Story
I’m fostering this sweet girl for my son. Remington “Remy” has decided she wants to be an only pet. She is sweet as pie with all humans. Loves to cuddle and chew on toys. Sadly no one we know can take her and shelters are full. We can’t keep her as she dislikes our dogs. She needs a new home by Monday June 15

Story
Hercules is a five-year-old Pitbull Boxer mix. He has a big personality and high energy but is also extremely lovable. He loves to play and is always showing emotions, whether happy, anxious, or frustrated, but will cuddle and sleep in bed with you if you allow it. He also has some separation anxiety and is an anxious eater. He typically will only eat if you are home with him. His biggest issue is other animals. He used to live with a cat when he was a puppy, and also lived with a male dog. However, he has since been aggressive and reactive to other animals. He is well-behaved and has good obedience, but he is not good around other animals. We also do not recommend he live with young kids as he isn't necessarily aware of his large size. He has never shown aggression towards people, but he can be reckless when excited. He is a wonderful boy and forever loyal. He quickly grows on people and begs for their attention. With a newborn on the way, we are desperately looking for a good home.

Story
We are heartbroken to have to make this decision, but due to an unexpected family emergency, we are looking for a loving new home for our amazing dog. This has nothing to do with his behavior or personality — he truly is a wonderful dog and this decision has been incredibly difficult for our family. He is extremely loving, smart, loyal, and fully housebroken. He does very well with children, especially autistic children, and has always been gentle, patient, and comforting. He thrives on love and companionship and would make an incredible addition to the right family. We are looking for a safe, stable, and caring home where he will be loved as much as he is here. He deserves the absolute best, and we want to make sure he goes to someone who understands how special he is.

Story
Meet Bruce! Bruce is around 4 years old and is a pit/boxer mix. This playful and energetic pup is completely house trained—never has an accident! He’s also a zoomies expert, and loves to spend his time sprinting outside. Bruce was surrendered with another dog, but we are unsure how he does with cats and he would prefer a home without young kids. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, reliable companion, Bruce is ready to make your home his own!
