Story
Mako is ready for his forever home 💙 He may be the type of puppy that makes you wonder why you got a puppy at times, but those ones always end up being the best ones! You are going to learn so much as you walk through life with his silly, clumsy little fella by your side. You also won’t go a single day without laughing at something ridiculous he’ll do, life is much more fun with a Mako in it. He’s the epitome of a class clown, and is looking for a forever home with someone that doesn’t take life too seriously. If you’re looking for puppy perfection, please continue your search. He IS super fun though. He can be trusted to self entertain and as much of a baby shark as he can be, he leaves non dog intended items alone. He’s incredibly social, almost too social at times, and isnt afraid to let you (and everyone else) know he feels left out. He is not shy, nor will he be afraid of or ignore your guests. He has no issues with being alone for a work day, and sleeps through the night only vocalizing when he is up and ready to go out. He travels well, loves his car crate. Has been enjoying getting out for neighborhood walks. He’s busy and drivey and would probably excel as a sport dog, with consideration for his missing limb (not that it slows him down any). This dog is smart. He’s the kind of smart that you have to put to good use and challenge daily. He’s a wizard with a food toy and will help you test all your at home enrichment ideas. As smart as he is, he’s also a bit of an airhead. The amount of times he falls, misses the intended jump, runs into a door or straight into your legs per day will leave you wondering if he lost a few brain cells along with his leg. He means well, but bless his heart. He’d be best suited for a home with humans who are sturdy on their feet and not a fall risk. He’ll do okay in a home with dogs if they are extremely tolerant of his exuberance and full contact play style. Please don’t subject your senior dog to him. They deserve peace that does not exist with him. He runs through life with an open mouth, and while we are getting better, parts of your dog (or cat) may still end up in there. I would prefer his forever home either not have stairs, or have stairs that have carpeting/treads. Same goes for flooring, rugs will help on wood floors as he does slip and we want to protect his other limbs and joints at all costs. Mako is a little love, but he’s still learning how to dog in a way that doesn’t raise your blood pressure. He’ll need you to cut him some slack as he continues to learn boundaries. Not all dogs learn appropriate behaviors at the appropriate time, but we’re trying to catch up! While the drunk frat boy does still show up at times, ive seen so much improvement over the last month or so. He truly gets better and easier to live with each day and I feel like he can definitely be successful in a new place. He’s about 6 months old, 30lbs, fully vetted and ready to be your best friend! He knows his name, sit, down, has an amazing recall, hand target, knows which door to ask to go out from, and keeps his crate clean. I refuse to sugar coat things and act like he’s not a puppy because that helps no one. But if you’re still with me and think he’s the one for you, apply at mercysdoorpetrescue.org. Thank you for considering my little Mako man! 🦈

Story
Pork Chop was rescued from a local shelter where he was due to be euthanized for space. Thanks to his foster, he was able to be given a second chance! This handsome, happy guy loves to run and play. He can be a bit of a rough and tumble player and can be a bit enthusiastic at times, but he’s working on it! Pork Chop has done well with dog friends, but should be in a home without cats. He is strong but super smart so with some fine tuning and training, he will have the walking skills to match his great personality. We are so glad Pork Chop made it out of the shelter and can’t wait to see who he chooses as his best friend for life. If you think you could be the perfect fit for him, apply at mercysdoorpetrescue.org.

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 Zero is a 6-month-old male Pit Bull mix weighing about 35 pounds, and he is as gentle as they come. He does great with other dogs and kids and has not yet met cats. Zero is crate trained and doing well with potty training, especially when given frequent opportunities to go outside. Although Zero is still learning how to signal when he needs to go outside, with patience, reassurance, and regular potty breaks, he truly tries his best to keep the house clean and continues to improve every day. This boy is extremely affectionate but takes a minute or two to build trust. Once he feels safe, he becomes an absolute love bug who wants nothing more than to cuddle close—he’ll happily be your personal weighted blanket! He loves all toys and is highly food-motivated, which makes him eager and willing during training sessions. Zero does have a fear of bathrooms, likely from something in his past, but he is making progress and slowly learning how to be brave. He’s still learning his name and basic commands, but with treats involved, Zero is a quick and enthusiastic learner. Sweet, sensitive, and full of love, Zero is looking for a patient, kind home where he can continue building confidence and shower his people with affection. 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.

Figgy is crate trained and currently working on potty training, making steady progress. Figgy walks nicely on a leash and already knows sit and stay. He’s a very sweet boy who loves Benebones and stuffed toys and is always eager for attention. Don’t let his small stature fool you—Figgy can jump surprisingly high! One of Figgy’s favorite things is going for car rides… so much so that he’ll happily try to hop into any open car, whether it’s yours or not! Above all, Figgy is extremely loyal, loving, and cuddly, and he’s known to hand out plenty of big kisses. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with energy, affection, and endless love to give, Figgy could be your perfect match.

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 Yogi is a 2-year-old, 68-pound gentle giant with a heart of pure gold. He is a quiet, sensitive boy who’s happiest simply being near his people. He doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to rest, a calm environment, and someone who understands that love can be quiet and steady. Because of past trauma, Yogi would prefer to be the only dog in his home. He’s not aggressive—he actually gets along with friendly dogs who visit—but sharing his space full-time is stressful for him. What he really needs is a home where he can feel secure and know he won’t have to compete for comfort or attention. Yogi is a sweet soul who doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly without a family after spending the first two years of his life in a home. He’s grieving, but still hopeful. His Christmas wish is simple: a forever family who will give him the love, patience, and stability he’s been missing. Yogi is potty trained, crate trained and does well on a leash. He enjoys the simple things in life — lounging in the sun, exploring the yard, and spending time with his doggy friends. Does this sound like he could be the perfect fit for you!? Apply today!

Jane

Pit Bull Terrier Shar Pei

Female, 4 yrs
Seville, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Poor Jane came to us in need of an emergency surgery. She had a pyometra, which for those who don’t know, is an infection of the uterus that can happen in females who are not spayed. It is fatal if an emergency spay is not performed to remove the infection. It took her some time, but sweet Jane has finally made her recovery and is ready for her next adventure. She has discovered a passion for chasing balls around in the play yard……. and biting trees for some reason. She was attacked by 2 other dogs in the past, so she has a lot of reservations around other dogs and is said to be reactive with them. Since she has been here, we have not had any issues, but a home without other dogs may be ideal for her. However, it may not be out of the question if there are multiple meet and greets and slow introductions. We are not sure how she does with cats or children. She loves to give kisses though! Jane has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)

Story
Poor Beef Cake was found abandoned in a park. Someone kind saw him and brought him to the dog shelter. It was noted on his intake paperwork that he was limping. After he was transferred to us, we took him to get x-rays which revealed a serious fracture in his femur. He had to have a surgery to put in pins and plates so the bone could properly heal. He was so sweet and gentle through the entire process, even through all the discomfort. Beef Cake has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)

Story
Bubba came to us severely underweight and flea infested. It took him quite some time of love, food, and skin medication but we have finally got him back into better condition. He is a very sweet boy who loves to play. He seems to be a little bit dog selective, at least with male dogs. Bubba does have mild hip dysplasia, so he will likely need to be kept on joint supplements for the rest of his life. Bubba has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)
