Story

Before her rescue, Ripley was a devoted mom to a litter of puppies. Now, it’s finally her turn to be pampered and spoiled. She loves people and greets everyone with tail wags and enthusiasm—sometimes a little too much excitement, but with some gentle reminders, she’s quick to learn. Ripley is a spirited, high-energy 3-year-old who’s ready to find a forever home that matches her zest for life! This athletic girl lives for movement—she loves to run, play, and will gleefully destroy any toy that crosses her path. She’s fantastic with other dogs and adores children, making her a great match for an active family with kids or playful pups. Ripley thrives in a home that’s always on the go—whether it’s hikes, runs, or backyard zoomies, she’s all in. A quiet, laid-back lifestyle just isn’t her thing; she’s looking for a household that’s as energetic as she is. Ripley is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands like “sit.” She’s also super smart and very treat-motivated, so training is a breeze with the right snacks and consistency. Important note: Ripley cannot be in a home with cats or small animals. She has a strong prey drive and takes her “squirrel patrol” duties very seriously—your yard will be rodent-free! If your home is filled with energy, love, and adventure, Ripley just might be your perfect match. Ready to make her part of your pack? ##2223382##

Story

MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Ozzie is a 7-year-old, 60-pound Pit mix with the sweetest heart and the softest soul. This handsome boy is crate trained, potty trained, and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids — truly the full package! He’s currently working on his leash manners and already knows a few great commands like sit, down, and stay. While toys aren’t really his thing yet, he’s definitely intrigued by the sound of a good squeaker. Ozzie is a love bug through and through, happiest when he’s close to his people — he’d love nothing more than to be your shadow (and he’s happy to share his love with a family of any size!). The first part of Ozzie’s life wasn’t what he deserved, as shown by a long scar down his spine and the way he occasionally ducks when a hand moves too quickly. But despite it all, his gentle, trusting nature shines through. He’s truly a picture of forgiveness and love. In his foster home, Ozzie has been an absolute dream guest — calm, affectionate, and endlessly sweet. He’s working on curbing his excitement when greeting people (sometimes he jumps or paws for attention), and he’s making amazing progress! Ozzie would thrive in a patient home where he can continue learning and feel safe, loved, and cherished every day. A home with someone who appreciates a super soft, living “weighted blanket” would be just perfect. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, the first thing to do is submit an application for approval. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the rescue location as it is a privately run boarding, training & grooming facility. Individual meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters.

This boy thrives with clear boundaries, consistent training, and someone who can be both firm and patient as he continues to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Parkour is: Dog friendly Cat friendly Toy obsessed Very treat motivated A champion leaf chaser A fan of long walks and big adventures Parkour is full of life, full of love, and full of potential.

Story

MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Yogi is a 2-year-old, 68-pound gentle giant with a heart of pure gold. He is a quiet, sensitive boy who’s happiest simply being near his people. He doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to rest, a calm environment, and someone who understands that love can be quiet and steady. Because of past trauma, Yogi would prefer to be the only dog in his home. He’s not aggressive—he actually gets along with friendly dogs who visit—but sharing his space full-time is stressful for him. What he really needs is a home where he can feel secure and know he won’t have to compete for comfort or attention. Yogi is a sweet soul who doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly without a family after spending the first two years of his life in a home. He’s grieving, but still hopeful. His Christmas wish is simple: a forever family who will give him the love, patience, and stability he’s been missing. Yogi is potty trained, crate trained and does well on a leash. He enjoys the simple things in life — lounging in the sun, exploring the yard, and spending time with his doggy friends. Does this sound like he could be the perfect fit for you!? Apply today!

Story

MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Meet Lucy a 6-pound Pit mix bourn around 9/16/25. She is a tiny-but-mighty pup with equal parts silly, sweet, and snuggly! This little girl is great with dogs, cats, and kids, and she loves having either a human or furry friend nearby—she’s not much of an independent player just yet. Lucy is vocal about her feelings, especially when it comes to the crate. She’ll protest going in, but once she settles, she sleeps through the night. As a young puppy, she’s still learning her potty habits and basic manners, but she immediately goes when she gets outside, which is a great start! This adorable noodle can fall asleep in any position, loves a cozy lap, and is a very good eater. She recently discovered the magic of heating vents and is utterly fascinated by them. When it comes to toys, Lucy is all in—squeaky, crinkly, tug toys, stuffed toys bigger than her… she loves them all, especially if it means a fun game of tug or tackling something twice her size. Lucy would do best with an active family who has children or other furry pets for her to play with! Lucy may be small, but her personality is huge! Fill out an application to meet this spunky pup ASAP! She is sure to be adopted fast!

Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com 💙 Meet Ray — the Sweetest Cuddle Bug You’ll Ever Know! 💙 Ray is a year and a half-year-old handsome Pitbull mix with movie-star eyeliner and the most adorably speckled, boopable nose. He’s not just cute—he’s a volunteer favorite who wins hearts everywhere he goes. Ray’s story began in a church parking lot, where he was found waiting for days after being abandoned by the only family he knew. At first, he was understandably shy, gently ducking his head when someone reached out—proof that he hadn’t always been shown kindness. But once Ray realized he was safe and loved, he blossomed into the affectionate, loyal, snuggly boy he was always meant to be. ✨ Ray’s Best Qualities: • Champion snuggler — the ultimate “Netflix and chill” buddy • Smart and eager to please — focuses beautifully during training, especially for treats • Independent when needed — happily entertains himself with toys • Great on leash — enjoys walks and adventures • House & crate trained — well-mannered and ready for home life • Ladies’ man — Ray gets along wonderfully with female dogs but prefers not to share his home with other males • Feline-free home needed — cats are not his cup of tea Ray is the perfect mix of adventure partner and cuddle companion. Whether you’re heading out for a fun-filled day or settling in for a cozy night, Ray is always ready to be right by your side. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a huge heart and an even bigger capacity for love, Ray is your guy. Apply today to meet the boy who’s been waiting so patiently for his forever family.
