Story
T-Rex is a 4-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier I adopted when he was 11 weeks old from the Columbus Humane Society. He has been the only pet in the house the whole time. Within the last year or two, he started having skin flare-ups from food allergies. He was on a prescribed food and steroids which helped, but it was becoming very expensive and I couldn’t keep up after the loss of my job. I now home-cook his food and he takes a multivitamin, which helps, but not as much as the medicated food. T-Rex really is such a good dog and an absolute sweetie and loves to snuggle. I just can’t afford to pay for the life he deserves anymore.T-Rex is:• Neutered and housetrained• Good with kids• An absolute sweetie who loves to snuggle• A fan of watching dramas, rom-coms, and horror movies on the couch• Managing food allergies that require a specific diet• Anxious during car rides and nail clippingsI just want him to have the life he deserves with the right medical support.💰 Rehoming fee: $25

Story
Chirpy is 5 years old, she is part boxer and part pit bull. She’s one of the best dogs we’ve ever had, she’s very obedient, people pleasing, potty trained, chirpy is on a potty schedule and does not alert us to go outside we just do it on a schedule basis, she’s also crate trained. She cannot be left out of her cage by herself as for she gets anxiety and WILL have accidents in the house. She however does sleep with us/ our kids at night, She’s been around other dogs and kids of all ages. She is up to date on vaccines. Since she is part boxer she has skin issues, so she is prescribed allergy meds on a daily basis to entirely control this issue, it is important she takes it every morning after her meal. She will be sent with what’s left of the prescription she takes for her skin allergy.

Story
Teddy is a sweet boy who would do well with an active family. He loves car rides, loves being with his people while he chews on his toys and plays tug of war. He responds very well to training and would thrive in an experienced home where he could be praised for his brains and his beauty. He is 3 years old and we're working on his manners. Sometimes he jumps in excitement or nips a hand when playing. These would be easily corrected with the right family and patience. He would be best placed with older kids, since he's very strong. His current foster fam is doing their best, but they're used to grumpy old seniors and he is full of life and energy and eager to please! He is about 50 lbs of pure joy. He loves to be in on the action, but he also knows when it's quiet time. He sleeps in his crate at night by choice(he'd prefer the bed) and is crated while we're away without protest. He would do best in a home without cats, as he has cattle dog in him and loves to chase small animals.

Story
I found this dog with a belt around its neck in a grocery store parking lot. I believe somebody was using the belt as a leash. The dog looks thin. I already have two dogs and one of my dogs does not want anything to do with this dog and shows aggression towards it. I have the Stray or abandoned dog in the garage but it is not ideal and I cannot keep him.

Hi Everyone! Meet Ferg! He’s a 3 year old potcake/black mouth cur. He’s the sweetest and most loving dog. He LOVES being lazy and snacking on whatever you’re eating. he’s amazing with kids and has no issues with other animals (besides loving to chase squirrels) he does have a bit of anxiety when left alone. & unfortunately due to circumstances, i have to find a new loving home for him. Please let me know if you’re interested.
