15. Stallone
Adult (2 years) · Male · Cane Corso Mastiff / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Hamilton









Meet Stallone – The Italian Stallion (With Absolutely No Coordination)!
When we heard about an emaciated Cane Corso found locked in a crate full of urine and poop on the side of the road, we couldn’t say no. Despite our foster homes being packed for months, Stallone needed us. He had the most soulful eyes and beautiful face, so naturally, we named him after the Italian Stallion!
Well, we got the graceful part wrong! Stallone is gorgeous, and petting him is like petting a soft baby bunny, but watching him walk (or heaven forbid, run) is like watching a baby deer on ice. He’s all awkward hops, crashes, and questionable braking skills!
Read more about Stallone
But what he lacks in coordination, he more than makes up for in personality! Stallone is a sweet, puppy-like lovebug who LOVES other dogs, enjoys toys, and will do just about anything for a treat. He’s also wonderful with cats and kids and would make an especially great addition to a family with little ones.
Stallone has been through enough. He’s ready to trade his rough beginning for a lifetime of love, laughter, and a family to call his own.
Apply to adopt our handsome, hilariously uncoordinated Italian Stallion today! ❤️

16. Penny Sue
Adult (2 years) · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Hamilton






Hi my name is Penny Sue. I was rescued off of a euthanasia list from a shelter in Memphis, TN. So please consider me a Southern belle ❤️
I’ve been at my foster parents’ home for less than a week, but I’m settling in quite nicely. I have two puppy foster siblings, a resident dog sibling and a resident cat sibling. All have been very nice accepting me into the family. I love being part of a family. They say I’m here until I find my own family, which fine because I really do want my own family!!
I like car rides, walks, playing outside, treats, pets/hugs, belly rubs, and laying on the couch with my foster parents and sibs.
Read more about Penny Sue
I am a great warm, weighted blanket!I I am house-trained and crate trained. I only bark when I’m excited (which doesn’t happen often, I’m pretty chill) or alerting my foster parents that something’s going on that shouldn’t be. Otherwise I’m as quiet as a mouse. My foster mom says my whine is so cute and dainty, I sound like a puppy even though I’m two years old.
Won’t you please consider a meet and greet with me? I’d love to meet you and see if I can become a part of your family!
Love,
Penny Sue

Hi I’m Ellie Joy.
I love to cuddle. That is the best thing that I do! I’m only 3 months old so I really don’t do a lot yet, other than eat, play and sleep which is great right now.

Senior (13 years) · Male · Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat) · 19 mi from Hamilton










Meet Grim! Grim is a 13 year old, 57lb (and gaining) Great Pyrenees. He is leash trained, house trained, and crate trained, but doesn’t need to be crated. He gets along with other dogs and ignores cats and chickens.
Unlike a typical pyr, Grim wants to be inside and will let you know when he’s done being outside. He adores attention and happily thumps his tail and rolls over so you can scratch his belly. Grim doesn’t want much, just a home with a cool floor to lay on and all the love, treats and pets you can give.

Puppy (3 months 14 days) · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Hamilton






Meet Wasabi ️
Read more about Wasabi
Wasabi may be tiny, but apparently no one has bothered to tell her that. This 10-week-old pittie mix is an incredibly sweet little girl with a big personality and absolutely no shortage of confidence. Wasabi LOVES meeting new dogs and is always ready to make a new friend. Her current foster siblings are roughly 50 times her size, which matters to Wasabi approximately zero percent. She happily chases after the big dogs, determined to keep up with whatever they’re doing. But underneath all that tiny-puppy confidence is the sweetest little snuggle bug. When Wasabi settles in for some love, she doesn’t just cuddle—she gives hugs. She wraps herself around you, snuggles in close, and somehow makes it very difficult to ever put her back down. Wasabi is still just a baby, so her forever family should be ready for all the normal puppy stuff—training, learning, playing, growing, and probably a little mischief along the way. In return, they’ll get a sweet, social, hilarious little sidekick who already has enough personality for a dog ten times her size. If you’ve been looking for a puppy who can wrestle with the big dogs one minute and give you the best hugs of your life the next, Wasabi is ready to spice up your life. ️ Apply to adopt Wasabi!

Bringing a dog home to your cat
Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.
Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
