Roxy is a 3.5 Lab-Pit mix. She and her 7 siblings were surrendered to us last week. We are hearing wonderful things about this litter and Roxy is no exception. For pups that have always been outside, they have very quickly learned that life on a cushy couch is more than alright!Roxy is very sweet and loves to cuddle in your lap, but don’t be fooled! While she can be very quiet, she has a lot to say when she’s ready to play. She loves toys and plays well with other dogs big and small. Cats are still a question; they’ve been hiding from the storms. Roxy does well in the crate and will pee on the pad if she just can’t wait. She will potty outside, but does not signal for herself, yet. But she’s eager to go when the big dogs want to! She’s always willing to share your snacks. This girl is keeping a clean crate overnight and even today when foster mom went to work.Friends, here’s the reality. We took these pups in before the floods hit. Now we are inundated with requests to take family pets that no longer have homes. We need adopters and fosters galore. Roxy has received her first set of vaccines, been wormed and flea treated. She needs a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio that can take her to one of our partner clinics for the remainder of her care. Once spayed, the adoption is finalized and you can take to the veterinarian of your choice. Other pets in your home must be regularly seen by a veterinarian. Current on vaccines, preventatives and spay/neuteredTo apply, click the link in the comments below. Please, please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less

This is Sage. She’s been with us since May. This is the first time you’ve seen her because she was placed in a foster to adopt home immediately on intake. Unfortunately on Sunday, that home suffered irreparable damage when floods ravaged our area in the early morning hours. Sage’s family faces an uncertain future. While it absolutely crushes every part of their heart they know it’s in her best interest to find a new home. Sage loves people, car and boat rides, babies, playing fetch when she brings it back and you give her the command "drop it" she will. She is crate and potty trained. However will leave a little tinkle when excited. She knows commands such as "sit" "give paw" ( shake) and "lay down", you may have to point to the ground when asking her to lay down. This good girl is still learning how to walk on a leash. She does best with the harness that clips in the front. She wants to be with people, is eager to learn new commands.Sage LOVES little dogs to the point it is usually overwhelming to her small canine friends. She will let you clip her nails with a little help from a spoonful of peanut butter. Sage came to us underweight but you would never know it as she has filled out nicely. She loves to run it's still working on the command "here" to come back. It is unknown how she does around cats, chickens, other small animals. However, one day she was kind enough to bring her foster Mom a ground mole very carefully and did not hurt it. Shes full of energy and love. Sage needs an immediate foster or foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio. Sage is current on her vaccines and on prevention. She has an appointment to be spayed next month. Sage is 4.5 months old and a Boxer mix. Other pets in your home MUST be vaccinated, spay/neuter, and on regular prevention. To help Sage click the link in the comments below and please share!!! ...

Meet Dottie! This doll is 3.5 months old. Her foster can’t say enough good things about her, in fact if she didn’t have 4 dogs of her own, Dottie is so perfect she would be a foster fail! Dottie is a Lab-Pit mixShe is great with dogs and cats, has the typical puppy energy, is very smart and a quick learner. Shes already got a good grasp of housebreaking and goes to the door when she wants out. She does great in her crate and rides beautifully in the car.Dottie needs a foster to adopt home in Central or Southeast Ohio so she can finish her vet care at one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset Ohio. Once spayed the adoption is finalized and you can take her to the clinic of your choice. Requirements to adopt include exemplary veterinary care if you have other pets. Vaccinations, prevention for fleas/ticks/and heartworm disease and spay/neuter are needed.To apply, click the link in the comments below. ... See MoreSee Less
