Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Raya was found in May of this year. She was outside an apartment building that had recently been vacated. She was emaciated and frightened. She is now approximately 1 year old. She is an "original" pit bull and very athletic. She is spayed, all shots, and heartworm negative. She is house trained and crate trained. She would do best with an owner who will train her and give her lots of exercise. She loves to run. She is extremely energetic and is still very much a puppy. She would do well with agility training. She would do best in a home without cats and as an only dog or with a male dog. She is playful and very affectionate. Raya loves companionship. She needs love and training to help her grow to be her best self.

Story
I adopted Teddy when he turned 5 while I was working at an animal shelter in Illinois. He is almost 13 now and he is an amazing dog! It's been mainly me him and my cat that I also adopted around that time up until recent. We now have two small children which Teddy is great with, he's always loved kids and been good with other animals. Our dilemma is that he is very attached to me and since Covid we've been together non-stop, he spends most of his day whining in our kitchen at the moment. We let him out in the backyard as much as he wants which he enjoys but I do think he would benefit living with another dog that he can play with since our one-on-one time has dwindled over the last few years. He is in good health and is the best couch potato, I would love to see him back to his normal happy go lucky self and bring joy to someone's household.

Story
We immediately fell in love with Henry when we met him when he was 10 weeks old. He is now 2 1/2 and is a beautiful and loyal dog. He does need some training when he is walking and encounters other dogs. Other than that, he is a wonderful family member. We have been displaced due to the tornado, and life has been very challenging. There is no way we can care for him since we currently don’t have a home. Yes, he is spoiled. Yes, he is loved. He just needs space to run and wants to interact with people and other dogs. We love him dearly, and this is a very decision to make. All we want is for him to be in a home where he is loved and gets attention and has the ability to exercise and run.

Was given as a Christmas gift I never wanted. I’ve trained, traveled, and taken great care of both Zack (black) and Cody (Brown). They are 3 years old. They come from the same mother and father in Indiana. They have never lived apart from each other. They weigh about 45 pounds, love walks, fetch and tug of war. Filled with so much energy. A great set of young dogs ready to play in a nice backyard and cuddle and snore at night.
