Ozzy Jameson

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

District Heights, MD

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ozzy is truly the sweetest big baby on earth. He loves to be outdoors and play tug. He went through a 3 week boarding school at Premier Dog Training as a puppy (1 year) to help with minor food aggression. Since then he hasn’t had any serious issues with food and stops and waits on command. He does not see himself as a big dog but a tiny baby who loves to be held, cuddled and babied. He has minimal experience around other dogs and small children. We unfortunately just do not have the time to give him the love and attention he really deserves. Ozzy comes with a month supply of food and other care and grooming items we have for him.

He has met other dogs before to loud but not aggressive reactions, hand he loves to chew on his toys and he loves walks and games of chase and fetch. Our family just wasnt home enough to keep him permanently and we want him to be happy, so if your a loving family that wants a ready to be trained German Shepard with a heart of gold, meet Rocco!

Story

Walnut is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Hello World! My name is Walnut, and I'm a sweet and loving puppy with a big heart and a sunny smile. I'm a petite little girl who you can take on all kinds of adventures. I'm good with every single person and almost every dog I've met so far (many of both!), and despite a close call in an overcrowded shelter, I'm ready to find my new forever person and curl into a small, precious donut in their lap. If going to a brewery or taking a long walk is more your speed, I'd love to do that with you, too. Basically I just want to be with you, giving you love and being loved back. When I come out of my crate in the morning I always ask for a hug and a few minutes of cuddles before I go outside and I'd like to find the person who can give me morning hugs every day for the rest of my life. Could you be my person?? ATTRIBUTES: Walnut has lived with dogs and kids. -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 3 mos

Washington, DC

Size

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Shiloh is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Shiloh is new to Laila's and is settling in beautifully in her foster home! She is a quiet house guest, who is housebroken and crate trained. She loves to meet people and snuggle up on the couch too. Shiloh is also very dog friendly with lots of wiggles, tail wags, and loose body language. She would love opportunities to play with dogs! Like many pups that find their way into shelters, Shiloh is lacking in some manners that she is working on and will be readily addressed with some basic training. Due to her enthusiasm for both dogs and people, she has a couple of bad habits! With people, she jumps up at them and with doggos, she pulls on leash when she sees other dogs, eager to say 'hi'. Common problems and for a young, happy girl, not too surprising! Shiloh is a sweet girl t hat will fit into a variety of homes! ATTRIBUTES: Shiloh has done well with other dogs. -------------- Laila's Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.
