Story
Sid was bought from a pit bull breeder that specializes in large blue and red pits and was raised with kids and other dogs. He is 3 years old and is nuetered. He is a very strong and stubborn dog but very loving. It is not that he is bad with kids per sey, but he plays rough and can nip while playing. When he gets riled up, when playing or whatever, he barks and has aggressive type of movements even though he is playing and his tail is waging. This behavior is scary towards a young person so the suggestion is that he goes to home where it is just adults. He does listen, he can be off leash and will not run or anythjing like that. Likes to play and chews his toys a lot.

Story
Chloe is an energetic terrier mix. She is great around adults, not ideal for homes with small children. If you are willing to give her a home, we will provide you with everything we have for her (food, treats, crate, toys, leash). Chloe has been great to have in our family but we now have small children to tend for and cannot keep her for that reason. If you are willing to rehome Chloe we can set up a meet up, also please note you would have to be willing to sign for rights for Chloe from the shelter we got her from. She loves to play and is super friendly and loves to be pet! She is really a great dog but just needs a different setting! She is potty trained and can do a few commands as well!

Story
Bishop is an ABSOLUTLEY amazing companion, it is with a heavy heart and a lot of thinking, id like to rehome him to someone with more time and experience. He is a big beautiful mush very friendly with adults, unknown with how he does with children since he has never been around any. He will come with a ton of treats, a kennel, standing food and water bowl, his current food (dry and canned) toys and his vaccine papers. I will also provide a list of everything that he loves or needs help with. He is a full bred GS (i dont have his papers because his breeder wanted insane money for them and i didnt plan on breeding him). He currently lives with just myself 25yr old male no kids moderately active. his energy is very chill, but when i rowl him up or take him hiking or running he shows his true colors. I can tell you all about him if you reach out to me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx . I wont be overly intrusive but i will respectfully ensure he goes to a loving owner.

Story
Maverick is a wonderful dog, just 1 year old. He is very sweet, a great watch dog, smart, knows many commands (sit, stay, come, paw, roll over). He is super with kids and our cat. But he needs a home where someone is home more than we can be. We work long hours and he gets separation anxiety, so with a heavy heart we are looking for a better fit so be can have a better life.

Story
Her name is Adrian she is very sweet lovable dog. She is 3 years old and very loyal. She loves to cuddle and very affectionate. She does have lots of energy. She has training. My mother has passed and have to relocate and unfortunately I can’t take her with me. Her birthday is February 14. Very sad about it. Once you get to know her you will fall in love. I don’t want any fee or money, I just want her to have a healthy and happy home and be loved as much as she gets from me. Please I don’t have much time. And I need for her to get in a good home.
