Story

Ziva is a grey pocket pitbull, one year of age. She loves walks, belly rubs, and curling up next to you after a fun day of play. She’s the perfect mix of playful, investigative and goofy and prefers to be the only dog in the household. Ziva is currently in a foster home with two dog sisters while under full management of her foster mom. Ziva has completed basic obedience training with Elite K911 and also attends their pack walks with obedience refreshers. She has completed a four week Board and Train at Boss K9 including pinch and e-collar trained. She's house-trained and knows basic obedience commands. She also knows bed stay for long periods of time, commands “leave it, out, heal” along with stop and sit on walks and walking in heel position without a leash. She loves to show off all of her tricks, especially for treats!! She is crate trained and does not mind spending time in her crate while her foster parents are at work and sleeps in her crate at night. She gets along great with older kids and visitors in the home. She has traveled from Ohio to Tennessee by car for vacation without incident. She also loves attending family sporting events-she will be your biggest fan! Ziva has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right person or family to call her own. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this amazing pup, Ziva is ready to fill it with joy!

Story

Meet Maggie, aka Maggie may, Mag Pie, or Waggy Maggie. She is a 4 yr old American bulldog mix (maybe some boxer in her?) with the biggest heart for humans and naps. She is a fan of her morning and evening walks, cuddle time with her humans, and play time with fetch or tug o war. She is great on a leash, off leash in the yard, or in the car where she enjoys taking in all of the scenery. Maggie may do best in a home where she gets all the love and attention.

Story

🚨New Pup Alert 🚨 Meet Wagyu! She’s our big baby. Our big Bertha. 3-years young, Wagyu Ragu is sweet and social. She loves the outdoors minus water 💦 She loves laying on the back porch and soaking up the sun. Wagyu is great in the crate and potty trained. She loves toys and congregating them all into an OCD pile. She’s got spurts of energy but is a lazy couch potato when you’re sitting in the couch. She loves to cuddle and would prefer to be right up under your arm during a movie night. She loves women and kids and adores men. She’s pretty solid, and weighing in at about 85lbs she’s a hefty gal to scoop into the car. She’s up for an adenture though and we know there’s someone out there ready to give her one!
