Story
Leonardo DiPuppio, or Leo for short, is a 6-year-old mixed-breed dog. According to Banfield DNA results, he is mostly a blend of Shih Tzu, Miniature Poodle, and several other breeds. I adopted Leo when I was a 24-year-old recent college graduate living alone during the 2020 COVID pandemic. He became my best friend and source of comfort through an uncertain season before I moved back to my hometown. Since returning to my parents' home, unemployment, career changes, financial hardship, life transitions, and household responsibilities have made it difficult to provide Leo with the care he deserves. He has fallen behind on grooming and routine veterinary care despite occasional seizures, possible allergies, and a persistent flea infestation that has not improved despite repeated treatments, medications, and home remedies. I am not asking for money, only for a compassionate dog lover who can give Leo the safe, healthy, and loving life he deserves. Recent flea bathed at home, fleas still.

Story
Nugget is a 12.5 pound male full breed white/brown Shih Tzu born on January 21, 2022. He is a bit active and loves to bark at everything outside that he can see, hear, or smell. This is why a house may be best for him. He loves to take walks and mark as much as possible. He needs to be house trained, but he already knows about going outside to potty. He just needs consistency. He likes to play with toys, but will destroy stuffed toys within a week or less. He does not immediately connect with dogs he doesn't know. He needs time to acclimate to new dogs and new people. He may get closer to women before men. He will bark if strangers enter the house. He has an obsession about licking ears, and he knows we have two of them. He will give hugs and kisses. Sometimes he may use kisses to get what he wants. Yes, he is a very smart little guy. He does not over eat and will stop eating once he has had enough whether treats/snacks or food. He currently eats Hill's Science small dog adult kibble.

Story
Buddy Edward is a middle-aged dude with a beer gut - we are working on his weight! He is the happiest, fattest, little Shih Tzu 'around' - he snorts like a bulldog and waddles! He came to rescue at 18 lbs and has been told by our Vet his bloodwork looks great, but his weight is a concern and obesity will cause problems. His foster has him on a diet, special kibble and only one meal a day. Buddy has curly white and tan fur. He had bald spots due to skin infections which have grown back. Due to breed - in addition to exercise, will require extensive grooming! Regular trips to the Salon *Rescue does not complete DNA testing. Breed is based on documentation provided from the original owner and Vet clinic who saw him prior to rescue. Buddy is fostered with cats, small dogs and big dogs. He loves attention and sitting on his foster mom's lap. He is leash trained and potty trained. Loves car rides and 'going anywhere. This breed has a Life Expectancy is 10-15 years. We are seeking a committed family for this piglet. Buddy came to rescue with two dog siblings after his elderly owners could not afford to care for them and taken to a small shelter. The Animal Control Officer contacted CCR and requested help - the dogs were neglected, dirty and not housetrained. They were clearly loved but owners started to struggle to care for themselves and the pets. Buddy has more housetraining than his younger dog friends. Buddy is now up to date on vaccines, dewormed for gut health, microchipped and neutered. He tested negative for heartworms and is on prevention. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee ($400.00) includes transport options to PNW (WA, UT, ID), Midwest (MN, WI, MI, OH, IL, IN) or select New England States (NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT) by pet transport partners. Due to Buster's size - he is eligible for travel with Southwest Airlines (Houston to any major airport approved by SWAAT) Canadian adopters must drive to the meet locations in USA. Email to Apply!

Story
Sammy's life wasn't the greatest when he arrived in the rescue. At only 2 years old he is a retired puppy mill dog. He currently weights about 20 lbs. His life was spent living in a kennel pumping out puppies for the mill owner. When he was no longer needed, he was discarded. We pulled him into the rescue to start him on a brand-new life! According to his foster he "lives life on his terms". He will require another doggy friend or two in his new home to help him succeed with living in a real "home" . He does seem to prefer men over women. Sammy will require a fully fenced yard (more than 4' tall) to keep him safe as he will escape if given the opportunity! He has typical puppy mill behavior - not too sure of strangers at first - is mostly afraid of everything new. He is good on a leash, does not like a crate, and has very few/rare potty accidents! He does not live with children and being a mill dog it would be best with no children in the home. He does live with cats, dogs and farm animals and does very well with them. Patience is the key to Sammy's world...If you feel you have that and would love to give this very deserving pup a new chance in life, please follow the link below for his adoption application. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $350.00 **Please note: applicants must live with 60 minutes of Toledo, Ohio http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html
