Story
Jade was found with her mom and little sister. Her mom was very friendly, but Jade and her sister Diamond were very fearful. She has been in the pound since August and has done wonderfully, although still a little timid. But she is very affectionate, loves pets and attention. Jade Adores other dogs, especially males. She is a good dog, but she will need time to adjust to new surroundings. the more socialization she can have, the better. She would be a good dog for an individual. I am not sure how she would do with kids. But she would thrive with some love and attention. please contact me via email. I am in and out of my office so that is the best way to communicate.

Story
Sadie is a sweet and loveable girl. She is approx. 3-4 yrs old and weighs about 45-50 lbs, short and stout. Sadie loves to play tug of war, she usually wins. She especially loves squeaky toys. The squeakers are her favorite. Its great fun to Rip those squeakers out! She's a power chewer and mouthy at play, she loves a good bully stick. She is able to play with a companion, but is also able to quietly entertain herself. Sadie will grab your sleeve when she wants attention, this usually means pet me or lets wrestle! She seems good with other dogs, but wants to be alpha with other females. I have not cat tested her, but its a safe bet she wouldn't be good with cats. But it is always possible she would be fine. She is pretty good on a leash and enjoys a nice walk. Sadie is crate trained and housebroken. Upon adoption, she will come with a spay certificate to be used locally. This covers the cost of the required spay. Please email for an application, this darling girl is ready to go home! ****Please check ordinances pertaining to Pitbull ownership in your city before inquiring. Just to save on the disappointment.

Story
This handsome hunk is Deeks. If you love the breed, this is your baby. This strapping young man is only about a year old. He has lived his life inside and is potty trained. Deeks knows a few basic commands. He really has the nicest coat. He looks like a black and white pittie. But get him in the sun and he turns brown, lol. This big, sweet lover is eager to please and a very happy fellow. He was raised inside a home and is potty trained and has good house manners. He adores children as he has grown up with two. He is not good with cats though, its just too much fun to chase them. He got in trouble for chasing the neighbors cattle. So he may not be the best farm boy there ever was. He is better suited for city life. But he sure misses having a family. When adopted, Deeks will come with a neuter certificate that covers all the cost. He will also have his rabies vaccination, wormed and a preventative as well. If you are interested in meeting this sweet lug, please email for an application. He really is the Best Boy, dont miss out! **Please check ordinances pertaining to Pitbull ownership in your city before inquiring. Just to save on the disappointment.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sydney's dad passed away leaving her all alone. She need a new person to love now. Sydney is house trained and friendly with other dogs. It was just her and her dad, but she gets along with other dogs just fine. she loves going for walks and knows exactly what a leash is for. Her dad must have fed her table scraps because she is right there putting on her prettiest begging face at dinner time. This little girl is an absolute doll and will make a wonderful companion. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. It is unknown how she is with kids, but she would be fine with older respectful kids, young ones may confuse her as it was just her and her dad in the home. She is a quiet little thing rarely barking so she would do alright with apartment living with daily walks. If you are interested in adopting this little sweetie pie, please email for an application.
