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

Story
Bomber is a 3.5 year old American English coonhound. He is very affectionate, i.e he loves to cuddle. He's good with playing with other dogs, doesn't really mind cats, but loves their food, and allows children to play with him. A perfect day for him would be waking up at 10, going outside do his business, bark, come inside sleep, afternoon cuddles, bark some more, eat, and back to bed. He's a very chill dog, but has some major quirks. He's a coonhound so expect barking. Doesn't really play with toys, but will do tug a war, or if he does play with a toy it's by himself. He is very much a paradox. Both the most and least intelligent dog I've known. If there is a way of getting food off the counter he'll find it. Backstory: He was abused as a pup, rescued, failed adoption and returned, my friends adopted him, but could no longer deal with his personality, I adopted him for my OG pup cause they get along, but his personality... I truly do think he is a sweet boy and deserves a loving

Story
Hi! Henry was bought in northern Ohio and he is 4 years old. I am moving out of state for my job and I will have no yard. Henry is fun, silly, playful, and so loving. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. But with no yard and difficult hours with my new job and relocation I want to find Henry the best family and life situation for him. He has loved every animal, child, and human we have ever encountered. He loves to cuddle, run, play, and lay by a warm fire or heater. He is too good of a dog for city life so I am trying this option to see if I can match him with you.

Story
Hiya, I'm Piranha! I am a snazzy guy that found his way to Joseph's Legacy after becoming paralyzed as a young puppy. A real nice lady reached out and asked for help when she realized I couldn't use my back legs. After arriving, x-rays were preformed where it was confirmed that I have a fractured back which is pinching my spinal column. Due to the damage, I am unable to use my back legs to walk, but don't you dare feel sorry for me! I am a happy go lucky guy who uses these cool wheels to get around! I am just like any other young dog, just cooler since I ride around all day in style! A few things I love to do in my wheels is romp around with my foster siblings and play a good game of tug-o-war! We all run in the backyard together and we do this cool thing called racing to see who can be the first down the ramp! In my foster home I also have feline friends that I love to give kisses to, but they don't seem very appreciative of my love! My favorite foster sibling is the 2 legged one who brings me all the snacks I want and gives me all the belly rubs I can handle! I like to think I am an easy guy to take care of. Foster mom lets me hang out in this spacious playpen where I take naps and eat my meals. Mom doesn't diaper me while I'm in my playpen and I do my best not to make a mess for her to clean up. I do like to wear my diaper while I'm rolling around in my wheels just so I don't make a big mess. My ideal forever home would be someone who will give me all the love and attention I deserve! I would like to either have a 2 legged or 4 legged sibling to help keep me company, but I'm not a picky guy! I do prefer a house with no steps so that I don't hurt myself and it makes it easier for me to get around! If you think I sound like the perfect guy for you, send us your application and we can set up our first date to find out if it is love at first sight

Story
Meet Henrietta! Miss Henry is 35lb., female, Hound mix. She is fully Vetted., crate and potty trained, and walks well on leash. She loves other dogs and I would recommend a home that already has (at least) one dog, if not more. She is fine with cats. Children need to mind their Ps and Qs with her only because chaos frightens her. Henry, Henrietta was found running around in backyards and a huge pond area for weeks. This girl kept me running up to Huber Hts. every night for two weeks working on gaining her confidence. Poor baby was scared of her own shadow and that hasnt improved much. She will need an adopter with a great deal of patience and understanding but the love is well worth the wait. She is scared of sudden movements, loud noises and abhors any change in her routine, once you have one established. Miss Henry will need a home with a fenced yard. Having said all that, Henrietta is a complete love, once she trusts you. She has the softest fur and is the most beautiful fawn color. This baby will be hard to part with and I will be extremely picky when it comes to choosing her furever home, she will come to you carrying a piece of my heart but she needs a family to call her very own, is that your family?

Story
MEET DREXIE!!! Miss Drexie is a (DOB 06/08/20) beautiful female PiPei (Pit Bull/Shar-Pei mix). She is just as sweet as she looks. She loves other dogs. Unknown with cats. Would do best with older children because she is still learning her manners. It was determined that the bow in her front legs was (most likely) intentional as she did have bilateral broken bones that have healed. She had had a few litters in her short little life. Drexie was rescued from a hoarding case in Dayton where she only knew life on a logging chain. Better days since then and better life ahead of her. Our girl is now fully Vetted and looking for her furever home.
