I’m ready for my Mr. or Ms. Right, someone who appreciates a loyal queen with a goofy streak and a whole lot of love to give. 💋 PDA Level: Extreme Let’s be clear: I am a kisser. A hugger.

Double yes. A run with a beefy fella who can keep up? SIGN ME UP. I adore other dogs too — but I’m a sturdy girl with sturdy energy. I prefer my canine friends on the bigger, bouncier side so they can handle my enthusiasm. And after all that fitness? Snuggle time. Full-body, personal-space-obliterating snuggle time. Blankets required. Boundaries optional. 🧘‍♀️ My Quirks (AKA: Why I’m Perfect) I am, believe it or not, a tidy queen. No messes indoors. Zero accidents. I handle my business with grace and outdoor professionalism.

No “let’s just see where this goes.” If you’re searching for loyalty, passion, playfulness, and a partner who will kiss your face off daily, I’m your girl.

Meet Winny, the new love of your life. Winny will love you right back with cuddles and being held. She loves kids and other dogs. Winny is a very excited greeter though, so a home with smaller children would need extra attention so she does not accidentally knock over a little one with her excitement. Winny also LOVES walks and car rides, but will definitely lead the way on a walk so she will need someone who can hold down the fort. So much love going around with Winny. When Winny is by herself at home it takes her a few minutes to calm in her crate, but she even sleeps in her crate, with the command "nap", at night to let you get your beauty rest. Speaking of commands, this smart little girl knows "sit" and "come". Squeaky toys are her favorite and Winny is potty trained like a big girl. Winny still neeeds a slow feeder for meals since she eats with gusto. Winny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. If Winny seems like the right fit for you, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt to apply! Her adoption fee is $285. We believe she may be a year old old Boxer Whippet mix and she's around 30 pounds.

This distinguished gentleman of a cat is equal parts snugglebug, lap-warmer, and charming curmudgeon. Much like his famous namesake, Wilford Brimley (Brim) comes with a deep, soothing purr that could probably sell you oatmeal or read you a bedtime story. The moment you touch him—or better yet, bring him food—he rumbles like a bass note. Wilford Brimley the cat is an absolute people’s cat. He loves to be brushed, petted, cuddled, and adored by anyone willing to give him attention (kids included!). He takes his insulin shots like a champ—seriously, you won’t even see him flinch—and thanks to his care, his “diabeetus” is well-managed these days. That said, he’s a chow hound who can’t be trusted with an open buffet. He’ll eat anything in sight faster than you can say “Quaker Oats”, so he needs a family who can help him stick to his special diet. He sheds a bit and needs regular brushing (which he enjoys anyway). Now, let’s be honest: Wilford Brimley is not a fan of other pets. Dogs? Absolutely not. Other cats? He’s unpredictable at best, scrappy at worst. His ideal role in life is as your one-and-only—your faithful companion, your lap-warmer, your oatmeal-commercial co-star. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, people-loving cat who will give you endless love (and a touch of dramatic flair), then Wilford Brimley is ready to make your home his forever. Wilford Brimley (again, the cat) is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. His adoption fee is $50! Follow Wilford “Brim” Brimley’s journey on our Facebook page.

In Greek mythology, Athena is a goddess known for her intelligence and strength. I'm not saying reincarnation is real, but this Athena is giving the same energy. She is 3 years old, was abandoned but did not let that stop her. Her strength pushed her through as she found a home to take her in. She is very loving, loves back massages, pets, and chatting. Athena is a very talkative kitty! She tolerates male cats as long as they let her boss them around (there's that goddess energy again). Does not get along well with other female cats, dogs unknown. Silky fur and litter box trained. The clipped ear is a sign of her strength and persistence. If you are interested in Athena, please apply at pawpatroldayton.com. Athena comes up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and spayed. Her adoption fee is $50.

Oreo is a classic black-and-white tuxedo snack, but listen… this man has a very specific preference. Women? He does not see you. You are air. You are a faint breeze. You are the “skip intro” button on Netflix — useful, but not something he emotionally connects with. No beef. No fear. Just… neutrality. You are Switzerland. He is simply not moved. But MEN?? Ohhhhh, the MEN. He transforms into a love-sick Victorian poet. He will lean his head against a guy’s chest like he’s reenacting a movie poster, slow-blink like he’s writing a love ballad in his mind, and purr like he’s charging a Tesla. Oreo is Yin and Yang in one feline masterpiece. Tuxedo formal on the outside. Frat-boy golden retriever affection on the inside. He's a tuxedo icon, grown adult of 3 years old, but still young enough to make questionable life choices. His personality is gentleman, charmer, and selectively affectionate. His hobbies include bro cuddles, lounging, completely ignoring women with dignity. His ideal home is with a guy seeking his feline life partner / wingman / emotional support buddy. He has mastered the litter box and won't damage the furniture. He's not sure how he feels about other cats, but who needs them anyway when you have the magnificent Oreo? If you're a man looking for a cat who will treat you like the main character of a romance novel, Oreo is your guy. If you're a woman… you can still adopt him. Just know he will regard you as a set decoration. Adopt Oreo. Bring balance. Bring harmony. Bring your boyfriend so he'll act interested. You can stop in anytime and visit him at County Lane Kennel in Troy. Oreo tested negative for FeLV but positive for FIV. Cats with FIV can live long wonderful lives with other FIV positive cats and with non-FIV positive cats with proper acclimation. You may apply to adopt Oreo at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Oreo is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $50.

