Story
We found Brutus in a trailer park after he was abandoned by his original owner. He's a young dog, but he hates being left alone and he has some behavioral issues. (gets excited and will jump on you without any warning which can be a little scary to some people) He loves chewing things. He's a great walking dog, always on high alert. He's a sweet boy, but a little slow. All he needs is someone who has enough time on their hands to train him. His groin area may need surgery that we cannot afford. He has a permanent "lipstick" and he pees in a different direction. He cannot sit properly and will lay on his butt rather than a normal sit pose like a regular dog. He cannot tolerate any wet food. Ultimately, we are already breaking the bank with our elderly dog Oakley that is nearing the end stages of her life and we would like to focus on her health during this difficult time as we are also moving in a week.

Story
This happy girl came bounding into my front yard over 30 days ago. I was struck by how sweet and trusting she was and her very blue eyes. She is not in an ideal situation as she is kept safe in my basement away from my own dog who is aggressive. I just spent $320 at the vet to get meds to clear the sinus infection which is now gone. She has been cleared for heartworm worm and stool worms. She received rabies vaccine. My very bad back cannot handle a strong dog. She needs to have her forever owner...she is so deserving. She does #1 & 2 on a leash. I'd advise you not to leave her unattended if you have a chain link fence, walk her instead as she is a climber. I am asking $75 to insure that the person adopter is financial capable of properly caring for her. She understands commands...sit, stay and come. We are almost there on slow down , to discouragr her from leash pulling.

Story
We adopted Corvin from the ARC. He does not get along with our cats. Bc it's been just over 30 days they will not take him back and were told we had to rehome him ourselves. He is dog friendly. Great with kids! (We have a 17 14 and 5 yr old) we have a care plan on him through Banfield at Petsmart that I believe can be transferred into your name. He's a super sweet boy but just isn't a good fit for our home. He is microchipped UTD on shots and crate trained. Knows basic commands like sit shake and plays fetch..Any other questions please ask.

Story
Hi, my name is Misty Blue and I am a spitfire, but in a good way. First, I am beautiful, but that can’t be all you love about me. I came into the rescue very pregnant and gave birth within 36 hours of arriving. I was a very protective, good momma, and learned to trust my foster mom slowly. Once my puppies were weaned and adopted, we set out to make me the best version of myself. I am an athlete through and through and would excel at agility, hiking with a backpack and anything and everything that involves a job. I can jump several feet into the air, climb most things and I balance like a champ. I am stubborn, and bonding and trust are very, very important to me. I need daily interaction, exercise and mental stimulation to be happy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sprinkler and will play in it, biting at the water for as long as you will let me. I also swim! And my favorite game may be parkour. I'll climb ladders, go down slides...anything physical I am totally game. Then, I'lll happily snuggle in for a nap. I spent two weeks at a board and train, where I began learning how to play appropriately with other dogs and meet some new people. I am good with people, and am good in public, so training can continue anywhere! An experienced owner is a must, as I am smarter than most dogs (and people) and need a firm but fun family. I chase all small creatures and will need a good fence to securely run my energy out. If you are looking for a workout buddy, someone to go on adventures with, then lay on the couch to watch a movie when all the excitement is done for the day, I may be your girl. ADOPTION FEE: $175 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained). ADOPTER: Breed/Working dog experience a must BIRTHDAY: 1/25/2020 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Dog tolerant in public, learning to have fun and play DOGS IN HOME: male or solo CATS: No KIDS: Yes, over 10 A $100 hold fee is required for approved applications and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $175 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25. DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response. PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!

Story
Hi, my name is Tom Bodett and I’ll leave the light on for ya…. In all seriousness, I, along with another dog, were abandoned at a local hotel and some awesome police officers got us to MVPC. I am a beautiful boy, and very devoted to my people. I love to play, and am quite active, but I am also a lover through and through. I love people and my only goal is to make you happy. While I get along with other dogs outside the home, inside the home, I get nervous around them. I am working on this in professional training! I am very strong and will need a family that will continue my training and take me on adventures to get my energy out, but dog beds and jammies are also much appreciated! I have THE best facial expressions and will literally try anything with you and for you. I really am that sweet and devoted! I cannot, however, swim…I tried and it didn’t go well. I sank. It wasn’t pretty and kinda embarrassing. But don’t worry, I’ll still happily travel with you…hotels with pools and all. I am currently on seizure medicine for a condition called “fly strike syndrome” where I would look like I was trying to catch a fly but there is nothing there. With the medicine, I no longer do this! It runs about $50 a month, but it definitely helps me be the best version of myself! ADOPTION FEE: $175 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $175 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ADOPTER: Dog experience, must be able to continue medication BIRTHDAY: 3/26/21 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: preferred an only dog, as I get nervous CATS: Yes CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25. DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER INQUIRY/CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response.
