Story
If you want to see some cute videos of me, scroll to the end of the pictures and watch right from here! If I do not currently have any videos up, just have some patience. Hi there! I'm Tuesday, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! If you're interested in adopting me or just want to learn more, please reach out to Rachael at 440-773-0270 to set up a meet-and-greet. Here's a bit about me: Housebroken: I'll let you know when I need to go outside by ringing bells or giving you a nudge. Crate-trained: I'm comfortable in my crate, especially if I have some treat-filled toys to keep me occupied. I might get a bit too excited with the toys, though, so it's best to use them mainly when I'm in the crate. Free-roaming: I'm trusted to stay out of the crate now! While my foster mom is at work, I enjoy napping, watching squirrels, or playing with my toys. Quick learner: I know commands like sit, down, stay, come, shake paw, no-jump, and off. I'm still working on heeling, but I can do it on either side. I understand "okay as a cue to relax. Toy lover: I enjoy a variety of toys-fetching them, bringing them to you, or just playing by myself. Active and athletic: Whether it's walking, jogging, or running, I'm up for it! If you prefer a quieter activity, I love running around a yard. Car rides: I'm a pro at car rides and enjoy trips to different places, like the Metro Park. Snuggly: Once I get to know you, I'm all about cuddles and giving kisses! Social skills: I'm working on meeting new dogs. I can be a bit nervous at first, but I warm up quickly. Especially to younger dogs that are respectful. Special needs: I'd be happiest in a home without other animals or a younger dog that will give me time to warm up. I do think I would rather not live with small kids because I don't really like to share my food and toys. If I sound like a good fit for you, get in touch with Rachael at 440-773-0270 to arrange a meeting. I can't wait to meet you and see if we're a perfect match!

Story
If you want to see some cute videos of me, scroll to the end of the pictures and watch right from here! If I do not currently have any videos up, just have some patience. Are you looking for a super smart, funny, and loyal dog who tells you exactly what she wants? Then look no further than perfect Pippa! **Pippa will be doing a 16 day stay & train at Paramount from January 15th through February 1st. She'll have free follow-up for her adopter to continue training methods. She'll be on and off leash trained** Pippa is a 5 and a half year old Coonhound and weighs about 60 lbs. Do NOT let her age fool you-Pippa has a fire for life and adventure. Pippa is known for hopping up immediately for a walk, and will race to volunteers’ cars for the opportunity for a car ride! She enjoys a good long walk in the park, a good back scratch in the grass, and then a nice cuddly nap. Another LOVE of Pippa’s is swimming! She got to go on a few dock diving trips this summer, where she had an absolute blast in the water. She was well-behaved and so adorable in her life jacket. Pippa has one of the most memorable personalities that ARF has ever seen. She is so loved by volunteers for her intelligence, humor, and sass. Pippa is not shy to let volunteers know when she needs to go out, when she wants to play, and when she's ready to nap. She makes volunteers laugh when she rolls halfway on her back and falls asleep with her front feet in the air and ears falling over her bed. In addition to being smart, Pippa is also very strong, but so are her growing training skills! She is a graduate of our Grafton training program, and although it may take some practice with her new owners, Pippa is treat motivated which helps with training. The best furever home for Pippa would be one without small children, as she loves her toys too much to share. Pippa is adorable in that she is crazy about fun toys, but she also is very protective over them, so older children or adults only is a must. Although Pippa doesn't mind other dogs, she can be selfish with her toys and food so we believe she would do best in a home without other dogs. She needs a home that is a good mix of active and couch potato. If you believe this smart and spunky Coonhound should be your newest family member, please reach out to her consultant Rachael at 440-773-0270.

He's a clever pup, already mastering "sit and excited to learn even more! Petey's affectionate side shines as he curls up on your lap or politely asks for a play session during TV time. While he's still working on his manners around food, he's a well-mannered sleeper, resting peacefully in his cozy kitchen spot through the night. It is impossible not to smile and laugh with Petey’s adorable personality. Recently, we discovered Petey's love for canine friends-he's thrilled to make new dog buddies! He truly loves other dogs, making him an excellent option for a furever home with other dogs! Please note a meet and greet is required if you have other dogs in the home. Best of all, Petey is a natural swimmer and dock diver, with a true passion for the water. He'd be thrilled to join an active family that lets him enjoy regular swim time. If you're ready for a loyal, fun-loving companion who's eager to shower you with love, Petey is waiting to bring endless joy to your home!

Meet Otis, a gentle and timid pup. Otis has adjusted well to home life, showing his exemplary housetraining skills and finding solace in his crate, making him an ideal addition to any household.
