Hanson
Meet Hanson! Hanson is a 4 month old, 14 pound, Mixed Breed Pup! Hanson is adorably energetic, always down to play and chase her foster brothers and sisters in the yard. Once she gets her energy out, she is totally content to snuggle up on the couch for a chill evening with her favorite people. Hanson has met several other dogs, cats and kids during her time in foster care and she has loved them all!
After settling into her foster home, Hanson’s foster family learned that she is great in a crate and is getting the hang of potty training. Her new family will definitely need to continue with potty training and leash training, but her foster family has seen her make great strides since coming into their home, so they are confident that she will pick up these skills quickly! She is eager to please and LOVES to be told what a good girl she is!
Heartbreak Prince
Heartbreak Prince is 9 months old and is a total love bug. This big boy is a very playful kitten and loves to spend his days playing, napping in his hammocks, and cuddling! He would love to be adopted into a home that has a playful feline companion for him to run, romp, and wrestle with and a best friend to snuggle with! Some of his favorite toys include balls that he can bat at, springs, and feather toys! When it is nap time, you will likely find him snoozing in a cat tree. Prince especially loves hammock style napping spots! He also likes sleeping on the couch or at the foot of the bed, but he might mistake your toes as something interesting to pounce on! Though playing is Prince’s favorite hobby, he is also becoming a very affectionate boy as he is getting older and will happily curl up with you on the couch at the end of the day. He really is the jack-of-all-trades and will be sure to steal your heart! If you think this big handsome boy is the one for you, apply today! Prince is fostered with cats and small dogs and has done great with everyone!
If you are looking for a playful and adorable kitten, look no further! Heartbreak Prince is being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area.
Cletus
Cletus is a 1-year-old Boxer mix weighing about 50lbs. Cletus likes to play in the backyard with his foster parents and take a swim in a pool when it’s hot outside. Cletus is always a happy guy. Cletus is a loving guy who like to give kisses and getting belly rubs all day long. Cletus likes to play with different types of toys or curl up on the couch under a blanket with his foster family. Cletus is crate trained and hasn’t had many accidents in his foster home.
Sloane
Meet Sloane! Sloan is a 5 1/2 year old, Irish Setter/Poodle (“Irishdoodle”)! Sloan is a puppy mill rescue, used for the majority of her life to produce babies. At 36 pounds, Sloane could definitely could use a few snacks, but she is working diligently to gain some healthy weight.
We can only imagine that Sloane has grown up with little to no socialization. As a result of this, she can be very shy and leary of new people. However, despite meeting several people, dogs and cats in her foster home, Sloane has never shown anything except for cautious curiosity. Once she realized that her foster family is was safe, she became their shadow, following them around the house and yard wherever they go.
Sloan is great in her crate and rarely has accidents. Although her foster family would not consider her 100% potty trained, she is well on her way.
Apollo
Say HELLO to Apollo! This big man is a 7-year-old, 96lb sweetheart. Although his life didn’t start out the best, he is determined to find his furever family. He is crate trained and house trained. He’s a minimal barker but will whine when he wants to go outside. Apollo, like Herman Munster is a love bug that doesn’t realize his own size or strength. He would do best in a home with older children and without small animals. Apollo knows how to sit but hasn’t quite gotten the hang of holding the command for long. He also struggles with keeping all four paws on the floor, but hopes you’ll overlook it as he’s so darn cute! He loves to be with people and hasn’t met a stranger. The big lug will try to sit in your lap! He would love a low key forever home.
Izzy
Meet Izzy, an almost 5-year-old Bichon Frise with a sweet soul and heart full of promise and a past that’s beginning to fade. Izzy was once a puppy mill mom and is now on a journey to discover life as a “dog.” She is learning what it means to be safe, given patience, and shown love. She’s nervous in new situations and with new people as she never knew things in the dog world such as treats, leashes, toys, and the outdoors. She enjoys being fostered with other furry friends and follows her foster mom, keeping an eye on what she does. Izzy does require a fenced-in yard and another social dog in the home to help her build confidence. She loves to play with other dogs, and actually does not mind the dog play to get loud. She’s looking for a patient, understanding person who can offer her the time and care she needs to flourish. If you’re ready to provide a warm and patient environment, giving Izzy a fresh start, Izzy is the girl for you.
Ajax
Warriors… Come out to play! Introducing Ajax of the Warriors Litter. Ajax is a 5-month-old, tabby, Domestic Shorthair who couldn’t be more excited to meet you!
