Lovely dog she loves her person and will do anything for a ball. Loves to play fetch and will play all day if she could. I would need to take her on a walk at least once a day to get her energy out but due to work I travel 3 weeks at a time. Not fair for her.

Story
This is Ziggy, she is a 4 year old female blue heeler. I am looking to find her a new loving home because I am moving out of state and can't give her all the love and attention she needs. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. She is great with kids and is a great family dog. She loves chasing balls and likes to run. I am sad to rehome Ziggy, but hope to find a loving home for her.

American Pit Bull Terrier

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

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is my boy blue. He originally was rescued by me a little over 5 years ago when his previous owner lost her home to unfortunate circumstances. Blue came from a household full of kids and other animals. I learned alot while fostering him, and while he may be okay with other dogs/cats, he has a very playful side to him that some animals might not like so much (including cats), so preferably he is probably best to be placed in a home where he is the center of all the attention. He is a very thick dog, very powerful, but will also give you all the lovings and attention you could ever ask for. He is fixed, and roughly around 7 years old. He loves a good snowball fight, or even a summer time swim or playing in the sprinkler. (it's honestly so cute). He has always been a good boy and he is very protective of his family, but likes to show you how big of a bark he has when other animals or people pass by. Blue has been looking for a forever home and we're hoping to find the perfect fit!

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Story
Eleanor Roosevelt and CJ (Cami Junior) joined our family in the fall of 2022. They have a backyard to play in with a fence; they are littermates (sisters) and we love them very much. Our jobs are changing and we are not able to keep them any longer due to our new schedules. :( We do not want a fee for our pets, but please do not let them fall into the hands of dog fighting groups. It would break my hear. They sleep with me at night for a few hours and then sleep in their cage the rest of the night. They also stay in their cage while we are not home. They each weigh just over 50 pounds. CJ would be ok on oher own, but Ellie would be lost without CJ. I hope you can adopt them both.

Harper

Boxer American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Somerset Center, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Harper is a sweetheart and loves to cuddle and borrow underneath the covers with you. She loves to swim and play, but we believe that she needs to go to a home with someone who is experienced with bully breeds. We have a five year-old male German Shepherd, and they will play and get along great most of the time, but there have been instances where Harper will show random aggression. We are not sure what is triggering this and we don’t understand why it’s happening. We have a toddler at home and can no longer have Harper in our house. We believe that she would be a great dog if she was given the proper training and if she was with someone who could give her that training and attention she needs.
