Story
Introducing Breeze. Breeze would like nothing more than to breeze into your home and live her best life. She is a little shy around new people and will need a little time to warm up to you. Once she builds that trust, she reveals her affectionate side and loves to show her personality. If you have a family we recommend that kids living with her should be teenagers. Breeze appears to be house trained, which is a great bonus for her new home. She walks great on a leash, making her a fantastic companion for outdoor adventures. She is new to meeting and playing with dogs and prefers dogs that meet her low to medium energy level. We recommend a dog on dog meet and greet if you have fur babies at home. if you're ready to give Breeze the love and patience she deserves, she'll reward you with the loyalty and affection. Don't miss the chance to welcome this wonderful girl into you life!

Meet Cruz Cruz is a young, spirited Dutch Shepherd Mix who’s ready to be your ultimate adventure buddy!

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Marco: The Handsome Tuxedo Pup! Marco is a dashing young adult American Pitbull Terrier mix with a striking tuxedo coat that makes him look like he's always ready for a formal event! But don't let the fancy look fool you-Marco is a playful, affectionate dog who loves his people deeply. He can be a little cautious around unfamiliar faces at first, but once he gets to know you, his loyalty and admiration shine through. Marco's favorite pastime? Chewing on toys, especially if they come in the form of a ball! He could spend hours entertaining himself, and you'll love watching him play. He also enjoys the company of female dogs who match his energy, making him a good companion for a similarly active and playful dog. However, he's not as fond of male dogs, so a home where he's the only boy would suit him best. Though Marco is growing out of his puppy days, he still has some puppy-like mouthiness and excitement when greeting familiar faces, so he'd do well with someone who can continue guiding him through his training. Once he settles down, Marco makes an excellent hiking buddy-he's got the stamina for adventure but also knows how to enjoy a calm, steady pace. Marco ready to find his forever home with someone who appreciates his unique personality and adventurous spirit!
