My name is Reese and you are sure to love me to pieces. Don`t let my age fool you, I want nothing more than a yard to run in and a ball to chase.

If you think I could be the peanut butter to your cup, come break me out of the ARC!

Hi, I’m Scrat and I would love to be your new fur-ever friend. Ask staff about my favorite toy. Spoiler alert, its a ball! Staff see me playing with my favorite ball all day and carrying it with me wherever I go. I am looking for someone to make me their favorite thing to bring everywhere too. I am pawsitively sure we can raise the woof. I would like to share my treat-o’s, to let you know I’m going to be mutts about you.

Hi, I`m Peanut and I`m nutty for you. It doesn`t take much to get me out of my shell. I go nuts for pets, cuddles, and play time. Peanuts and chocolate might be a great combo but I think Peanut and you sounds a lot better to me. I might not wear a monocle and a top hat but I`m cool guy. I`m ready to plant myself in your bed.

They call me Teddy! Not only `cause of my coloring, but because I love a good cuddle! I am learning `sit` but keep in mind, I am a high energy guy who loves LONG walks (maybe hikes?) and to play with toys! If you are looking for a `bear` hugs and lots of kisses, then I am your `hunny!` I cannot `bear` to be without a family for long, so just know I will `stuff` your life full of love. If you are looking for a pawsome friend to love and take adventures with! Come visit me at the ARC!

Story
Hey guys! My name is Sprite. I have been waiting for my furever home since November of 2023. In that time I have started showing signs of being potty trained, have started learning how to `sit` for a treat, and learned what kind of toys and treats I like. I walk pretty good on leash too. Everyone always tells me how cute my curly tail is but nobody has taken me home. I am only 4 years old so I have a lot of life to live, and a whole lot of love to give. Looking for a hiking partner? Check. Looking for a bestfriend to vent to? Check. I am a jack of all trades and would love to meet you and see if we are the perfect fit. Come see me at the ARC!

Story
There`s no place like home! There`s no place like home! Glinda said my name is Ruby becuase I have magical powers in making friends and saving you from danger. I love being the best girl here at the ARC but I would really like to go back to Kanas now. I have been in the land of ARC since 2023. I am ready to find my forever home. I would love to play tug, share your treats and sleep in your bed, just like Toto. I am a little older but as they say the older the wiser. I like getting to hang with my favorite Munchkins and love to go for walks on the yellow brick road. I have a smart brain, a big heart, and lots of courage.

Story
Meet Boss! Boss is 4 year old medium to high energy (chills out well after a bit), loves other dogs and all the humans. This poor guy was left at the shelter for several months and was finally rescued by his foster mama! Boss loves hanging out with his foster family, and also loves meeting new people. He loves his puppy siblings and wants to be where they are! He loves snuggling up next to you on the couch, or laying on the floor chewing on his favorite bone. He absolutely loves being outside, either playing in the back yard or going on walks! He gets along great with other dogs but doesn't seem to like cats. He is potty trained and crate trained. Boss has such a happy personality and just wants to spend time with his people! He will definitely be ready for an adventure, but is okay with staying home with you! If you think Boss would be the perfect addition to your family, please fill out our adoption application. https://www.coopersafeplace.org/application-page

Story
We adopted puddin from the shelter as a rescue were unsure if her story but can guess it was bad. She’s very shy and does take a second to warm up but she’s so so so sweet and very adaptable. She loves to run outside and play but she also loves to be a big old couch potato. Good with cats and good with babies. She’s clumsy and not very spatially aware haha. She adores going to walk the nature trails and can probably hike better than you. She’s easily frightened so she does need patience. Men and tall people make her uneasy but she is by no means reactive. She just cowers a little bit. Owning her has been one of the most heart filling experiences I’ve ever gotten to be a part off. She’s a soul dog. I unfortunately and being forced to move and can not take her. She needs a good loving home. She deserves a good loving home, sweet girl has been through so much.

These pups are in Dayton, Ohio too!

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.
