting is a breeze! Cute small breed mixed pups that can fit in just about any home. Their vet care has been updated including their spay/neuter and vaccines. adoption fee: 250 please contact us directly at: ohiosdrescue@gmail.com
