Story
4 year old pitbull terrier. Very cute. He loves people but; he's nervous around strangers. He gets startled easily, and he hates being alone. He has been crate trained but prefers to be with people and his bed. He likes to eat cloth material, so he only plays with hard material toys like rubber rings or bones. He broke his shoulder once so he takes glucosamine for joint mobility. He gets lonely easily and gets along with cats really well. He would really enjoy a nice yard to run around in.

Story
She is very smart and youthful but due to our 3 year olds allergy needs we need to find a new home. (sudden full body hives rashes leading to a full house detox per dr orders, not food related) She is normally an inside dog and loves her cuddles and is trained to go to the door when she needs to pee. She is not very barky but likes to "talk" to us at times. She loves squeaky toys, but her favorite is a baby pacifier. While she will shred a stuffed animal, she will sleep with her pacy and keep it safe. She is leash trained and knows a few verbal and "sign"commands, but she is not always a polite house guest, sneaking a slice of pizza from the counter. She is hyper but has been gentle with our kids. The youngest hasn't been fully dog trained, but she doesn't mind if he pulls her paw or leans on her too much. She loves her walks and she loves to sit on her chair and chill. She believes she is a small lap dog and will beg for me to carry her, literally jumping in my arms.

Story
Tux is an approximately 6-8 year old mixed breed and is going to need a special home. Our guess is Boston Terrier. Tux has an old injury to his back, so he is paralyzed and has no use of his back legs. He does have a wheelchair and uses it when out of the house. He gets around great on his own in the house. He does wear a diaper, so he is not potty trained. He gets along good with other dogs and is good with kids also. He absolutely is obsessed with squeaky toys and is always on a mission to remove the squeaker. Tux was dumped in a shelter in KY. He is around 21 pounds.
