Story
Cali is a sweet girl once found wandering the countryside in a near by county. She was in a foster home briefly...then adopted,but returned because of her high energy level. She then moved to another foster home for several years as since COVID dog adoption are slow. She recently moved into boarding facility as her foster Dad lost his home during Hurricane Helene. Cali needs a home with a secure fence...preferalby a privacy fence and a nice size yard to play in when outside. She is very treat motivated, but because once out on the street she still tends to take treats roughly because overly excited about them. So no children under 12 years of age. She also tends to resource guard her food so does not need to be in a home with other animals that graze on their food all day. Cali will need to eat separately. She once had a best buddy Cooper, but was even wary about him being around her food, treats, and sometimes toys. She needs to be the dominant dog in the house to ensure everyone gets along..and not sure she would do well with cats or young children. Cali is very excitable and feels like a train if she runs into you. Having said all this...don't be afraid. She is a very sweet and playful girl. She loves hard rubber toys and she snuggles and gives kisses to the kennel workers.

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Augusta, GA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Memphis is approximately 1 year and 7 months old and weighs 65 lbs. He was found as a stray and never claimed. Memphis is a sweet boy who loves cuddling on the couch. He rides well in the car and loves to go places. When he sees his harness and leash come out he gets very excited. Once out the door he is so hyped up that he pulls on the leash. Memphis enjoys toys, bones and treats. He takes treats gently and knows the following commands – sit, paw, and down. He loves to hug so he will jump up on you to get one so homes with small children is not ideal. Memphis will run after a ball but has not mastered the return. He would rather you come to him. Unsure if he is housebroken, but he does not go to the bathroom in the interior part of his kennel. Memphis is current on all vaccines and neutered. He will be microchipped prior to adoption.

Story
Jade is a young adult Rottweiller that belonged to and was raised by backyard breeder till ended up with loving man that took care of her. She is now in a foster home with two other large breed dogs, but is was initially a challenge. Jade is crate trained and stays in it when foster Dad is gone for long hours. She is loving...thinks she is a lap top, but she is also strong-willed. Jade is starved for attention and can overly excited at times. But she does know some basic commands: sit, down. Wait and stay are harder, but she is learning. She needs a family that can walk her and play with her alot! She is a cuddle-bug...starved for attention as she was probably tied up in someone's backyard! She forgets that she is now 75 lbs of goofiness! Jade loves to snuggle up with people. She is good with kids, but since a big goofball...kids over 12 ONLY. Jade is a dominant dog so should only be with another dog that is submissive and one that likes to play, but preferably the only dog. A meet and greet will be required. She requires a fenced in yard..preferably a privacy fence. Jade is not a dog a dog that can wander an unfenced property.
