Story
Hello there, I'm Azora, a spirited 3-year-old Pit Mix with a heart full of love and a zest for life! I'm ready to bring a whole lot of joy and companionship into your life. I've got energy to spare and a playful spirit that's infectious! Whether it's a game of fetch, a run in the park, or some exciting outdoor activities, count me in. I'm ready to be your active partner, joining you on adventures and keeping the good times rolling. My walker described me as a very friendly and sweet girl, and I wear that title proudly! I'm a people-lover through and through, and I can't wait to be your loyal and affectionate companion. My charming smile and expressive ears are just a glimpse of the warmth I'll bring into your life. I'll be honest - I can get a bit reactive around other dogs, so it's important to introduce me to new furry friends with care. My walker noted that I might do better with some space from other dogs. A bit of patience and gradual socialization might be the key to helping me feel more comfortable around my four-legged counterparts. I am heartworm positive but the treatment for that if provided by the shelter once I'm adopted. You just have to make sure you have time to bring me in for two sperate treatments. The adoption staff can go over that with you in more detail. I'm looking for a loving and patient home where my energy and affection will be cherished. While I might need some extra guidance when it comes to interacting with other dogs, I promise to shower you with love and companionship. If you're willing to work with me, I'll be a loyal and devoted friend for life.

Story
**CURRENTLY IN FOSTER CARE. Please contact the shelter in order to set up a meet and greet** Ginger is as sweet as can be! Giving kisses and cuddling are her favorite hobbies. She is potty trained and does well on leash during walks. She is crate trained and does really well if she has something to chew on during her time in the crate. She loves to destroy stuffed toys, so she needs supervision while she has them. She is treat motivated and knows how to sit on command. She does really well with our male dog in the home and was able to warm up quickly to him and other dogs. She loves to cuddle up with blankets and curls up in "donut mode when she is chilly. She is cautious and friendly with other people. She gets a case of the wiggles and the tippy taps when she's really excited and it's the cutest thing! She really is so sweet and happy! She is ready to find her forever home!

Story
Hi there! My name may be Princess, but I'm no snooty royal. I just know I deserve to be spoiled! I'm a 1-year-old female pitty who came from animal control, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home.I'm very sweet, playful, and fun! I have a bit of a mischievous side too-I can be a counter surfer because that's where the treats are. Maybe that has something to do with my figure! I'm always up for a game or an adventure, and I know commands like "sit" and "leave it," which makes me a pretty good listener. When I'm out on walks, I have high energy and get super excited because I love exploring and being outside. I'm easy to walk, but sometimes I can't resist chasing after squirrels. I promise I'm not fearful, just curious and playful. I did bark at other dogs because I was so excited to see them and wanted to play, but I could use a little help learning how to interact with them properly. I'm looking for a family that can match my energy and give me lots of love and attention. If you think you can spoil me like the princess I am, come meet me! Let's see if we can make each other happy and start our new adventure together.

I do great on the leash once I get my first excitement of going for a walk out of me. I pay close attention to my person and commands and have 'sit' down to an art!

Story
Hey there, I'm Chavonne, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself with you. My friends at the shelter describe me as having low to medium energy, which means I'm just the right blend of laid-back and playful. I may be a bit nervous around new people at first, but once I warm up to you, I'm as sweet as can be. I've mastered commands like sit, and I'll take treats from your hand ever so gently. When it comes to other dogs, I tend to do pretty well. I've been known to get along with my furry friends, especially the male ones. However, I might be a bit selective around female dogs, so it's something to keep in mind. When I'm out for a walk, I have great manners with my leash. I'll walk alongside you with ease and sit patiently for treats along the way. Overall, I'm just a smart and friendly girl looking for a loving home where I can thrive. If you're ready to welcome a sweet and loyal companion into your life, then look no further!
