Story
I am an Air Force Vet and first time dog owner, I found Duke at a local dog shelter. He was around 1 year old when I adopted him about a year ago. Duke is a veryyy friendly dog absolutely loves people and loves to cuddle he will lay down with you all day on the couch and not move if you let him. The reason I am looking to rehome is because I am a single guy and my schedule is really busy as a full time student and soccer coach and that means I have to leave Duke in a crate for the majority of the day and even when I am home I cant spend much time with him because of my school work. I feel Duke would do very well in a house with multiple people to give him attention and able to take him out to run around a be a young dog. Duke is very well trained he knows sit, down, crate, heel/tight, free, he is even trained on E-collar and will recall with the tone sound. Please feel free to ask any questions about him!

Story
Milo is one of the best dogs. He is energetic, lovable, and listens very well. His biggest flaw is that he is a 45lb lap dog.I have had him since he was 3 months old, he gets along with other humans, kids, cats, and most dogs. I unfortunately do not think he will be fit with another MALE dog now. He recently was attacked at a park by another male dog and has since shown severe anxiety because of it, with medications not deeming 100% helpful. I have to let my loving boy go because I own two other male dogs that he now shows anxiety and reaction over. He still gets along just fine with the cats, and his doggy sister. He will be the best cuddler, best shoulder to cry on, and the best adventure pal you could ask for. He just needs a loving space without another boy dog.

Hi, my name is Isabella, Izzy for short! I listen for both names and I love to hear my name! I’m very playful, I love being around people and I enjoy running in open spaces! I really like when human food is cooked for me and I might just want to play tug of war all day or lay down by your feet! I’m very loyal and I know how to listen to many commands.

Story
Name: Kenny Gender: Male Age: 3 years old Current Weight: 47 pounds Expected Adult Size: Medium (25-50 lbs) Breed: Mixed Pit Bull/Jack Russell Energy Level: High Dog Friendly: Yes, and requires another dog in the home Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: Yes to kids 12 years old or older Apartment Friendly: No Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence required, 5'-6' height required.  No electric fence as Kenny has a high prey drive for yard critters Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home/Adopter: Kenny thrives on a calm home and a routine. He needs to be able to get his energy out by going on walks, playing with doggie friends, and playing with his people. He loves to snuggle in bed next to his person at night. He is a great sleeper! Kenny is a shy guy and still working on his confidence, so he will need an adopter with a little bit of patience as he transitions to a new home. What makes this dog special: Kenny has a heart full of love and a playful spirit to match! This affectionate boy is a champion cuddler, always ready to shower you with hugs and kisses. He is smart, knows his commands, and thrives on adventure- whether it's going for walks or romping around with his medium and large foster siblings. This boy is ready for a person/family that loves hiking, running, and FUN. To ensure his safety and happiness, Kenny needs a home with a 5-foot fence, no cats due to his strong prey drive, older children and a doggie sibling. He is an energetic pup who loves to explore, making daily walks a must and playtime with doggie pals. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, enthusiastic companion, Kenny might be your perfect match. He is up for a car ride at any time. Kenny is the entire package. Incredibly sweet, highly intelligent, super loving, and an affectionate workout partner. Kenny is looking for a place to enjoy his life with a new active person/family. Kenny is fully housebroken, walks well on a leash, and loves nothing more than spending his time with his person or persons, whether that be playing or cuddling on the couch. Kenny thrives on a routine. He is a unique dog, and we are hoping for that special person/family to come through and give this sweet boy a chance at the loving home he so richly deserves. Kenny's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved. ##1626790##
