Story
Meet Jenna. This is the face of a dog whose family returned her. She cried watching them leave & has been pacing in front of the door & staring out the window ever since. Her heart is broken and we are crying with her.  Jenna has had a hard life. She was dumped in a dog park very pregnant in the winter & nearly froze to death. She was found by accident.    She got adopted & was happy, loved & spoiled rotten for almost a year and a half. Unfortunately her dad is deploying.    We found a foster to keep her while he is gone but his situation has changed & he has let us know that he won’t be able to take her back when he comes Home. Jenna is about 4 years old. She loves kids but she needs to be an only dog or be with submissive male dogs. Jenna doesn’t understand why she’s here. Her heart is broken. She’s sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. Staring down the driveway after dad. Please help us find Jenna a forever home! Jenna's adoption fee is $175.  She is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention. 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.

Story
Hi! My name is Bradley Cooper. And like my namesake, I am one handsome devil. I charm all the ladies by crawling up in their laps and giving them kisses and demanding belly rubs. I am completely crate trained and will walk right in if you toss a treat in for me. I love other dogs, and always want to play with them. At night, I snuggle with my pittie best friend. I get a little nervous when new people come over, so my foster mom puts me in a crate until the noise calms down. Otherwise, I get anxious, and nip at people’s ankles. That’s why my foster mom lets the guests get settled before I start my sniffs. Because of this, we think it would be best if I lived in a low traffic home with no little kids. If that’s you, we could be best friends forever and you can give me infinite belly rubs and I will return the favor with plenty of kisses. Bradley Cooper is up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention. Bradley Cooper’s adoption fee is $175.  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.

Hey there, my name is Max!  I am a gorgeous 39 ish lb pocket pittie.  I am about 4 years old and I am just old enough to drive..... if you are driving I will be right there in your lap..... 39 lbs or not.  I got lost and ended up in the shelter.  I was really scared there.  So scared that I wouldn't eat and started dropping weight.  The shelter staff was super worried about me and they begged the rescue to take me in.  I am so much happier in my foster home.  I love snuggles and attention.  I am great with other dogs and even good with cats.  I love people and would make an excellent couch buddy for binge watching netflix.  So?? Am I the perfect guy for you?? I think so!  Apply to adopt me today!!  Max’s adoption fee is $175.
