Story
Onyx is a 4 year old neutered male. He's about 86 lbs. He's lovable, calm, smart, and a good walking buddy. He has 3 human siblings at home ages 11, 15, and 16 and 1 dog sibling at home. He's good with human cousins as well that are younger and although he is large and strong, he just wants to give a lot of kisses. He loves being parked on a couch or a comfy dog bed, loves to shred a stuffed animal or just gnaw on a bone and he's content. He's a good guard dog and will bark if anyone is at the front door. He will keep your backyard free of pesky rodents, and currently used to having a fenced in yard. Does well with an e-collar, and although he's been living with a sister dog at home it's best he goes into a home where he is the only dog. He is crate trained but also trusted in the house loose at night or if you're leaving home. Thank you for considering!!

**COME MEET ME at our next ADOPTION EVENT on Saturday, September 14 at Tractor Supply, 24100 Royalton Road in Columbia Station from 11 am - 2 pm** Hi, I’m Spice, and I’m looking for my real forever family. This is my second time at MBR, and I was pretty confused when my family dropped me off. I was adopted 4 years ago, but recently returned through no fault of my own. Although I am 5 years old, I still act like a puppy because I was never properly trained. I promise I’m a good dog… I just need a patient family who will help me work on puppy behaviors like jumping and mouthing. In return, I will give you an endless amount of love for the rest of my life. I get really hyper when I’m taken out of my cage, but once I am on a leash, I behave well! I am potty trained, and will keep my crate clean as long as you take away my water bowl before bed. I get along with other dogs and have participated in playgroups with dogs my size. Will you give me a chance to be your new best friend? All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes.

**COME MEET ME at our next ADOPTION EVENT on Saturday, September 14 at Tractor Supply, 24100 Royalton Road in Columbia Station from 11 am - 2 pm** Meet Venus, a divine beauty on earth who embodies all the qualities of the goddess she’s named after—love, playfulness, and an irresistible charm. Like the goddess of love and beauty, Venus enchants everyone she meets with her sweet nature and joyful spirit. This 2-year-old Pittie mix is always ready to shower you with affection and loyalty, becoming the brightest star in your life. Venus doesn’t just play; she brings magic to every game. Whether she’s chasing toys or romping with other dogs, she’ll keep you smiling with her boundless energy. But even goddesses need their rest, and with a little gentle persuasion, Venus loves to curl up for some cozy cuddles, reminding you that love is her true domain. Potty trained and eager to find her forever temple, Venus’s playful nature sometimes gets the best of her, and in moments of excitement, she can get a little nippy or jumpy. But fear not, her exuberance isn’t a storm to be feared—just a little goddess needing some guidance to channel her energy. With a patient and loving hand, she’ll learn her manners and become even more divine. Venus will thrive in a home with older children who can keep up with her lively playfulness and help her reign in her enthusiastic leaps. Her new family should be ready to offer gentle discipline and lots of love to guide this spirited goddess to her best self. With Venus, you’re not just adopting a dog—you’re welcoming a goddess of love into your home. She’ll play hard, love harder, and make you feel like the most adored human on earth. Are you ready to be blessed by Venus? All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility.

Story
Hi! My name is Lego and I’m a 4-month old happy-go-lucky puppy. I have a foster brother who I absolutely love to wrestle with. I normally lose our wrestling matches because my paws are so big that I trip over myself. My foster mom thinks it’s the funniest thing. I am still working on commands, but I will definitely sit for a treat. I’m almost completely potty trained, too! I sleep in my crate but it is not my favorite place to be. When I can’t see my foster mom, I get a little upset and will bark. She keeps telling me that my crate is my safe place and I’m getting more and more comfortable with it, but still need some work. After a long day of playing, I love to cuddle with my favorite people. If you are looking for a new puppy to bring some excitement into your life, fill out an application ASAP!

Story
**COME MEET ME at our next ADOPTION EVENT on Saturday, September 14 at Tractor Supply, 24100 Royalton Road in Columbia Station from 11 am - 2 pm** Senna is energetic, playful, and LOVES to wrestle with her four-legged foster brothers. She enjoys playing fetch, chasing the resident dogs around the yard, rolling on her back in the grass, or just lying in the sun chewing a bone. When she’s not busy playing, she loves to snuggle and can’t seem to get enough pets and hugs. She rarely barks and everyone always comments on how quiet she is. She does a great job keeping her crate clean and doesn’t mind sleeping in her crate at night. She does her business outside and has only had a few accidents in the house. She does not signal when she needs to go out, so she will need to be kept on a schedule. Senna still has a lot of puppy energy and would do well with a patient family to help her work on puppy behaviors like jumping and mouthing. If you are interested in adding this little love bug to your family, fill out an application ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes.

**COME MEET ME at our next ADOPTION EVENT on Saturday, September 14 at Tractor Supply, 24100 Royalton Road in Columbia Station from 11 am - 2 pm** Hey there! I’m Fred, or Big Head Fred as many like to call me. I’m a gentle giant who was found malnourished on the streets of Cleveland. Personally, I think I’m quite the catch – I let you know when I need to go outside to potty, obey simple commands like “sit” and “down”, and will stay off the furniture. You also don’t have to worry about me if I’m left loose in the house for extended periods of time. I get along with other dogs and kids of all ages! I’m a slow trotter on walks and like to mosey around. Overall, I’m a quiet fellow who enjoys chewing toys, watching squirrels, and getting a relaxing spa day once in a while. I’m very treat-motivated, but finding my furever family would be the best treat in the world. If you are interested in meeting me, fill out an application ASAP!
