If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
We adopted Arrow after he was in the local shelter for a year. He is a wonderful, loving 4.5-5 year old pit mix. We have had him for a year and half now and would love to keep him, but need to rehome him for 2 main reasons.
1. We can't give him the attention and activity he needs anymore. He is mostly a couch potato, but when he decides he wants attention or activity, he can get impatient. He likes walks (but is very dog reactive). By far his favorite thing is to go to a field and chase a ball. The problem we have is that Arrow is now competing for time with all the activities that a 6-year kid has on their schedule. That leads to number 2.
2. Arrow has not chilled out around kids (fine with adults) after 18 months. Which is a problem when he is bigger (70 lbs) than most of them. Anytime my son starts dancing or squeaking (as kids do), Arrow gets excited and starts running around the house. This makes us have to split parenting so one is with our son and one with Arrow.
