Story
Meet Rafferty. While we are not certain of his breed we do know that he is sweet as can be. He is thought to be about 1 year old and he weighs 18 pounds. Rafferty loves to cuddle but is also up for some play time; a romp around the yard, a good toy to chew or he will roll around with another pup.  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.   January 31, 2026, 9:39 pm

Waffles and Paddington are best friends who do everything together and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Waffles has a smaller eye from a past injury but it doesn’t affect her day to day it just makes her have a cute little wink. They are wonderful with other dogs and do great with kids, making them an easy, loving addition to a family. Whether they’re hanging out, playing together, or soaking up attention, their sweet bond and gentle personalities shine through. If you’re looking for double the love, double the fun, and a built-in best friend duo, Waffles and Paddington are ready to find their people and settle into a forever home together 💛
