Story
Rafferty is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. He is happy all of the time. Rafferty loves new people of all ages; enjoying all the scratches and affection they can bestow on him. He also gets along great with other dogs and will run and play. (Video attached) . Rafferty is estimated to be about a year old and weighs just 18 pounds.  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 16, 2026, 7:31 pm

Story
Teddy is a Shih Tzu that was rescued from the Columbus Humane Society. Teddy is about 2 years old. He is a very loving dog. Loves to play. Does well with other dogs and cats. Can be territorial over his own bones! He loves children and is also a great lap dog. I have struggled with house training Teddy. He does great sometimes and then not. I honestly just don’t have the time or know how to train him properly. He goes to the bathroom outside and he also goes on a pee pad. Teddy does well with children. My boys which are 10 and 8 have autism and he has done well with that. I have all of his paper work. He is not trained very well for a leash. We have a fenced yard he runs and plays in. Teddy is very happy and playful and deserves all the love he can get! I usually groom him at PetSmart. I feel he would love a big family with lots of love or a couple that could give him most of their time for all the love he needs!

Story
I am looking to rehome my boys. The tan dog is 11 years old he is a shorkie and the white and brown dog is 10 years old an is a shitzu. They are great with children they are used to living in a full house. They are also lap dogs and love a good cuddle. They are both pretty lazy relaxed babies. They have been with us since they were puppies but we are downsizing and moving abroad and just dont want to put them through all the trauma of making such a big move. They would be great with a young family or older couple. They are such good boys. They are up to date on all their shots and chipped. Please help me find them a good home one that they can go together. They have grown up together. They come with all of there things. beds, food, leash, crates. They are crate trained as well. There is a small rehoming fee but that is only so that I know whoever takes them is serious about providing them with a stable home.

These pups are in Springfield, Ohio too!

Story
This is very hard for us to do. Toby is a very good dog. He unfortunately does not do well with children unless they are old enough to know not to mess with him. He is territorial over himself. If he does not see you coming he gets scared and defends himself. His breed is from Asia Tibet and they were used as guardian dogs. He love cuddles when he wants it which he will let you know! You can definitely pet him and give him love as long as he is comfortable. He does well with other dogs but he would rather be alone unless the dog knows he is alpha. I would prefer him to go to someone that does not have children or other dogs. He does fine around cats after he’s been around them. He is also very well potty trained to where if it’s raining he will hold it in until he is ready to go out. He is up to date on shots and flea/tick/heartwarm medicine. We get him groomed frequently.
