Adopt: Rocky
Rocky | 5 years old | Grove City, OH
He is a gentle, affectionate 115-pound boy who loves belly rubs, sitting on your feet, and greeting every new person at the door. He’s great with kids and dogs, house-trained, and healthier and happier than ever in foster care. He does have hip dysplasia and ongoing ear care needs, so he’s looking for a committed adopter ready to keep him comfortable for the long haul. 🐾

She is a gentle, timid mill mama who warms up slowly and loves deeply — nudging her way in for pets, giving the sweetest looks when you stop, and blossoming more with every passing day.

Adopt: June
June 5 y/o in WV
She is a brave, quiet mill mama who is slowly finding her courage while facing a significant medical journey — a cancerous tumor on her front leg that will very likely require amputation. She needs an experienced, patient home with no stairs, at least one confident dog companion, and a family willing to commit to her recovery and her healing heart. For the right person, this resilient girl has so much love still to give. 🐾
Adopt: John Wayne
John Wayne 5 y/o in VA
JW, Jay Dubbs — is a sweet, talkative, cheese-obsessed boy who came from neglect and chose to become the happiest, goofiest shadow in the room. He warms up slowly but loves deeply, and every day he shows a little more of the silly, loyal boy he was always meant to be. If you have patience, a quiet home, and a fully stocked cheese drawer, JDubs is ready to be your guy. 🐾
Adopt: Ayita
Ayita 5 y/o in WV
She is a shut-down girl who ventures out to explore when she thinks no one is watching — and that quiet curiosity is everything. She needs an extraordinarily patient home with a confident dog companion, a calm environment, and someone willing to let her come to them entirely on her own terms. For the right person, the day she finally does will make every moment of patience completely worth it. 🐾
Adopt: Jewel

Adopted: Opry

She needs a calm home with another confident dog to help her keep learning, and a patient family willing to celebrate every small step forward. For the right home, this cuddly, grateful girl is going to be absolutely worth it. 🐾
Adopted: Jasper & Kona
Jasper & Kona 7 y/o in CO
They are biological brothers who share one brain, walk through every doorway side by side, and have spent their entire lives as each other's best friend. They're gentle, easygoing, and looking for a home that will love them both — because these two come as a package deal, and honestly, that's the best deal around. 🐾
Adopted: Cheyenne
Cheyenne 5 y/o in OH
She is a hilarious, lovable, slightly chaotic five-year-old who hasn't met a baby gate she couldn't defeat or a counter she couldn't surf — but she's also an expert-level cuddler who is wonderful with dogs and cats and impossibly cute about the whole thing. She's looking for a patient, good-humored home that will appreciate her mischief as much as her love. Fair warning: you will not regret it. 🐾
