MAYA
(posted 8/30/2024)
Female - 2 years - German Shepherd Mix
Adoption Fee: $175
Maya came to us from an abusive home where she was left tied up outside to fend for herself. A kind Samaritan approached the home to inquire about Maya, and the owners told her to just take her. The Samaritan (who's name was Maya!) was unable to take her herself, but was able to get the dog to us.
Maya was a little unsure at first but warmed up very quickly! She loves cuddles (belly rubs are her favorite) and is always down for a good snuggle sesh. Maya does not seem to fond of other dogs and is over interested in cats, we would recommended she be the only animal in the home. Maya has a lot of energy and enjoys running in the yard chasing tennis balls until she's wore out! Maya is patiently waiting to find her forever home!

ALICE-ADOPTED 9-6!!
(posted 5/10/2024)
Female - 1 year - 35 lb medium mixed breed
Adoption Fee: $175
Alice was a transfer from Lucas County Canine Care and Control. She had been surrendered there because she is completely deaf, and was proving too difficult for her current owners to train. We said "Challenge Accepted". We named Alice after Alice Cogswell. Alice Cogswell made history at the age of 9 by sparking the beginning of the creation of American Sign Language and American deaf education. Prior to Alice coming here we had no experience working with deaf dogs. Now we have been working with trainers over at the Zoom Room to train our staff on how to communicate with Alice, and boy has it been fun! Turns out Alice isn't a challenge, but an opportunity to learn how to work with other deaf dogs like her!
Alice is a high energy gal, and loves playing with toys, people, and other dogs alike! (She particularly likes playing with Nathan!) She loves her weekly training sessions at the Zoom Room and has already begun making progress. When Alice is excited she likes to pick things up and just carry them around with her. Its usually toys, but today she was parading around her water bowl for everyone. She was real proud of it. Alice loves everyone, and if someone is sitting down you can guarantee she is most likely in their lap. Don't be put off by her deaf label, give Alice a chance she might just surprise you!

JIMMY JOHNS- ADOPTED 9-1!!
(posted 6/6/2024)
Male - 3.5 years - 60 lb Hunky Mixed Breed
Adoption Fee: $175
Jimmy Johns has had a rough go of it since arriving at the Rescue. Well first, he was tossed over our back fence with 7 other dogs. . . not cool. We could tell immediately that there was something wrong with both of his eyes. Upon examination from our Veterinarian it was determined that Jimmy had a severe Entropion in both eyes. Entropion (en-TROH-pee-on) is a condition in which your eyelid turns inward so that your eyelashes and skin rub against the eye surface. This causes irritation and discomfort. Ouchies. Then his luck got even better when he tested positive for Heartworm. Yuck!
So after a surgery to fix his eyes, a neuter procedure, and 6 long months of heartworm treatment he is finally ready for adoption! Staff report Jimmy is a good listener and a quick learner! He is making good progress in his training and knows sit, down, touch, and stay! Nothing makes him happier than rolling around in grass on a beautiful sunny day. Him is a cuddle bug and would love nothing more to than to take a midday nap with you on the couch. Jimmy is dog selective, so it is important to schedule a dog-to-dog visit before bringing him home to any potential doggy siblings. Despite his love of naps he does have quite a bit of energy and loves chewing on toys, tennis balls, and walks. Jimmy is a staff favorite, and we're sure he'll win your heart over just like he has ours!
