Story
Oliver was adopted from Berea Animal Rescue Fund (ARF), Ohio in Oct. 2023 as a 12-week-old puppy. His birthday is July 21st 2023. He's super smart and super stubborn! If you've ever owned a hound dog, his behavior truly resembles the namesake. He can walk several miles a day and still keep going... and he LOVES playing with other dogs. He loves running and his nose is extremely powerful. He knows commands including sit, stay, shake, rollover, seek, out, off, come, and several more, but he only follows commands when he feels like it. He is a reactive dog, but loves people and other dogs. He has never bitten anyone and is good with kids. Oliver needs a home with other dogs and preferably a large yard where he can run and sniff all day. He washes (and dries) easily, but has a fear of water. He is lazy in the mornings and has no issues with house training while waiting to be let out in the mornings. He's been spoiled his entire life, and prefers indoors for sleeping, but likes his crate.

My name is Blu! I am a Handsome , 9 year old bulldog mix . I am fully vetted and potty trained. I am not only smart but active & I love to go for walks, explore! I have alot of energy for my age so you will get your steps in for sure! I LOVE LOVE to just snuggle & am always ready to watch movies or share dinner ! I will chase a ball & will entertain you with my witty personality! I walk well on a leash, knows "sit" "stay" "wait" "back" and "down" "leave it". I wait to go out of the house and come back in. He loves to watch the world go by out the window. He needs a 6' fence so he can zoom. I love humans & I dont mind older children (over 15 )who are respectful. I definetely need a home committed to giving me exercise! I loves hiking, walking, & I sleep very well when worn out at the end of the day! PS I don love to nap in the sun too! I sometimes have anxiety if I do not get the daily exercise so please know I will settle in with an active lifestyle.. I even have my very own trainer to help me acclimate to my new home!!!

Story
Hi! I’m Kage! I’m a 60lb, 3-year-old Hound mix. My favorite things to do are take naps, chew on bones, and get my ears rubbed. I’m very shy at first when meeting new people, especially men, but with a bit of patience, I hope I can warm up to you. I’m housebroken, a good leash-walker, and can follow several commands. I’m still getting used to being in my crate… I guess you can say I’m not a fan of my “Kage”, but I’m a good boy when left in a closed-off area when you leave. I have some separation anxiety when you leave because I fear that you may never return. My furever family would need to be kind and understanding to help me build that trust. I am a chill, gentle fellow who loves to lay around the house or run around outside. Once I learn that you’re not a scary person, I’ll be sure to give you all the snuggles! If you would like to meet me, fill out an application ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 3 years Adoption fee: $300

Story
Peanut is a 10-pound, 2-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for her forever home. This little sweet thing is a wild child and displays many puppy-like behaviors. She is working on potty and crate training, gets into things she shouldn't, chews on items left out within reach of her mouth, and wants to play play play, go go go. She follows her humans from room to room, getting underfoot, so is not ideal for those with balance issues as she may trip them. She is great with kids and very friendly with other dogs but has not been around cats. Since Peanut chews things she should not, she must be crated when left home alone but is not a fan of crating and will sing the songs of her people when left behind. For this reason, she is not a candidate for those who live in apartments or homes with shared walls. When it is finally time to settle in, after playing and chewing and chasing and being a busy body, Peanut will snuggle in with her people for a recharge before the fun starts again. She may be little, but she is mighty, and is looking for a young family who can match her energy. If this is you, please fill out an application to meet Peanut ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. NOTE: Peanut is not available for adoption outside of Ohio at this time. Her bio will be updated when or if out of state applications are accepted. Age: 2 years Adoption Fee: $400
