Eclipse is a 7 month old pittie mix. He's a big ball of energy and has been really enjoying the numerous stuffed squeaky toys around the house! He is very playful with the other dog in the house. Once he is played out, he's a great cuddler. He does wonderful in the crate both over night and during the day while no one is home (needs a little help to go in, but no potty accidents so far while in the crate). He is working on house training and some learning some manners like sit and walking on a leash.

Guppy is a 4 month old pittie mix. She is the sweetest dog. She just wants to cuddle close and follow you around. She is currently trying to get over a bit of kennel cough so she is a bit reserved and we are excited to see her thrive as she recovers. She is great with other dogs and you’ll often find her cuddle up in a bed with one of her foster siblings. Guppy was found by Cleveland Animal. Are and Control with her little fish toy, hence why we gave her that name. She can’t wait to find her forever home to cuddle up in!

Story
Hi my name is Goji Berry but I go by Goji. I am a 7 month old pitbull. I was having trouble eating when I was around 5 weeks old so I went to the vet and found out I have Hydrocephalus. It was touch and go for a bit but was thriving in my special needs foster home. I have had some issues with anemia and have had a blood transfusion but have been doing great since. I have a mild case of Hydrocephalus and am on a few medications which includes Omeprazole (for my hydrocephalus) Vitamin B12 tablet - CoBalequin (for my anemia) and a probiotic - Proviable - Forte for my stomach because I have loose stools. I am still learning a few things including, potty training, I will use puppy pads in the house but sometimes still have accidents. I need to learn not to eat everything in sight and not to chew on things, and am learning basic commands. I am very smart but, learning commands has taken me longer because of my condition. I do like other dogs and puppies if they aren't bossy. I like to chase cats and pick on them, but don't hurt them. I am a vocal girl. I would require someone who is home all the time bc I need to be watched to make sure I don't eat things I shouldn't, and I will require a patient owner who will be willing to take their time with me as I take time to learn. Younger kids would not be ideal but older children would be. I am still learning to not bite hard. I like to eat my food to fast, so I eat out of a slow feeder bowl. I am utd on my shots and will be getting spayed soon

Story
Kane is a very shy and sweet boy. He will need an adopter that is familiar with the breed and knows how to help him gain confidence. He is not a candidate for an adopter that hasn't had dogs in the past or any adopters with small children. He is crate and house trained for the most part. He does get nervous when you leave and sometimes has accidents in his crate. He is dog selective and would do best in a home with no other dogs. Kane is very smart and rings a bell on the door when he has to go outside to potty! He loves to nap on your lap and would make a great work from home buddy. He was abused when he was a little puppy and has an unusual bark. He's been through a lot and needs an adopter that will be patient while he adjusts to his new home.   Kane is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, neutered , microchipped, dewormed and on flea/heartworm prevention.    Kane’s adoption fee is $200.     The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application. Interested applicants can apply at:    https://www.scarohio.org/adoption-application October 14, 2024, 12:24 am

Meet Frazier, our resilient companion who`s been waiting for over a year and a half to find his forever home. Frazier, a 7-year-old Pit Bull mix weighing 46 pounds, is a little bundle of energy that can`t get enough of his toys! His absolute favorite? Rope toys for endless rounds of tug-of-war. Frazier`s enthusiasm extends to his love for walks, and each morning, he`s eager to run around and explore the great outdoors. This cuddly and goofy pup has so much love to give, and he can`t wait to find that special someone who`ll appreciate his unique charm. As you can see from his adorable video, he is venturing into the world of dock diving and has been doing wonderfully so far. He would definitely make a great companion for someone who loves the water as much as he does!Despite the challenges, Frazier`s heart is full of love, and he`s ready to share it with his new best friend. However, Frazier prefers to be the only dog in his forever home due to some nervousness around other dogs. For a peaceful and loving environment, if there are children in his forever home, he`s seeking a family with children ages 16 and older.If Frazier is too cute to pass up, please stop in at our new shelter to meet him!
