Story
Before her rescue, Ripley was a devoted mom to a litter of puppies. Now, it’s finally her turn to be pampered and spoiled. She loves people and greets everyone with tail wags and enthusiasm—sometimes a little too much excitement, but with some gentle reminders, she’s quick to learn. Ripley is a spirited, high-energy 3-year-old who’s ready to find a forever home that matches her zest for life! This athletic girl lives for movement—she loves to run, play, and will gleefully destroy any toy that crosses her path. She’s fantastic with other dogs and adores children, making her a great match for an active family with kids or playful pups. Ripley thrives in a home that’s always on the go—whether it’s hikes, runs, or backyard zoomies, she’s all in. A quiet, laid-back lifestyle just isn’t her thing; she’s looking for a household that’s as energetic as she is. Ripley is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands like “sit.” She’s also super smart and very treat-motivated, so training is a breeze with the right snacks and consistency. Important note: Ripley cannot be in a home with cats or small animals. She has a strong prey drive and takes her “squirrel patrol” duties very seriously—your yard will be rodent-free! If your home is filled with energy, love, and adventure, Ripley just might be your perfect match. Ready to make her part of your pack? ##2223382##

Story
💙 Hi friends, I’m Tippy—but you can just call me Tip! 🐾 I’m about 5 years old, sweet as sugar, and yes… I’m a tripod! 🐘 Let’s just get that out of the way. I may be missing a leg, but I don’t need a “pitty” party—I just need a forever home. 🏡 I can run, zoom, and play with the best of them. In fact, I’m lightning fast 💨 (I just don’t have a front brake… so I do a cute little tuck-and-roll stop. You’ll laugh every time, I promise 😉). I’m also a pitbull—not a Rottweiler, I know! 🙃 But Halloween’s coming and I can be whatever I want 🎃👻. Honestly, all I want to be is your best friend. Here’s what I bring to the table: ✨ Sweet, cuddly girl who lives for belly rubs ✨ Great with kids 🥰 ✨ A world-class singer—I howl along to sirens like an angel 😇 ✨ Loyal, goofy, and full of love So why am I looking for a new home if I’m this amazing? Well… my family has loved me since I was just 6 months old. This is very hard on them, but over time I stopped getting along with my dog sister. We tried “family counseling” (training), but we just couldn’t work it out. My family finally realized it isn’t fair to keep us separate all the time, and they made the heartbreaking decision to find me the perfect new home. 💔 My dream family? ❤️ 👉 A home where I can be your one-and-only pup—or maybe live with a calm, submissive doggy brother. 👉 A yard where I can zoom and show off my amazing speed. 👉 Someone who will laugh at my silly antics, sing along with me, and love me for exactly who I am. The only things I’m missing right now are a forever home… and well, that one leg. But trust me, you’ll never miss it when you see how full of love my heart is. 🐾 If you think I could be your girl, please apply at realrottweilerrescue.com and send us a message once you’re approved. 📍 Fostered in Gahanna, OH 💙 Waiting (impatiently!) for my forever family.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Elyria, OH
Size

Not good with kids, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adopted from a shelter he is estimated to be about 1-2, he’s not fixed but is up to date on all shots. He has gotten comfortable at home and has recently started showing more of an aggressive side with growling towards my 2 year old daughter so ideally unless he gets proper training I would say probably not good with kids. He does great on walks loves treats loves to cuddle. He’s a very handsome boy takes treats very gentle he just needs some training as he’s still a young pup. Loves to play with toys loves car rides! He’s definitely a boy that loves to be outside!

Story
Bruno went to Hollywood Feed in Avon and he was the star of the show!! We just can't believe he is still HOMELESS! Bruno is approximately 3-4 yrs old, Pit/Boxer mix, 54 lbs. This guy was abandoned in Avon Lake, no one claimed him or recognized him? ;-(. We had him neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and he tested negative for HW. He is a great dog! Bruno is housebroken and crate-trained. We named him Bruno because he has the moves like Bruno Mars HA!! He already seems to know his new name;-) He is very treat-motivated and knows his basic commands. He likes other dogs and loves to act like a HAM!! He has a BIG smile and awesome personality. He completed his "board and train" program and is ready for his forever home or temporary foster! He does have a lot of energy so will need an active owner. If you are interested in Bruno, please submit an online application, so we can learn a little about you to make sure Bruno would be a good match for you and your family. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $ 100.00 If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with the board and train expenses and medical expenses. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Bruno, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!

Story
MBR holds monthly adoption events on the 2nd Saturday of every month at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road from 11 am - 2 pm. Questions can be emailed to rescue@mbrohio.com Ozzie is a 7-year-old, 60-pound Pit mix with the sweetest heart and the softest soul. This handsome boy is crate trained, potty trained, and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids — truly the full package! He’s currently working on his leash manners and already knows a few great commands like sit, down, and stay. While toys aren’t really his thing yet, he’s definitely intrigued by the sound of a good squeaker. Ozzie is a love bug through and through, happiest when he’s close to his people — he’d love nothing more than to be your shadow (and he’s happy to share his love with a family of any size!). The first part of Ozzie’s life wasn’t what he deserved, as shown by a long scar down his spine and the way he occasionally ducks when a hand moves too quickly. But despite it all, his gentle, trusting nature shines through. He’s truly a picture of forgiveness and love. In his foster home, Ozzie has been an absolute dream guest — calm, affectionate, and endlessly sweet. He’s working on curbing his excitement when greeting people (sometimes he jumps or paws for attention), and he’s making amazing progress! Ozzie would thrive in a patient home where he can continue learning and feel safe, loved, and cherished every day. A home with someone who appreciates a super soft, living “weighted blanket” would be just perfect. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, the first thing to do is submit an application for approval. All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the rescue location as it is a privately run boarding, training & grooming facility. Individual meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 7 years Adoption Fee: $250
