Story
Meet Eyeore 💙 Eyeore has been with us for about two months after being found abandoned in a cage on our property, and despite such a heartbreaking start, he has proven to be nothing short of amazing. This boy’s resilience is matched only by his incredible capacity for love. Eyeore is the snuggliest dog you’ll ever meet. He has no concept of personal space and will happily climb into your lap, gently push you over, and make sure you’re giving him all the affection he deserves. His love is big, warm, and constant. Eyeore does have some pretty significant allergies, and his skin is still healing, but that doesn’t slow him down or make him any less lovable. With continued care, comfort, and a consistent routine, he continues to improve—and through it all, his sweet nature never wavers. He is truly a standout companion and would make an incredible addition to a family. Eyeore does wonderfully with other animals and thrives in a home filled with kindness, patience, and cuddles. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving dog who will fill your home (and your lap) with affection, Eyeore is your guy. 🐾

He’s a true cuddle bug who enjoys being close to his people and soaking up all the love he can get. You might notice Morton’s intense stare—but don’t worry, it’s not mean at all. That’s just his soulful way of taking in the world around him and hoping you might be the one he’s been waiting for. Morton is ready to leave his past behind and find a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and spoiled the way he deserves. Could that be with you? 🐾

Meet Lexi 💕 Lexi came to us with the help of our humane agent, and this sweet, silly girl has already stolen our hearts. She’s full of personality and joy, and it’s clear she’s so ready to leave her past behind and start the next chapter of her life. Lexi is still a little skinny, a quiet reminder of the tough battle she’s fought but don’t let that fool you. Her spirit is strong, her tail wags non stop, and her love for people shines through. She can’t wait to find her forever home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be spoiled the way she deserves. Lexi dreams of a home filled with love, comfy spots to nap, lots of affection, and plenty of good meals to help her fill out and thrive.

Story
This is Mickey, he is roughly 13 years old and is a snuggle bug. It’s my brothers dog and he is no longer being properly taken care by him. Mickey will go without food or water for days unless I notice and feed him. He is constantly left alone and locked in a mold filled basement because he aggressive with other dogs and can’t be around the others in our home. He has a severe allergy to fleas causing him to lose some of his hair on his butt. Mickey also suffers with separation anxiety and hates lawn mowers. He will chase and kill other wildlife like squirrels and opossums. He is great with cats and kids. If he is stressed he will nip kids but nothing hard. I feel really bad and just want him to be properly taken care of since he is currently getting neglected. I can’t take care of him cause I own another dog.

Story
Meet Winny, the new love of your life. Winny will love you right back with cuddles and being held. She loves kids and other dogs. Winny is a very excited greeter though, so a home with smaller children would need extra attention so she does not accidentally knock over a little one with her excitement. Winny also LOVES walks and car rides, but will definitely lead the way on a walk so she will need someone who can hold down the fort. So much love going around with Winny. When Winny is by herself at home it takes her a few minutes to calm in her crate, but she even sleeps in her crate, with the command "nap", at night to let you get your beauty rest. Speaking of commands, this smart little girl knows "sit" and "come". Squeaky toys are her favorite and Winny is potty trained like a big girl. Winny still neeeds a slow feeder for meals since she eats with gusto. Winny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. If Winny seems like the right fit for you, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt to apply! Her adoption fee is $285. We believe she may be a year old old Boxer Whippet mix and she's around 35-40 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: $300 (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 $300 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!
