Story
Gibbs is a 5 year old pit mix that loves to play. He is Skittish with strangers and takes a little time to warm up, and prefers women, but does good with men. He is Crate and house trained, with several other commands mixed in. He needs a yard to run and play in. He is good with younger kids but warms up to most children quickly. Crazy smart, spunky, and a playful goof. He loves to talk, and the idea of fetch, but is still learning to give the ball back. Gets along with puppies, but is unsure of other adult dogs, but usually does okay if there is a boundary and the other dogs don't come up to fast. He Enjoys car rides, and does really good, he even knows how to roll the window down. He enjoys tummy scratches, side pats, a good cuddle, and thinks hes lap dog. When playing, he likes to be close to his person. He will smile when nervous and enjoys giving love nibbles to his person. He is food driven, with food allergies. Can be UTD on shots and neutered before going to a new home

Story
This beauty is looking to be rehomed to a kind and loving family. She is a 3.5 year old that was rescued by us at 6 months old. Since then we had a baby and too much for younger child. She is: Loving Likes cats Crate trained Potty trained 60 pounds est Social High energy New home needs: Adults/older teen only (no younger kids in home) No other dogs (food aggression with other dogs) Needs daily attention as she loves to interact with people. She is typically indoors and at potty time is put on a hooked run at home. This is a super hard decision make for us as they love her and when we called a rescue place they told them to put her down. This pup will be good in the right home and deserves a chance to find the right place.

Story
We have had Benelli since he was a puppy! He was our typical, energized pit! He grew up around an older pit mix (now 7 years old) & a tabby cat (now 6 years old). He is now about 3.5 years old. He is friendly to people & follows around our toddler. He loves cuddles & treats. Unfortunately, we have a behavioral issue where he does not like other dogs that come in front of our house & has gone after another dog. We are no longer able to keep him since this is the second similar incident. He has done great with our older dog and cat. But I think it’d be best he is the only dog in the home for safety as well as a fenced in yard. Over all, he loves pets & it breaks our heart to let him go. We are hoping to find him a loving home!!

Story
Poe is an incredibly handsome, fun, happy boy. He is a really nice dog who found himself looking for a new home.Poe is a 4 year old boxer cross. He does well with other dogs of all sizes. He has done well with the cats in his foster home, but it was reported that he did not do well with them in his previous home. He is really sweet with the humans he meets and he has been a total gentleman to the 3 kids in his foster family (12,10,& 3). He is wonderful in the house and crates beautifully. Poe's ideal family is an active one that will include him in all the festivities. He loves to run with his foster dad and would make a great training buddy! He would also make a stellar obedience or agility companion. He has a great drive and good work ethic.Poe is going to bring such joy to his new family!Poe has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has also tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $300.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you would like to learn more about and meet this great boy!

Story
Meet Cotton Candy! Meet the sweetest, funniest, goofiest boy around. Cotton is a little over a year old and full of Aussie energy. Cotton is looking for a family that has a great sense of humor and an understanding of the needs of this fun breed.Cotton is a double merle as is evident by his fluffy, white coat. It also can impact vision and hearing. In Cotton's case he is completely deaf but does have some vision- mainly shadows. But this has ZERO effect on this boy and the wonderful life he will live!Cotton loves playing with other dogs and is generally fantastic with them- he is still a young, male Aussie that can't always read other dog's signals. Occasionally, he irks his companions but he's a quick study and rarely repeats a misstep. He has been as respectful as he's able to with the resident cats. Cotton loves all humans he meets- big and small!Cotton is a good boy in his crate and has (knocks on wood) figured out house training like a champ. Cotton loves to go for runs with his foster dad and is great at it. He'd be a wonderful training companion. Cotton is an active boy and needs to keep his brain and body busy. He's smart and willing. Training him is a joy!Cotton is looking for a family that will encourage, train and help him continue to live a wonderfully full life. Herding dog knowledge is helpful but not necessary if you are willing and able to provide him the stimulation he needs. He does need another, welcoming dog in his new home. The give him a familiar, easy way to learn his new environment.Cotton will be endless laughs and the occasional head shake for his new family. They will truly be the lucky ones!So cute! Super cute!Cotton has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has also tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $450.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you have questions about Cotton or would like to meet him.
