Have you ever wanted a dog that's smarter than most of your friends? Meet Reuben!

This handsome boy comes with an impressive résumé. Reuben knows sit, lay down, roll over, speak, wait, and "get it!" He's always ready to show off his skills, especially if treats are involved (and trust us, treats are his love language).

When it comes to toys, Reuben is SERIOUS about his hobbies. Balls? Amazing. Hard toys? Fantastic. Fetch? Sign him up immediately! Sometimes he gets a little too excited and forgets his manners, but a quick reminder to "wait" helps him remember that gentlemen don't sn**ch toys from their humans.

Reuben previously lived in a home and would love nothing more than to get back to having a couch, a toy box, and a favorite person to follow around. He may burst out of his kennel with a little extra enthusiasm, but once he's had a chance to get his wiggles out, he's happy to hang out and enjoy your company.

Reuben is currently receiving treatment for some possible hip or back issues and is doing well. Because of that, he's looking for a home where he can enjoy life at a slightly more relaxed pace. The good news? Reuben is perfectly content entertaining himself with toys, showing off his tricks, and soaking up attention from his people.

At the end of the day, Reuben is a sweet, goofy, incredibly smart dog who is just waiting for someone to choose him. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with brains, personality, and lots of love to give, Reuben is ready to ace the role.

❤️ Come meet Reuben and prepare to be impressed!

Name: Bruno
Age: 7 Years
Gender: Neutered Male
Breed: Pit Mix
Weight: 52Ibs

Bruno is an active, adventurous boy who is ready to find a family to help him reach his full potential. His favorite thing to do is explore the play yard, taking in all the sights and smells while happily investigating everything around him.

While tennis balls don't seem to be his thing, treats definitely are! Bruno is very food-motivated and will sit with a little guidance and patience. He's eager to learn and would benefit greatly from a family willing to teach him structure, routine, and all the basics that come with life in a home. It appears Bruno hasn't had much consistency in his past, but he's ready to start a new chapter.

Bruno recently participated in playgroup evaluations while wearing a muzzle. He offered a few playful bows and showed interest in interacting with other dogs. He did have a disagreement with another muzzled male dog, but considering he has had very limited experience around other dogs, this is just the beginning of his socialization journey. We look forward to continuing to learn more about him.

Bruno is looking for a patient, active home that will help build his confidence, teach him new skills, and give him the stability he deserves. If you're ready to invest in a loyal companion and watch him grow, Bruno may be your perfect match!

🐾 Tater Tot is still searching for his forever home! 🐾

This sweet boy is as lovable as they come. Tater loves to snuggle, enjoys treats and mealtime, and is always happy to spend time with his people. He walks great on a leash, is potty trained, and listens very well.

Tater does best with calm, respectful dogs who understand personal space and aren’t overly invasive. He’s a smart, well-mannered boy who is ready to settle into a loving home of his own.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will happily curl up beside you and be your best friend, Tater Tot might be the perfect match. ❤️

Please share to help Tater find the forever family he deserves!

Name: Priss
Age: 10 years
Gender: Female
Breed: Lab Mix
Weight: 63Ibs

If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion to share quiet days and cozy evenings with, Priss may be the perfect match.

This sweet senior girl is ready to trade shelter life for a comfortable retirement home where she can relax, be loved, and enjoy all the simple pleasures life has to offer. Priss is as sweet as they come and would be happiest with a family who will spoil her with soft beds, gentle pets, and plenty of affection.

Priss previously lived in a home with other dogs, so we believe she could do well with another calm, respectful canine companion. At this time, she is unable to participate in playgroups as she continues to recover from her recent spay, mammary mass removal surgery, and dental procedure. Priss is recovering well and we are very thankful to those who donated towards her to receive the care she so desperately deserved.

After everything she's been through, Priss deserves a family willing to give her the comfort, care, and love she's earned. If you have room in your heart and home for a wonderful senior girl, come meet Priss today.

***LOOKING FOR OWNER***

Our sweet Scrappy girl went to the V-E-T this morning for her big girl surgery (spay), and while under anesthesia the vet also discovered a mammary mass. We of course asked them to remove that nasty thing to keep the girlie feeling her best for as long as possible, and they will be sending it out for testing of course. In the meantime, we could use your help in paying for this unexpected, but very necessary!, expense. If you find it in your heart to help Scrappy, you can donate at the Shelter, through the mail, or online here: https://client.pointandpay.net/web/WayneCoDogShelterOH/

Oh, and Scrappy is still looking for her furever home. She's cute, sweet, and silly - what more are you waiting for? Come meet her after she gets back later today from the dogtor!

Do you love German Shepherds and are looking for your next energetic best friend? We currently have THREE German Shepherd mixes looking for homes of their own — Scout (9), Kalleigh (6), and Belle (6)! 🖤🐾

These shepherds are full of personality — energetic, goofy, and always ready to keep life interesting. While they may be a little “crazy” at times, they are all very nice with people and would love a family to call their own.

Each of these dogs is looking to be the ONLY dog in the home so they can soak up all the attention for themselves. If you’ve got shepherd experience, an active lifestyle, and room in your heart for a loyal companion, one of these pups may be the perfect fit.

Come meet Scout, Kalleigh, or Belle and see if your new best friend is waiting for you!
