Jessica

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Senior

Smyrna, DE

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jess is an older dog with lots of energy. She loves to be around people and she loves affection. She gets along well with other dogs for the most part, but as the playing goes on, she gets more aggressive. We've had a few fights break out after a while between her and our male dog. Unsure about cats. Mine always runs before she can get close. She's good with my son but I still keep an eye on her. We adopted her from a shelter about 8 years ago so she's about 10 years old now. We noticed that she would snap at us when we pulled on her collar to hold her back. Not sure if there was trauma before we adopted her. She does not wear a collar now so we haven't had any issues with that anymore. She's never bitten any person but has drawn blood from our male dog a few times. Does not walk well on a leash. She will pull you. Other than that, she is a very lovable dog. I cannot continue to keep my dogs separated and confined to other rooms for fear that a fight will break out so we need to rehome

Zoey

Dalmatian American Bulldog

Female, Senior

Frederica, DE

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Zoey is about 11 years old. She’s always been an inside dog. My daughter moved (her dog originally) to a complex that would not accept large dogs, so I became Zoey’s new owner. Several months later, I had to relocate and move back home. My parents also do not want a large dog in the house. Zoey is currently residing in a large kennel dog house with a gated run area on the property. It breaks my heart that she cannot be inside, but I didn’t want to turn her over to the SPCA to most likely be euthanized. I want to find her a good home with lots of cuddles for her last years.

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Davie was adopted by me and my family at the time in Alaska. He is 2 years old. He is good in a home with other dogs or by himself. Alone he is quite the couch potato. He has to adjust to meeting new dogs. He is not a biter when meeting new people. Just a barker until you come up and touch him and then he wants rubs from you as that is his favorite. He is calm and a truly a joy. Due to divorce and a change in become a single income home in a new state it’s hard to afford to keep him and as a single mother I have to prioritize and feel he deserves a better and less busy home.

He is fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, neutered, microchipped and will go home with pet insurance. We believe he is 3-4 years old.
