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.

Say Hello To Our New Arrival! This sweet dog has just joined us, and we're thrilled to welcome them to our care.

Story
Gemma was found as a stray who was very sick. She was taken to the emergency vet who discovered that she had bone fragments in her intestines which were causing irritation. After some medication and fluid therapy, Gemma is as good as new. Through the entire process, though it was very clear the poor thing was not feeling well, Gemma was on her best behavior. She still accepted pets, gave kisses, and sat completely still for her blood draws and fluids. Gemma wants all the love and attention she can get. We did discover throughout her stay that Gemma also has luxating patellas, so we have started giving her joint supplements which she may need for life to keep her comfortable. We are exploring surgical treatment options as well, and will be looking for a foster to adopt home for her recovery. Gemma has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)

Introducing the delightful Hondo!Hondo is a 6-year-old Akita weighing approximately 92 pounds.

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.

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 will get an idea soon on how he is with cats. 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. February 26, 2025, 12:35 pm
