• “I would love to find more friends who enjoy rough play, with humans willing to supervise and keep things positive. My mom says I can be a little pushy, but she does a good job supervising me and helping me take breaks.“

  — Alison Julia E.

• “I love all dogs especially the bigger ones. Not sure what to do with small dogs yet. I am a three years old Great Pyrenees rescue so I am a bigger girl but not too big. I had playmates but they each got siblings and no longer need to play. Please come and play with me today!!“

  — Brenda S.

• “A rescued Korean Jindo mix who is full of energy, but very gentle and great around other dogs.“

  — Ellie M.

• “I am a 4.5 year old retired racing greyhound! My racing name was T’s Tagteam and I did a training program in Michigan after retiring in July 2022. I was adopted in January 2023 and have loved being the baby between my parents! Greyhounds are called 40mph couch potatoes and I am no different, preferring to sleep for 18 hours a day and getting nice walkies the rest of the time. I love playing with furry squeaky toys too! I passed Canine Good Citizen in May 2023 so I am a certified good girl 😎“

  — Nicole K.

• “Hi! My names Jenny and I’m a quirky 2 year old blue heeler/GSD mix! I live with my birth mom, human mom and of course my “auntie”. I’m not a fan of new people or new dogs but with time I tend to pick and choose who I like!“

  — Taylor L.

• “I'm 7 years old and weigh about 30lb. I was rescued from a shelter when I was 3 months old. I have some hunting dog genes and I love to run. I will chase a ball or toy sometimes but I prefer to spend my time at new places just sniffing around.“

  — Lesley W.

• “a little nervous and shy. loves to roll in mud. North Shore Animal League alum.“

  — lei y.

• “I love people and I really do love dogs but I’m socially awkward and do not know how to properly greet other dogs and so it often makes first introductions a little difficult. I am the sweetest dog ever!“

  — Michelle S.

• “I’m a quiet girl who gets annoyed with my brothers. I like being with my human anywhere she is.“

  — Jessica M.

• “Hi, I'm Jenny! When I was rescued at the shelter, I was very afraid of people. Now, I love them so much! I love other dogs too but I can get too excited when I first meet them. I love to give kisses. One of my favorite things is to lay down next to my dad while he's on the couch.“

  — Rich S.

• “She is the world to me. Jenny had a rough life. She spent four years bouncing around shelter to shelter. They named her Penny for penny for your thoughts during those four years. My aunt would foster her or take her out, but she could not adopt because she had two of her own when we found out about Jenny. We took her right away and she’s been my princess ever since she’s a cancer survivor. That has unfortunately come back. It looks like the first time we had five tumors removed. She did not do well in recovery or the medicine. She acts like a seven year-old still, but her body is failing her so I just want to spoil her for the rest of her days and I hope that’s a long time“

  — Jon D.

• “I think I was born in Kentucky but somehow in my early two years, I ended up at a shelter then a rescue. I can't tell people how this happened but I'm glad to now be an Ohio dog with my hoomans, Lisa & Tom. I show them more of my personality every day. I walk on a loose leash great, still working on my approaching other dogs on lease skills, play well with others, and will finish my first round of training in a couple weeks. I can do some damage on our backyard and create quite the mess with these big paws that are hard to clean off. My owners would love a place where I can burn off energy for an hour.“

  — Lisa D.

• “Jenny, Jenny, Jenny If she were anymore laid back, she’d be dead. She belonged to a neighbor and had an old break that became infected. We adopted her and are preparing her to go to retirement homes and other places of need where therapy dogs are welcomed. Our goal is to get her approved as a therapy dog.“

  — Kelley & Becky K.
