Male · Labrador Retriever / Hound / Mixed · 17 mi from Patriot




Meet Ollie! This 9-year-old and 117 lb. Labrador Retriever mix. He is a gentle giant that had a rough past. Regardless he is a happy boy who loves people, dogs, cats, and lounging around. He is a very calm gentleman. He isn't a fan of the crate, however, he is house trained and he doesn't get into anything that doesn't belong to him. He absolutely LOVES his people. He is afraid of small children. His perfect forever home would be a calm, home a lot, no small children, a walk a day, and who will dote on him often, as he will return the favor. He deserves a family who will give him all the love and comfort he’s been waiting for.

8. Abbs
Adult · Female · Labrador Retriever / Terrier / Mixed · 17 mi from Patriot




I'm a sweet energetic gal. House broken, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. My parents took in some long term guests into the home, with the crowding and delicate nature of some of the new residents, I had to start spending a lot more time in the yard. I get bored sometimes and get into trouble in the yard. They said I am good in the house though, so they let me have run of the house while they are at work. I'm really hoping that I can find a new family to love me and let me be a central part of the family again. If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting this baby, please fill out an application.

14. Hendrix
Adult · Male · Terrier / Mixed · 17 mi from Patriot


Meet Hendrix!Hendrix is an adorable wirehaired terrier mix weighing around 35 pounds, and once he gets comfortable, this boy has the BEST personality!Hendrix can be a little nervous when he first enters a new environment, and new situations can be overwhelming for him. He does best when given a couple of days to decompress and settle in. Once he does, his goofy personality comes out, and he is absolutely hilarious! This boy LOVES rolling around on his back, showing off his belly, and getting belly rubs. He will happily roll around on the couch and has even managed to roll right off of it!Hendrix does well with other dogs and mostly just ignores them.
Read more about Hendrix
He does well in his crate and is making great progress with leash training while working on potty training. When it comes to food, Hendrix is a little bougie! He’s a picky eater and prefers his wet food mixed in with his dry food. He knows what he likes!Hendrix would do best in a quiet, low key home and if children older would be best where he can take his time getting comfortable. He isn’t looking for a crazy, busy lifestyle, he really just wants to be somebody’s little buddy. Once Hendrix feels safe and settled, you get to see the sweet, funny guy underneath that nervous exterior.Hendrix is currently fostered in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and is ready to find his forever family!If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting this baby, please fill out an application.

16. Billy Beau
Adult · Male · Dachshund / Mixed · 17 mi from Patriot



Meet Billy Beau! At just about a year old, Billy Beau is one handsome little guy with a gorgeous chocolate-colored coat and an adorable look all his own! He’s a smaller-sized dog with some surprisingly long legs, and we’re guessing he may have a little Dachshund mixed in there somewhere.Billy Beau is still getting settled into rescue life, but so far he’s making a great impression. He’s been around several dogs with different personalities and has done well with both the laid-back pups and the more playful ones. He’s also been around cats and has shown some curiosity, but we haven’t seen any concerning behavior.He’s currently enjoying the good life, catching a nap on the couch, and looking pretty darn comfortable doing it!We’re still getting to know this sweet boy, but so far Billy Beau is proving to be a pretty easygoing little addition.

How to adopt from Stray Haven Inc
Thank you so much for considering a rescued pet as your next family member! People like you extending your faith in second hand pets is what makes our rescue go round. We depend on adoptions to not only enrich the life of our rescue pet, but to save the life of the next one in line, that we can't take until our babies find their new forevers. We want you to know that your time is very valuable to us and we want our entire process to be done in good faith. We need you to be honest with us and we will be honest with you. Any deception found during the application process will be grounds for denial. Requirements: We understand how important your time is and how emotional adding a new pet to the family can be. We are an all volunteer rescue with no paid staff, so we are going to do our best to help you know from the get go if your home environment will be a harmonious fit for what we are looking for in our new adoptive parents.

Adopting a dog in Patriot
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
