Coco

American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Adult

Troy, MI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Coco!!! Coco is a laid-back, lovable girl who knows exactly what she wants out of life — a cozy spot to curl up, someone to snuggle with, and a ball nearby just in case. Coco is a 60-pound lap dog that has mastered the art of relaxation and is ready to be your perfect couch potato. Coco is fully potty trained and does beautifully when left alone. She's content to nap in a bedroom with a chew treat and doesn't cause any trouble — no destructive behavior, no excessive barking, no separation anxiety. She'll casually drift toward the door when she needs to go out, sleeps in bed with her person, and is an absolute dream. Don't let anyone tell you low-energy dogs are boring, because Coco is proof that calm and charming go hand in hand. She's happy to take a leisurely walk, soak up some sun on the deck, or spend the afternoon snuggled up with you and her favorite ball. She'll make a few laps to grab a toy, but she's more of a "let's stay in and be cozy" kind of gal — hiking and running are not really her scene. Coco is independent but affectionate — she doesn't need constant attention, but she genuinely enjoys your company. She's confident, a little sassy, and not afraid to speak her mind. Literally. She will talk to you with a ball in her mouth, which is as adorable as it sounds! She completely ignores cats and has shown no signs of prey drive toward small animals. She hasn't spent much time around children but has shown no signs of aggression. Coco lives with multiple dogs and really enjoys their company. Coco just wants a soft place to land and someone to love her. She'll reward you with snuggles, silly ball-in-mouth conversations, and the kind of quiet, steady companionship that makes a house feel like home. *Approx. 5 years old *60 lbs. of LOVE *Spayed, UTD on vaccines and chipped *Dog & Cat Friendly *Potty Trained Adoption Fee $250 Apply here: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Story

Meet Una! Una is the kind of dog who effortlessly wins hearts wherever she goes. Una is so happy and has an incredibly loving personality, she’s the perfect balance of independent and affectionate. She enjoys her own space but absolutely adores being around her people—whether that’s lounging in her own bed or sneaking into yours for some extra snuggles. Una came to us after living life as a chained dog, alongside multiple other dogs who were surrendered together, including some of her puppies. When she arrived, she was heartworm positive and had clearly spent much of her life having litter after litter. Despite everything she’s been through, Una’s spirit has remained incredibly gentle and full of love. Now, it’s finally her turn to experience the safe, happy, and fulfilling life she truly deserves. This sweet girl is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, and she handles both like a pro. She’s calm in her crate, does great when left alone, and isn’t prone to barking or mischief. Una has a moderate energy level, making her a great fit for a variety of lifestyles. She loves activities like fetch, tug-of-war, and going for walks, and she’d happily join you for hikes or outdoor adventures. When playtime is over, she’s just as content to relax and unwind by your side. Una truly shines when meeting new people—she’s warm and welcoming to everyone she meets. She also gets along beautifully with other dogs and even cats! While she may chase smaller animals due to her natural prey drive, her gentle and affectionate temperament makes her an excellent companion for most homes. She’s been around children (including infants and toddlers) and has shown nothing but kindness and patience. Una has no history of aggression and is simply described as “the sweetest and most loving dog.” On leash, she’s still learning but is doing well and responds positively to guidance (especially when treats are involved!). She already knows “sit” and is eager to continue learning with her future family. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, and joyful companion who will bring warmth and love into your home, Una just might be your perfect match—and she’s more than ready for her happily ever after. Una is: Spayed UTD on vaccines, microchipped and fecal tested House trained, crate trained Loves dogs, kids and cats 66lbs 2 years old Apply here: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

My kids found the dog about two months ago. He was very skinny we got his weight up and have been working on potty training. He does good with it as long as he get out a lot. I’m not sure how old he is exactly but an animal control office told me he looks about 4 years old. I have 2 little dogs a female Chihuahua that he gets along with fine, but I also have a very energetic male frenchie that cannot leave the big guy alone. I have a 5 year old that he is very gentle with. I just don’t want to give him to the human society because they told me they would probably put him down. I really want to find someone that can give him a good home.
