Story
*** BONDED PAIR; EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS ** 'Lil' (aka 'Lillian') and 'Phil' (aka 'Phillip') are 2 of the most wonderful, affectionate, sweet and joyful pooches we have ever known. Lil is a 6.5 yr. old, 65-70 lb. fawn brindle Staffordshire terrier female and Phil is a 6 yr old, 80-85 lb. Staffordshire terrier/curly coated/Chesapeake Bay retriever mix male. They are the best of friends and make a tremendous duo. They are affectionate, kind, gentle, loving cuddle bugs with a silly, playful side. Incredibly eager to please, obedient, loyal and attentive. They are like sunshine on a rainy day; you simply cannot be in a sad mood around them. Words cannot justify how truly wonderful they are; people adore them when they meet their sweet, kind natures. All they want to do is to love and be loved. One of the greatest duos we've ever known, each being super special in their own right but combined they are magic. They compliment each other so well, being each other's anchor and best friend, they deserve to continue to live together and spread their combined joy. Lil is spayed; Phil is is neutered. Both dogs are fully vaccinated, de-wormed, have been on monthly heart-worm preventative, crate-trained and house-trained. This rescue does not do it's own 'shots' ... all medical care is done by a licensed, certified Veterinarian or done under their direct supervision (ex., monthly heartworm treatments &/or deworming). All of our rescued dogs have been on a nutritional regime which includes high quality food and supplements (ex., probiotics; vitamins, etc). This is done to bolster their immune systems and overall health; the result benefits their adoptive family with a pooch who has a lustrous coat, bright shiny eyes, and happy and healthy disposition.

She is crate and house trained, good with young children. She currently does well being crated for 4-6 hours. She would need to be the only dog in the household as she is dog aggressive, that being said no kitties in her future either. She currently has a fenced yard for exercise as she does not do well on a leash. Her current owners would like to see her go to a home where she will have more space and time with her humans. She does have some anxiety and takes medication prior to vet visits, bathing and home nail trimming. Occasional seasonal allergies(itching) treated with Zyrtec. She has previously had successful bilateral knee surgery and is currently healthy. She is much loved and cared for and her present family is hoping for the right situation to come along for her. Piper is not a Rose's Rescue dog, we are posting her in hopes of helping her family find her a new home. her adoption fee will be $50. She is located in the Cuyahoga Falls 44221 area.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I am Remi the reddish tan of 40lbs and 2&1/2 years,       I was rescued by a man from a home, that could not feed me. I had been tied outside, with 2 other pitbulls and Fendi, the Yorkie. Fendi and I became best buddies. If you are looking for two dogs, we are a great pair. We entertain each other. I am good with adults, children, and dogs. I am a very loving smaller sized girl. If you have a soft spot for pits, I am one of those, that is a sweetheart. I have been alone enough, so only 4 hours please. I am not a runner, so fence not necessary. However, walks will be. I am a young girl. I love to run around the edge of the pond and jump with all 4 legs in the air, to chase frogs.I also am fascinated with the stream out of the garden hose. I will bite at it and play, until I am soaking wet. I love to play fetch and an auto ball launcher would be great.  Please consider me to have my very own home.xoxoxo If interested, you can easily fill out an adoption application by clicking here:  adoption application For those viewing on Petfinder, if you are interested in adopting this animal please click on More About Rose's Rescue, you may fill out adoption application from there.

  Introducing sweet and adorable Nova!! This happy 2-3 year old girl is looking for a family that loves to hike and then hit McDonalds for an ice-cream cone! She is very food motivated, and she absolutely loves training sessions because boiled chicken is sooo yummy!! We are working on lady like leash manners while on walks, "leave it", "stay", "come", and today I taught Nova how to catch a frisbee because she loves water, and maybe she can be a dock dog!! I still need to test her with other dogs, but the animals shelter she came from said she seemed to be ok with them. I will still request a proper meet and greet if you have a dog already. Cats??? NO CLUE!!!  If you would like to be considered to adopt this wonderful dog, please fill out an application at pawsandprayers.org. Her adoption fee will be $250, and will include all up to date vaccinations, heartworm/flea/tick prevention, dewormer, microchip, and her spay, and endless love from Nova!!!!!  November 23, 2025, 1:49 pm
