Story
Kyrie is a slam dunk! He is a sunny, stout snorting wonder! Kyrie is accustomed to being in a home, so he has a baseline of training. He knows a few commands (sit, paw) and is very good about keeping his kennel clean overnight. Though Kyrie is comfortable in his middle age, he still enjoys play time! He's a fool for toys. Kyrie has also enjoyed socializing with other dogs at the shelter. This meatball of a dog is irresistible! Kyrie is estimated to be around six years old and weighs 56lbs.Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to schedule a meet. Scheduling a meeting in advance is the best way to ensure that an adoption counselor is available to meet with you. Meets are performed Tuesday and Thursday from 11am - 6pm and Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am - 3pm.

Story
I personally rescued Bosco when he was 2 months old from a guy on the street in Nashville who couldn’t afford to feed him. I couldn’t say no to helping this little guy and figured I could adapt my lifestyle to help Bosco. Bosco is so well behaved but as he got older (he’s 6 months old) he required more activity than I could give him. My job has me away from home most of the day and Bosco deserves a home that allows him to be out of his crate more than he is. We go on walks around the block and he loves to play sports. I throw a football and he loves chasing it or I use an old soccer ball to play soccer with him. He loves trying to chase the ball with you. He loves people and other dogs and he’s never had an issue with dogs at dog parks or kids or adults. He loves to cuddle and will nestle in your lap if you sit down by him. He’s an excellent dog that deserves a good home and I want to find someone who can give him the time he deserves. Not currently neutered but we can arrange that.

Story
Cleveland OH — 2 year old, lab/pit mix found running in Beachwood OH for 5 days - no owner came forward. Completely potty trained! GREAT with adults and kids! Knows basic commands LOVES to go for car rides! Extremely agile - would be great to start her with agility training! Dog selective - does well with dogs who play and match her same energy! ??? BEST HOME would be someone who is home a lot as she attaches easy. An active family who likes spending time outdoors and potentially consider agility training for her! But She is most happy just cuddling and being around people. She likes dogs that match her energy. If they are overstimulated she will feel threatened. So we will say dog selective for now. She is available for foster to adopt. Her spay date is June 1, 2023, and will be able to be officially adopted on that date.

Story
We would like to introduce you to the cutest gal named Odessa. This one-year-old darling is simply sugar, hardly any spice, and everything nice! Odessa came to us as a stray, and we instantly fell in love with her adorable ears! She walks well on a leash, absolutely loves to cuddle with fuzzy blankets, and she would be an amazing companion for someone who is active and perhaps just starting to settle down and figure out life, She would be an amazing dog to grow with. With her being still younger, sometimes this gal forgets her manners but does well when she is reminded to sit or not jump. Treats will help tremendously in this, as she is very treat-motivated. She absolutely loves toys. She will entertain herself by throwing, catching, or running after them; it is the cutest thing to watch! Odessa seems to show positive interest in other playful dogs, but we are unsure about cats at this time. She is quiet and perfectly behaved in her kennel, and she is always wagging her tail! She is so friendly and loves to meet new people! Now all she needs is her own forever home; is that with you? If you are interested in meeting Odessa, send us a message to set up a potential meet and greet.

Story
Although his name may make him sound tough, Hercules is truly one of the biggest softies you'll ever meet! Sweet hunky boy Hercules has had a tough time finding his perfect family. Hercules was saved from euthanasia in Kentucky and brought to Rescue Village last August. He was adopted quickly because of his gentle nature, but then his first owners had a housing change and had to return him. They described him as a couch potato who loved to play but also had a very calm and cuddly side. He thinks he's a lap dog and he gives the best chin kisses. He never had to be crated because he did so well loose in the home, napping wherever he wanted. Hercules also lived with multiple young children and loved them all. In his second home, he got along great with his one doggy sibling, but not the other, and eventually had to be returned. Again, he was described as laid back and snuggly, spending most of his days napping in the sun. Hercules has gone out on fieldtrips in the community, had sleepovers with volunteers, and visited schools for events and is ALWAYS on his absolute best behavior and a friend to everyone. We're sure if you come and meet him, you won't be able to leave without him!

They say looks can be deceiving and this is certainly true in Holly’s case! Don’t be fooled by the sight of her 3 legs. This girl can run, hop, jump, walk, do whatever despite the missing leg! Yep, it’s business as usual for Holly. Throw a treat in the air and watch her jump for it. Oh yeah, 3 or 4 legs, she’s got skills 😊 She greets her humans with much enthusiasm too. The biggest smiles, the happiest tail wags, you are the center of her world

Story
In April 2023, Multiple Breed Rescue pulled a heavily pregnant American Bulldog mom from a county shelter. On 4/21, she gave birth to FOURTEEN puppies, via an emergency c-section. Based on appearance, the puppies are believed to be a bully mix of some sort. These puppies will be available as foster to adopt only, pending spay and neuter surgeries. A $200 deposit will be required when a puppy is selected by the adoptive family, and the $500 adoption fee will be paid at 8 weeks (or the day the puppies move to their foster to adopt families). Upon completion of the spay/neuter surgery and finalization of adoption, the $200 deposit will be returned. Those interested in adopting should be prepared for a medium to large breed energetic puppy who will need training and guidance. Bully breeds make fantastic family pets, and these puppies have been handled since day one, as help was needed with supplemental bottle feedings. They will be very well socialized puppies, ready to fill your home with love and fun. If you think your home could be a good fit for one of these babies, please submit an application today. There are 4 females and 9 males available for adoption in this litter, and momma Nola is also looking for a furever home! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 8 weeks at time of adoption Adoption fee: $500

Story
COME MEET ME AND MY FRIENDS at our next ADOPTION EVENT at Mitchell's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning (1750 Moore Road in Avon, Ohio) on Saturday, June 3rd from 11am - 2pm during their car show! We can't wait to meet you! Nola is an approximately 2-year-old American Bully/American Staffordshire Terrier mix. This pretty girl was picked up as a stray in April 2023, heavily pregnant, and ended up in a local county run shelter. A loud, scary shelter is no place for a soon to be momma dog, so Multiple Breed Rescue agreed give Nola a safe place to have her puppies. On April 21, Nola was rushed to the vet for an emergency C-section. She had the biggest baby belly anyone had ever seen, and her health was at risk to continue to carry the puppies. FOURTEEN puppies were born via C-section, and as soon as Nola recovered from anesthesia, she began taking care of her many new babies. Once Nola had her puppies, it became apparent that she has not had an easy life. She is incredibly emaciated and came into the rescue with scars and scabs on her ears from frost bite. Despite what was most likely a very rough past, she is such a sweet girl. She loves to snore gently on the floor at the feet of the volunteers who come help care for her puppies and will sometimes fall asleep standing next to them while her puppies nurse. She has done great meeting other dogs and has spent time around farm animals. Nola is slowly starting to gain weight (though nursing that many puppies presents a challenge in getting weight on her), her scabs have healed, and her heart is ready for love. If you could be the forever home Nola deserves, please submit an application today! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. age: 2 years old adoption fee: $300
