Story
Stout was found and rescued at around 4 months old and is currently about 7-1/2 months old. We took care of him and hoped to keep him with our family but it hasn't worked out. He is current on all shots and has a clean bill of health, crate trained, house trained, and sleeps throughout the night. We have started training him and he's shows he is trainable and has a lot of potential but unfortunately he does not get along with our other established older dog (12 y/o corgi). He has a lot of energy, loves walks, attention, and is very loving to people. He is very food motivated and treats work well for training. He will likely do best as the only dog in the home.

Story
Nala is a sweet and loving 5-year-old pit bull who has always been an indoor dog. She is affectionate, playful, loyal, and loves being around people. I’m looking for a safe, loving home where she can continue to live indoors, receive plenty of attention, and be treated as part of the family. My main priority is finding someone who will truly love and care for her.

Story
Kobe is an amazing 10m old pup whom i adopted when he was three months old. He is still intact due to his age and being a larger breed (removed due to tag saying has to be neutered within 30 days, not possible with age) but he is an extremely smart boy. He loves to go in hikes and walks, and is such a love bug with me and my children. He is crate-trained (now free roams when we’re gone), knows all basic command, is house-trained, and his favorite snack are sweet potato chews! He also knows fun tricks like “wait” and “sit pretty”. To who is new family, he will also come with a slip-lead, harness, leash and collar, food/water bowl with stand, and food for a month. My only ask is that he will have an amazing life, with people who love him and have more time than I could give him.
