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.   March 7, 2026, 9:24 am

Story
🌸 Meet Maple 🌸 Maple is a sweet, shy girl who has come such a long way in foster care. She’s learning the ropes of being a family dog and is ready for a patient, loving home to call her own. ✨ House Training & Crate She does well when taken out regularly and has been accident-free in her crate for weeks! She sleeps through the night in her crate like a champ. ✨ Personality & Quirks Maple can still get nervous with loud noises or quick movements, and sometimes pees when she’s scared. If startled, she may bolt — usually just to hunker down under furniture — so a secure yard and watchful eye are important. ✨ Good with Others • Plays well with other dogs 🐶 • Gets along with cats 🐱 • Great with kids 💕 • Still a little unsure about men at first, but has warmed up beautifully to her foster dad. ✨ Other Notes Maple should not be around chickens — she will chase and try to eat them 🐔. This gentle girl has made incredible progress and just needs someone willing to go slow, offer reassurance, and celebrate her wins. With love and patience, Maple will blossom into the most loyal companion. 🌟

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna is a 5 year old Australian shepherd who we have had her whole life. I hate saying that she’s “not good with other dogs” because she can be- but she can also be reactive in higher stress situations and this has caused issues with her and our other dog on occasion. We have a new baby and live in a smaller home and we are just not meeting each other’s needs anymore. I’m looking to responsibly rehome Luna to someone who better suits her needs. I think she would be best in a home that doesn’t have other dogs. She is loyal and incredibly intelligent, she is high energy but in a productive way, if she’s inside she loves to lay in the sun near a door or window. If she’s outside she loves to play fetch and she’s very agile. Luna doesn’t have any health issues, but she does have a history of getting carsick in longer car rides.

Story
Jasper will be 1 in April 2026 and was adopted privately from Troy Ohio at 3 months Mother was Aussie/ Pit , father was all Aussie. Crate trained, rarely barks, has been socialized with 3 cats, parrot, and chihuahua and baby/ toddler. Has had fenced backyard and just needs more home space and attention and exercise than we can give. Very loving and just wants love and does need some training with walks. With toddler- just difficult to give him attention he needs. Hope to find him a loving home. Neutered and shots up to date through March 2026. This is my daughter’s dog, and I would take him in a minute if I was younger and had a fenced yard and had more space in my small condo. He just wants lots of love. He is a good dog and hope to find him a forever home. He would be great companion for another dog as well. Large crate included in adoption fee
