Story
Hi, I'm Chevy! I'm a 4 month old bernese mountain dog mix. My siblings (the Simpsons litter) and I were rescued by RescuedOhio. My siblings have all been adopted, but I stayed with my foster a bit longer because I had a broken leg. My leg is now healed and I am ready to find my family! I no longer have to wear a cast, but I have some atrophy to my left hind leg from being in the cast for so long. It will take me some time to regain strength and build muscle, but I'm getting stronger and stronger. I can't wait to run around like a normal puppy again! I absolutely love my foster siblings. I love having a playmate and a companion to snuggle up with in the evenings. I would love to have a dog sibling in my forever home! Because I had a cast and activity restrictions, my potty training has been a slow process, but I am improving! It's so much easier without that clunky cast to drag along. I don't mind being crated. I am very food motivated, so you can easily train me with treats! My adoption fee is $400. This includes my neuter, deworming, a clean bill of health, vaccines and preventatives up to date. ##2344560##

Story
Remy is a beautiful young Great Pyrenees that was surrendered by his owners because of a family health crisis. Remy is up to date on all his shots, is neutered and even had the Gatropexy procedure due to his deep rib cage. This is a life saving procedure that protects large dogs from the risk of stomach torsion.Remy is a very sweet dog that is young and full of energy. He never had a chance to live fully his puppy years. His owners who got Remy from other folks found that he spent his puppyhood tied to a trailer. Remy is good with other dogs and good with cats as long as nobody tries to take his toys or his snacks. Remy adores children. Remy is doing ok on walks. He pulls some but self-corects when pulled back. He will benefit from some leash training. Remy does well in his crate and has no accidents in the crate. When out of the crate he whines to let people know that he needs to go the bathroom. Remy loves to be outside and would love a home with a large fenced yard. Remy is a love bug and he even thinks hes a lap dog. Hes great in the car and likes to go for rides.Because he was starved at one time, he still guards his food and will chase cats. He likes to be with female dogs, but would need to be fed alone.You can apply to meet this beautiful gentle giant at ricopetrecovery.org. Applications to foster Remy are also welcome . Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Well, our Great Pyrenees trapped in Circleville has not been claimed. He is now available for foster.We are calling him Odin. Odin is approximately 2 years old and is a very good boy. Odin has decided indoor living is best for him. He comes right back from being outside, finds his food bowl, and likes being near humans. I guess thats why he went on the run. Guarding goats was not for him. Odin is picking up some weight, has been seen by the vet and will be neutered soon. You can apply to foster or foster-to-adopt Odin at ricopetrecovery.org/fosterSharing is helping!

Story
Meet Sol! This girl is very near and dear to our hearts. Sol was dumped with her sister, Luna, in late 2022. We trapped Luna not long after she was dumped and she has been happily adopted!After almost two years we were finally able to trap Sol, who had delivered a litter of puppies under a building. All of Sols puppies have been adopted to wonderful families. Sol is now fully-vetted and has adapted nicely to being a spoiled house dog! Sol gets along great with other dogs and is gentle with children. She has lived with cats and her relationship with them varies depending on the cat.Sol is timid in new situations and is not confident on a leash. She does go outside to potty and will require a fenced yard. Due to her history, it can take time for Sol to warm up to new people and places. Sol is mostly not an affectionate dog although she will gladly roll over for tummy rubs when shes laying next to you in bed.Despite her large size, Sol plays great with smaller dogs and has lived with several dogs under 20 pounds. She shares her food and water dish with other pets in the home and sometimes sleeps with two medium/large dogs in an open crate. Sol will give a deep bark and back away when startled. She hasnt shown any aggression towards adults or children, even when scared.

Adopting a Newfoundland

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Newfoundland - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost of adopting a Newfoundland is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Newfoundlands from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $3,000. Conduct thorough research and choose a responsible breeder to ensure you are getting a healthy and well-bred puppy.

The easiest way to adopt a Newfoundland would be through a rescue that specializes in Newfoundlands. A great place to start is to start a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Newfoundlands in your area.

Newfoundland fun facts

Fun Facts:

Newfoundlands love to swim. Their waterproof coat and webbed paws help make them powerful swimmers.