Much like his namesake, Ajax is the biggest kitten of the litter. He protects his siblings, both biological and adopted, from any danger that may come their way (this may just be an ant, but his heart is in the right place). Ajax is the sweetest brother. He loves to share his toys and groom his siblings when he thinks they are dirty. He is the older brother of the pack for sure!
Ajax loves to play, but he also loves to cuddle. Ajax is quick to adjust, and on a normal afternoon, he can be found snuggling up to another cat, or even the dogs. He can be a tad timid around people at first, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up to humans. Ajax is a really easy-going kitten with the best of intentions! When he isn’t busy cuddling or protecting his siblings, he loves to play with teaser toys. He is a true hunter at heart and takes playtime VERY seriously.
Ajax is great around other cats, dogs, and people. He is also litter box trained. Ajax is a super respectful and intelligent cat. He learns boundaries easily, and never scratches inappropriately. Despite being the biggest kitten, he may be the biggest pushover. He loves to play fight with his siblings, but he normally lets them win.
If you are looking for the ultimate good boy, then apply for Ajax today!
Trunks
Say hello to Trunks! Trunks is a 2 year old, super sweet, Domestic Shorthair cat! Trunks was found as a stray and when no one came to claim her, her sweet personality got her right into rescue!
Trunks is a petite thing, weighing in at about 6 pounds. Her coat is a beautiful mix of grey tabby with some bengal – looking markings.
Trunks is fostered with other cats, dogs and is handled regularly by children. Trunks loves to snuggle, but is also excited to chase a string toy or ruffle up some play feathers. She is litter box trained and has shown no signs of inappropriate scratching in her foster home.
Trunks loves to love and she wants nothing more than a family of her own to give all of her love to!
Emilia
Meet Emilia, a sweet and loving seven-year-old, 15lb Shih Tzu who has been rescued from a life of breeding in a puppy mill. The hardships she endured are evident on her precious face, but Emilia’s spirit remains unbroken. She is ready to leave her past behind and spend her best days in a home filled with love and care.
Emilia will need some help with leash walking and potty training, but she gets along great with dogs of all sizes. This resilient girl is ready to receive all the love she deserves and give plenty of affection in return. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion, Emilia is waiting to meet you!
Oscar & Felix (bonded pair)
Oscar and Felix are the kitty “odd couple” and are bonded! Their love languages are belly rubs and yummy food. Oscar’s favorite activity is lounging around and watching all the action. Felix observes at first, but once he knows your lap is a safe space, he is there for all of the cuddles. Who needs a weighted blanket when you have these sweet cat brothers to snuggle!
Oscar is 4 years old. Weighing in at 18 pounds (Oscar) and 16 pounds (Felix), the boys are fairly low in activity. They enjoy climbing their cat tree for a nap or batting around their catnip toys. All the treats are welcome in moderation! Oscar and Felix are litter box trained. They have not been around other cats or dogs, but they certainly love each other and their foster family!
If you are looking for gentle, loving (and chunky) cats to complete your family, these boys are waiting to be a part of your family!
Rylee
Meet Rylee, a gentle 7-year-old, 16lb Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle mix) with a heart as soft as her curls!
After spending her life in a puppy mill having several litters, Rylee is understandably a bit shy but truly sweet-natured. She’s learning to enjoy the simple pleasures of a loving home, and she never says no to gentle affection. Rylee has been fostered with other small dogs without any issues, showing her calm and adaptable spirit.
Rylee’s ideal home is a patient one who can help her come out of her shell and work on things like housetraining, crate training, and leash training. She’d make a wonderful, quiet companion for someone patient and ready to help her blossom into the confident, happy dog she’s meant to be.
Dobbie
Dobbie is a 3.5-year-old, 10lb Chihuahua mix who is ready to find his forever home. Rescued from a small hoarding situation and surrendered to a rural high-intake shelter, Dobbie has come a long way thanks to the care of his foster family.
This sweet boy thrives in a cozy environment where he can cuddle up right next to you or burrow under the covers. Dobbie is being fostered with dogs of all sizes and has previously lived with a cat, making him a great fit for a variety of homes.
Dobbie is doing well with potty training, is crate trained, and has shown he’s eager to please. While he may be a little shy at first, once he warms up, he will become your loyal, loving Velcro dog.
If you’re looking for a gentle and affectionate companion, Dobbie might be the perfect match!
