Hi there! I'm Tuesday, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! If you're interested in adopting me or just want to learn more, please reach out to Rachael at 440-773-0270 to set up a meet-and-greet. Here's a bit about me: Housebroken: I'll let you know when I need to go outside by ringing bells or giving you a nudge. Crate-trained: I'm comfortable in my crate, especially if I have some treat-filled toys to keep me occupied. I might get a bit too excited with the toys, though, so it's best to use them mainly when I'm in the crate. Free-roaming: I'm trusted to stay out of the crate now! While my foster mom is at work, I enjoy napping, watching squirrels, or playing with my toys. Quick learner: I know commands like sit, down, stay, come, shake paw, no-jump, and off. I'm still working on heeling, but I can do it on either side. I understand "okay as a cue to relax. Toy lover: I enjoy a variety of toys-fetching them, bringing them to you, or just playing by myself. Active and athletic: Whether it's walking, jogging, or running, I'm up for it! If you prefer a quieter activity, I love running around a yard. Car rides: I'm a pro at car rides and enjoy trips to different places, like the Metro Park. Snuggly: Once I get to know you, I'm all about cuddles and giving kisses! Social skills: I'm working on meeting new dogs. I can be a bit nervous at first, but I warm up quickly. Especially to younger dogs that are respectful. Special needs: I'd be happiest in a home without other animals or a younger dog that will give me time to warm up. I do think I would rather not live with small kids because I don't really like to share my food and toys. If I sound like a good fit for you, get in touch with Rachael at 440-773-0270 to arrange a meeting. I can't wait to meet you and see if we're a perfect match!

Whitney is in a foster home. To meet her, contact Rachael at 440-773-0270 Whitney's adoption comes with a free year of baths and grooming from Kismet K9 grooming in Berea! Whitney isn't just looking for someone to dance with; she's also searching for the perfect snuggle buddy! She's the ideal combination of playful and laid-back, making her a wonderful companion for anyone seeking both excitement and relaxation. This sweet girl adores children and loves all humans, but she's "Saving all her Love for You" and prefers to be the only pet in the home. Whitney excels as a car rider, is house trained, and crate trained, although she doesn't need to stay in a crate when left alone. She's mastered basic commands like sit and down, making her a joy to train and interact with. Here's what Whitney's foster has to say about her: "Whitney is a loving, affectionate companion. She greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and a request for lots of pets! She enjoys going for walks and car rides, and she's especially fond of food and treats. While she enjoys playing with toys, Whitney's favorite pastime is snuggling up with you for some love and affection. She's not a fan of loud noises or screaming and prefers to hide. Whitney has a charming low rumble instead of barking. She's housebroken and comfortable in a crate. If you're ready to welcome a devoted and affectionate companion into your life, Whitney is waiting to meet you! Contact Rachael today to arrange a meeting with this loving pup.

Story
Are you looking for a spunky gal who tells you exactly what she wants? Then look no further than perfect Pippa! Pippa is a 5 and a half year old Coonhound and weighs about 60 lbs. Anyone who meets her knows she is as smart as she is sassy! Pippa is not shy to let volunteers know when she needs to go out, when she wants to play, and when she's ready to nap. She makes volunteers laugh when she rolls halfway on her back and falls asleep with her front feet in the air and ears falling over her bed. In addition to being smart, Pippa is also strong, but so are her training skills! She is a graduate of our Grafton training program, and although it may take some practice with her new owners, Pippa is treat you motivated which helps with training. The best furever home for Pippa would be one without small children, as she LOVES her toys too much to share. Pippa is adorable in that she is crazy about fun toys, but she also is very protective over them, so older children or adults only is a must. Although Pippa doesn't mind other dogs, she can be selfish with her toys and food so we believe she would do best in a home without other dogs. She also loves to be active and exercise. Everyone who walks her knows she loves a good back scratch in the grass, to stretch out in the sunshine, and get some excited walks in. If you believe this smart and spunky Coonhound should be your newest family member, please reach out to her consultant Rachael at 440-773-0270.

Barry is in a foster home. To meet him, text Rachael at 4407730270. Have you ever wished for your own personal weighted blanket? For the low, low price of unlimited kisses and treats you can have a perfectly adorable 57 lb weighted doggie blanket of love! Barry is a 7 year old pit bull/ American terrier mix who loves everyone! Although people may be wary of his breed he is truly a special pup with a heart of gold. He has never met a stranger and immediately starts thumping his tail and politely waiting for pets when he meets someone new. As a total gentleman he never jumps and rarely barks! Barry's kind demeanor shines through during his interactions with feline friends. Take a look at the adorable video of him playing gently with his kitty foster sibling! Although Barry is kind and gentle with smaller creatures he is uneasy around bigger dogs. True to his gentle spirit, he does not chew anything in the home, is house trained, and has done beautifully while uncrated for hours at a time in his foster home. Barry is blind in his right eye but this hardly slows him down. He loves to go on walks and navigates surprisingly well with some gentle guidance. He is still working on his leash manners but his people pleasing nature suggests that with some training he could be a star on the leash! This brave pup navigates well but does need a little extra encouragement when he first encounters stairs since depth perception can be more challenging. Barry is so easy to love and is just waiting for his forever family to find him. Could that be you? Come give this amazing guy a chance and you'll be guaranteed a lifetime supply of kisses, snuggles, and love!
