Story
Meet Bear – Your New Best Friend Bear is a 110-pound Akita with a big heart and even bigger personality. He’s playful, affectionate, and loves to be around people. He gives the best kisses, enjoys playing, and is always up for a walk or some attention. Bear is great with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a wonderful family companion. He’s also up to date on all his vaccinations and ready to settle into his new home. Because he loves to explore, Bear will need a secure, fenced-in yard to keep him safe. He’s easy to love, incredibly loyal, and happiest when he’s included in daily life. I recently had a baby and, sadly, can’t give Bear the time and attention he deserves. I’m looking for a loving home with someone who understands large breeds and will give Bear the care, playtime, and affection he thrives on. If you’re ready for a devoted, playful companion, Bear is ready to meet you.

Story
Say hello to Ursa!She is a 3 year old Akita mix who weighs about 66 pounds. Ursa is a nervous girl when meeting new people, but with a bit of time and patience she is a friend for life. She loves being outside and exploring the world around her, but she is just as happy to be cuddled up on the couch. She loves lying in the sunshine and is always ready for a long walk. Ursa can be shy at first with new dogs, but she really seems to enjoy being around other dogs, so she shows potential to live in a home with another dog if they`re a goo match. Due to her shy nature, if there are kids in her forever home they need to be ages 13 and older. If Ursa looks like the girl for you, stop in today to meet this beautiful girl!

Story
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.

Story
Meet Rocky. Saved from an overcrowded shelter in southern OH. A great dog. Rocky appears to maybe a Husky/Shepherd mix. He is about 2 years old and 50 lbs. Rocky appears to be dog friendly. We think he may do best in a cat free home. Rocky has been in a kennel way too long and is craving a home setting. He is a wonderful, friendly dog. He will need regular exercise and would be great as a jogging partner. Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccines and is heart worm negative. He did test positive for Lyme but has no clinical signs. He is in doxycycline for a month as a precaution but no further treatment will be needed. His adoption fee is $180. If interested in Rocky, please email hartmanshounds@gmail.com. May 22, 2025, 9:01 pm
