Story
Meet Otis — A Gentle Soul Looking for a Patient, Loving Home Otis is a sweet, affectionate 50-pound Black Lab/Pit Bull mix rescued as a stray three years ago. He loves attention, believes he’s a lap dog, and is happiest cuddling with his people. Fetch is his favorite game, and he’ll happily play until he’s ready to relax by your side. Otis gets along well with other dogs but can be anxious due to his past, so he needs a patient family and a calm, predictable home where he can continue building confidence. Because of his sensitive nature, he’d do best in a home without young children. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion with a playful spirit and a big heart, Otis is ready to meet you. Contact Zachary at (xxx) xxx-xxxx to learn more or schedule a meet-and-greet.

Story
Grey is almost two years old. He is a very smart and loyal dog. He loves a good pet but is also okay not getting a lot of attention. Grey will play with anything you give to him and I recommend some large, tough toys. Grey also loves to be hugged. The perfect home for Grey would be with adult(s) that would benefit from having a dog for security purposes. He is an excellent guard dog. He is very aggressive towards strangers. When having visitors, he should be secured. Grey has been walked a mile on a leash every day for most of his life. He has been taken to the vet regularly and is up-to-date on his shots as well as heartworm and flea medications. When he was a puppy, Grey stayed with an obedience trainer for a week for training. He came back well-behaved and is house-trained.
