My name is Babe in OH - Gentle, Sweet, Funny & Playful!!

Meet Babe, an adorable young pup with a heart of gold and a playful spirit! Despite coming into rescue as one of our neediest cases, Babe has made tremendous progress through surgery, recovery, and physical therapy with lots of love and devotion from her foster mama. She has a gentle and spunky personality, loves to play with stuffed animals (until she decides their time has come), and adores romping around with her male foster sibling. She’s house-trained, leash-trained, and crate-trained, and learning her basic commands. Babe’s ideal home includes a devoted, patient and understanding family that can continue to build her confidence. A canine friend with similar energy would be perfect for her, as she loves to play! If you have a pool, that’s even better—Babe is a natural swimmer and thrives in the water, often doing laps like a dolphin. She’s a sweet, fun-loving girl who just needs the right family to help her grow into the confident, happy dog she was always meant to be. Is your family the one she's been waiting for?

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.

We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
