Story
Diamond is a beautiful little girl who has been through a lot of heartache in her young life.She was tied outside to brave the elements 24/7 with a wire tied around her neck. She was taken to a jigh kill Texas shelter and survived death in the euthanasia room not once, but twice. All she wants is to find someone to love and to love her back. To give her the life that she deserves and so desperately longs for. Diamond seems to be a little bit prey driven, probably from living outside her entire life.So a home with no pocket pets, cats or small dogs is probably best. A fenced yard is a plus, but not absolutely necessary. She is great on a leash and really enjoys walks. This little sweetheart is UTD on vaccines, Spayed, de wormed, flea treated, heart worm tested( negative) and micro chipped. If you would like to meet Diamond, please submit an application on our website, canaananimalsanctuary.org.

Story
A Letter From Goofy's Foster Mom Goofy came to me unsure, quiet, and carrying a lot of hesitation - after all, he’s been a shelter dog since May. Within days, I watched him start to believe in himself again. He is one of those rare souls who tries so hard to be brave, even when the world feels big. And when he finally decides you’re safe? His whole body softens, his tail starts wagging, and he melts into you with a kind of gratitude you can feel. He’s wonderfully behaved in the house: fully house trained, crate trained, and happiest curled up in a blanket or laying his head on your lap. He adores his stuffies — especially his little cow, which he looks for every night before tucking himself into bed. It’s impossible to watch him proudly carrying that cow without smiling. Goofy loves a quick round of ball, a gentle walk, and being near his person. He rides beautifully in the car, does great on walks, and never says no to a treat. At his core, he is a snuggler — a sweet, sensitive boy who just wants to belong again. He can be unsure with new people at first, but he warms beautifully with patience, calm energy, and a few tossed treats. Once he chooses you, he loves you with a deep, sincere loyalty that’s impossible not to fall for. He’s thoughtful, gentle, and simply needs someone who will meet him where he is and celebrate how far he’s come. Watching him rebuild his confidence has been one of the most special parts of fostering him. He isn’t a “project dog.” He is a good dog who just needed a soft place to land — and he’s ready for a forever home that gives him the gentleness, steadiness, and love he’s been missing. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you, who will try his hardest every single day, and who will meet you with quiet companionship and a tender heart… Goofy is ready. He deserves the next chapter of his life to be the best. With love, Goofy’s Foster Mom 🤍

Story
Hi there, my name is Punkin, and I figured the best way for you to get to know me is to tell you how I like to spend my days. It always starts off with my foster mom getting up far earlier than necessary. But that’s okay, while she is busy letting my four-legged foster siblings out I capitalize on some very necessary additional snooze time. I am definitely a “sets more than one alarm type girly” while I wait for my foster mom to come back and give me some extra morning snuggles following by stretches - going into 2026 I’m trying to focus on my health and wellness. Once I’m up, I run around and play with my foster siblings (including my own son). If you didn’t know, I’m a mommy! All my pups have been adopted -- including the one that is lucky enough to live at my foster mom‘s house forever! After a while, my foster mom tucks me into my own personal bed with a blanket in a crate for you guessed it... more nap time. If I could read, I would for sure spend my crate time reading some true crime stories while my foster mom is gone. Once she is back home she lets everyone back outside while I wait patiently in my crate for more snuggles and stretches. If my foster mom doesn’t give me any snuggles than I refuse to come out of my crate. Like I said, I’m prioritizing my health and wellness this year. If my foster mom thinks I’m not gonna get snuggles multiple times a day, then she has another thing coming! At night we play until we drop -- which isn’t very long for me. I would much prefer sitting on the couch and staring into my foster mom’s soul a mere 3” from her face (which personally I don’t think is close enough) while she watches NCIS. Then at night is my favorite part of the day where we get to snuggle up and go back to sleep. My foster mom said I should also mention that I love cats, especially nap time or showering them with kisses! I LOVE to play with other dogs, big/small/old/young - no discrimination here - I even do a great job at sharing toys and food! I also love people, I sometimes get so excited to shake my butt it gets going so fast my whole body wiggles and the girls at the vets office think I’m so cute when I do that. Unfortunately, I have developed some stranger danger and lack of confidence in new places and meeting new dogs. I’m working on it and I’m really trying so hard so when I meet my very own forever family I’ll be the most perfect girl ever! Will that be you?

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 1 yr 3 mos
Powell, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tank is a young, neutered male Staffordshire terrier/Lab mix who is looking for a home where he can get a lot of love and attention. He is very affectionate, curious, playful, energetic, and smart. He is eager to please and likes learning new things. In his spare time, Tank enjoys watching tv, playing fetch, chewing on his toys, and cuddling with his human. As a young pup he was neglected and not properly socialized. As a result, he has some anxiety issues, but is making great improvements with love, attention, training, and medication. He is quickly learning to stay, place, heel, and catch a frisbee! He has some excitable reactivity to other dogs but is learning to behave. Tank would do best as an only pet in a home with no young children, as he doesn’t realize how big and strong he is. If you are looking for an active dog to play and explore with, Tank is your boy! Tank is being fostered in Richfield, OH. If interested, call or text Alan at 330-840-4915 or go to www.powellpaws.org and fill out an application.

Male, Young
Dublin, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dax is estimated to be 2 years old. He is a big lap dog, and LOVES cuddles from anyone. (I could send you 1,000 photos of him all curled up in bed). Dax does not know a stranger, and just cannot get enough love from humans. Dax has been in training and knows basic commands (sit, down, touch, focus). He is crate trained, and house broken. I have never known him to be destructive. Dax LOVES playing with plushies and his kong. Peanutbutter and all beef hotdogs are his jam! Dax is looking for his new family due to him and our other dog not getting along, he might need to go to a single dog home. He went to doggy daycare in the past and got on great with everyone, so his feelings towards other dogs is questionable.
