German Shepherd Dog and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Toledo, Ohio

Dublin, Murphy & Fiona – Our Little Lucky Charms

Looking to add a new member to your family? Meet three very special love bugs who have been surrounded by care and compassion since their very first moments.

On St. Patrick’s Day, their mama gave birth to eight beautiful shepherd/pit mix puppies. Tragically, she passed shortly after, leaving behind her babies and a heartbroken owner unsure of what to do next. With the help of our local shelter and several rescue partners, these precious pups were placed into loving hands—and Dogworks welcomed three of them: Dublin, Murphy, and Fiona.

From day one, they’ve been bottle-fed around the clock and raised in a nurturing foster home alongside other dogs and cats. Thanks to that early dedication, they are thriving! Now eating on their own, learning crate training, and well on their way to being housebroken, these pups are off to an amazing start.

Dublin (“Pony”)
The biggest and darkest of the trio, Dublin is a gentle soul who loves affection but also enjoys a little independence. He’ll happily wander the yard exploring, then come back for snuggles. When he’s happy, he prances around like a tiny pony—hence his nickname!

Murphy
Murphy is your classic charming troublemaker. Confident, curious, and full of personality, his adorable freckled nose hints at his playful mischief. He’s also the biggest lover of the group—expect lots of kisses, cuddles, and a constant shadow by your side.

Fiona
Miss Fiona is equal parts princess and boss lady. She adores being held and doted on but also confidently leads her brothers like a tiny queen. She’s independent, nurturing, and when she’s excited, she hops around the yard like a happy little bunny.

These puppies have been given the very best start despite a heartbreaking beginning, and now they’re ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love into their forever homes.

They will be available for adoption after their spayneuter appointments May 18

Their adoption fee is $400.00 each
