Story
Hi, we’re looking to rehome our dog Cooper. We adopted him from a foster because we’d always wanted a medium-to-large dog, and it’s been quite an experience. Cooper is a 7-month-old Pitbull mix. He’s a good, smart dog, and we want to be very up front about him. He has had a few biting incidents with our small dog and with two adult family members. There were no serious injuries, and it seems to happen when he gets overly excited and overstimulated. Because of this, we’ve been doing training with a pitbull trainer and working on his commands and impulse control. The trainer is happy to speak with anyone interested in Cooper and share his feedback on him. Outside the home, Cooper is great on walks at the park and we haven’t had any problems there. Sadly, because of these incidents and our current family setup, we can’t keep him. We truly believe he needs someone more experienced with strong, high-energy breeds and someone who can help him channel his energy.

Story
Kilo (2.5 -3yr Neutered Male) Rescued from Moreno Valley Shelter on 10/23/25 Microchipped Housebroken Crate trained I rescued Kilo from the shelter because he was on the list to be euthanized, my intentions from the beginning was to foster but no rescue pulled him so felt my only action was to adopt to rehome. Kilo has been great with my other neutered male dog of 1yr. and my son of 9yrs. He seems to be very neutral to people and would suggest a slow introduction to other dogs. He’s a very shy/scared dog (maybe past trauma) Lower end drive for a Malinois but has been doing great and showing good signs of obedience training. Kilo is used to sleeping inside the home. Treat motivated not so much toy motivated. Does well hanging out inside the home for an extended period of time and does best with outside breaks and play in between. Is good with boundaries when taught. Once he gets to trust you he loves cuddles and loves his words of affirmation. Breed experienced is highly preferred.
