Looking for a dog with the spirit of a rabbit, the fluff of a poodle, and a heart that blossoms with patience and love? Meet Bunny, a 3 year old, 10 pound Miniature Poodle who's as unique as his name. Bunny is a gentle, sensitive soul who's still learning to trust the world. He's cautious around new people and places, and prefers to come around on his own terms but once he does, he'll melt your heart with little nose boops and quiet requests for head scratches. He's currently in foster care and doing well, but he needs a specific kind of home to truly thrive: calm, low-key, and not crowded with dogs or people. Bunny bonds more deeply when he's not lost in a pack. A home with just a couple of other mellow pups (or even as a solo dog) and a patient person willing to go at his pace would be ideal. He loves other dogs, and watching him play is pure joy. But don't be fooled, he's also a clever little escape artist who checks fences for holes and can dart past your legs like lightning. Secure fencing and doors, and a watchful eye, are a must! While he may seem timid at first, Bunny has made huge strides in foster care, now accepting being picked up and seeking affection more and more. If you're the kind of person who finds joy in the quiet victories (the first tail wag, the first snuggle, the first time he chooses you), Bunny might just be your perfect match. Ready to welcome a Bunny disguised as a Poodle into your life? Adoption fee is $375.00 and includes spay/neuter, microchip, fecal/deworming, vaccines and prevention up to date. Ohio residents only.

He is a 5-month-old Australian Cattle Dog/Lab mix. He may have applications in progress, but is currently available. He, his momma and 5 siblings came to Stop the Suffering after being abandoned on a country back road. Things Howie likes: Other dogs; Naps; Chickens; Picnic Tables; Wishes; Dandilions. Ok, you might not need to share a lot of these things, really all Howie wants is a loving home - and maybe a few kids to call his own. He really loves kids and is friendly with everyone. He would likely fit well into an active family environment, bringing joy and laughter to the home. With his energetic personality and love for play, Howard would thrive in an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and attention.

Luke is a 10 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. He's such a sweetie who wants to start every morning with mommy hugs and love! He may have applications in progress, but is currently available. Luke needs an owner who wants to be a part of a true doggy transformation. He will look at you with his thankful, loving eyes every time you give him love and attention. Because he was an outdoor dog, he was unsure about this idea of being an indoor pet at first. He was skittish with new noises and people, but has learned that visitors come and go and he is warming up to strangers now. He's working on his manners and energy - and has made a lot of progress in his foster home. He does not have a mean or aggressive bone in his body and gets along well with two resident chihuahua/terrier mixes and kids. He sleeps quietly on the couch in his foster home at night. Luke is making progress with house training, but will have an occasional accident. This seems to be linked to if he gets scared or nervous. He does well with wearing a belly band if needed. He loves getting more pets and scratches and learning about being a part of a family. He listens and responds to when his name is called. Although he loves pets and scratches, he doesn't usually sit long on laps or the couch. He will make a good family pet as he gets along with kids and other dogs. Adoption fee is $250 and includes spay/neuter, microchip, fecal/deworming, vaccines and prevention up to date. Ohio residents only. STS is a foster-based and volunteer-run rescue.

My name is Mars and I’m looking for my forever home. I was born in October, so I’m still a puppy. I weigh 21 lbs and a bundle of energy! Yeah, I'm cute, aren't I? I’m a Shiba mix and I live in my foster home in Columbus, OH. My mother was a Shiba who was found as a stray with a belly full of puppies! SIRA did a DNA test and learned that our dad was a Beagle mix. I’m great with other dogs, especially if they love to run and jump and play like I do. I’ve never met a cat, but I bet I’d be curious and would want to play. I’ve met human kids – little and big - and I love playing with them too! My favorite things to do (besides playing) are getting held, belly rubs, or when I can snuggle up next to foster dad for a nap. Foster dad says I’m really smart! I’m learning how to walk on a leash. I’m not a huge fan of wearing a harness and I’m in that awkward puppy phase, so I’m kind of uncoordinated and distracted by every interesting smell or movement or noise. When foster dad leaves the house, he puts me in my kennel or in a puppy-proof room just so I don’t get into things I’m not supposed to. I’m treat-motivated and will sit and go into my kennel for a treat at bedtime. I’m good in my kennel as long as there is another dog nearby. If I’m by myself, I may sing the song of my people before settling down. So if your home shares walls with neighbors, I may not be the best fit. I’m working on potty training. I can be inconsistent, so I do best when I’m on a very regular schedule. I’m a healthy boy – neutered and vaccinated. I’m not at all skittish. I LOVE food and will over-indulge if given the chance. I am very curious about new things and can solve a new treat puzzle in no time! So far, I like sticking close to my foster dad and the other dogs here – I haven’t shown the typical Shiba urge to escape on an adventure. If you live in the Midwest and want a happy-go-lucky love-bug like me to be your bff, visit //www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster dad so we can meet! Hooray!

Hi, my name is Gouda! Most people would describe me as goofy, adorable, and lovable, but I would call myself your new best friend. I’m a mixed breed but mostly Rottweiler. Humans who know and love the breed will certainly love me all the more and understand my needs better. My foster mom calls me the Goud-est Girl. My favorite activities are hiking, cuddling (must lay on top of you of course), playing fetch, working on training, and car rides. I haven’t tried a snack I didn’t like. I have a few very close friends and I will love my family intensely forever and ever! If I trust you, I will show you just how silly I can be! My early life was difficult, but I have come so far and will be your most faithful and loving companion if you continue to show me the way. I was bottle fed at For the Love of Jane and adopted when I was a puppy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t trained or socialized properly and was return at 6 months old. FTLOJ has given me a safe, stable environment to learn all of the things I should have when I was younger. My foster mom has worked hard to train and socialize me. I have graduated from two training classes and go with her everywhere! I know a long list of commands and tricks. I walk on the leash well and am potty trained of course. I am excellent in the crate for bedtime, when my fosters aren’t home, and when I eat my meals. I get along well with other dogs and cats in my foster home. I thoroughly enjoy playing with my foster’s other dogs! I prefer to have enough toys so that I can have some all to myself. I haven’t had the chance to meet many human kids, so I would prefer to only live with older children in my new home. I am still working through some of my insecurities and short comings, like meeting new people, building relationships, sharing my belongings, and taking baths. My adopter should be committed to continuing my training and socialization. I know my new forever family will understand that with some time, love, and patience, I can be the dog of their dreams! I can’t wait to show you just how much love I have to give! Gouda’s birthdate is 8/1/2024. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, fecal tested negative, heartworm tested negative, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Apply to adopt at www.fortheloveofjanerescue.com/adoptions
