Story
Cosmo is about 1 year and 9 months old. He loves people and cuddles. He's amazing with kids (has lived with a 5 and 11 yr old for the past year). He's loves a good chewy toy and treats. He knows commands like sit, stay, give paw and roll. He likes to jump when he first meets someone, but just to hug. We originally got him from a shelter last summer. He is definitely a people person but doesn't seem to do so well around other dogs. Unfortunately have not socialized him with other animal's so at this point I would not recommend him to a family with other animals unless your very good with training. Overall he is a very loyal and loving Dog with lots of puppy left in him. His kennel, training collar with remote, and all extra belongings would be included.

Story
Chloe is a 9 month doodle mix who weighs 37 pounds. She is fully vaccinated, healthy and scheduled for a spay. She is the perfect dog for you if you are looking for a 24/7 companion for yourself NOT your other dog. She is friendly with other dogs but it is YOU she wants to spend her days with. YOU are the one she wants to play with, walk with. A Velcro dog. She will body block the door if she thinks you are leaving. When you return she will act like you’ve been gone for days and it’s the only time she gets jumpy and mouthy. We are working on that but it’s due to her separation anxiety which is understandable. Crating her is not an option , very stressful for her. Her next home must be her FOREVER home with a family that is sensitive to what she’s been through. Our wish for Chloe is a home where someone is mostly home, retired, a stay home parent or a remote worker. We would like to make her dreams come true but she is also a DREAM DOG. So gentle and sweet, silly and comical, she gives the best bear hugs. She’s house trained, not destructive, walks quite well on leash, travels great in a car. Barks to alert but not excessive. We rescued this sweet girl from an emergency clinic. Her 2nd owner brought her in demanding her to be euthanized for 3 weeks of untreated diarrhea. She was only with this owner about a month. Once he agreed to surrender Chloe we took ownership of Chloe and her medical bills. She had a full work up and she is healthy with no evidence of diarrhea or anything else. The back story is that her first owner was forced to rehome Chloe after the landlord learned of her, no pets allowed. Chloe’s been introduced to children in a supervised setting and seems very comfortable with them. She gently said hello and was good with them petting her. She appears to like children. Chloe is going to make an AMAZING addition to a very lucky family. Please complete an application on our website if you think you might be a good fit for Chloe and interested in adopting her. We ask that you allow 72 hours for a response.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, senior

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Thor is a good dog. He is house trained and always comes when you call him. He just really needs a good home with family that can give him as much time, love and attention. He is a very sensitive dog. He not a fan of thunderstorms, fireworks and does not like small animals. He's also is sensitive about his feet. I have to take him to the vet to have his toes trimmed and they have to put him under sedation and it is not cheap so it's not done very often. I recently started traveling for work and I just can't give him the time and attention he needs...... if you you have a large fenced in area that would be great, cause walking him is not fun due to him not liking other animals.

Story
Say hello to Ace!He is a 4 year old Pit Bull mix who weighs about 55 pounds. Ace is hoping for a human to spend his time with, but he's not looking to rush into anything. He can be a little timid when it comes to new people, but once he went to his foster home he blossomed very quickly and became an oversized lap dog! Once he knows you, he's your new best friend and loves to spend time cuddled up on the couch. Ace likes to play with toys and especially enjoys tug of war! Most of all, Ace enjoys the simple pleasure of a long afternoon nap on the couch, especially if you're by his side. He does well with most dogs and would love to have a four legged friend in his forever home! Due to his initial shyness, if Ace's forever home had children in it, they would need to be ages 13 and up. Ace is a goofy and loving boy who can't wait to find his new best friend!If Ace sounds like your new partner in crime, give us a call at 234-212-9843 to learn more about him and schedule an appointment to come in and meet!
