Happy Success Stories

Farrah has been renamed Daisy by her new family. She has made herself right at home after spending long months at the shelter. Now she enjoys playtime in the large backyard where she has discovered the kids playset. She loves to go sliding down the slide as you can see from her picture.

Rose is a sweet little lady. She would sit in the corner of her kennel with a very sad look in her eyes. It took awhile but finally a family saw into those eyes and decided she was perfect for their household. She is now the head of the household and matriarch of the neighborhood dogs according to her new family. She has definitely found her forever home.

Brando is now one very happy fellow. He had spent months in a kennel before finding a wonderful foster home. The time spent in the foster home gave him the opportunity to rediscover family life. Just recently a family was looking for a new pet and the daughter saw Brando's happy picture. She fell in love with his tongue licking face. The family contacted us and Brando finally found his forever home.

Cole holds the record for the fastest contact after being posted on Petfinder. In less than an hour after having his picture and bio posted, a prospective adopter was contacting us. She drove all the way from Columbus, Ohio to meet Cole and immediately fell in love with him. What a sight they made as they drove away; he was in the back, leaning his head on her shoulder. It was easy to see that this was a perfect match.

Jenny's story is one of our really happy ones. She was part of a large neglect case seizure that totaled over 40 dogs. It took months for all the legal issues to be resolved and the dogs placed for adoption. Happily all the dogs were finally adopted. Jenny found her forever home with a family living in Pikesville, Kentucky.

Sugar was another of the neglect case dogs. She was placed in a wonderful foster home to try and help her overcome her shyness and fear of being around people. She spent lots of time hiding behind the furniture. Her foster mom provided love and a secure home for her. Slowly, Sugar became a more confident dog. She was adopted by a great family who have nothing but love for her.

Annie was a sweetheart, very loving. However, she was hard to place since she was an older, big dog. She spent a long time in a foster home where she learned all the things she needed to be a great family member. Happily, a family who was able to love all of her, adopted her.

Buddy spent almost a year in a local shelter. Despite that, he was a happy fellow. Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue was able to get him placed in a wonderful foster home. His coat gleamed and he seemed to always be smiling once he was groomed. He spent little time in foster. He was quickly adopted by a family in Englewood, Ohio.

Copper was a fun loving dog that enjoyed having his ears scratched. However, he was constantly overlooked while in the shelter. He just didn't seem to stand out.Then for some reason, he got lost in the system. He languished in a kennel with no number and no record of him in the system. Luckily, a volunteer recognized him and got some action started. He got a new number, then left the shelter for a foster home. It was apparent immediately to the foster family that he was a really neat dog. He was crate trained, housebroken, loved people, kids, and CATS. He also rarely barked. He wasn't in foster very long before a family found him on the Internet and adopted him. He now has his own family to love.

Sassy was a lively lady that really didn't enjoy being in that shelter kennel. She did her best to get attention when people walked by. Dispite her antics she was constantly overlooked. We found a nice foster home for her where she quickly fit into the happy home life. Her foster mom taught her how to ring a bell with her nose to go out. Sassy is now living the good life in her forever home.

Kicker spent almost a year at the shelter. He earned the name Kicker because of how he would lift his rear end in the air when he peed. He was always a happy guy despite his time there. Some family finally discovered how cute he was and he now has his forever home.

Maxwell was a large black dog. The sad fact is that large black dogs are normally adopted last. He spent many months at the shelter being passed over by people looking to adopt. He finally found a foster home that readily accepted him for what he was. He learned his manners and became a nice fellow. We were contacted by a lady that was looking for a large dog just like Maxwell. It was a great match from the beginning and now Maxwell has found his forever home.
