Story
Poppy came in with her brother and they are both very shy dogs but with time and patience they are starting to come out of their shells. We have separated them and seen huge changes in their personalities. We do recommend a home with another dog her size to help her continue building her confidence. Poppy LOVES water and acts like a young dog around it. If interested in meeting/adopting Poppy please go to www.pittfriends.com to submit an application.

Wrigley is a sweet and funny dog that loves his people! He enjoys snuggling, chewing on bones, and laying in the sunshine. Wrigley would thrive in a home where he is the only pet and a home that does not have children, though he is fine around teenagers. He is house-trained and very obedient. He loves to please his people and thrives off of positive energy and love. If interested in meeting/adopting Wrigley please go to www.pittfriends.com to submit an application.

Story
Everyone meet Togo, the best dancer you’ll ever meet! Togo is about 6 months old (estimated) and has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia which affects his balance and coordination. Togo is in no pain and his condition will not affect his quality of life. He is the happiest and sweetest boy, he likes to talk back like huskies do, he enjoys playing with his foster siblings and LOVES being outside. Togo does great in his crate during the day too! Togo needs someone who is loving, patient, and will be understanding of his condition. He’s a cuddler and enjoys snuggling up with you at the end of the day for some kisses. He would do best in a house that has carpet as it is harder for him to walk on slick surfaces. If you are looking for a new best friend and dance partner Togo might be your boy! You can fill out an application for Togo at pittfriends.com
