\"Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cayden, Howie, Lobo & Miracle Have Been Waiting for You!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Save the Animals Foundation<\/a> (STAF) is a loving no-kill shelter here in Cincinnati, and they have a message for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“This holiday season, we\u2019re on a mission to bring joy to the lives of these four incredible long-term residents. They\u2019ve been patiently waiting for their forever homes, and it\u2019s time to make their dreams of a loving family a reality.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As a bonus, families adopting one of these sweeties will also receive a special adoption package, sponsored by one of STAF’s dedicated volunteers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s meet these four fabulous friends, and if you or someone you know is ready to be a fur-ever family, reach out to the shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog: Meet Cayden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cayden has a sad and tragic backstory. He was found with a gunshot wound to his shoulder and lost a leg. He’s only three years old and has spent two of those years at the shelter. But he is a determinedly happy boy who loves to play and cuddle with stuffed animals! He has great manners and is well-behaved on a leash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cayden is also deaf, and he knows sign language. Here’s his special adoption package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We are offering five training sessions for a deaf dog, a Tripod pack consisting of a harness, a Resource Guide, raised bowls and Cayden’s favorite big stuffed animals and bed.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about Cayden…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog: Meet Howie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Howie is an optimistic boy, who’s loyal, devoted and sweet. STAF volunteers often call him, “Big Marshmallow.” He learns quickly because he’s both smart and eager to please. As a big boy, he needs regular exercise like walks and outings. He’s very good at riding in the car, so would make a perfect companion for exploring. But he’s also comfortable being left alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howie’s special adoption package includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We are offering eight training sessions and one year of free overnights with the family currently fostering Howie.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about Howie…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog: Meet Lobo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lobo is an adorable mix of many different breeds. He was found injured and wandering around a country road, and sadly lost a leg. He’s fully-recovered and enjoys daily zoomies as a tripod! He loves toys and giving kisses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobo’s adoption will include this special package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We are offering 6 agility sessions, a tripod pack consisting of a harness, a resource guide, raised bowls and Lobo’s favorite toys.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about Lobo…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog: Meet Miracle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Miracle gets her name from her miraculous recovery– both physical and emotional. She was discovered abandoned under a crate with another dog, both in bad shape. She’s young and energetic– with a spunky attitude and happy demeanor. She loves people and would love a family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miracle’s special adoption package includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We are offering two weeks of board and training and a membership to the Cincinnati Nature Center.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about Miracle…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll probably want to look into STAF’s adoption process here<\/a>. This amazing shelter has many dogs (and cats!) who would love to meet you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
