Story
PRICE NEGOTIABLE JUST WANT TO FIND HER A LOVING SAFE HOME Aries is a loving and affectionate dog. She is bit timid at first because of her past of being abused. She would need someone who is patient with her . Slow introductions are recommended. When she is comfortable with you she will never want to leave your side. She does have separation anxiety so I think she would flourish best with someone who is home more and has an open schedule to give her the time she needs to settle in her new home. She loves car rides , Playing fetch, kisses, cuddles and loves to be pet . She doesn’t bite nor has a past of biting. It is ideal for her that she is the only dog because of her timid nature.

Story
My wife and I have had the pleasure of owning Stella for over five years. We adopted her from a shelter when she was a young dog, roughly 6 months - one year. She is the sweetest pup. We planned on Stella staying with us for as long as she walked the earth, raising a family with her. That said, it has proved challenging over the past two years to give her the life she deserves while simultaneously raising a family. We have a two year old daughter and another child on the way. Due to Stella’s size, strength, and speed, we act with significant precaution to have our toddler walking around her. Stella has unintentionally knocked her over numerous times. This forces us to crate Stella often when our daughter is out and about, and we know this will only increase (as will our anxiety) as we bring another young one into the world. This is why we are looking to rehome her. Stella is extremely loyal, loving (she is the biggest snuggler), eager to please, and a lover of people.

Monty is an overall wonderful dog. We just unfortunately don’t have the time to give him the physical activity per day that he needs. He’s great with kids and our two cats. Does well on a leash if wearing a harness. Not reactive to cars. No problem with barking. Has good recall. Also crate trained.

Story
We are accepting applications for our sweet girl, Lorelai. She was a pull from Memphis Animal Services, on September 21, 2022. When she came to us she weighed 26lbs & was heartworm positive, She is with a foster who was getting her through her first few critical months, but still has her. She is more than ready for her furever love!! She is completely house trained, and is a very well behaved house guest. She loves all people, though she is more comfortable with her doggie friends who are more on the chill side. She has gone through her heartworm treatment, over 6 months ago. She is extremely sweet, despite all of the horrors that she endured before coming into our rescue.

Story
Hello, my name is Clooney! Clooney is a courtesy posting for a kind & loving family who sadly find themselves in a position of needing to lovingly rehome this gorgeous, sweet dog. Clooney wrote up a description of himself and he would like you to read it: "I am a mixed Brindle Pitbull breed and am about 3.5 years old. I am a big cuddle bug and sometimes don't even know my own size as I always sit with my owner on her recliner. Although we both don't fit very well, I love to snuggle . I have really big paws and I love to play with the hose in the summer. Its my favorite activity! I am so excited to see all the guests that come to my house to visit. Although I may need some work on jumping as I get so excited. I do really well with other dogs although I've never met any kitties. I think I may be just a tad rough with my house play that I may be best to be in a house with no children or adults only as I don't know my own strength. One of my other favorite past times is to lay in front of the fireplace on cold nights. I'm looking for my forever home and a family that I can continue to love unconditionally. Give me a few chew bones , an occasional toss of the stick and I will be the happiest big pitty ever! Take a peak at my adorable photos and I will melt your heart." If interested in adopting handsome Clooney, please submit an online application on the PAWS Ohio website @ www.pawsohio.org under the ADOPT tab. Thank you!
