Blaire

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Brookline, MO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Sweet, mellow tempered dog who loves to play. She will play rough with other dogs but is not aggressive. Loves to run. She loves cuddles and will want to sleep on your bed with you. If you don't have round handles on your doors you will need something to keep your bedroom door shut, otherwise she opens the door, pulls back your blanket and sheets and will sleep on your pillows. Responsive to her name, nicknames, commands, and cues. She understands not to pass the yellow grids on the sidewalk and will go when you say "cross" and stop at "wait". She pulls the leash but has gotten better. I have little time for her, which has caused her to take special interest in the sliding glass door where she'll bark at neighbors passing by. When we go on our daily walk she has a lot of energy, so she pulls, wants to smell everything, and does zoomies in the small dog park. I would like for her to have a yard to play in. She's not sensitive to the cold, but will need coconut oil for her dry skin.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pepper is the sweetest pup ever. Super affectionate and gentle. She loves kids and the elderly (and people in general) and will protect the home. She loves to lay in the sun and will do anything for food. She can sit, stay, wave, shake, and keep a treat on her paw til you tell her to "get it". She is fully house trained and does great indoors and out. Our family is experiencing some very challenging health issues requiring us to travel. Pepper is needing a more stable routine and cannot travel with us. Looking for a family that wants a companion. She does especially well with kids who want a pet to give all their love to. She is the sweetest dog and will be your very best friend. Have listed an adoption fee, but if you think Pepper is a good fit for your family, we would be willing to wave it. Just want the right home for our beloved dog. She deserves a good life.

Rottweiler

Story
Scout came to us from an AKC registered breeder. She is 3 years old. She has a joyful, playful demeanor and is great with people, especially kids. We are looking to rehome Scout because she does not play well with cats or chickens, and we have several of both. Also as our children are getting older we have more obligations, leaving less time to devote to Scout. We are looking for a home to provide her with loving attention. She is content with a good belly rub and simply spending time with her.

Rose was born 6/6/18. Her mom is a full blooded chocolate lab and her dad is a Great Pyrenees. She has always been an outdoor dog staying within the fence of our 4 acres. She loves people of all ages. She loves dogs of all sizes. She has never been around a cat but knowing her sweet and loving personality she will do well with them. We are moving from our land into a small rental and unfortunately I no longer have room for Rose. She has been healthy and required no sick visits to a vet.
