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
Meet Princess Princess is an adorable Shih Tzu mix (possibly with Lhasa Apso or Poodle) who weighs 17 pounds and is estimated to be around 2 years old. One look at her charming little underbite and youll be smitten.Princess is house- and crate-trained, knows sit, and is the perfect in-between sizesmall enough to curl up in your lap, but sturdy enough not to be underfoot. Shell politely let you know when its time to head outside for a potty break.This sweet girl does best with calm, respectful introductions. She likes to take a moment to check new people out, especially if they approach quietly and let her set the pace. Want to win her over? Grab a squeaky toyshe absolutely loves them!Princess enjoys leisurely walks and walks nicely on a leash. Afterward, shes happiest relaxing on the couch right beside her person, soaking up gentle affection. She thrives with kind voices and patient hands; loud tones or rough handling can make her feel scared and uncomfortable, and shes not shy about letting you know when that happens.Princess prefers dogs who respect her space and dont crowd her, and she may be happiest as the only dog in the home where she can enjoy all the attention. She would do best with older children who understand how to be gentle and give her time to warm upshe has met younger kids and done well once shes had a little time to get comfortable.True to her royal name, Princess has opinions about her meals. Dry kibble alone will not do (she may even protest!), but she happily eats wet food or home-cooked meals. Treats arent her thingbut good food definitely is.If you have a gentle, patient nature and a cozy spot on the couch, Princess would love to meet you and see if youre her perfect match.Apply to adopt at www.caninecollective.org
