Story
Smokey is a friendly active playful dog. He has so much energy and enjoys running. Unfortunately I have 2 other dogs whom he loves to play with but unfortunately he started having minor behavioral issues. He wants a and needs a lot of attention I have small baby of 8 months and can't have him around her because he does not acknowledge and knows when he needs to control his hyper activeness. He has never bit anyone but he continues to jump my neighbors 4ft fence. I just need someone to give him the attention he needs. I don't want to take him to shelter he still has no much life in him and looking for someone to give him his forever home

Story
So, before you ask: no, Peyton does not play football. However, she would almost certainly love to play with a football in the backyard with you! Or maybe a tennis ball? Rope toy? Peyton isn't too picky, but her absolute favorite are squeaky stuffies! This 71 pound Pitbull Terrier mix is known by our volunteer staff to love her play time, belly rubs, and sitting for treats. She's also more than happy to just lay on her belly chewing on her squeak toy. It's clear that Peyton has had prior experience in a pet home as she's housetrained and knows basic commands. She's also lived with little humans before! We think Peyton could be a really great fit for someone who has never owned a dog before--she's an easy going, mellow girl who is looking for her home ASAP! If you think she'd be a great fit for you, be sure to fill out an application for adoption today!
