From Rufus' foster mom - "We rescued Rufus from Cleveland Kennel a few months ago. He was hit by a car and a nice lady called the dog warden because she heard him crying in the woods for 2 days. He had a fracture his left hip (which we surgically repaired) and a broken right leg that healed with a cast and crate rest. After recovering for 3 months he is ready for a home. He is housebroken, crate trained, lives with other dogs and cats. Loves them. He is a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a treat and a ball and he's ur new friend. Knows sit and shake. Very smart young man" Apply to adopt Rufus at www.mercysdoorpetrescue.org.

Story
Smokey is a sweetie. She’s very food motivated but not at all food aggressive. She loves any food you’ll give her, except peanut butter flavored treats. She loves peanut butter though.  Speaking of food, she is the most regular dog I’ve ever known when it comes to going potty. A couple minutes after she eats she’s ready to go at the door. She doesn’t like the rain but is fine in the snow. She’s definitely a princess.  She has this ripped apart old duck stuffed animal (sans stuffing) that she loves. She loves her naps, especially on the couch.  She’s awesome with our toddler. He hugs on her all the time. The one day I also caught him putting wood boards on her & started climbing on the boards…she just laid there!  She gets spurts of energy which is really cute to see in an older dog. She still likes to play!

**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

Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Goose is an incredibly sweet boy with a lot of energy. He would do best in a home where he can have lots of room to run and outside time. Goose can get a little bit anxious and antsy without stimulation. He gets nervous around other dogs and is okay with children if he is told "be gentle". Goose's former owner said that he is friendly and playful with cats, so if you have an outgoing, unafraid cat it should be fine, but if you own a timid cat, it might not be the best match. Goose 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)

Story
If you want to see some cute videos of me, scroll to the end of the pictures and watch right from here! If I do not currently have any videos up, just have some patience. Petey is in a foster home. To meet him, please text Rachael at 440-773-0270. Meet Petey, a lovable mix of charm, strength, and playfulness! This handsome boy is all about adventure, whether it's a walk through the neighborhood or a breezy car ride with the wind in his fur. Petey's playful spirit lights up with tug-of-war games, window gazing, fetching his favorite Kong ball, or splashing around during bath time. He's a clever pup, already mastering "sit and excited to learn even more! Petey's affectionate side shines as he curls up on your lap or politely asks for a play session during TV time. While he's still working on his manners around food, he's a well-mannered sleeper, resting peacefully in his cozy kitchen spot through the night. It is impossible not to smile and laugh with Petey’s adorable personality. Recently, we discovered Petey's love for canine friends-he's thrilled to make new dog buddies! He truly loves other dogs, making him an excellent option for a furever home with other dogs! Please note a meet and greet is required if you have other dogs in the home. Best of all, Petey is a natural swimmer and dock diver, with a true passion for the water. He'd be thrilled to join an active family that lets him enjoy regular swim time. If you're ready for a loyal, fun-loving companion who's eager to shower you with love, Petey is waiting to bring endless joy to your home!

Story
Meet Gunner: Loyal, Hilarious, Adventure Buddy! This is heartbreaking to write because Gunner is my favorite dog I have ever owned. He is loyal, loving, and absolutely hilarious. Gunner loves adventures, riding 4-wheelers, running through the woods, and especially swimming. He could spend all day in the water, and watching him swim for the first time was unforgettable. He even loves fire and embers; the white on his face is from fur growing back after one of his curious adventures. After two years, we had to make the tough decision to rehome him. Gunner struggles with other animals and kids. While he loves his dog siblings, playtime can get too rough. After numerous incidents with his sister we had to make this tough decision. Gunners perfect home: Adults only, no other pets, and someone who loves the outdoors as much as he does. He is smart, goofy, and full of love.
