American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 1 mo

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Indigo, a sweet, slightly shy senior pittie who enjoys naps, calm companionship, and being close to her people. She`s an easygoing, affectionate dog who would do best in a quiet, low-key home. Indigo has a few manageable medical needs and will need a future knee surgery, but she`s otherwise a gentle, content companion. She could live with a respectful dog who understands her shy tendencies, would do best in a cat-free home, and is looking for humans who can practice calm, considerate interactions. If you`re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who`s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.

Story
Meet Kuva, a sweet and dainty pittie who is looking for a new home! This lovely senior pup lived with another dog in the previous home, and can be a little worried with big changes like meeting new people or dogs, so she`s love to go to a lower-traffic home. Once Kuva settles in, her personality starts to shine - she loves sniffy walks and rolling around in the leaves! Kuva loves to snuggle with the people in her inner circle, and she’s playful and silly once she’s comfortable. If you were interested in learning more about Kuva, come on down to chat with staff to see if she`s the one for you! Kuva says no thank you to living with cats, please!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Say hey to Harrison, a handsome senior min pin mix looking for his new home! Harrison is a conoisseur of all things cozy: snoozing on the couch, sampling a few snacks, or going on sniffy walks out in the world. As an older gentleman, Harrison is looking to head to a lower-traffic home where he can live out his golden years in comfort and style - if there are children in the home, they should be ready to help practice petting consent, and give him space when he needs to sneak in a nap or two. Harrison lived with another dog in the previous home, and could go home with a mellow dog companion, or potentially a dog-savvy cat, with a slow introduction.Harrison is currently on medication to manage his hypothyroidism, which is when his body isn`t producing enough of the thyroid hormone on its own. Adopters should plan to check in with their vet to establish ongoing care to help this kiddo feel his best - staff can tell you more about his current plan!

Story
Don`t let her age fool you, Pixie`s got all of the energy and curiosity of her namesake! This sweet older pup loves to hit the trails for a nice, sniffy walk, and loves to explore the great outdoors. She`s a snack connoisseur, and would love to continue her training using positive reinforcement methods! Pixie lived with cats in her previous home, and may be able to go home with a cat friend or two with a slow intro, but she says no thank you to living with other dogs, please! She can be worried when meeting new people, so she`d like to go to a lower-traffic home, but once she`s warmed up, Pixie is sure to add a little sparkle to your life.

Story
Bailey is a charming 7 year old sheepdog looking for a new home! This laid-back guy is all about the slow strolls and cozy naps, making him the perfect companion for a relaxed household. Though he`s a bit of a couch potato, he`s also incredibly sweet and gentle. Bailey does have some health issues that come with his age, but he`s still got a lot of love to give! He`d love to go home with adopters that are excited to help this sweet guy continue working on some of his manners, like asking politely when he wants attention instead of barking. He might be able to live with a mellow cat or dog companion with a slow introduction.
