Vaughn

Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Meet Vaughn! This four year old brindle beefcake is as sweet as he is handsome. Shy and reserved, Vaughn can be a bit of a wallflower in new surroundings. He feels most at home in the great outdoors and soaks up the sun every chance he gets. He loves to chase tennis balls, but hates bringing them back. He's discovering how much fun water can be, but hasn't mastered the art of swimming yet. After so much time being neglected and ignored, Vaughn is busy learning how beautiful life can be. Inside the home, Vaughn is crate trained, house broken, and knows all of his basic commands. He will be your little shadow, but will slip away to take a nap if he can find a nice sunny spot to bask in. When playing or excited, this 70 pound nugget can get a little boisterous. Mixed with a smidge of cattle dog he tends to be mouthier than most. Due to this, we would think an adult only home or a home with older kids would be ideal. He loves meeting other dogs on walks, but doesn't always follow normal social cues in a pack. He can get overstimulated and a bit defensive when pushed, so slow introductions are a must. He would do well as an only pup or with another medium sized playmate that would let him take the lead and be the boss. If you think Vaughn may be the pup you've been looking for fill out an adoption application or contact us today for your private meet and greet!

Story
She is fine with animals. However, she is a bully. She is extremely people picky and does not like to be approached, she prefers to make contact. She is extremely food driven in any type of training. She will get into any food possible, if left unattended. She’s still very hyper. Overall, she’s a really good dog and just needs the love. I don’t have time to give her right now.

Story
This is Rose, she’s 2 years old and I adopted from a shelter 2 years ago. Her favorite words are “walk” and “outside” she loves stuffed toys especially when they squeak. More than anything she love’s attention and to cuddle. She enjoys being at dog parks. Ideally I’d like for her to have a back yard or more out door time. She’s always had another dog with her but recently she’s been a single dog.

Jackson is a sweet boy that loves to be pet and around humans. He can be anxious at times and pace. He loves outdoor time but he has skin problems in the summer time which I am unable to tend to properly with my busy schedule. He sleeps in a gated area of the house. He gets along with cats and loves the kids.

Story
*Vinny is part of our Take Time to Fall in Love Promotion. See our Adoption Procedures page for more details.* A cuddler, a smart boy, a lover, and good looks…interested? Then ask for Vinny, yours truly! While I can get a little uncomfortable with new people at first; with proper introduction, I end up being just a love bug. I am playful, I enjoy long walks and I’m a lucky guy because whoever takes me out always makes sure to have some time for snuggling. I am known as a lap dog, after all who says only small dogs can climb into someone’s lap. Oh and of course, how can you not love my nose? Guess what, some may have thought I was not good with other dogs but let me tell you something, I am actually doing pretty well some of the doggies in play groups here. We are just having fun like kids would at recess. (Of course, this still means that I may not like every single dog) So if you have a dog, why don’t you bring him in so we can meet and see how we may do together.
