Story
Shadow is a sweet dog, very loving! Completely house trained he is indoors. Always the biggest question, why looking to get rid of him. I will be completely honest he is way too wild for our house. We have a small house and live in town. Ideally he needs a big yard or someone who likes to walk. He has enough energy for 5 dogs. We work full time and have kids, he does not get the attention or time he needs from us. He is ornery to get attention and is bored. He is 4 years old. Can walk on a leash but not super good at it, he pulls. Big thing with him is he does not do good with any dog smaller than him or any small animal at all. He thinks everything is a squirrel and he wants to kill it. He is so good with the kids he has never bit anyone. I just want him to go to someone who will love him. I feel guilty for how many hours a day he is in the kennel (yes he is kennel trained). Thank you for looking!

Story
Artemis is a very sweet dog he absolutely loves playing with his brother and my bigger dog.He has some anxiety with new people and does get along with children but he needs to warm up to them first if they are new kids. So he would need a very slow introduction and will nip if he is pushed into being pet before warming up first.He wants to go on car ride and loves playing with toys. He knows how to let you know when he needs to go potty but if not taken out on time he will have an accident. If thinking about adopting him he just needs some training with potty training and some basic commands and some more socializing. Would love to keep him and his brother together if possible.

Diesels is very loving dog who just wants to sit on your lap and be cuddled and kissed. He loves playing with his brother and toys as well as my big dog.

He still needs some practice with potty training but does know how to go outside just will have an accident if not taken out on time. Still needs some training with basic commands and some socializing.Would love to keep him and his brother together if possible.

Gonzo

American Pit Bull Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Baldwin City, KS
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We believe Gonzo is a Shepherd pit mix, although we cannot confirm this. He enjoys playing with his toys and prefers to lie by your side. He is a resource guard, protecting his toys, food bowl, and occasionally shoes. While he is generally friendly with other dogs, it is essential to separate his belongings, such as toys, food, and water bowls, to prevent any potential conflicts. If you have children, Gonzo may not be suitable for a household with young children. However, if you are a couple looking for a dog to love and only have one, Gonzo would be an excellent companion.

Story
Kyle was born May 15, 2025 to a local person who owns the mother and father pit bulls. We acquired him 10 weeks later. He was shy in the beginning, but has turned into a great dog for me and my husband. He loves toys!! Loves to play with balls and then wants us to chase him. He sleeps in our bedroom, on a rug on the floor or on the bed. The only issue is his fear of people he does not know. He shows this by barking aggressively and growling. We have sought behavioral training and this has helped. Plus he is on two medications. He is more relaxed and less aggressive. He needs someone who will expose him to more social interactions. Maybe someone who already has pit bulls or someone who loves pitties. He is a beautiful dog. We just want to find him a home with people who will love him.
