Story
This beautiful 2 year old brindle beauty is Violet! Violet is a 2 year old pittie and is full grown at 60 lbs. Violet has such a beautiful soul! She's a very shy girl, but once you spend some time with her and get that first tail wag, your heart will just melt. Violet recently went to the vet and did great at her appointment! It was her first time going to the vet ever, because in her past life she was used for breeding and never got medical done. Violet was quiet and stoic getting all of her shots and even her heartworm test done which was negative. Good job, Violet! Violet recently moved into a foster home where is is doing great! She is learning all of the good things about living in a loving home for the first time. She can't wait to find a forever family who will give her the happy ever after that she deserves.

Story
Meet Arrow! Arrow was born December 4, 2023 and is 6 months old. This little guy is handsome – black and white with all the speckles. Arrow is a mix of spitz, border collie and Mountain Feist. He should remain on the smaller side, less than 35 pounds, when fully grown. Arrow arrived to The Rescue Inn (TRI) in March with his sisters. He’s in foster care now with dogs of all different sizes. Arrow would love a home with other dogs that won’t be offended by his energetic nature and puppy antics. Arrow is looking for an energetic family that will cherish his spunk and will be active with him. A fenced in yard would be perfect for this boy to run around in. Arrow would make a great running or walking partner. Arrow will continue to blossom with guidance and boundaries. He is crate trained and potty trained. Contact TRI at therescueinn@gmail.com or (216) 369-9141 for more information!

Story
Meet Jax! This handsome Jack Russell Terrier / Whippet mix is looking for a forever home. He is around two and a half years old and as sweet as they come! Jax is everything you could ask for in a young dog – playful, adventurous, and loving. He adores people, cats, and other dogs too! In fact, he would love to have a canine or feline sibling. And this boy loves to run and play (and is a bit of an escape artist), so a securely fenced yard would be best for him. He is working hard on his potty training and also learning to be comfortable in a crate. Jax is at that great age where he enjoys playing and exploring the world, but also loves to relax and cuddle. And don’t tell him that he’s too big to be a lap dog! This super smart guy will make a wonderful companion for some lucky family! If you're ready to bring some joy into your life, consider adopting Jax today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.William Richard Johnson, affectionately known as Willy, came to us in May from a puppy mill after the Amish discovered he had a deformity in the skin covering his penis, and therefore could not be sold. We couldn't let this little floof nugget lose his life over something completely fixable, so we took him in and got him the medical care he needed! Willy is your typical, spunky puppy! He's full of playful energy, but very on board with going into his crate to take a nap. He loves all people, other dogs, (although he's still working on his manners and is a little 'in your face' with new friends!), and very much wants to be BFFs with the kitties! Even if the kitties aren't interested, lol. He loves rope toys, sticks, tennis balls, laying out in the sun, and helping pull weeds out of the lawn. Sometimes the grass comes too, but hey, he's still 'helping!' He enjoys playing tug and fetch with his people, but is also good at independently entertaining himself. We've also discovered that Willy enjoys watching doggie TV and will sometimes intently stare at the other pups on the screen! Willy loves to be near his people and will snuggle, lay at your feet, or sprawl out on top of the couch by your head. He also occasionally wants to hold hands. Did we mention what a goofball this guy is?!?Willy is crate trained and will quietly sleep in a covered crate at night. He'll greet you in the morning with love, a good stretch, and a big yawn. He's almost fully potty trained, and has learned to ring a bell or sit by the door to let his people know (most of the time) that he needs to go out. This smarty pants has also mastered SIT and PAW! He loves to learn and interact with other people and animals, so he would absolutely thrive in puppy classes with his new fam! This sweet floof is a Miniature Poodle/Golden Retriever mix, (a Mini Goldendoodle if you prefer), and we guesstimate that he'll be around 35 lbs or so when fully grown. He will require regular grooming throughout his life, so his forever family needs to be prepared to take him every 6-8 weeks or so. Willy is currently 15 lbs, has had his first grooming sesh (which he did amazing for!), and is neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and current on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $450.  Please click here to submit an adoption application!  If you'd like any additional information, email us at newleashrescue@gmail.com.
