Story
Arya (female, 8yo in August) is a pitbull (AmStaff/APBT mix). She is a seriously sweet girl who will spend all day on the couch with you if you let her. She loves cuddles, walks, rolling in the grass, and playing with her toys. She should go to a calm home that loves those things, too. She had a rough start to her life (we rescued her) so she has a hard time with small humans and other animals. Arya is highly trained, incredibly smart, and super affectionate. She deserves to live the rest of her life in comfort with a family that loves her just as much as we do (if not more)! We'll provide treats, her crate, toys, a bag of food, etc. We would also very much prefer to still be able to visit with her, if her new family is open to it! If you think Arya is a good fit for your family, please apply today!

Story
So my boy I cannot give him what he needs the attention exercise and patience to train. He is dog reactive and food reactive only when his bowl is full. I can hand feed him no problem. He’s a sweet heart loves to play and give hugs he just a bit scared I do my best to desensitize but I don’t have the energy or time and he needs and deserves to have better than what I’m currently giving he a chewer not on things around the house but his toys. his longest lasting toy is his kong he loves soft ones also but destroys those in a matter of days. He has seasonal allergies but 1 benedryl and 2 Claritin’s or Zyrtecs brings his scratching way down. I don’t want to shelter him because he will get scared and look aggressive and I believe they will put him down I just want to give him what he deserves because he really is a good boy. And if he got the right kind of training I know he would be great.

Story
Bo will be 4 years old on August 12, 2024. He has lots of energy and he’s also very sociable. He’s trained, and very well behaved. Loves giving hugs and being rubbed. Very loyal. I got him when he was 5 wks old from breeders. It was a 4th litter for the mother and she stop feeding the pups around the time I acquired him. I guess she was over it. He was bottle feed for a little while but soon after placed on soft food with puppy milk. He has regular monthly visits to be groomed and he’s up on all of his shots. Would love for him to be in a good home with a family. He loves kids and they too would adore him. If you are single and don’t travel as much as I do, he would make a good companion as well.

Story
Alex is a very sweet and active big baby. She’s just too active for what I can handle. I have small children including a baby that makes it tough to get on the same schedule with her to give her to exercise she needs. She’s good with kids and dogs. I would love for her to go to a family that have time for her to give her the care she needs and home with love she deserves. If you think you might be a good fit please reach out and we can set up a meeting. I don’t want a fee for her, she’s free. I just want to make sure she’s going to loving home .
