Story

Teddy is a 4 year old fun loving, happy boy! He loves people and loves to be outside or relaxing inside. He is neutered but does not do great with male dogs. He is fine with them in passing or between fences. It’s mainly around food and toys. He does well with my two female dogs& cats. He was raised around my 5 children ages 16/12/7/5 and 9 months but does not like the baby pulling and climbing on him. Recently divorced and my new home is smaller and it’s been harder to navigate the baby around him. He has never bitten or hurt anyone. He loves to play and cuddle with my older 4. Neighbor kids come into the house/yard to play with him with no problems. He is 60-70lbs, no health issues, breed dna test available to share. He is super loving and sweet but between financial issues/ space and giving him the attention he deserves I’ve been sad to admit he would thrive in a different home. More info available

Story

Cooper is a loving, sweet dog, but needs more exercise than we can give him. He barks at us to go out and we will take him out to potty, but we do not have a fenced in yard where he can let out his energy. Looking for a good home where he can play!

Story

Archie was found on the side of road as a puppy. He’s a great dog. Great with my four year old and isn’t bothered by crying or a new baby. He is also very good with our toy poodle. He’s very affectionate and smart. He knows basic commands and is house broke. He is a large dog and our yard isn’t big enough for him. With two small children, we don’t have the time to give to take Archie to dog parks etc to give him what he needs.

Cecil Edward kokell

American Staffordshire Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Elsmere, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted Cecil from a shelter 9/25. It was too quick of a decision. He is still young and with his breed he loves to run and we live in apartment complex. He enjoys dogs and being outside and loves to go on hikes. He loves to play and be near people. We just don't feel like he is living his best life and we cannot give him all the attention he deserves. We will keep him and wait for the right family. We will not take him back to the shelter. He is a sweet boy and loves to cuddle at night but also likes to have "zoomies" throughout the day and night . We have one cat and they get along and play well. He is potty trained and he uses a dog bell to let us know when he has to go out. We both work long days and he is free to roam. I will miss him but I also want him to have his best life. I feel like a home with a big back yard would be great. He loves to fetch sticks and balls and frisbees. He enjoys sitting on the porch and just being with people. Hopefully we find a great fit!
