​Meet Marko—aka Juggernaut!

Estimated date of birth: June 16, 2026

Marko was found wandering the streets by a group of children with a very large hernia. Thankfully, a rescue stepped in, had his hernia repaired and had him neutered. He is healing well and is now ready to find his forever home!

Marko is an active, vocal and delightfully sassy puppy. He will need a patient, committed family that understands puppy behavior and is willing to continue his training as he grows.

He has already shown interest in going potty outside and will go while on a leash, so he is getting a great start on both house-training and basic leash skills. Like any young puppy, he will need consistency, supervision, appropriate outlets for his energy and plenty of positive reinforcement.

If you’re looking for a spirited little superhero and are ready to put in the time that puppyhood requires, Marko may be the perfect addition to your family!

Adopting a puppy in Toledo

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
