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
Weezie is a 8 year old full breed American Bulldog and she is registered with United Kennel Club, I have her papers. She is fully housebroken and crate trained. She is very comfortable in and loves her crate. She is an inside dog and has been pampered all her life. She does not like outside unless to go potty. She is full of personality and very affectionate, loves to be rubbed and petted. Loves walks on a leash, although she pulls a little bit, she responds to corrections. She is a bulldog so she has a little stubbornness. But she knows commands. She is a submissive dog and has never I mean never exhibited any aggression to me or anyone else. Again she is submissive to humans and only wants hugs and kisses. She will bark when someone comes to the door but when they come inside she only wants hugs and kisses. Here are commands she understands. come here lay down sit crate or go to crate outside

Story
Chama was found on the streets of Dayton and we cannot keep him due to our other dog. He is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet! He is clingy and loving and kind and listens. He seems as though he’s never had a home before the way he looks at you. All he wants is to be loved and treated right. I have fallen in love with him and I want him to go to someone who can give him all the love he needs. He deserves a home!! Please reach out if you’re interested, you’ll love him instantly!

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
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. 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.   May 11, 2024, 10:31 pm

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.

Story
Meet Nala! Nala is a sweet girl with lots of energy! She loves to run and play. She loves to play tug. She gets very into it and is very vocal while playing tug. While we are not sure how Nala would do with cats, we do know she does well with older kids. She has also lived with other dogs, but can be choosey with her friends. If you have another dog at home we would strongly recommend a meet and greet with them, to see if they are compatible. Nala does know basic commands and graduated from her beginner training class. She would greatly benefit from ongoing training and enrichment, to keep her being the best girl she can be. If you would like to meet Nala, please contact SPCA Cincinnati for more information.

Story
Location: Hamilton, OH Food: Pork Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative Hey you! Don't I know you? I know now... It took me a minute to put my paw on it. You are the one looking for a bestest buddy! Well Well today is your lucky day! YOU FOUND HIM!!! Hi I'm Charlie... I'm a 3 year old English Bulldog and just like you I am looking for my bestest buddy too... Let me tell you a little about myself. Since coming into rescue I have learned a lot of things. The main one is rules and boundaries... What can I say I am a bulldog you know! Where I was before I didn't have rules and boundaries. I mean who am I kidding? I didn't even have a bed, toys, bones and even hoomans that I love so much. I had to learn a lot... Fomma says I am a very quick learner and I am always eager to learn. I have learned sit, wait for my food till I'm told to get it, manners and a very important one... Who's in charge.. Come to find out it was not me! I like it better that way honestly. I love to take walks and I am working on my leash manners as well... There are just so many awesome things out there to see and smell its hard to stay focused. I have worked so hard at it that I hope you are up for taking walks, cuz I don't want to forget anything I have remembered. Lets see... Oh yeah if you are wondering if I like other dogs... Ummmm it would have to be very slow introductions. I love to run the fence line with the other fosters here and the neighbor dogs. It's just when the gate opens I tend to get a little overly excited and so I think it is just best we keep it to playing on opposite sides of the fence. Now if you would like to go outside and throw some ball I am down for that any and every day. Sometimes I bring it back and sometimes I don't. But I guarantee you that it will be a great time not matter what... Ok enough about me... If I sound like a good fit for you please fill out an application and fomma will be in contact with you. Then when I get home you can tell me all about yourself... I can't wait to hear it... LOVE CHARLIE

Story
Location: Carlisle, OH Food: Taste of the Wild - Venison and Garbanzo Beans Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative and Benadryl when needed Are you an "on the go" type of person? Do you like to explore new places & try new things? Miss McQueen would love to be your travel buddy! McQueen loves being outside chasing the squirrels, birds, rabbits or whatever critter may be in the yard. Not sure if you know her story, but McQueen was adopted around this time last year and her person decided to dump her at a local shelter instead of calling us. She was at the ideal weight of 52# at the time of her adoption and now she weighs 74# (she was 78# at the shelter, so she is getting that extra weight off) So, she will need someone dedicated to an exercise program for her so she can get back to her ideal weight. McQueen is good with other dogs, cats, kids and she is crate trained and housebroken. I feel that she needs a physical fence because her favorite thing is to be outside waiting to spot a squirrel to chase! Once she is done with her outside adventures, she is perfectly fine chilling next to you on the couch.
