6. McRib

Young (1 year) · Male · Unknown breed (short coat) · 13 mi from Cincinnati

This boy stole everyone’s hearts yesterday! He showed off his tricks at Tractor Supply, was a pro for his bath, played in the yard, and then took a nice long nap.

He headed to the vet and was the perfect gentleman! He got his vaccines and medication for an ear infection, but otherwise received a clean bill of health. He was already neutered, too!

McRib is now safe with his lifesaving foster, Amy, where he’s enjoying the backyard and playing Frisbee. He LOVES people and just wants to be wherever you are!

Read more about McRib

He’s only about a year old, and somewhere along the way, someone took the time to love him, train him, and neuter him. Yet somehow, he ended up a stray and on the euthanasia list.

Please remember, euthanasia doesn't always mean a dog has behavioral or medical issues. They was simply out of space.

He isn't damaged goods. He's a happy, loving pup who deserves a family of his own.

Adopting a large dog in Cincinnati

Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.

Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
