Story
Piggybeast is a 5 year-old runty pit, with pretty brindle coat, about 45 pounds, spayed, housebroken, healthy, and up to date on shots. She loves car rides, walks, and running through the woods. She is active, but is also happy to lounge around. She doesn't bark much unless she sees a stranger outside. She gets along with some dogs and has been doing great at the place we board her where she gets to play with a large group of dogs. She is not great with cats or chickens, and can be slow to warm up to new people. But with a gentle approach, she has been doing good. We originally intended to temporarily foster her after she was abandoned by her previous owner -- that was 3 years ago! But we have reached a point where we can no longer keep her. We are happy to help with costs to get her set up in a new home where she doesn't have to be isolated from the rest of the animals like she is with us.

Story
We rescued Zeus when he was only 1 month old from a litter 5 puppies whose mother belongs to a family friend. Zeus enjoys playing in the yard because he is a high energy dog. He also loves attention and being held because we held him a lot as a puppy. He will bark and/or stand by the door when he needs to go out to poop or peep. We have consistently feed him the buffalo brand of dog food for the last two years. He has a dog tag with the last registered shots. We typically take him to get groomed every three weeks because he sheds a lot of hair to be so little. His breed also has very sharp nails so it is a must to keep them cut inside the home around family and friends. We have recently had a new addition to the family and really cannot give Zeus the attention that we did before. And I recently found out that my son and I are allergic to pet dander.We are hoping to find him a good home with a backyard because he likes chasing birds and letting out energy. He is great with children 9+
