Story
Zero is a very sweet boy who is great with kids, cats and other dogs. He is crate trained. He has quite a bit of separation anxiety and needs more time than I can give him. I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts and it is unfair for him to be left in the crate all day. He needs someone who can give him a consistent routine and lots of time and patience. He is medicated for his anxiety. He was adopted from a shelter about a year ago.

Story
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?! We aren’t sure his exact age, but he’s estimated to be about 5 years old. His age makes him the perfect low maintenance companion, a little snack, a little playtime, and then snuggles on the couch sound like the perfect agenda for Rilo! If he sounds like the perfect addition to your home, apply to adopt today! 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 12, 2026, 10:24 pm

Kylo we have had since he was a puppy. We got him from a friend. He is 3 years old. I’m looking for someone to give him the attention he needs. He’s an amazing dog, just he’s been showing anxiety and has growled at my son a few times because I think the crawling stage scares him. He is the sweetest dog ever just a lot has changed and it’s been hard on him. Does great with older kids (3+ years old) Cuddly, loving, active, goofy, big baby, sweet, friendly, talkative, and funny.

Story
Meet Winny, the new love of your life. She loves cuddles and being held. Kids and other dogs bring her much joy! Winny also LOVES walks and car rides, but will definitely lead the way if you let her, so she will need someone who can help show her what's acceptable and what's not. She loves company, so a dog friend would be very beneficial to her in her new home. When Winny is by herself, it takes her a few minutes to calm in her crate. It's not the crate she dislikes. It's not being where you are. This silly girl even sleeps in her crate with the command "nap", and will even let you get your beauty rest at night. Speaking of commands, this smart little girl knows "sit", "come", "leave it", and "place". She loves to play and squeaky toys are her favorite! Winny is potty trained like a big girl. However, open the door and she will run out quickly, so be sure you don't open just any door without caution, or Winny will show her way out! Winny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Included in Winnys adoption are 3 free training sessions via Dayton Dog Den to help transition her into her new home! She would also benefit from doggie daycare, so they have also graciously offered 3 days of that as well! If Winny seems like the right fit for you, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt to apply! Her adoption fee is regularly $285, but to celebrate our 14th anniversary, Winny's adoption fee is half off during the month of April. We believe she is a year and a half and a Boxer Whippet mix. She's around 35 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: $350 (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 $350 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!

Story
Upon finding this beautiful pitbull mix, I named her Kissy-Face because she has a beautiful face. Not to mention she has a beautiful demeanor, very friendly and, love other animals and, is trained to the max. I found her roaming for about 2 weeks on Amherst & Princeton Drive in Dayton. The reason I cannot adopt her is I have 2 dogs & a cat and, I already feel overwhelmed. I want this dog to have a wonderful life because, she's full of life. I have asked the residents where I found her if she's someone's dog and, all have said NO. I cannot stress enough how well trained & well behave she is. This is truly a dream dog who needs a good family to adopt her.
