My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am unfortunately in need of a new home for our dog, whom I love dearly. My husband has passed away, and I cannot care for Hero the way he needs to be cared for. Due to my work schedule, he is spending 7 hours a day in his kennel. He loves people, but other dogs, not so much. He likes to snuggle and loves to play tug of war or with any squeaky toy. His kennel is his safe spot and where he sleeps. He was adopted for us by our daughter in law in May 2020, and will be 6 years old on Memorial Day.
Even though he has some "pit" in him, it doesn't come through in his personality.

I will not let him go unless I am certain he is going to be loved and cared for the way my husband and I did.
