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!!

We adopted Charlie when he was one and he’s always been a really good easy dog with a very mild behavior. He’s 9 years old and loves to lounge around and lay in the sun. I have 2 kids and he’s always been very good and gentle with them. We need to find him a good home because some of us here have allergies that are getting bad from the dog unfortunately.

Story
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. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters.

Meet Petey, a three-legged bundle of love! Petey is looking for a forever home where he can share his endless snuggles and gentle spirit. This sweet boy may only have three legs, but his heart is full of love, and he’s ready to become your best friend. Here are a few of our favorite things about Petey: Loves to Lounge - If you’re searching for the ultimate cuddle buddy, Petey is your guy. He’s a certified couch potato who will gladly spend his day curled up next to you. Affection Enthusiast - Head rubs, booty scratches, Petey can’t get enough. He’ll nuzzle his way into your heart (and lap). Quiet - Petey is a quiet soul. The only time you’ll hear his voice is when he’s dreaming. Sometimes his little tongue pokes out just a bit, making his sleep even more adorable. Dog Friendly - While he isn’t the most active pup, Petey enjoys hanging out with other dogs and sometimes tries to join the fun. He’s easy-going and always happy to have company. The Perfect Shadow - Petey loves being close to his favorite person. Wherever you go, he’ll follow, offering you his steady loving presence as your most loyal sidekick. Pogo Petey, as his foster family calls him, hops around bringing a spark of joy to everyone who meets him. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and unique companion, Petey is waiting for you to welcome him home. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes.

Story
Hi, I’m Spice, and I’m looking for my forever family. I may be 5 years old, but I still have lots of puppy energy. I love to give kisses to everyone and get really excited when I meet someone new. I need a patient family who will remind me that it is not polite to jump on people or be mouthy. I am very smart, but I am still learning my manners! I am house-broken but prefer to not be crated. As a matter of fact, I consider escaping a crate a challenge that I usually accomplish. To keep me from hurting myself, my foster mom keeps me in a gated-off room where I can sleep on the couch and play with my toys when she has to leave. I’m a good girl while she is gone. My foster home has cats, but we haven’t become friends yet because they don’t really like dogs. I get along with other dogs and have participated in play groups with dogs my size. Sometimes I can play a little rough, so I like older kids who won’t be intimidated by my energy. I really want a family and home of my own. Would you give me a chance to be your new best friend?

He is a great listener who loves to please people and be rewarded with pets and treats. Bello is very food-motivated and will sit and wait patiently to earn rewards. He is crate-trained and does well walking on a leash. Bello believes that he is a lap dog and has no reservations about crawling in your lap and snuggling whenever possible.

Whitney is in a foster home. To meet her, contact Rachael at 440-773-0270 Whitney's adoption comes with a free year of baths and grooming from Kismet K9 grooming in Berea! Whitney isn't just looking for someone to dance with; she's also searching for the perfect snuggle buddy! She's the ideal combination of playful and laid-back, making her a wonderful companion for anyone seeking both excitement and relaxation. This sweet girl adores children and loves all humans, but she's "Saving all her Love for You" and prefers to be the only pet in the home. Whitney excels as a car rider, is house trained, and crate trained, although she doesn't need to stay in a crate when left alone. She's mastered basic commands like sit and down, making her a joy to train and interact with. Here's what Whitney's foster has to say about her: "Whitney is a loving, affectionate companion. She greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and a request for lots of pets! She enjoys going for walks and car rides, and she's especially fond of food and treats. While she enjoys playing with toys, Whitney's favorite pastime is snuggling up with you for some love and affection. She's not a fan of loud noises or screaming and prefers to hide. Whitney has a charming low rumble instead of barking. She's housebroken and comfortable in a crate. If you're ready to welcome a devoted and affectionate companion into your life, Whitney is waiting to meet you! Contact Rachael today to arrange a meeting with this loving pup.

Story
We rescued Bunny when she was just eight weeks old. She was found in a trash bag and brought to an adoption center where we adopted her. She has been spayed, microchipped, up to date on shots, and all records are included. She is an incredibly loving puppy, great with kids, housebroken, not destructive or anything. The reason we have to rehome her is we have an older dog who is just not adjusting well to her being here and it’s unfair for them both. She is also crate trained and her crate will come with her. Bunny is the perfect pet for anyone who loves an energetic fun loving dog who will also be your best friend and snuggle you with kisses. She’s really a beautiful sweetheart and we would love the perfect family to find a perfect best friend in her.

Story
Hello! I'm roscoe, a 3 year old male whose ready for his forever home. I'm a very sweet and loving boy who loves cuddles and kisses. I really love any stuffed animal type of toy. I walk really well and listen to commands. I am very goofy and love to play. However I may need some time to decompress since I've been moved around a little. I might get confused. It will take a little time for me to warm up to the sweet side of me, so please be patient and give me a little space to adjust. Being an only dog to be spoiled would be best as well. I don't really like being petted by strangers, it scares me. But that's okay. I'm really worth the extra effort. I just need the right people to find me. Thank you for considering me to be part of your family!
