Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Marley is an amazing dog we got from a farm when she was 12 weeks old. Over the past few years we had another baby, I’m now a single mom and my new job requires me to travel frequently. The more I am away the more anxious she gets. We live in a neighborhood and she is always on guard and can never seem to relax. I would say the perfect fit for her is a home with lots of attention and cuddles and space to roam outside.

Tank

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Adult

Lorain, OH

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tank is 10 years old with no health concerns. He has been the only pet since I got him as a puppy so I’m unsure if he would be ok around other pets. He does not do well with children which is the reason for needing to find him a new good home. He is an anxious dog and is used to a quiet home to relax in. He enjoys a good walk when weather is nice, plays tug of war with his favorite toy, will let you know when he hears someone near his house, and will nap the day away if you’re away.

Onyx

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, Young

North Ridgeville, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Onyx is a 4 year old neutered male. He's about 86 lbs. He's lovable, calm, smart, and a good walking buddy. He has 3 human siblings at home ages 11, 15, and 16 and 1 dog sibling at home. He's good with human cousins as well that are younger and although he is large and strong, he just wants to give a lot of kisses. He loves being parked on a couch or a comfy dog bed, loves to shred a stuffed animal or just gnaw on a bone and he's content. He's a good guard dog and will bark if anyone is at the front door. He will keep your backyard free of pesky rodents, and currently used to having a fenced in yard. Does well with an e-collar, and although he's been living with a sister dog at home it's best he goes into a home where he is the only dog. He is crate trained but also trusted in the house loose at night or if you're leaving home. Thank you for considering!!
