Story
Meet Bright! The first time you see him you will be captivated by his smile! If you’re holding a treat he will sit, come & even stand up & beg! Bright is the size of a Kelpie with German shepherd coloring & fur. He is around 2 years old & 46 lbs. He has a very shepherd personality who’s been through professional behavior training so he’s an incredibly talented guy but still has a goofball side. Bright may be well trained but personality is personality and he’s NOT compatible with young children or small animals. We do require participation in learning his training skills to make sure he’s the right fit forever. Bright is smart, bunch and SASSY! He loves toys & will do anything for a treat but would do best with an experienced dog owner. Bright is good in a crate, loves the car & would love to be the center of your world! Apply to adopt him today!! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   September 26, 2026, 11:44 pm

Meet Freya! 🐾 Don’t let her tiny 23-pound frame fool you — Freya is a true Australian Kelpie through and through! This little girl is spicy, tenacious, smart, driven, and always ready for her next adventure. 🌊🐕 Freya LOVES water, exploring, and having something to do. She’s dog friendly and would make an awesome adventure buddy for someone who understands that working breeds come with big personalities and big brains in small packages! Freya is looking for an experienced owner who is familiar with herding or working breeds and will give her the structure, enrichment, training, and outlets she needs to thrive. If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a BIG personality, Freya may be your girl! ❤️

Story
Meet Gumball: professional eye model, part-time detective, and full-time good girl. She is fun, inquisitive, and scary smart—the kind of dog who looks at you like she already knows where you hid the treats and is politely waiting for you to confess. And those stunning eyes? Honestly, they deserve their own fan club.Shelter life has been confusing for Gumball. She has no idea why she is here, and frankly, she would like to speak to management. She is great with kids and is currently conducting research on “other dogs”—results pending, but with time, patience, and maybe a few snacks, she is working on it.Gumball is special, silly, sweet, and ready for a family who appreciates brains, beauty, and just the right amount of dramatic side-eye. Adopt her, and prepare to be inspected, adored, and possibly outsmarted.

Story
This adorable girl is full of personality and ready to steal your heart! She is a playful pup who absolutely loves having a doggy friend to romp around with, and she has been having a blast with her foster family’s resident dog. When playtime is over, she’s more than happy to curl up for some serious snuggles. She has also been wonderful with her foster family’s kids, ages 12 and 14, making her a fun and loving addition to the family. Like any young pup, she’s still working on a few things. She is continuing to learn her potty-training skills, isn’t quite comfortable walking on a leash yet, and is still learning that her crate is a safe and cozy place to be. The good news? She has already made progress and is no longer barking when she has to go in! With her playful personality, love of cuddles, and absolutely adorable face, she’s sure to make someone a wonderful companion. She just needs a family willing to keep helping her learn and grow!
