Rosie

Minneapolis, MN

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rosie is a very sweet and loving dog. She just turned 5 years old this year. She loves people more than anything else and always wants to be by your side. She is very well trained and knows many tricks and commands. She has been raised around small kids and has been trained very specifically to be gentle with people even when playing. She is a very quiet dog and almost never barks. We live in a busy neighborhood so people and cars do not sppok her. However she does still exhibit a lot of energy when she meets new people (she cries/howls with excitement)! She does shed quite a lot in the spring and fall. She gets along well with other animals but has been the only pet in the household. She would often stay with my parents on weekends who had other dogs and cats. We absolutely love Rosie and wish we could keep her but we have another child on the way and are unable to give her the attention she needs and deserves. Rosie would make a very loving addition to someone's home.

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Jenny! She is a 5-yr old sweetheart American Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Recently had puppies then spayed very soon after. She was abandoned and found as a stray on the side of the road, then taken to Dallas Animal Shelters and spent 24 days there. We fostered her one day before she was scheduled to be put down. Jenny is in need of a permanent home, now in Minneapolis, MN by August 8th, 2026. She is very well-behaved, a certified lover, just wants to cuddle and give affection to her caregivers! She seems to prefer women, though does just fine with men as long as they don't come in too hot. She is non-reactive to other dogs, only barks at passersby in the neighborhood, though her bark is more high-pitched than you would expect, she's a lady! She loves to spend time in the sun, but doesn't need a whole lot of activity, she is fine to just get hugs and lay around. She is 100% a velvet hippo pitty (she is the softest!). Anyone who is willing to adopt her will just be the luckiest!!!!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Syd is a 6 to 7 month old Pitt bull puppy. we got Syd from a acquaintance who works in animal care. he is very friendly and very playful. They called him "Syd the sloth" because we was always laying down when calm. the Reason why I am rehoming Syd is because I have over estimated the maintenance for a puppy and due to my work schedule I can not take care of him. shots: rabies, lepto and Lyme still needs his boosters and is unfixed. he is good with other dogs and cats but when outside he becomes defensive. he has a tendency of eating and chewing things and should be monitored
