Story
Through no fault of her own we need to rehome Scout. We are moving into an apartment and Scout is not suited for apartment life, nor will most apartments take her as she is over 50 lbs. Scout is the type of dog that’s probably considered a “Velcro dog.” You will never feel alone in her presence. Her favorite place is snuggled up under blankets next to someone on the couch. When she’s not snuggling, Scout is very active and enjoys playing ball. She would do well with someone who has time to help her get her zoomies out. Due to a little bit of separation anxiety, Scout is crate trained. That’s her safe space. That will be included with her. Scout also has a sweet tooth and loves her trips to Dunkin doughnuts for a pup cup, and car rides in general. Hoping to find her an amazing forever home because she deserves it.

Story
We found Brutus in a trailer park after he was abandoned by his original owner. He's a young dog, but he hates being left alone and he has some behavioral issues. (gets excited and will jump on you without any warning which can be a little scary to some people) He loves chewing things. He's a great walking dog, always on high alert. He's a sweet boy, but a little slow. All he needs is someone who has enough time on their hands to train him. His groin area may need surgery that we cannot afford. He has a permanent "lipstick" and he pees in a different direction. He cannot sit properly and will lay on his butt rather than a normal sit pose like a regular dog. He cannot tolerate any wet food. Ultimately, we are already breaking the bank with our elderly dog Oakley that is nearing the end stages of her life and we would like to focus on her health during this difficult time as we are also moving in a week.

Story
I got blue from the pound back in May of last year. She is a very loveable dog. She loves treats and food. She is very good motivated. She loves going for car rides and playing with her toys. She is about 4 years old. So she's still kinda young and acts like a puppy sometimes. She will come with everything, cage, toys, food, food and water bowl, leash, collar, harness, doggie bags for walks, all her treats, and her dog bed. Unfortunately my son is allergic to Blue. So that means I can no longer care for her.

Story
This sweet girl was found on the street in Dayton, Ohio. She just came right up to me with kisses and love to share! She seems to be about a year old, maybe less. She does okay on the leash, maybe a bit skittish around stairs, but knows how to use the bathroom outside. She is playful, energetic, and very sweet!

Story
Natsu was born 1/22/2024 from a stray that my son (Joshua) took in. He was able to home all the pups and the mom. He kept Natsu for himself. But on October 27, 2024, Joshua had a stroke which has left paralysis on his left side. Since that date I was able to temporarily place Natsu with a family member and then a friend but now I must get him re-homed. I am Joshua's caregiver and cannot take care of both of them as Natsu needs full attention, I work full time, and Joshua cannot handle him. He is good with my 6- and 13-year-old boy grandchildren as well as my 9-year granddaughter, all adults, and other dogs. No cats, so we do not know how he is. I am working on him with Sit and Stay; he is housebroken but he has accidents; he needs to walk or stay out longer than expected for him to complete # 2. He walks well and handles a tie out.

Story
We found Lucille wandering around the streets of our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago. We've been unable to locate an owner or get her into a shelter, but we can't keep her, as our lease does not allow pets. Lu is a sweetheart who is very social. She always wants to be near us, following us from room to room, and nothing makes her happier than sitting in someone's lap and getting attention. She was in heat when we found her, but now that she's past that, we've noticed she seems much calmer. We're guessing she's about 2 years old. She is always ready for a walk or a cuddle! On walks she is excitable around dogs and definitely wants to chase cats. She has been very affectionate to us and most other women, and she seems very trainable, but she does seem inclined to be more aggressive towards men specifically, so I definitely recommend having the whole family meet her before taking her home. We are hoping to give Lucille to a loving forever home!
