****1/2 of Milo’s adoption fee has been sponsored by Reigning Cats & Dogs Pet Grooming****
Say hello to this handsome senior guy, Milo! This sweet old man came to us as a stray, so unfortunately, we don't know much about his past. We believe Milo is a neutered male French Bulldog mix who is at least 10 years old. Due to him having very few teeth remaining, it's difficult to determine his exact age. Don't let his lack of teeth fool you—Milo still loves his treats! He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for him to warm up and show his sweet personality. Milo enjoys spending time outdoors, soaking up the sunshine, and getting plenty of pets and attention. He came to us already microchipped, but unfortunately, despite our efforts to contact his family, we never received a response. Milo is a gentle, laid-back companion looking for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by comfort, care, and love. He did great for his nail trim and exam where he weighs in at 27.5 lbs and was given Bordatella, parvo/lepto/distemper vaccines, dewormed and is heartworm negative. Our adoptions are $100 cash/ local check. Visiting hours are Monday–Friday 8:00am–11:45am and 1:00pm–4:00pm. We are located at 5066 County Home Rd., Greenville, OH 45331. You can reach us at 937-547-1645.

Howdy, Cowboy! Cowboy came to the shelter as a stray, so his history is largely unknown. Based on what staff have observed, he appears to be a 1½-year-old intact male Shepherd mix with a sweet and affectionate personality. This handsome boy loves getting attention and enjoys spending time outdoors, where he can explore the world around him. Cowboys seem comfortable around the other dogs at the shelter and is currently learning how to walk on a leash. With his loving nature and young age, he has great potential to become a wonderful companion for the right family. He did great for his exam where he weighs in at 85 lbs. and was given Bordatella, parvo/lepto/distemper vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and is heartworm negative. Our adoptions are $100 cash/check. Visiting hours are Monday–Friday 8:00am–11:45am and 1:00pm–4:00pm. We are located at 5066 County Home Rd., Greenville, OH 45331. You can reach us at 937-547-1645
