Story
Food: Stella and Chewy's Red Meat Recipe - No Grains or Legumes Hello there! My name is Roxy. I have tons of spunk and even more attitude. I love to chew on plushy toys, jumping, checking everything out...I am full of puppy energy. I LOVE to use my teeth when I play with toys, hoomans, and other doggos. Some dogs do not appreciate my "in-your-face" energy. My foster sister tolerates me and even plays sometimes, but foster mom has to tell me to stop sometimes. With my anxiety, new environments stress me out, so I pace, drool, and pant. I will need patience. Quirks: I will require a solid decompression plan to help me adjust to my new home. I need firm boundaries and rules.

Story
Hi my name is White Boy Ricky, Ricky for short. I can from the shelter VERY shy and shut down. After two months of decompression, training and learning how to dog, I have turned into the sweetest guy. I am gentle, but nervous in new situations, so need a family that understands I am an awesome boy and will get more confident as I go!

Story
Meet Thor! Thor is a 3 year-old Bulldog/pit mix who loves adventure! He want to be going somewhere and doing something with his people! He is very smart and pays close attention to his surrounding. He would thrive in a home that wants to teach him new tricks and take him new places! He is still learning to stay calm when he sees something that excites him, and will need continued training for this. Thor is a very friendly, playful pup, but does seem to prefer female pups. We always recommend a meet n greet with your current dog to ensure that they are a good match! He may be too energetic for small children, so he should be in a home with older children only. He has been around cats and doesn't seem to be bothered by them. He does love to cuddle and loves affection. He also loves going on walks and playing ball and does very well in the car. He can be easily distracted though, and will often bark at people or animals when he's looking out the window. Thor is working on crate training, which is a slow introduction to being in the crate when his people are home, leaving the door open with things that he loves inside, so that he sees the crate is a good safe place for him. He is potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. Exercise is important for Thor, as he loves to be doing something, with both his mind and body! He has a moderate to high activity level, so he needs 1-3 hours of moderate activity, like walking or playing ball, or 1-2 hours of high activity, like jogging, running and learning. Thor needs a fenced yard where he can run and play safely. If you think Thor would be the perfect pup for you, please fill out an application by clicking on the below link https://www.coopersafeplace.org/application-page Thor's adoption fee is $200 and due on the day of adoption.

Story
Meet Merlot.  This sweet girl is a 3yr old bulldog mix whose journey has had some bumps along the way.  She was helped out by a local police department and made her way to her foster home, after having been found on the streets while very pregnant.  Merlot soon gave birth to 11, yes 11, puppies known as the Wine Flight Litter.   After having been a devoted momma to all her babies, this loving gal is ready to be pampered herself.    She is a laid back girl who doesn’t mind her foster family and their shenanigans in dressing her up in cute clothes.  She’s crate and potty trained, good on leash, loves to go for car rides and a big fan of being spoiled with treats and yummy wet food.  If you are ready for a loving and deserving gal to join your family, please apply for her today. Merlot is spayed, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines and microchipped.  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.   March 18, 2024, 9:51 pm

Story
Hello, my name is Savvy! I am a very cuddly and playful 3-year-old 85-pound American Bulldog mix. I have one of the friendliest temperaments you will ever encounter and I’m fully house, crate and leash trained. I am very good with other animals (dogs and cats!)…. But chasing squirrels is so fun I can’t help myself!!! I also like to toss toys in the air and catch them. What am I looking for in a forever home?  In my new furever home, I will need a lot of snuggles but also room to play. A fenced in backyard would be perfect for my squirrel chasing and toy tossing. Adoption fee is $200. She is Up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, spayed and microchipped.  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.

Story
Meet Bella, She is a sweet boxer pitbull mix with a sad back story, she was found abandoned tied to a pole as a puppy near a busy road. After hours of being unattended she was taken in by a amvets that was next door. after being there for a couple days my Grandparents took her home and gave her a home and a healthy life for almost 2 years. Both of my grandparents unfortunately passed away and i was the only member in the family who could take care of her. she has been living with myself and my girlfriend with a dog allergy for about 5ish months now and we just can’t take care of her anymore with us both working full time. She is a very sweet dog who loves to play with toys and run in the yard. she gets social anxiety when left alone for long periods of time but she seems to be getting better at it. Bella Is one of the most sweet dogs i’ve met in my entire life. It breaks my heart to let her go but we know we can find the perfect forever home for her.

Story
We acquired Bella, 7.5 yr old boxer mix, from a vets office after her long term owner passed away. She has lots of energy, loves walks and hikes,, playing in the back yard and car rides.. She was with my husband and I and our 2 great danes for 6 weeks before we had issues. She does not like our submissive FEMALE great dane and has attacked her several times . She is constantly seeking her out and wanting to bully her. However , she gets along and plays well with our 1 year old male. She found another family for 2 days and they sent her back because she was curious their cat. We have house rabbits and they are in an xpen. She goes with me twice a day to feed them, she is curious about them but doesn't try to get to them.. She may do ok with another dog, but there would need to be a meet in greet to determine that. She plays hard and can get over stimulated. Bella is house trained and knows basic commands. She is perfect in every way with the exception of not liking our FEMALE dog.
