| OH | Medina | Crystal | F | 8 yr | Crystal was turned into rescue due to the illness of her elderly owner who had given Crystal her undivided attention.

She loves going for walks on a leash. Since coming into rescue, Crystal is becoming quite playful and has been known to chase cats as a game, but has never hurt them.

| OH | Medina | Mr. Hobbs | M | 10 yr | Mr. Hobbs, a large boy, is a senior gentleman that knows sit, down, and stay. He is also crate trained and house broken.

Diagnosed with mild hypothyroidism, Mr. Hobbs is responding very well to his Thyroid medication and will need to remain on it. He also has an auto immune disease referred to as VKH which can cause loss of pigment of the lips, nose, eye rims, and maybe eyes. He has responded very well to medication for this condition and it has not yet been determined whether he will need to remain on the meds. Mr. Hobbs is cat tolerant. He would be happiest in a home where he is the only dog and his family members are adults. | Buckeye Samoyed Rescue |
| OH | Medina | Nelson | M | 8 yr | Nelson, very pretty, has a cream colored coat with lovely biscuit accents. Nelson, in good physical condition, was picked up as a stray, he had gotten away from his elderly owner who can no longer care for him. He is a super sweet boy. It is doubtful that he has had many life experiences. He is content and happy to be a companion, friend and couch potato. He is a bright boy but apparently has not been taught how to play or do tricks. He is polite and cooperative when taken places, but new experiences are stressful for him. Nelson would undoubtedly enjoy life the most if he could be a soul mate to a mature person or mature couple without a lot of expectations placed on him like trips to the pet store, attending kids balls games, etc..Nelson is an escape artist so would need a securely fenced yard. He enjoys a good run in the yard several times a day for a few minutes but then is ready to come in and be with his people. If left out unattended he will look for a way out.Nelson is neutered, current on immunizations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. | Buckeye Samoyed Rescue |
| OH | Medina | Toby | M | 2 yr | Toby was found as a stray; he probably had a good life until he ran away. He is a cute little boy, self-confident and happy when with people. He knows sit, shakes with right and left paws and his coat is in good condition. He is house broken and crate trained. Toby is full of energy, playful and non-destructive. He is a needy little guy who requires a lot of human contact and attention. He has a lot of love to give and requires, and deserves, a lot of love and attention in return. He is current on immunizations, heart worm negative, neutered, and microchipped. | Buckeye Samoyed Rescue |
