Story
Meet Bright! The first time you see him you will be captivated by his smile! He is the happiest dog you will ever meet & OMG he is so smart! If you’re holding a treat he will sit, come & even stand up & beg!! Bright is the size of a Kelpie with German shepherd coloring & fur! We can’t afford to DNA test so we’re going to guess that he’s a super mutt! He is around 1.5 year old & 46 lbs! He has a very shepherd personality who’s been through professional behavior training so he’s an incredibly talented guy but still has a goofball side. Bright may be well trained but personality os personality and he’s not compatible with young children or small animals. We do require participation in learning his training skills to make sure he’s the right fit forever. Bright is smart, sassy & bouncy! He loves toys & will do anything for a treat. Bright is good in a crate, loves the car & would love to be the center of your world!! Apply to adopt him today!! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   November 14, 2025, 7:43 pm

Story
Freya is a fantastic 1 year old blue heeler. I got her when she was 2 months old but soon after became pregnant with my first child and my partner and I simply do not have the time or energy to give her the exercise and enrichment she needs. She is extremely smart, but also stubborn and needs lots of exercise and enrichment which is why she needs an experienced owner. She currently lives with my saint bernard and two cats. However, she has snapped at dogs she is not familiar with so I believe she will need time to adjust to a new dog and cats she is okay with but will most likely need an adjustment period with them as well. She really is a great dog, we just cannot give her what she needs at the moment.

Story
My name is Jhar Jhar, Im and Australian Shepherd and Pocket Pitbull mix, I have become taller than my brothers and Sisters but I'm also more unique my eyes have a blu-ish Gray tint, I'm full of energy and walk with a unique stride. Show boatish, I'm very smart and dense at times I think my body isn't grown in my legs lol. I got my first round of shots when I was 4 weeks old.no one has ever chose me as there companion because of my size compared to the rest of the litter. My owner has went through a rough time losing his home to taxes, not only he but me and my brother and sis are also homeless. I promise if you pay attention to me, I will learn fast and protect my family with all my heart. Just someone to pay attention to me, is all I need to be happy.i have been with other dogs my whole life 7 months.my owner is running out of time as am I. I really need a new home. My bark is intimidating but I love to play and chase sticks, toys, for anything you throw. Pick Me Jhar!

Story
Huckleberry waborn on June 27, 2021 to our two heelers. He has grown up with us--around my 5 kids and our 2 other dogs. He is an EXCELLENT fetching dog. LOVES chasing a stick or ball. Also loves hiking. He is a typical red heeler with some anxiety and jumpiness, so physical activity a must. He is 57 lbs and a tall heeler,very fit. Neutered. UTD vaccines, inc. rabies. He does not like being around his dad Boone. We cannot rehome Boone due to his health issues. Huck has only ever been aggressive to Boone, and is fine around his humans, his mama Oakley and our male 5-year-old doodle. He has NEVER shown aggression toward any human inside or outside of our home. He has not been around cats. Huck is currently staying in the back yard, but weather is getting colder. It is a pretty desperate situation, because I do NOT want to place him in a shelter. Please message or call for more info on Huck. His adoption is time-sens. Experienced heeler owner only. No other dogs in home. Emily Valdivia
