Story
Food: Stella and Chewy's Red Meat Recipe - No Grains or Legumes Hello there! My name is Roxy. I have tons of spunk and even more attitude. I love to chew on plushy toys, jumping, checking everything out...I am full of puppy energy. I LOVE to use my teeth when I play with toys, hoomans, and other doggos. Some dogs do not appreciate my "in-your-face" energy. My foster sister tolerates me and even plays sometimes, but foster mom has to tell me to stop sometimes. With my anxiety, new environments stress me out, so I pace, drool, and pant. I will need patience. Quirks: I will require a solid decompression plan to help me adjust to my new home. I need firm boundaries and rules.

Story
Location: Dayton, OH Food: Raw Diet Medication:Standard Process brand; Super-EEF, Neuroplex and Neurotrophin PMG My name is Tiffany, and I'm Penelope's talent agent. Penelope studied Ballet at Cincinnati Ballet School in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a Principal dancer and danced so beautifully. She was coming out of a Ronde de jambe and lost her footing and fell. After many doctors appointments she has not gained full movement from her waist down. The poor girl lost most of her feeling in her right leg. She still has her pointed toes though! After many people tried and couldn't deal with her dancer drama, BadAss Bulldog rescue jumped in and took over. Penelope is now thriving and slowly getting on her feet. We believe that with continued acupuncture she will just keep getting better! Here is a little snippet from Penelope herself so you can get to know her! I am the happiest girl you will ever meet! I love to play, chew on toys, get pets and treats!!! I've never met a treat I didn't like! I'm a chewer so I always need something to chew on. As you have noticed I don't walk very well. After seeing all these doctors we decided to start acupuncture. So far it is really helping! I'm gaining more stability in the left leg but my right leg still gets a little wonky. I'm standing more and walking some. I use a brace and wheelchair to help me walk. When I'm not in my brace and wheelchair, I'm the fastest dog on two legs!I am incontinet, I sometimes wear diapers and I don't alway know when I need to go to the bathroom. My foster mom tries to give me more outside time so I don't have any accidents in the house. I love it outside! I also love to play with the other dogs. I enjoy tugging on toys with my foster sister, it's my favorite game. I will say that the one thing I enjoy the most is laying in my bed and chewing on my toys. I love to sit there and watch everyone while I relax! If I sound like the bestest best best buddy for you then please fill out an application. I very excited to meet you!

Story
Location: Carlisle, OH Food: Taste of the Wild - Venison and Garbanzo Beans Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative and Benadryl when needed Are you an "on the go" type of person? Do you like to explore new places & try new things? Miss McQueen would love to be your travel buddy! McQueen loves being outside chasing the squirrels, birds, rabbits or whatever critter may be in the yard. Not sure if you know her story, but McQueen was adopted around this time last year and her person decided to dump her at a local shelter instead of calling us. She was at the ideal weight of 52# at the time of her adoption and now she weighs 74# (she was 78# at the shelter, so she is getting that extra weight off) So, she will need someone dedicated to an exercise program for her so she can get back to her ideal weight. McQueen is good with other dogs, cats, kids and she is crate trained and housebroken. I feel that she needs a physical fence because her favorite thing is to be outside waiting to spot a squirrel to chase! Once she is done with her outside adventures, she is perfectly fine chilling next to you on the couch.

Story
Lilo is amazing dog and she’s 4 years old.She is sweet and energetic and very athletic. She does well with a lot of attention and she loves to cuddle. She does tend to jump but does know multiple commands and had some training at K9 Solutions. She loves to play frisbee or fetch with a ball. She does best being the only dog and no children in my experience! She loves being outside running around so a fence would be ideal. She is create trained and does well as long as you are not staying home then she may back for a few minutes.
