Story
This is my daughters dog Dahlia. She is 2 and 1/2. She is not fixed. She has never been pregnant. My daughters lease wouldn't allow her a dog so I tried to keep her with me and my dogs. Well, my older Shepard girls do not like her and do not tolerate her. Almost daily I'm yelling at the Shepards to get off her. They are always trying to attack her. Not sure why. They outweigh her by quite a bit as she is very small. This worries me for when I'm not home. She is fine with my cats, my other dog who is a pit as well. I've never had her around little kiddos. She is very sweet.

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's birthday is 10/27/2021, he weighs 48 lbs. Kane is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, on heart worm prevention and microchipped.   The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Izzy! Izzy was adopted from us a few years ago. Unfortunately, she was returned to us in June 2024. She wasn't getting along with the other pets in her home. Due to this, Izzy will need to be the only pet in her forever home. Izzy is a dream dog. She is very low maintenance. She sleeps in on the weekends, entertains herself, and loves to cuddle on the couch and watch tv. Izzy is crate and house trained. She is amazing in the car and can adapt to new surroundings quickly. Izzy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, on heartworm prevention and is microchipped. Izzy is on a special diet (chicken and rice kibble). Izzy was born on 11/24/2019 and weighs 50 lbs. If interested in meeting Izzy, please fill out an adoption application: https://www.scarohio.org/adoption-application March 13, 2026, 12:20 am
