Story
Prince finds himself euth listed, due to a bite history. A bite that was absolutely caused by human error! He is great with other dogs, and was a super sweetheart when she had him out in the play yard. He came from an awful hoarding situation with 28 dogs, most of whom have been adopted out already. He knows basic commands, is about 4 years old, 95 lbs., and would make a perfect new family member with a strong adopter & a quiet home. We can only take him if we can find a foster. Once we find a committed, approved foster, he will be going to our trainer for an assessment. As always, all food, vetting, toys, treats, etc… is covered by our rescue, while under foster. Preference given to foster to adopt.

Story
Shamus is a handsome little guy who is about 4-month-old and a black Lab/Retriever mix. With a heart as big as his loving energy, Shamus is the definition of puppy joy—full of love, curiosity, and boundless playful energy. Whether he’s chasing toys, wrestling with his doggy friends, or curling up for snuggles after a big day of play, he’s always spreading smiles. He’s great with other dogs, especially those who can keep up with his fun-loving spirit, and he’s also cat-friendly and kid-approved! With a little guidance and lots of love, Shamus is going to grow into the most loyal and loving companion you could ever ask for. If you're looking for a happy, playful pup to brighten your days, Shamus will be ready to join your home by the end of April 2025!

Story
“Hello, my name is Dexter! The nice folks at PAWS Ohio rescue are courtesy posting me on their website as my loving family faces some important challenges. I am a male pure-bred German Shepherd with lots of love to give. I am an affectionate, athletic, friendly, loyal, and protective dog. I am 3 and half years old, neutered and current with vaccinations. I am very smart, and loyal to my human family. I don't mean to brag, but people tell me I am very handsome! I hope you will consider adopting me! I have been well-cared for and have lived with the same family since I was a baby puppy. I am up to date on all my vaccinations; and I am neutered and healthy. I am an indoor pet dog. I am great family dog. I may be a little dog-reactive, so I would do best in a home without other dogs. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an adoption application at www.pawsohio.org under the ADOPT tab. Thank you, Dexter.”

Looking to adopt a new fur baby? Look no further because Sparky needs a home! This gorgeous purebred (AKC) Akita is not only a stunner, but she's also loyal, friendly, and loving. With her athletic build, she's always down for a run around the yard, and she's just waiting for someone to give her all the pets and love she deserves. Although Sparky is a bit unsure about other dogs and cats, she's a people person through and through! She would do best in an adult-only home where she can be the center of attention. Prefer fenced in yard. Sparky is a wonderful companion, and she can't wait to meet you! Sparky is 1 year old, current with vaccinations and spayed. Please complete an adoption application found at our PAWS OHIO website: www.pawsohio.com under the ADOPT tab. Thank you.

Hi Great Dog Lovers out there! We are courtesy posting a lovely dog for an amazing local Cleveland Rescue Group. This dog's a beauty! A Dutch Shepherd (these lovely dogs originate from the Netherlands, how cool is that)? Meet Ruie Sweet, Energetic Young Female seeking forever home. Looking for a loving home for a playful 1.5 to 2-year-old female who needs a caring person ready to help her reach her full fantastic potential. Despite being left at the kennel by her original owners this enthusiastic girl did not let that get her down and was excited when her new owners rescued her. With every good intent her new family found out that she needed more attention than their busy lives can provide at this time, and they want to do right by her. She loves soaking up the sun, going for car rides, snuggling on the sofa or just being her super playful and athletic happy self. She has lots of love to give, and is smart and sensitive at the same time. She would thrive with someone who can give her the dedicated time to love, mixed with exercise. Ideal home would include: -Experience with young, active dogs. -Commitment and patience to positive reinforcement training. -A secure fenced yard for play and exercise, she is athletic and can jump lower fencing. She's great with people and has been to doggy school learning the basics. This pup has so much potential and love to give, ready to be your best friend ever. Rehoming Post: Application and home visit required, rehoming fee in the form of a donation to SEHS. For inquiries please call Deb with SEHS at 216-225-5526.

Shades

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos
Lyndhurst, OH
Size

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Shades is a velvety little nugget of a girl—sweet, playful, and full of love once she trusts you. We rescued her from a local shelter where she was at risk due to an isolated incident involving a visitor entering her previous home unexpectedly. While in the shelter’s care, Shades never had any issues and spent a lot of time in the office, happily hanging out and loving all of the attention from staff. She’s now safe with one of our wonderful fosters and is patiently waiting for her forever home. Shades will thrive in a calm, adult-only environment, preferably with other pups, because they bring out the best in her. She does extremely well with cats, and is crate and house trained. Now that she’s settling into her foster home, we are able to really learn how she does in a home setting. Let’s get this girl the happy ending she deserves!
