Story
Luna is very high energy and loves to run and run. She is great with my kids other than she does get very excited when we first get home and she jumps still trying to break her of this also is a little bit older and she digs holes to go under the fence, we love her however, we do not have the time due to a new job and going to school and she is in a crate a lot and she shouldn’t be due to how much energy she has. We are looking for a single person that is willing to take her on and has a yard for her to run.

Story
🎄 Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree with Roxy! 🎅🐾 Hey there, future best friend! I’m Roxy, your soon-to-be holiday sidekick, ready to fill your home with cheer, zoomies, and energy this season. If you’re into plush toys, festive fun, and a pup who lives for adventure, then we’re about to make some holiday magic together! 🎁✨ When I play, I go all out—think of me as your little Christmas whirlwind! I LOVE chewing on toys (Santa, please bring me more!) and have enough excitement to light up the whole neighborhood. My enthusiasm might be a bit much for some pups, but my foster sister keeps me in check when I need a reminder. I promise, it’s all in good fun—I’m just here to sleigh the day! Now, I’ll admit: new places can make me feel a bit like a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven—nervous and warm. I might pace, drool, or pant when I’m adjusting, but with patience, love, and a good decompression plan, I’ll be as cozy as a pup in a stocking. Once I know the rules, I’ll show you how amazing I can be! 🎁 Here’s my holiday wish list: 1.) Patience and understanding while I adjust to my new home. 2.) Clear boundaries and rules to help me feel safe and secure. 3.) LOTS of playtime to burn off my reindeer-worthy energy. 4.) A loving family who understands vet visits make me a bit nervous (but treats help a ton!). 5.) Treats, belly rubs, and a cozy spot by the fire to call my own. If you’re ready for a lively, loving, and loyal pup to make your holidays brighter, I’m your girl. Let’s deck the halls, play in the snow, and create a lifetime of memories together! 🎅 Love, Roxy 🐾

Story
🎄 Holly Jolly Lightning McQueen 🎅🐾 Ka-chow and ho-ho-ho! I’m Miss McQueen—Lightning to my friends—and I’m here to sleigh your holiday season with fun, adventure, and love! Whether it’s chasing squirrels in a winter wonderland or snuggling by the fire with my crew, I’m ready to be the best gift you’ve ever unwrapped. 🎁 I’m all about living life in the fast lane—outdoors is where I shine! Squirrels, birds, rabbits—you name it, I’m on it. But don’t let my speed fool you; I’m also a pro at relaxing after a day of festive fun. Give me a comfy couch, some holiday movies, and I’m your ultimate cuddle buddy. Last year, my journey hit a detour when I found myself in a shelter after my adopter left me behind. But I didn’t let that slow me down! I’ve been working on shedding those extra holiday pounds (down from 78 lbs to a sleek 60 lbs!) and am looking for my forever family to help me stay on track. With your help, I’ll be dashing through the snow in no time! ❄️ 🎅 Here’s why I’ll make your holidays merry and bright: 🎄 I’m great with other dogs, cats, and kids—perfect for a bustling holiday home. 🎄 I’m housebroken, crate-trained, and full of love—Santa himself would approve! 🎄 I balance my high-energy squirrel chases with cozy snuggle sessions—best of both worlds! If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, loving, and adventurous pup into your home, I’m ready to make your holiday season unforgettable. Fill out that adoption app, and let’s race into a lifetime of love and laughter. 🎁 Love, Miss McQueen 🐾

Story
🎉 Meet Izzy, Your New Year's Resolution! 🎉 Are you ready to start 2025 with a bang? Izzy is a 64-pound, spayed sweetheart who’s ready to help you crush your goals for the year ahead! With her moderate activity level, she’ll happily join you on those “new year, new me” walks, followed by plenty of couch time as you catch up on your favorite shows. What’s Izzy’s deal? Diet: She’s on hydrolyzed Royal Canin, so she’s got her nutrition game down pat. Pets: Dogs of any size? Yes, please! Cats? Hard pass. Training: Crate trained, house trained, and always ready to learn—just set some clear boundaries, and she’ll stay on track! Kids: Older kiddos are her vibe. Small kids haven’t been tested, but this curious girl can be a bit of a freight train with her enthusiasm. Her Favorites: Booty Rubs: ALL day, every day. Seriously, she can’t get enough. Hard Toys: Soft toys don’t stand a chance, but give her something sturdy, and she’s in heaven. Her Bed: It’s her personal throne. Playmates: She’d thrive with a doggy sibling to romp around with. Izzy isn’t a lap dog, but if you get down to her level, she’ll happily soak up your love without jumping all over you. She’s as sweet as they come and promises to make 2025 your best year yet! 💫 Start the New Year with Izzy by your side—apply today and give her the forever home she’s been dreaming of! 💫

Story
Location: Springboro, OH Food: Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein, prescription food Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention My name is Sweet Pea, and so is my attitude! I am so full of love for anyone who talks nice to me. My ears perk up, my feet get to stompin and booty gets to hoppin whenever you say my name. My last chapter of life was hard on my body, so I lost quite a bit of fur. Bath time with special shampoo really helps me feel pretty again, and I'm a good girl in the bath! I get along really well with my foster brothers! Ive learned how to play and even chew on toys. I'm very quiet in my crate. And when I'm not in my crate, I love to follow my foster dad around. He's my favorite! He makes me feel really special and safe! My foster family thinks I'm so silly with my special dance I do. I love to dance! I dance when you sit next to me, when I want to play, when I'm excited, and just because I've got a little boogie that needs to come out! My ideal family will have lots of love to give me, and will want a cute little dancing shadow to follow them around!

Story
Location: Dayton, OH Food: Wellness Core Ocean Medication: Monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Kiki here…I am looking for my new furever home. I am a friendly little girl who loves people of all ages. I do get along with other dogs, but I need time to decompress and feel comfortable and a slow introduction would be best. I can be a little bossy, so I need some strict boundaries until I am fully settled in. I’m just used to being spoiled, but I’m not opposed to sharing as long as whoever adopts me enforces those boundaries. I would probably do best with another dog that doesn’t care that I am in charge. I am not, however, willing to share my space with any cats or other small animals. My traits: super snuggle bug, cheese-lover, fully potty trained, did I mention lover of cheese? I am crate trained, although it’s not my favorite place. Will collapse and flop over if I think it will elicit pets. Will eat cheese of all types. I do well on car rides. Oh, and I love cheese!
