Story
Mama Joan and her babies got off to a rough start. This family was passed through a couple of homes before they were surrendered to Rico with Parvo. They were all treated, and they all recovered!Joan weighs 18 lbs and her estimated age is about 3 years old. Joan is crate-trained, gets along with the foster's resident dogs and seems to have been loved by someone at one time. She would love her own human to snuggle with on the couch and live her best life! Joan is especially fond of women. Joan LOVES her puppies and was the perfect protective Mama as she was passed through homes and treated at vets. Joan has attached herself to her foster mom so we know that she can form meaningful attachments with people. Joan is very friendly and just wants to be near her people.When Joan was placed on a trial adoption, it became evident that she was extremely attached to her puppies and would not do well separated from all of them. Therefore, Rico would prefer for Joan to be adopted together with her daughter, Sylvia.Sylvia is tiny (8.5 lbs.), and very agile. She has made progress trusting humans; however, she still has a way to go. Sylvia initially squirmed away from her fosters as far as she could go and would not take food from their hands. Now she checks each finger for a treat, curls up next to her fosters to sleep on the couch, plays with her fosters, and lets her fosters rub her belly or scratch her back. Sylvia is not a fan of being picked up, but she will tolerate it since she knows a treat will follow. Her date of birth is 12.7.24.Both Joan and Sylvia are making great progress at potty training with scheduled potty times outside and a pocketful of treats. Both dogs make eye contact with their foster mom to make sure she is watching while they do their business and then run to her for a treat after.A fence is a must for these pups. They are not comfortable going potty while on leash.These pups would be the perfect addition to the right home. Until then, her foster parents will love them to pieces. You can apply to meet Joan and her daughter Sylvia at ricopetrecovery.org.

Story
Sylvia (brindle pug mix) is hanging with her fosters while she waits for the perfect home that will meet her where she is at. Sylvia, her Mama, and siblings got off to a rough start. This family was passed through a couple of homes before they were surrendered to Rico with Parvo. Sylvia was the only pup not diagnosed with Parvo, but she was treated anyway since it was just a matter of time before she also would have parvo.Sylvia is tiny (8.5 lbs.), and very agile. She has made progress trusting humans; however, she still has a way to go. Sylvia initially squirmed away from her fosters as far as she could go and would not take food from their hands. Now she checks each finger for a treat, curls up next to her fosters to sleep on the couch, plays with her fosters, and lets her fosters rub her belly or scratch her back. Sylvia is not a fan of being picked up, but she will tolerate it since she knows a treat will follow. Her date of birth is 12.7.24.It would probably be best for Sylvia to be adopted with her Mama (Joan). Joan weighs in at 18 lbs and is especially fond of women. Joan LOVES her puppies and was the perfect protective Mama as she was passed through homes and treated at vets. Joan has attached herself to her foster mom so we know that she can form meaningful attachments with people. Joan's estimated age is about 3 years old. Both dogs are making great progress at potty training with scheduled potty times outside and a pocketful of treats. Both dogs make eye contact with their foster mom to make sure she is watching while they do their business and then run to her for a treat after.A fence is a must for these pups. A trial adoption for Joan taught her foster parents that she was too busy watching out for other people or animals to relax and potty while on leash. These pups would be the perfect addition to the right home. Until then, her foster parents will love them to pieces. You can apply to meet Sylvia and her mama, Joan at ricopetrecovery.org.

Story
Meet Mimzy, a brave 9-year-old Shih Tzu looking for her forever home. Mimzy’s journey hasn’t been easy—she was rescued from a puppy mill and was even sent to the vet for euthanasia before she was given a second chance at life. Despite everything, Mimzy is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. Due to a few teeth being removed, her adorable little tongue often sticks out, adding to her charm. She’s excited to meet new people but can be a bit shy, as she’s still adjusting to the warmth and security of a real home. Mimzy will need some patience and training as she learns to trust and thrive in her new life. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a resilient spirit, Mimzy would be the perfect addition to your family. With time and care, she’ll blossom into the loyal, affectionate friend you’ve been waiting for.

Story
Meet Palmer!   This sweet, 3 year old, 11lbs Shih Tzu girl is ready for her first home!    Palmer came to us from a large scale breeder. Most of her life was spent in a kennel with multiple other dogs. Despite that she is the sweetest girl!!   Palmer can still be skittish in new situations, but warms up quickly! Once she is comfortable with you she loves affection and being the center of attention. She is the perfect princess lap dog!    This girl also loves exploring the backyard and running around. She hasn’t had much leash experience so a fenced in yard is best for her. She does well with other dogs and cats! She would also be fine as a solo pup!    Small children are a little overwhelming for Palmer, but she does great with older kids and adults!    Palmer is spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and had a recent dental cleaning! She is also crate trained and doing well on house breaking!   If you are looking for the most precious little companion, please visit our website and apply for Palmer: https://www.prodogsohio.org/adoptables   Her adoption fee is $350   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We appreciate your support, in order to help us continue to rescue dogs!
