Story
He is a great dog and loves to come sit on your lap for pets! He loves playing fetch and tug of war (he always wins!). He'll take you for leisurely walks around the neighborhood. He is very protective of his people and would thrive in a calm home. He has been good with all of our kids, we have 7, but doesn't get along with cats or other dogs.Was found in the winter. He has been a great addition to our home just unfortunately our family is a bit to chaotic. We have 2 special needs kids and he is not dealing well with extreme emotional outbursts, and the oxygen machine. He is noise sensitive and sensitive to emotional outbursts.

Story
She was dumped at the dog park by my work And the county shelter would not pick her up. I ended up getting her out of the cold with the intentions of a foster keeping her, but the person backed out so now she is in my house with my three shepherds, not getting the attention she deserves. I found an amazing organization that got her spayed, chipped and vaccinated with proof and now she is ready to find her furever home. She is good with other dogs just like to play. Please don't over look this sweet young pitbull she is well mannered after getting settled in.

Story
Hershey is about a year and a half old and has been in foster care a majority of the time. She was taken home by someone and severely mistreated before being returned, so she has trust issues. She’s not a fan right away to men, but once she gets to know you and gets comfortable she is a sweetheart. She has been staying with a family that has a young, special needs child and another dog for a few months. She is going to need someone who has plenty of time and patience to work with her. She is house broken, and crate trained for night and when the family is not home.
