Story
Heartbreakingly and urgently searching for a good home for our sweet brindle pittie mix of 4 years. She needs to be an only pet, but is spayed, UTD on vetting, command trained, a great listener, wonderful on a leash w/pinch collar, LOVES her humans (NO human aggression!), loves to travel or be lazy - would adapt well anywhere. She takes a day or two to adjust to new people, but with belly rubs and treats is a sucker!! She’s also the perfect size, at ~40lbs. Over the past year, her resource aggression and animal reactivity has escalated to the point where our trainers are urging us to rehome her for the safety of our other pets. This has been absolutely gut-wrenching for my husband and I, but we just know that there is a great, pet-free home waiting for her out there!

Story
Allow us to introduce you to three remarkable, large puppies: Alabama, Virginia (darker colored female), and Georgia(lighter colored female). They came into our care from a bad situation. These pups, were not well-socialized, had little experience of being puppies and were understandably frightened when they first arrived to us. It was heartbreaking seeing them fear a leash, be weary of grass, and especially scared of people. In a short period though, they learned to trust our volunteers, revealing their personalities. While they are 8 months old now, they still have the manners of younger puppies. These adorable cuties also had to overcome malnourishment, which makes them a bit protective of their food and occasional toy around other animals, though they are perfectly fine with people. They thoroughly enjoy playing with other dogs, and now very friendly of people. We recommend potential adopters with some experience, as these pups require understanding, confidence-building, and strong leadership. They DO NOT need to be adopted together. Despite their past challenges, they are incredibly sweet, affectionate, and simply long for the attention and love you can provide, in between their joyful bursts of zoomies. They are enthusiastic about toys, relish snuggling on cozy comforters, and are experts at sniffing out any treat within reach. Watching them play is a source of endless entertainment. These lovable pups truly deserve a patient and loving forever home. Is that you? Please note, Georgia, Virginia, and Alabama's adoption is NOT on a first come, first served basis. Applications will be screened with a pre screening questionnaire their needs, if there is multiple inquiries. If you are interested, please email us at euclidpetpals2@yahoo.com with the name of the one you are interested in for the prescreening questionnaire

Story
This beautiful 2 year old brindle beauty is Violet! Violet is a 2 year old pittie and is full grown at 60 lbs. Violet has such a beautiful soul! She's a very shy girl, but once you spend some time with her and get that first tail wag, your heart will just melt. Violet recently went to the vet and did great at her appointment! It was her first time going to the vet ever, because in her past life she was used for breeding and never got medical done. Violet was quiet and stoic getting all of her shots and even her heartworm test done which was negative. Good job, Violet! Violet loves to go for walks with volunteers. She now walks with our other TRI adoptable pittie, Shorty. If you'd like more information on Violet, email us at therescueinn@gmail.com or complete an adoption application: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html

3/8/24 Update Big News - Tucker completed his board and train program with Cold Water K9 in Castalia. He did great and will need an owner that is willing to continue his training and commands he has leaned. Big thanks to Cold Water K9 for helping Tucker be the best dog he can be! **This is a great opportunity to adopt a professionally trained dog!! He has wonderful house manners and is housebroken, and crate trained. If you are interested in Tucker, please complete our online Love-A-Stray application. We can only consider homes with a completed application, so we can learn a little about you to make sure Tucker is a good match. Thank you! Application: www.loveastraydog.com/application **If you are interested in offering a temporary foster home for Tucker, as we search for his forever home, Love-A-Stray provides everything needed for the foster program. You have zero expenses. PLEASE consider helping this GREAT dog while we work on finding Tucker a forever home!! Tucker completed a 6 week board and train program and he knows all his commands. Tucker is ready for his next adventure! If his new potential family or foster has a dog, Tucker would do best with a calm dog that is not reactive and can be a positive influence on him. Tucker is a typical playful young dog, he is 60lbs and 11 months old, DOB 4/20/23. We are hopeful to find an adopter that will help Tucker by continuing his training. Tucker is super sweet and very smart. He will need daily exercise, typical of a young dog. Tucker has lived with a cat and he is curious about the cat, but since his board and train he does very well just leaving the cat alone ;-). We prefer a home with older children, since he is a larger dog and could easily knock down a toddler. We would love for Tucker to have a fenced in yard (not electric) so he can burn off some young dog energy and he really loves to play fetch, but it is not required as long as new owner is very active and can offer daily walks in all types of Ohio weather;-)! Tucker rides well in the car too. Tucker is completely vaccinated and neutered. If you are interested in Tucker, please submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Tucker would be a perfect match for you and your family. We are looking for local adoption within a 65 mile radius of Avon Lake Ohio, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $ 150.00. If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with medical expenses and ongoing care. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Tucker, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!

Story
Meet Pete, a charming 4-year-old American Staffordshire mix eagerly seeking his forever home! With just a few weeks left in his 12-week stay-and-train program, Pete is counting down the days until he can embark on his next adventure with his new family. To arrange a meet-and-greet with Pete, please contact Rachael at 440-773-0270. Pete has already mastered basic obedience commands like heel, sit, and down, and he's currently honing his stay duration skills. He also keeps his area very clean which indicates he is housetrained and is great in his crate! Plus, he's a pro at giving his paw for treats - such a clever boy! Pete's favorite pastime? Playing with balls! However, his enthusiasm can lead to many balls being shredded, so he'll need tough, indestructible, larger balls to keep him entertained. We have recently learned that Pete likes doggie friends and wouldn't mind sharing his new forever home with one! He also showed his playful side with a kitty he met. His initial shyness around new people quickly fades, revealing his affectionate and loving nature. Pete's athleticism is impressive - he can jump quite high when he's excited - but he responds well to gentle reminders to calm down. Pete would thrive in a home with owners willing to continue his training journey. If you're ready to welcome this sweet and playful pup into your life, don't hesitate to reach out to Rachael to schedule a meet-and-greet. Pete can't wait to meet his perfect match!

These pups are in Cleveland, Ohio too!

Story
Gorgeous girl Jovie is happy and loving and she simply adores people. Jovie currently lives in a foster home, and she has shown that her two favorite things are belly rubs and toys. She's fun and engaging to play with, but makes an equally great hang-out and cuddle buddy. She's clearly had some litters in her life, but this mama is ready to be pampered and loved on herself. She loves watching you in the kitchen, and makes a great little sous-chef! She has a sensitive side, and thrives when she has a chance to take her time and get used to her new routine.Jovie has pretty good house manners once she knows the drill. She is crate-trained, and is content to sleep through the night in bed with her humans. She also rides well in the car. In her ideal world, she'd have a fenced-in yard to run and play! She is also a smarty who already knows sit, paw on both sides, and touch, and she's learning more such as "stay." Jovie would do best in a home without cats. She has the potential to live with a lower-key dog, but she would also be perfectly happy with just humans in her house too. She's estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs 45 lbs.Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to meet lovely Jovie!

Mushu is a party on four legs! She's a big, mushy, exuberant lady with a lot of moxie. Mushu loves to make friends and her entire body wags when she's excited to see you. She's active, playful and silly and the hilarious expressions on her jowly mug are pretty charming. It's quite entertaining to see her playing with a toy, hopping and chasing it around with not much grace but a lot of enthusiasm. This joyful lady can be a bit of a bull in a china shop - her big personality is not easily contained - but she makes up for it by bursting with adoration for her people. Plus, she knows how to sit and seems housebroken. She'd like to find a family with a sense of humor who is ready to receive the full force of Mushu's love! She weighs 60 lbs and is estimated to be around 3 years old.Visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog to set up a meet!
