Story

I first adopted Boomer in November of 2021, from a shelter while living in Florida! Which makes him about 7 years old. All of my friends and family commonly referred to as “the sweetest boy”. Probably because how much he loves to cuddle. His favorite things are going on jogs, hikes, or playing tug. He is a high energy dog when you want him to be but sleepy dog most of the time so he will be ready for any fun adventure! House trained and trained on basic commands. However, Boomer must be in a one dog household. My family and I recently had the blessing of bringing in the life of our son. Which puts us in a desperate situation due to the fact Boomer and one of his other brothers no longer get along. Hoping to find our pup a new forever home.

Story

Ripley is a spirited and energetic 3-year-old who’s ready to find her forever home! This active girl has a zest for life that’s unmatched—she loves to run and will happily destroy any toy that dares cross her path. Ripley is fantastic with other dogs and adores children, making her an excellent companion for a family with kids or other pups to play with. While Ripley isn’t a fan of cats and has a strong prey drive (squirrels beware!), she’s crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands like “sit.” Her determination and smarts make her highly trainable, especially since she’s very food- and treat-motivated. Before Ripley was rescued, she had a litter of puppies, and now it’s her turn to be the center of attention. She’s a people-lover through and through and will eagerly greet you—even if she sometimes forgets her manners and jumps up. With a little guidance, this eager-to-learn girl will quickly master whatever you teach her. Ripley is a perfect fit for an active home with lots of love and adventure to share. Are you ready for this bundle of joy to join your family? ##2223382##

Story

Yogi is a young, loving and playful boy. He is about a year and a half. My son found him running in a busy street while it was cold and raining. He did not want the dog to get hit so he brought him to me. I have a 22 month old and Yogi is GREAT with him. My toddler will climb on him, pull on him, and basically treats him like a jungle gym and Yogi seems to love it! Yogi loves the attention and my toddler will even lay on him and go to sleep and Yogi will just lay there and decide to nap with him. Yogi also does not seem to mind my cat and enjoys stealing her food but unfortunately, my cat does not feel the same way about him. I really do hate to give Yogi up as he is so loving, but my life as busy as it is, I simply cannot keep him long-term and give him the home he deserves.

**COME SEE ME at our next ADOPTION EVENT on Saturday, February 8 from 11 am - 2 pm at Tractor Supply in Columbia Station, 24100 Royalton Road. If you have an already approved application, it's possible you take your new friend home that day.** Hiya! I'm Holton, a 30lb Pit mix puppy, and I'm looking for my forever family. I found my way to this wonderful dog rescue after being thrown out of a moving car and suffering a spinal injury. I am mostly healed from that, but now I walk a little funny, almost like I'm drunk. I don't think I'm any different than other dogs, though, so it doesn't really bother me. At a follow-up appointment for my spinal injury, the vet noticed my heart sounded funny, so I went to see a specialist for hearts. They said I have a defect and will require medications for my whole life plus yearly visits to the cardiologist. Luckily, the problem with my heart shouldn't affect my life any. The amazing rescue I'm with said they will cover the costs of the medication and cardiologist visits for the rest of my life so that my forever family doesn't overlook me! I'm a puppy who is very toy-motivated. I especially like the ones that are good for chewing! I'm already crate-trained and almost fully potty-trained, but will need a patient family who can help me learn to walk properly on a leash. I sometimes think the leash is a toy, so I'll bite it when we are trying to walk! I would love to belong to a home that has another dog I can play with! I haven't been around cats or kids enough to know if I like them yet but probably should avoid super young kids because I'm still into puppy nipping. Despite my rough start to life, I am a silly young dog who loves everyone and is looking for an active family. If a goofy puppy with a wobbly walk sounds like a good fit for your family, then I'm the pup for you! Fill out an application to meet me ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters.

Story

Hi, my name is Rae! I’m a 75lb, 1-year-old Pit mix and I’d love to have a family to call my own. I’m crate-trained and potty-trained, but I’m not a fan of going outside alone. My foster mom always walks me outside so that I can do my business. I’m very cautious with everything and it takes me a little while to warm up to new people and situations. During the few weeks I’ve been with my foster mom, I have started to gain some confidence. I will need a patient family with a calm household to help me continue to come out of my shell. I’d prefer not to have any young kids in the house, as their activity makes me too nervous. When my foster mom has her grandkids over, I tend to retreat to my crate to avoid the commotion. I’m sure one day I will overcome my nerves, but I still need a little more time to gain some confidence in myself. My foster mom says that I’m still learning how to be a dog. I don’t play much and I’m not a huge fan of toys. I do love to chew on bones, though! They are my favorite. I do get the zoomies on occasion and boy am I fast! I love to snuggle with my foster mom. It took me a little time to warm up to her but I sure do love curling up next to her now. Hopefully, you have room in your house for a big snuggle bug! Fill out an application to meet me ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 1 Years Adoption fee: $ 250

Shadow

American Pit Bull Terrier

Avon Lake, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Why is this awesome dog still homeless!! Shadow does doggie daycare at Camp Bow Wow Westlake and she has a blast! She is a sweet, loving young female Pit mix weighing 45 lbs. Shadow is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows her basic commands (sit, stay, down). Shadow knows some tricks like "rollover". She walks well on lead. Shadow loves to play ball and run in the yard. We do not know how shadow would do living with cats so a cat-less home is best or we can arrange for a cat test with your cat. She met one cat and just seemed curious, not aggressive with the cat. Shadow is spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Shadow loves everyone she meets and she would make a great forever friend! Please consider Shadow! If you are interested in Shadow, please submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Shadow would be a good match for you and your family. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $100.00 If you have specific questions, please email the adoption coordinator at info@loveastraydog.com If you can't foster or adopt, please consider donating to help us with medical expenses and ongoing care. You can mail your donation to: Love-A-Stray, P.O. Box 125, Attn: Shadow, Avon Lake, OH 44012 or visit www.loveastraydog.com for credit card/PayPal information, adoption application, available dogs and upcoming events. Thank you!
