Story
Xena is the sweetest pit i’ve ever encountered. I’ve had her since she was 5 months in 2021. She loves her cuddles and loves nice long walks outside. Very playful and always ready for a snack. She understands key words such as “walk, outside, snack, sit, stay bathroom” Unfortunately, my allergies are getting worse I am no longer able to care for her. I’m hoping we can find a great home with a loving family who can provide her with love and the attention she deserves.

Story
I’ve had him for almost three years now, and he’s still very young and full of energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and absolutely loves attention and being around people. He really thrives in an environment where he can get plenty of interaction, playtime, and love. Unfortunately, due to my current schedule and limited time, I’m no longer able to give him the attention and care he truly deserves. I’m looking to find him a new home where he can continue to grow and be happy with someone who has the time and patience to match his energy and affectionate nature.

Story
Ace of Base is a sweet and lovely dog. He doesn’t require a lot of attention, but he will not say no to it either. He love to bury himself under the bed covers and go to sleep, which is so cute. If he is being mischievous and I catch him, he won’t look at me, he would look up or away, like to “it wasn’t me, I don’t know who did”. All in all, Ace of Base is an amazing dog.
