Story
I am rehoming Sadie for a friend of mine who just wasn’t able to keep up with her needs. She has been kept up in a bedroom for majority of her life and was severely malnourished when I discovered her. She longs for company and to be able to freely run outside, so a fenced in backyard is preferred. She is the sweetest dog ever and will try her hardest to not let you down. She just wants affection. She has the best “SIT” I’ve ever seen and I wish I could take her myself but I already have 2 dogs and am relocating soon. Because Sadie was underfed for so long, her stomach is sensitive and has to go quite often. But she will always let you know she has to go, and is very sad and ashamed when she can’t hold it. Which isn’t her fault, but she has been treated as so. I’m not sure if her exact age and breed, but am sure she is a loving and sweet girl with a hysterical personality that deserves lots of space and attention

Harper is an 6-year old Standard Poodle. She is a bonded pair with her sister Willow (8 years old) and would like to find a new home with her sister. Harper enjoys long walks, fetching tennis balls, and snuggles. She can be timid at first, but warms up quickly. She adores children and can be playful yet gentle. Harper and Willow’s owners can no longer care for her and she is in need of a loving home.

Story
Ralphie was rescued from a kill shelter in New York City. He was dropped off at Animal Care Centers of NY on Nov 24, 2023. Happy Go Lucky Mastiff Rescue (located in Maryland) sponsored a foster in Albany, NY to get him out of the shelter in early December. The foster caregiver had to relocate, so I picked Ralphie up in Albany, NY on May 1, 2024 and brought him to Ohio. Ralphie is microchipped, but his name was not available, so we used his shelter ID (RAL188002) and after referring to him as Ral so often, I suggested we just call him Ralphie. Ralphie was neutered in April before I picked him up and he received all shots required in New York. He has all shots required for Ohio. Ralphie is reactive to other dogs and pulls very hard whenever he is on a leash. Ralphie may not be a good fit for households with young children because he is so energetic and often gets the zoomies. I am working with Ralphie to fix his behavior issues, and I think that he really can be a good boy!

Story
If you have high energy and love playtime, Butcher is the dog for you! Just like his namesake, he is definitely one of the boys! Butcher is a very active dog that loves running around and letting his voice be heard. He is a big dog that thinks he is a lap dog and loves attention. He is a 4 1/2 year old whos mom was a Pit and dad was half German Shepard and half Husky and you can definitely tell in the wintertime when he loves playing in the snow. Butcher is such a bundle of energy and doesn't realize his own size, that he might be a bit too much for small kiddos and has difficulties when leashed. Butcher is so excited to find his perfect match!! Please reach out with any and all questions!

Story
Denver is a pure breed with papers, he is 2 years old. Unfortunately our other dog keeps trying to fight with him. We have to keep them separated and it's hard with a new baby. He gets along with all our dogs but I know it would be easier to find a loving home for Denver who is sweet, loves to cuddle, is hyper and loves to be outside. I hate to find him a home but he deserves a home where he doesn't need to be separated from other dogs or put away sometimes when he does nothing wrong.
