Story
Runner was found as a puppy on the side of the road dying with parvo. He was abandoned and all alone. I took him in and checked him in to the local vet for all shots and proper care and healing from the Parvo. Once all healed up, Runner and I became best friends. He came to work with me and became a great shop dog, frequent his favorite place the dog park and got all the snuggles and loving from him EVERY night and morning! Runner lived with just me for the first 2.5 years and did everything with me, he’s 3.5 now and for the past year he has been living with my fiance and I with 2 other dogs and 6 cats and chickens. He loves the kittens and the dogs but has recently was triggered and snapped at the kitten and injured him. A few months ago he also was startled and caught my 7 year old son’s cheek and drew some blood. I love this dog with all of my heart but he desperately needs the one on one love and care. He got his name because he loves to run! A lot! Sweetest loving guard dog mutt❤

Story
Cute loving dog that needs a lot of affection. I wouldn't say he's bad with kid just not super young kids. He is potty trained for the most part but will have accidents. He's about 4-5 years old. I recently had a baby and I don't have the time for him as I used to before. He's very sweet and can be attached, but he also just likes to do his own thing. He has been around many dogs and even big dogs. I'm very sad and I don't want to do this but he needs to be in a home that can be more attentive to him. Also would make me feel a lot better if I know he's going to a home that will love him as much as I do.

Yogi

American Staffordshire Terrier

Baton Rouge, LA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Yogi was rescued off the street about 4 1/2 years ago. He is approximately five years old. Yogi is playful, energetic, enjoys walks, and loves riding in the car, as well as accompanying trips to stores where he becomes the center of attention. He is a wonderful companion, and when he is ready to rest, he is a great cuddler. Yogi gets along wonderfully with people and has never shown any aggression towards people. Unfortunately, he needs re-homing due to recent instances with other dogs in his household. Although rare, it has occurred. We do not believe there is anything malicious in him, but his size makes this a potentially dangerous situation. Therefore, he cannot be placed in a home with other pets. Nevertheless, Yogi is a wonderful dog and would make a great single-pet companion for a person or family. He has had regular vet visits and is up-to-date on all shots. Yogi is smart, and while he has learned basic commands, he is highly trainable and eager to learn.

Story
My dog name is Knuckles. He's 2 years old. The sweetest dog I've ever owned. He's puppy pad trained if he confined to one area. He's loves outside but when ready to go in, He may disappear and you'll find him by the door. He's not a runner., meaning he won't leave the yard. He loves to put his harness on but he won't walk far. Maybe 2 houses down 😂 He loves to be rubbed as well. I got Knuckles from a friend who's a breeder. Very expensive dog. I'm looking for someone that can give him the time and attention he needs. Someone that has another dog and or kids. Knuckles is also on a fresh food diet. This can be discussed at a later time. If you are looking for a great dog., Knuckles is it.
