Story
Mustard is a sweet older gentleman who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This calm little guy is pretty much a professional couch potato—give him a comfy spot to curl up and he’s perfectly content! Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, but he gets around and enjoys life just fine. He does best with a calm routine and gentle handling, as fast movements can make him nervous. He is good with other dogs, especially when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will also potty outside when taken out on a leash. He hasn’t quite learned how to let you know when he needs to go outside yet, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent routine. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy, action-packed life. He’s looking for a soft couch, a peaceful home, and someone who will love and spoil him through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Flip!! Flippy is 2 years old and 17lbs. He’s a Shih Tzu who’s had a fresh groom and he’s ready to be adored. Flip is just fine with dogs and would also be just fine without. He’s great with people (and actually loves men). His prior owner was unable to care for him and made the tough decision to surrender. He’s been loved and wants loves! Flip has always had a yard and requires a fence. He has a difficult time with a leash at the moment (it’s a work in progress!). While he works on his comfort with the leash, he would benefit from a fence yard. 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.   October 13, 2026, 8:04 pm

Story
Meet Polly... and whatever you do, don't tell her she's a little fluffy for her size or that she's considered a senior citizen. She's firmly convinced she's in the prime of her life, and honestly, we're not about to argue with her. Polly prefers to think of herself as "extra cuddly" and "experienced." She still enjoys the important things in life: good snacks, cozy naps, leisurely strolls, and soaking up all the love and attention she can get.
