Story
Sage came to our rescue as an owner surrender. We know that she had been dumped by her owner on October 8th in Painesville, and found out that the owner had reluctantly just picked her up earlier that same day from the Euclid Animal Shelter. We don’t have any other background beyond that. She is in a foster home, and we are learning new things about her every day. She loves all people, she has a ton of puppy energy. She is working on learning manners, and basic commands.

Story
Queen will be 2 yrs old in January. She is an American Bully. We have had her since April 2024, She loves to play outside, explore the yard and chase her ball. All of her shots are up to date until May 2026, and she has been spayed. She loves to play with my sister's dog of the same size (70 lbs) and displays a lot of energy when playing. She has had 2 weeks of obedience training earlier this year, and we usually take her into our backyard with only her e-collar. We travel sometime, and have had no problems when boarding her at Heights Canine for multiple overnights at a time. We would love to place her in a loving home.

Story
Kane is a very shy and sweet boy. He will need an adopter that is familiar with the breed and knows how to help him gain confidence. He is not a candidate for an adopter that hasn't had dogs in the past or any adopters with small children. He is crate and house trained. He is dog selective and would do best in a home with no other dogs. Kane is very smart and rings a bell on the door when he has to go outside to potty! He loves to nap on your lap and would make a great work from home buddy. He was abused when he was a little puppy and has an unusual bark. He's been through a lot and needs an adopter that will be patient while he adjusts to his new home.   Kane is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, neutered , microchipped, dewormed and on flea/heartworm prevention.    Kane’s adoption fee is $200.     The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application. Interested applicants can apply at:    https://www.scarohio.org/adoption-application September 22, 2025, 4:11 pm

Story
Meet Rick! He is a little over a year old weighing around 60 lbs. He was surrendered after his family had a change in living / working situations and it was for Rick’s best for him to find a new forever home. Rick is a very active boy who could run and play fetch for hours ! He’s done very well with other dogs and cats in his foster home. He is house broken and crate trained, as well as having amazing house manners. Rick is great for car rides / road trips too. He would do best in an adult home or a home with older children as he hasn’t been exposed to many young kids. But if you’re looking. For you next adventure buddy Rick would be a perfect match. Please note before applying if you rent your home / apartment that your landlord allows PitBull breeds. Rick is fixed, up to date on vaccinations , current in a yearly heartworm test (Negative), and on preventative care. His adoption fee is $275 http://www.ajssearchandrescue.org/adoption-applicationApril 28, 2025, 9:15 pm
