Jacob is very friendly and loveable. He is a good dog. His owner had him from a puppy until recently when I agreed to keep him because she was no longer able to take care of him. I am holding him to find him a good home. He is 7 years old but still very active and no health issues. He is good with children and other pets.

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 20, 2026, 4:35 pm

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
Prim. That's my now name. Foster mama says it's because the first people's I lived with called me Princess and there are like 2,220,976 other doggies in rescue named that already and she didn't want anybody to be confused about who I am. Also, because I kinda knew my then name already. Close enough. I am a shih tzu puppy. My birthday is March 12th. I am not as "prim" as my new to me name suggests. I'm a girl, sure, but I'm not afraid to get out into nature (the backyard) and find a few stick or A-corns to chew on. Foster mama says the A-corns are for the tree kittens. Something about they hide them for the winters. What's a "winters"? Anyway, I come with a free AAA membership for life. Cause I'm Affectionate, Attentive and Adorable. I give endless kisses and love lap nap time. Car rides are great for those. If you are ready for a shadow, that's me. I'll follow you ANYWHERE! Oh and I'm super polite with other doggies my size. Foster mama says a little too polite sometimes. My perpetual smile is my mostest endearing feature. It's contagious. You already knew that though. Oh and my fur is luxurious and soft. So shiny. I should be in a shampoo commercial. Also, I hardly shed. I love that for me. And you. Note from Foster mama Sarah: -She is microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, and spayed. -Good with other dogs of the same size -Loves her toys -Good in the car -Submissive -Affectionate -Crate/house trained Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