Add some ‘purr’ to your life, with cutie boy, Burr! This sweet chubby cheek boy is as snuggly as they come. He loves to curl up with you, purr his little heart out, and be your bedtime buddy. At night especially, he’s the best cuddle partner around. He’s also super talkative and will happily “chat” with you throughout the day. And when it comes to other cats—he’s all about making friends! Burr is known to be a little dramatic if you try to leave the room without giving him the love and attention he feels he deserves. If he’s talking to you, he expects to be acknowledged—he knows his worth! Like all of us, he’s had a few struggles. He has had some bowel issues in the past, though his new medicine has made a world of difference. He’s also FIV positive, which sounds scary but really just means he needs a loving, low-stress home and good care (and he has lots of years of love to give!). He’s not the biggest fan of dogs, though with time and patience he can adjust—but with cats, he’s all in! At the end of the day, this boy is pure sweetness wrapped up in a furry little package. He just needs the right home to see past “the ugly” and embrace all the good and love he has to give. We believe Burr to be around 2 years old, and currently weighs around 10 lbs (but still needs to put on a few more pounds). You may apply to adopt Burr at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Burr is vaccinated, FIV and FELV tested negative, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $50.

You can call me "Honey" if you want, because I'm the one you want! Honey is a chow chow/shepherd mix that was found as a stray in Huber Heights. The ARC was unable to take him and told the finder if she could not keep him, she would have to let him back out to roam. That is when Honey came to his current foster instead. Honey is approximately 8 years of age and SO darn snuggly. He wants to sit in your lap, lay on your arms, be inside your skin, WHATEVER if it means he can be touching you. Honey is a super vocal man. He likes to talk, howl, groan and voice his disapproval. Honey will let you know when he is overwhelmed, not happy, or doesn’t want to do something. If he is able to be right beside you he is quiet unless he needs something. Honey is not a fan of being touched in a few areas but his foster is working on him being less sensitive and tolerating touch in those areas better. Honey is a COUCH POTATO! He is more than content to lay around all day with just a 10 or so minute walk thrown in. Any longer than 10-15 minutes of walking and he gets exhausted! Honey is doing phenomenal with crate training and does well going in with a treat. Honey has no issues getting acquainted to other dogs through a barrier. Honey is working on his manners with other dogs in the same room with showing dominance and with resource guarding of something he really wants. Because of Honeys few quirks, a home with small kids would not be a great fit for him. Do you think Honey could be your forever cuddle bug, Honey?! If so, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Honey is UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $260.00.

✨ Meet Sassafras – Tiny, Saucy, and Wearing a Diaper Like She Owns the Place ✨ Age: 7 years Breed: Shih Tzu Special Skills: Toy hoarding, bossing other dogs around, outsmarting humans when convenient If you’ve ever wanted a low-energy companion with the soul of a retired librarian and the bladder of a baby squirrel, Sassafras might just be your girl. She has survived a rough past, but she is now thriving, accessorized, and ready to judge your life choices from the couch. 🌼 The Good (Yes, She Has Plenty!) Sassafras is basically a houseplant with opinions. One short walk a day, and she’s good. She strolls politely on her leash, lets you fuss with her feet, and accepts diaper changes with the quiet dignity of a toddler who has given up arguing. She LOVES cats and tolerates dogs in the same way you tolerate the coworker who chews too loudly. She won’t play with them or acknowledge them much, but she won’t start drama either (…unless they get rowdy). She finds toys and plays by herself like a tiny gremlin living her best life. 🌥 The Quirky (AKA: Her Personality) Sassafras is smart. Very smart. But she uses her intelligence selectively—mostly for mischief and ignoring you. She also likes to "mother" other dogs when they’re too loud or excitable. This is extremely funny to watch but can lead to minor disagreements when they don’t accept her unsolicited parenting. (In her mind, she is the HOA president of Behaving Correctly.) 🌧 The Challenges (Let’s Call Them… Sassafras Features) Alright. We must address the diapered elephant in the room. Sassafras is not house trained. Not a little. Not at all. She goes inside, outside, in her crate, in her diaper—her bladder has strong “live, laugh, love” energy. She’s been fully checked by the vet and is medically fine. She likely has idiopathic polydipsia, which translates to: “She thinks she is dying of thirst at all times, so she drinks constantly, so she pees constantly.” Will it improve? Possibly. Will it not improve? Also possibly. Will she continue wearing diapers like a fashion statement? Absolutely yes. She also has separation anxiety, and her method of conveying this is scratching at closed doors like she’s reenacting The Shining or singing the Song of Her People in her crate until you reconsider every life decision you’ve ever made. For this reason, she should not live in an apartment unless your neighbors are saints or legally deaf. 💛 Who Should Adopt Sassafras? Someone patient. Someone home a lot. Someone who isn’t afraid of diapers, sass, or canine opera. She would adore a quiet home, with or without other pets, and a person who appreciates a tiny sweetheart wrapped in a layer of stubbornness and wrapped again in an adult diaper. 🌸 Ready to Adopt a Spicy, Low-Energy, Slightly Leaky Companion? Sassafras is not perfect—but she’s hilarious, sweet, and wonderfully herself. If you want a dog who will make you laugh daily, keep your feet warm, and judge your snack choices… she is your girl. You may apply to her at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt. Her adoption fee is $285 and she's spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative.
