Story
Hi my name is Goji Berry but I go by Goji. I am a 7 month old pitbull. I was having trouble eating when I was around 5 weeks old so I went to the vet and found out I have Hydrocephalus. It was touch and go for a bit but was thriving in my special needs foster home. I have had some issues with anemia and have had a blood transfusion but have been doing great since. I have a mild case of Hydrocephalus and am on a few medications which includes Omeprazole (for my hydrocephalus) Vitamin B12 tablet - CoBalequin (for my anemia) and a probiotic - Proviable - Forte for my stomach because I have loose stools. I am still learning a few things including, potty training, I will use puppy pads in the house but sometimes still have accidents. I need to learn not to eat everything in sight and not to chew on things, and am learning basic commands. I am very smart but, learning commands has taken me longer because of my condition. I do like other dogs and puppies if they aren't bossy. I like to chase cats and pick on them, but don't hurt them. I am a vocal girl. I would require someone who is home all the time bc I need to be watched to make sure I don't eat things I shouldn't, and I will require a patient owner who will be willing to take their time with me as I take time to learn. Younger kids would not be ideal but older children would be. I am still learning to not bite hard. I like to eat my food to fast, so I eat out of a slow feeder bowl. I am utd on my shots and will be getting spayed soon

Story
Bia is a fearless, energetic pittie puppy. She definitely lives up to her name. Slowly but surely she is coming out of her shell. Bia is a pretty content little lady. She loves to play with her foster brother as well as snuggle up with him. Overall Bia is pretty chill she loves to cuddle up for naps and also loves to run around and show off her toys. So far the toys she prefers are the ones that make a crinkle noise, hard chew toys, and chuck it balls. Breakfast time she often gets a puzzle bowl or ball which she loves the challenge! She is working on crate training and on potty training (she’s nearly there) She is doing well learning sit and patience around food time and waiting patiently until given her free command. She is so smart and loves to please. Bia will make a great addition to any home looking for a vibrant puppy with a sweetheart personality.

Story
Kane is a very shy and sweet boy. He will need an adopter that is familiar with the breed and knows how to help him gain confidence. He is not a candidate for an adopter that hasn't had dogs in the past or any adopters with small children. He is crate and house trained for the most part. He does get nervous when you leave and sometimes has accidents in his crate. He is dog selective and would do best in a home with no other dogs. Kane is very smart and rings a bell on the door when he has to go outside to potty! He loves to nap on your lap and would make a great work from home buddy. He was abused when he was a little puppy and has an unusual bark. He's been through a lot and needs an adopter that will be patient while he adjusts to his new home.   Kane is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, neutered , microchipped, dewormed and on flea/heartworm prevention.    Kane’s adoption fee is $200.     The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application. Interested applicants can apply at:    https://www.scarohio.org/adoption-application October 14, 2024, 12:24 am

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Aurora was born around May 30th, 2022. She is 2 years old. We adopted her from the shelter December of 2023. When we met her, she was very shy and sweet. The shelter believes she has been bred before. She is a very energetic girl and loves toys and treats. She is crate trained and potty trained. She has accidents once in a blue moon. She does have an issue with licking/biting her paws, so we put a blow-up collar on her at night. She loves being outside but has a few issues regarding people/animals. She is reactive to both people and animals on the leash. We have found out that she is more relaxed meeting people in our home instead of outside. She would be best in a house without children. We have come to realize kids are too noisy/crazy and make her anxious which may cause her to nip. She has nipped my boyfriend a few times out of nowhere and from resource guarding me. She would do best in a place where she can be properly trained and taken care of. She deserves all of the love.

Story
Say hello to Tamale! He is a 7 year old Pit Bull mix who weighs 74 pounds. Tamale is an adorably goofy and playful pup who loves nothing more than finding a new toy to play with. His favorite activity on his morning walk is finding his favorite toy and carrying it with him the whole time! Unfortunately Tamale was a return to our shelter after his owner moved, but he was an absolute angel in the home! In the home he enjoyed playing with his toys and going on walks, but for the most part he was a big couch potato. He lived in a home with young kids, so he shows potential to live with young children in his forever home, but he needs a slow introduction because he is very excited meeting new people. Tamale absolutely loves other dog and could make a great playmate to another dog in his forever home. Tamale is a loving and playful pup who can`t wait to meet his forever family!If Tamale catches your eye, give us a call at 330-487-0333 ext 803 to learn more about him or stop in to meet him today!

Story
This regal queen is Pearl. Pearl is a little over four years old and full of wiggles. Pearl is a good mix of playful and wanting sit on her throne of a couch. Pearl would not enjoy living with cats because they scare her. While with us, Pearl has shown some resource guarding, which may or may not show up in the home. Because of that, Pearl would do best with kids who are old enough to respect her space and rule as their Queen. Pearl has lived with a dog in the past but would still need to met any dogs that live in the house. She may also need to always be feed separate from them. Are you ready for Pearl to be the queen of your heart?
