Story
Hello, friends, my name is Eli, when I was a baby they called me Flopper, but now I’m a big boy and have a big boy name. Although being named after a shoe, flip flop Flopper wasn’t too shabby for a pup! I am now turned into a big, beautiful, brown & white, boy. I’m the color of an oatmeal cream pie cookie. As you can see from my photo, I’m so very sweet and loving. I’m described as a very quiet, pretty laid back type of guy. I’m of course neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. Plus crate & house trained and I have done great with both! I am also starting work on leash manners which I am also doing well with because I’m very good at learning. I was raised around multiple dogs of all sizes and colors and temperaments. I do wonderful with other dogs, I am very submissive, not bossy at all. I also really adore the kiddos. I haven’t tested with cats yet, but Foster Mom says with proper introductions and supervision I would be fine because I’m an all around nice boy! I know we can really get along and be a family together. Basics: Eli PC- male neutered, DOB 10/9/23, potential weight when fully grown 55-65 lbs, Pitbull mix, fawn with some white spots, good with dogs, cats, kids, happy and playful, laid back, sweet, potty and crate trained Location: South Texas but can be transported out of state How To Adopt: Please sign up to adopt me.

Story
Hi! My name is Mbappe (pronounced M bah pay). My name is a good one because there is a soccer ball player with that name and I’m black and white simuttlar to a soccer ball. Plus I’m athletic and active! I am a girl dog. I’ve had 10 days of training with Bark Dog Training. So I learned a few things. I know SIT, DOWN, and walking on a stringy thing, hmmmm the humans call them leashes. It makes sure your human is attached to you. I am also house & crate trained. I get along well with other dogs & kids (not tested with cats). I am a typical active pup and of course, I still enjoy to exercise my chompers, as an avid chewer, expect to take me to the Pet Store to pick out many hard bones. Many! I can be a bit shy on first introductions, but warm up fast. I would love an active family that will also continue with my training because my brain still has so much room in there for more words that make my body do things for treats. You know! In case you’re interested in how I came out to have these ears and adorable tuxedo, here’s what my ingredients are: She has had a DNA done and is 64% Pit Bull, 15.5% Great Pyrenees, 10% lab, 5% blue heeler, and 5% Staffordshire. I think they forgot 99% good girl! And I’m black and white not blue so what’s that about!?! I can’t wait to meet you, remember, I need a brief warm up so don’t expect immediate wiggles! You will get them though. Basics: Mbappe- spayed female, chipped, vaccinated, 7 months, large, black/white, Pitbull mix, great with dogs and kids, not cat tested, potty and crate trained, shy at first but warms up quick, doing training class, active How To Adopt: Please sign up to adopt me.

Meet Appa, a 5-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as his energy! He is a bundle of joy who is always eager for attention and playtime. Appa gets along famously with other dogs, making him the perfect companion for playdates at the park. However, he is not a fan of cats and prefers to steer clear of them. Despite his lively nature, Appa is incredibly sweet-natured and has never shown any signs of aggression.
