Story

***SPONSORED ADOPTION FEE - YOU PAY NOTHING***Meet Beluga!This handsome guy is just a big, giant baby looking for love.Beluga is just over a year old, weighs about 70lbs...and he's very, very deaf. The world is a scary place when you're a big, giant baby and can't hear what's coming or going on around you. And honestly?You won't meet a sweeter guy.Beluga is a mild-mannered boy. He's a little bit of a scaredy-cat which is understandable because he can't hear what's going on around him. If he's approached from behind and doesn't see you coming, he'll practically leap out of his own skin. He's a little bit shy with strangers because he doesn't know what to expect from them but it doesn't take him much to warm up at all and then he's a big dopey lover boy.While Beluga does do well with other dogs, you need to take into consideration that he's deaf. If he does not see or smell another dog coming and he's approached too quickly, there is ALWAYS the chance that his fear will make him snap/nip out of self defense. If he knows the other dog is there? He's super excited! All he wants to do is play with them and bounce around like a goober! We would prefer a home without cats, not because he's aggressive towards them, but because they are much more likely to sneak up on him and scare the ever-loving hell out of him. Kids 12+ for essentially the same reasons.Beluga has been doing well learning hand signals for his cues, does well on a leash, and is remarkably mild-mannered for a young pit bull mix of his size!Since he is a restricted breed, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.

Story

How is Nadja still available?!She's gorgeous, she's smart, she's social, and she's a big goofball!Nadja is only two years old and she's under 40lbs. She is full grown so won't be getting any bigger unless she fills out a tiny bit more. Nadja can be a teeny bit shy at first but it doesn't take her long at all to warm up to new people and then she's just a Goober Supreme. She's SUPER playful and loves toys, loves zooming around, and loves hanging out outside. This girl is brains, beauty, AND personality - she absolutely loves being with people!Like a typical husky, Nadja has opinions. More often than not, they are loud opinions. You WILL listen to these opinions one way or another. She's got some excellent leash manners but can go from 0-100 real quick if she sees something that she wants to investigate. She's just excited about life and everything is super interesting! She is selective with what dogs she likes and there really doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who she vibes with and who she doesn't. Her brother did use to bully her a little bit so we're sure that contributes to it but she doesn't seem to prefer male vs female, size, etc. She's truly just picky. She would likely do fine with dog-savvy cats as she heard a cat growl and skedaddled out of the room. Kids 10+ though exceptions may be made for the right family with experience.Nadja is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and negative for heartworm/lyme/anaplasmosis/ehrlichia.

Story

Meet ChiChi!If you have a hole in your life that is suspiciously pocket-sized diva shaped, look no further. ChiChi will be more than happy to wiggle her way into it.ChiChi is a little over three years old and she weighs about 35lbs. She is definitely smaller and stockier than you think she is. Despite being built like a linebacker that eats nails for breakfast, ChiChi is a spoiled princess. Like, put her in a tutu and a crown because those are the vibes she gives off.This girl isn't terrible on a leash but she can be a little pully and look at those shoulders - she's strong like bull. She isn't going to yank your arm out of the socket but she wouldn't be a good fit for someone not steady on their feet. ChiChi does not entertain the idea of "strangers". Strangers are just untapped sources of attention that she has to bless with her presence. Her typical greeting is "wiggle at". ChiChi does not like cats. Similarly, she most likely would not do well with dogs that are much smaller than her. Dogs that are close in size or larger than her? Totally fine. She'll hop into a playbow and burst into zoomies and do her best impersonation of a wrecking ball. Kids 10+ because she can be a little much in a "love you so hard you might get knocked over" kind of way.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download her application.

Story

Meet Pip!Pip is a good boy who is just overwhelmed by the world. He's still trying to figure out his place in it which can be difficult when you're in a brand new environment surrounded by unfamiliar people and other animals. There are a lot of new sounds and smells and when you're already a timid guy, it can be a lot.Pip is a young guy at about 18mo. We genuinely have no idea what breeds went into making this guy. He's about 26lbs and he is full grown - he's like a tall dachshund. There is also probably some hound in there as well. He is VERY barky at first so apartments/shared walls may not be the best environment for him.Pip will need someone patient. He so desperately wants to be loved but he lacks the confidence and the security to actively seek it out. As previously mentioned, he will BARK HIS HEAD OFF but then just suddenly sit next to you quietly. Once he's comfortable with you and once he trusts you, he is a big goof - he's eager to jump up on you and he's eager to show off his "sit"! He's actually pretty good on a leash, loves plush toys and tennis balls, and takes treats very gently - we love a boy with manners.He does do well with other dogs and a more confident, outgoing dog may help him build up some confidence of his own. Right now, he is absolutely terrified of cats - we will retest him when he's settled in a bit more to see if that sticks. We would prefer a home without kids or with older kids - he is nervous and sudden, quick movements can make him flinchy and jumpy.If you think you can be a safe place for Pip to build his confidence and REALLY bloom into the dog we know he can be, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application.
