Story
We had Axel since he was a baby and has grown up with our two children. He is an amazing dog and is well trained in the house. Outside he likes to sit in the sun and will occasionally bark if he hears noises, he is not familiar with but is easily redirected. At first, he barks if he doesn't recognize anyone and will immediately come up to sniff and look for someone to pet him. He is gently and loves to play and has not shown any aggression or even hinted at biting anyone. We hate to be in this position but unfortunately work is taking us across the country and we are unable to take Axel with us.

Story
Hi my name is Erika, I have a pretty girl pitbull that was given to me by another person that couldn't take care of her. I have been taking care of her about 5 months now and she is really a sweet dog and lovable. Ralo is really good with my 4 children ages from 7-12 yrs old. Ralo is a very good protective dog and very smart. I have been spoiling her with table food and dog food. She loves treats and walks and the outside sitting in the grass. Ralo does bite on things due to teething I believing I'm not 💯 percent sure but she has toys. Ralo really needs that right family/person that really loves dog to have her. And have a safe environment and a big space for her to play and be herself. If u any other questions just ask .. Thank you so much for taking the time to see Ralo . And she really needs a great home 🏡

Story
Marty is a very good boy who wants attention and cuddles. He grew up in a single dog home until his owner was unable to care for him due to the owners health issues. Marty, however, is a super healthy boy who gets along with most dogs and loves to play with stuffed animal toys. He’s very kind and gentle on walks with our more senior members of the family. He’s very friendly with new people, and just wants a family that he can hangout on the couch with all day long. Marty is about 6 years old.

Story
Lucky is a 5-year-old dog. His first year was spent in a neglectful home where he wasn't house-trained, fed a proper diet, or well cared for. We adopted him at about 1 year old. Since then, he has had mild gastrointestinal issues and chronic constipation. We've tried pumpkin supplements, probiotics, and specialized food, but he's very picky. He should have a full veterinary exam to rule out any underlying issues. Lucky has had two known seizures, which we believe were triggered by choking on an oversized bully stick and losing oxygen while trying to vomit. He has not had a veterinary evaluation for the seizures but has been seizure-free for the past two years. He also becomes aggressive during nail trims, making them very difficult. He has had a few isolated episodes of aggression after being bumped into, possibly related to painful anal glands. Lucky lives in a home with a 6 and 9 year old children and has never bitten a child, but we are cautious. We are rehoming him due to financial
