Story
Creed is a very goofy, cuddly lovable dog who needs a home that can give him lots of time and attention. He is still a curious puppy, a protector, and a big softie. He is command trained, house broken, as well as crate trained. He is a mix of boxer, lab, and pit, but his breed is truly unknown. I took him in as a favor to a friend but unfortunately due to a recent job change, I cannot provide him with the life I know he deserves.

Story
Rehoming 3 year old pitbull Looking to rehome my 3 year old pit, she is very well behaved, trained, calm. The reason i am rehoming is because i am moving out of the US and it’s hard to take pits or i would bring her. She is really good with kids and was raised around kids. Only thing is she is not good with cats and likes to play rough with other dogs, not aggressive but rough Ive raised and trained her since she was 6 weeks old if i wasnt moving i would never get rid of her

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Louie is a 7 year old Blue Heeler/ Corgi mix. He has been in a loving home since he was 6 weeks old. He loves belly pets and playing fetch. Louie would do the best with a big yard with plenty of room to run around. He is house trained, but currently lives outside with another dog. He is starting to have some hip issues but still loves to run and play, just stiff when he first gets up and has difficulty with some stairs. Loud noises like fireworks and gunshots frighten him, but do not make him aggressive. He does okay with other dogs but would prefer to be the center of attention.

Story
He is a sweet dog with a lot of personality and energy, but he just isn’t the right fit for our family. We have worked hard on training and giving him structure, but he is very strong-willed and high energy. With young kids in the house — especially a baby — we’ve realized he needs a home that can give him more time, space, and attention than we are able to right now. He is very food-motivated and tends to grab food quickly, which has been challenging with a 7-month-old learning to eat. He also tends to be very energetic and doesn’t understand personal space, which makes things difficult with little ones. Now i wont say hes bad with kids, because hes not, he really is good with the baby, just too hyper and food motivated and its very hard to watch him and watch the baby and the other dog and get things done around the house. He has his moments of being very sweet and laid back but we here just don’t have a big enough house. He’s a really sweet and laid back dog most of the time.

Story
Atlas is a very kind dog. His eyes are beautiful, and he has a strong desire to please and be loved. He may look scary, but he's anything but scary, so I do not want him going to you if you think he's there to be tough. This is a kind soul, and the only "issue" he has, is if he sees another dog while walking, he will try to go after them. But I think this is more out of a desire to protect than to be aggressive. He is very protective. If he's properly introduced to other pets, there's no problem, but he does prefer to be the only pet in the family, or at least the most loved. He doesn't like being second place to another animal, and I feel that in my house of many pets, he's always feeling that way. Best for anyone looking for a companion to do things with. He wants to go fishing and hiking and stuff, and will protect you with his life, no questions. He was overweight when I got him, but he can run and play now. Please feed him good quality food.
