Story
I adopted Prince from the shelter in Dec of 2025. He is a sweet boy, very cuddly and listens well. However, I work 40+ hours a week, almost 10 hours/day and it’s not sustainable for him to be in a crate that long. I built him a room in my apartment with all his toys and a gate and he gets out of it everyday and chews various things around the house. He is an active dog and loves to go on walks and runs. He turns 2 in May and deserves a home where he isn’t left by himself for 40 hours/week. Up to date on all of his shots and I will provide anything he needs. He does not bark often and I am looking for him to go to a calm, loving, and safe home. He is not aggresive towards humans and warms up to other dogs.

Story
I’ve had my dog, Usagi, since she was a baby, and she has been a loyal and loving companion ever since. She is a 3-year-old female Pit Bull Terrier (born April 1, 2023), with a beautiful white and blue merle coat with tan markings. Usagi is affectionate, protective, and full of personality. She loves being around people, relaxing at home, and staying close to her owner. She can be playful and energetic, but also enjoys just chilling and being by your side. I am looking for a new home that is stable, patient, and loving, where she can get consistent attention and care. Ideally, someone who understands her breed and can give her the time, structure, and affection she deserves.

Story
Amos was a rescue from the pound but came home with me extremely happy and kind. He is a big ball of loving muscle who loves attention and chew toys i genuinely don’t think he knows any other thoughts other then hungry and happy. He sometimes forgets how big he is and acts like a lap dog, but he’s a great companion who loves the outdoors and learns commands pretty quickly. Amos is a strong loving dog who is very eager to share his affection with everyone he meets including cats and dogs.
