Story
Meet Meco. The vet believes he is around 2-4 years old and an American Bulldog. This beautiful boy enjoys long naps during the day, and is so cute when he snuggles with his stuffed toys. Meco enjoys a good walk and is fully house broken.  Meco enjoys the outdoors;  riding on the ranger or mower for rides are favorite treats.  He is affectionate, knows many commands and listens well. Pleasing his person is VERY important to him. He's a lower energy dog most of the time but does really enjoy his outdoor time!  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 19, 2025, 1:18 pm

Willy is looking for his forever home! Coming in at 3 years old, 19 inches, and 50 pounds (yes, you read that right), this fat ham is ready to find his people. Willy has an affinity for his blanket, short walks, and Yak Cheese Chews. He does fantastic in his crate, 100% potty trained, and is quiet as a mouse (unless the dishwasher is running).  If his underbite, crooked ear, and stubby tail didn’t win you over, he’s hoping his personality will!

Meet Rilo Gravy! He's the sweetest boy, who loves attention and being with his people. Rilo Gravy is good with other dogs and loves to play. Housebroken, walks well on a leash, and enjoys car rides - what more could you ask for?! The vet thought he was about 3 years old but we were told he’s around 7-8. We’d guess he’s about 5 years old. Regardless how old he is, any family who adopts him will have hit the jackpot!

Story
Meet Winny, the new love of your life. Winny will love you right back with cuddles and being held. She loves kids and other dogs. Winny is a very excited greeter though, so a home with smaller children would need extra attention so she does not accidentally knock over a little one with her excitement. Winny also LOVES walks and car rides, but will definitely lead the way on a walk so she will need someone who can hold down the fort. So much love going around with Winny. When Winny is by herself at home it takes her a few minutes to calm in her crate, but she even sleeps in her crate, with the command "nap", at night to let you get your beauty rest. Speaking of commands, this smart little girl knows "sit" and "come". Squeaky toys are her favorite and Winny is potty trained like a big girl. Winny still neeeds a slow feeder for meals since she eats with gusto. Winny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. If Winny seems like the right fit for you, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt to apply! Her adoption fee is $285. We believe she may be a year old old Boxer Whippet mix and she's around 35-40 pounds. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Hi there, I'm Vernon! I am a super snuggly sweetheart. I have the the softest, rabbit-like fur you’ll ever touch. I'm a bulldog mix with the cutest underbite, really, I'm a total cuddlebug and love nothing more than curling up close for a nap—or playing joyfully with other dogs. Before rescue, I was surviving as a stray on the streets for months, too scared to trust despite many kindhearted attempts. When I finally decided it was okay to trust and taken in, I had some serious wounds from life outside — I got some TLC, antibiotics, and love. But that is all behind me now and my foster says I've healed beautifully, both inside and out. I have been told that I can have a very serious look but I am gentle, affectionate, and ready to bond deeply with a forever family. While I haven't met cats yet, I am at my best and confident when I am with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions or loving humans who adore snuggles. Now that my rough days are behind me, I'm ready for a soft bed, full belly, and lots of love—maybe with you? ADOPTION FEE: $300 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience BIRTHDAY: 11/5/2023 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Required CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME - If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $300 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION OR ARE NOT YET READY TO PROCEED PLEASE APPLY WHEN YOU ARE.*** INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25. DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response. PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
