Meet Begonia, the spirited pup with a tale as adventurous as her personality!

With her wagging tail and infectious energy, Begonia turns every day into an adventure. She has a special soft spot for the gentlemen, charming everyone she meets with her playful and affectionate nature. But Begonia isn’t just fun—she’s incredibly smart, too!

Her intelligence and love for treats make her a star pupil, and she would truly benefit from an adopter who is excited to continue her training journey.

This adventurous guy is always on the move, making him a perfect match for someone who can keep up with his active spirit. He has plenty of love to share—especially in the form of slobbery kisses! Moto has been working hard in the START training classes through Dayton Dog Training Club, and he’s picking up new skills like a pro! He already knows “get it” and “come,” sits nicely, waits patiently, and is making great progress on “down.” He weaves in and out of cones, walks well on a leash with treats, and even confidently steps onto the wobble board without hesitation. He loves toys, enjoys treats, and had a blast playing with a ball. He’s also learned “paws up” to say hello! Moto would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. With his eager-to-please attitude and growing list of skills, he’s ready to thrive with someone who will continue his training and provide the guidance he needs.

My teenage kids picked this lovable boy up when he ran across the road. He climbed right in the car very sweet boy.

Super chill boy mostly gets along with our pit she loves the bigger dog to play with. He loves to chill and snuggles with my teen. He needs a good home where he wont be left outside.

Truffles Hi, I'm Truffles! My previous family must have been abducted by Aliens, because my foster mom says I'm awesome! She can't imagine anybody would give me up willingly. I'm very bright and learn very quickly. I'm great in the car and curious about that world rolling by. I give great hugs. Not one accident in the house either! I know OFF, SIT, and COME. My greatest joy comes from gutting and de-squeaking my stuffies. I'm probably a little too big and bouncy for small children, but, hey, nobody's perfect, am I right? So, swipe right and set a date to meet me, The Amazing Truffles! Adoption fee: $200 Apply at wonderdogsrescue.org
