Life can be difficult, and very unfair, for domestic animals😔. The shelter offers no life for orphaned dogs and cats. Pets residing in a shelter are there through no fault of their own. After all, at some point, all dogs and cats once resided in the home of an owner. Pet ownership is a serious commitment. Dogs and cats are feeling beings with emotions and intellect. Handled casually, selfless pets become a casualty. Let’s change their fate … ADOPT, DON’T SHOP!

All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. Rabies vaccine and license included. Adoption fee: $28

Meet Devin — an 85lb German Shepherd with a heart as big as his paws 🖤 At around 4–5 years old, Devin has outgrown the chaos of puppyhood but still has all the classic shepherd traits you love: loyal, intelligent, and eager to be part of a team. He’s pretty laid-back for a GSD, but don’t be fooled — he still enjoys his daily patrols, sniffing missions, and staying close to his people.

If you’re looking for a companion with that signature German Shepherd spirit, Devin might just be your perfect match. 🐾

Please call 330-643-2845 or private message us with any questions about Devin!

Meet Jasper …

If you know this breed, you know they are often confused with the Pitbull breed. Jasper is, in fact, of the Mastiff breed. These are big, lovable, and fiercely loyal dogs with their families. But, they take great patience when transitioning to a new family, and an unfamiliar dwelling. And, they definitely do not do well in a shelter setting.

Ideally, we want this boy to go back home. But, if his family cannot find him, we don’t want him to languish in the shelter. A forced, extended time in a shelter may not end well for Jasper. If adopted, we are looking for an experienced Cane Corso handler. They are out there and they understand this breed very well.

Jasper is thought to be three years of age and has a lot of living to do. He presents with what is called “cherry eye” which is brought on by stress. This condition is very, very fixable. Pay It Forward For Pets is willing to fund the correction of his eye for the present owner, should they come forward, or a new adopter. It’s a quick, simple surgery.

If you are an experience handler and want to provide Jasper withthe love, patience, and kindness he deserves, don’t delay … set up a meet and greet, today.
