Our Pet List


Pet of the Month

They all deserve to be pet of the month. We are waiting on a possible Pomeranian coming in. He is neutered and weighs around 18 pounds. Yes he is a big boy.. Also a young Great Dane might be coming in soon. The rescues are in the works. We do not notify people. Please keep checking our site for photos and descriptions of new rescue when they come in.

VERY IMPORTANT AND URGENT NEWS.  MUST READ PLEASE!!!!!!

We are doing our best to save as many dogs, baby horses, and Sugar Gliders in need as we can safely and financially afford to do.  We are a private run rescue which means I personally financially support this rescue with my own funds.

Sadly due to lack of donations the abandoned baby horse and Zebra rescue must be put on hold for a little while. I spent pretty much 99% of my own money building the barn and putting up a pasture. Both still need more money to complete.

We are still in need of hay and horse pellets along with cash gift amounts.  I have 3 horse rescues that have become our mascots and will forever stay here to educate people.

SPECIAL NOTICE:  We have just finished the construction of our dog rescue kennel building   **** with a huge outside fenced in exercise area for the dog rescues ****. 

Who We Are

THUNDER HILL GREAT DANE RESCUE INCLUDING PAPILLONS & POMERANIANS is privately run by Dottie Schira who also heads DOGS2RESCUE (Abandoned Pregnant Dog Rescue). We take in dogs from KILL shelters, pounds, and owners who can no longer keep them. Our informative web site is at www.dogs2rescue.com . In addition Dottie Schira runs OUT OF LOVE SUGAR GLIDER RESCUE, a National rescue organization.  Their website is www.sugargliderrescue.com

Our newest venture is THUNDER HILL "ORPHAN FOAL & ZEBRA" RESCUE. We take in orphaned foals that were ripped from their mothers' and headed for the slaughterhouse since the newest thing is selling ponies coats over seas and their meat is sold to restaurants in Europe. How horrible. I am taking in some of the orphan foals, raising them for a few months and adopting them out. Unfortunately we have to purchase these foals to save them. It costs us anywhere from $300 to $500 per foal which does not include vet bills, feed bills, Farrier fees and so on. These foals will end up being great horses. We also take in Zebras that people purchased not realizing that they do not always make good pets. To learn more about our Foal and Zebra rescue visit our site at www.thunderhillrescue.com

Adopting a friend

There is an application form adopters must fill out, a phone interview and a contract that must be signed with each animal adopted from us. Dog care information is given with each dog/puppy to help new owners to better care for their new pet. Pups are given their first set of shots and are wormed. Adults are spayed/neutered, heart worm tested, updated on shots, wormed and given any other medical care they may need. Adoption fees may vary.

Come Visit Us!

We are located in Medina, Ohio just south of Cleveland. Viewing of the animals are by appointment ONLY. Our phone hours are Monday - Saturday 11 AM till 6:30 PM EST. Appointments to see the animal you are interested in can be made later than 6:30 PM.
