Story
Meet Astrid. She is an American Pitbull and is one of the most loving and empathetic dogs you will meet. She loves to play, cuddle, give kisses, run, and chew on her bones. She is very gentle and has never met a stranger. She has separation anxiety and is a houdini when it comes to cages. She is house trained but will sometimes pee inside if left alone for a long time I am hoping she can go to a loving home where she will get plenty of attention and room to run and play. She plays well with other dogs, as long as no food is around

Shiloh and her brother Sawyer are looking for a good home. We would like to keep them together but understand that may not be possible. They are 2 years old. We brought them home when they were 8 weeks old. Approximately 6 months later, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Sawyer is approximately 80 lbs and Shiloh is approximately 70 lbs. They were trained to a doggy door; however we have had to keep them outside lately. They are very strong. With RA, I do not have good balance and have fallen a few times because of their strength.
