Story
  Petey is a 63lb three year old pulled from an animal shelter on 9-19-23, and has been doing well in his foster home, and doing his best to learn how to be a good boy. He was in the Medina Animal Shelter for close to 5 months, so he is appreciating every bit of love and attention that he's getting. He's doing great with potty training in the home, and he's had playtimes with his foster mom's dogs, although we will definitely need to do meet and greets if a family already has a dog in the home. Petey can get a bit excited when he sees other dogs while on walks so an experienced handler and someone with bulldog experience would be wonderful.  A completely fenced in yard will be required. We are looking to adopt Petey into a home where there will not be children, be it family or visitors. He honestly would do best in a quiet home with little visitors.  If you are interested in adopting Petey, please fill out an application at pawsandprayers.org, and after the application is complete, please feel free to email me at sswank1@gmail.com. so I know it's been completed.  His adoption fee is $150, and will include all up to date vaccines, neuter, microchip, dewormer, and endless love from the very cool Petey!! This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program. Copy and paste this link for more information. https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/    April 25, 2024, 11:53 am

Story
Meet Lizzy! Lizzy has come a long way in her foster home since coming to us. She is completely housebroken and crate trained. Her foster family have been working on more structured training over the past couple months and she has perfected the basics, and then some: sit, down, stay, drop it, leave it, wait, come here. She will do many of those with word commands, or with hand signals and no words. She has recently started learning to ring a bell on the door when she wants to go outside and she is doing it most of the time. Lizzy has learned the routine and when she sees her foster mom getting ready to leave, she goes and waits in her crate. She loves all the toys, but especially her tennis balls. She has learned to bring the ball to you, drop it and then step back and lay down while she waits for you to throw it - all without us having to say a word. And she will keep playing until you make her stop. She loves going on walks and is getting much better with not pulling on the leash. She gets very excited for car rides and does very well in the car. When it’s time to go to bed, she can’t wait to snuggle and has recently realized she’d prefer to be under the covers. She loves to be wherever we are, but she does fine at home (in her crate) during the day too. The one thing we have learned about Lizzy is that she needs to be the only pet in the home, and would do best with kids over 12. Fill out an application at www.maggiesmissionrescue.org

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oakey Dokey ❤ ❤ ❤ What a befitting nickname! This is pretty much Oakley’s attitude! He is just an easy-going dude. Car rides, walks, hikes, or even just lounging on the couch, being lazy, doing nothing, Oakley is IN! Wherever you are, he chooses to be right there with you! Oakley is fiercely loyal, and when he loves, he loves deeply. He gives you his all. Alone time? Forget it! Oakley will want to be right where you are! Always your sidekick. Be forewarned, he also has a tendency to park his almost 90lb body in your lap and do the cuddles and snuggles ❤ Oakley keeps up on walks and hikes. Don’t walk anywhere near water though, if you are not prepared for the consequences. Oakley will think nothing of jumping in the water! If there are ducks or geese, he will give chase. Oakley thinks chasing after small creatures is just the coolest thing! He will need a thorough wipe down or bath after all these adventures. You see, Oakley has a long list of allergies. Amongst them are grass and trees. Other adorable things Oakley does is bring you his favorite toys (stuffies are his favorite) and ball. He carries them around in his mouth, everywhere. He treats them like they are his babies 😊 Oakley is 4 years old, 90lb American Bulldog. Having been disappointed by humans many times, Oakley takes a little bit to warm up to strangers (treats help) but once he inducts you into his circle, you’re in for life! Oakley is looking for a semi-active family with a good blend of activities and chill time. Oakley prefers to be the only pet in the house as nothing makes him happier than to soak up all your love and attention. This kid will give back twice as much ❤

Napoleon

American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Twinsburg, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Say hello to Napoleon! He is a 3 year old Bulldog mix who weighs 54 pounds. Napoleon is a total hunk who is sweet as can be! He is shy with new people, but after a few treats he is ready to cuddle in your lap and snuggle up for some love. He is still young so he enjoys going on walks and exploring the world around him, but he is just as happy to snuggle on the couch while you watch tv. Napoleon can be nervous with new dogs, so he needs a slow introduction, but with the right fit he could make a great buddy to a dog in his forever home. Since he is a sensitive pup at first, if there are kids in his forever home they need to be ages 13 and older. If Napoleon looks like the pup that you've been looking for, give us a call at 330-487-0333 ext 226 to learn more about him and schedule a time to come in and meet!

Story
Ojabo is a sweet, young, energetic boy. He’s playful, loving, and smart. He was abandoned by his original owner and we took him in as a foster because he is a great of a dog and we didn’t want him to end up in a shelter. We would love to keep him but we have two other dogs (one with special needs) and we don’t have the time to give Ojabo the attention he deserves. He is crate trained, house broken, and knows basic commands but would benefit from a little more training. We want him to go to a loving home that can give him the time and attention he deserves. He still has a lot of puppy energy and loves to play! Walks, fetching, and cuddling are his favorite activities.
