He is looking for a furever home where he is the only animal. He enjoys walks, and loves foods and snacks. A good back scratcher his person will need to be.

Dolores

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dolores was found on a country rd. We think she was used for breeding then after a few litters, dumped. She doesn't like other dogs, but once in a home and she de stresses that may change. She does love people, and wants to be touched and loved on. Although she is laid back, being a bull terrier still needs her outside exercise time to get some energy out. She is great on leash. Dolores needs to be any only pet, for the time being. We wouldnt trust her with children yet as she has some anxiety problems to work out first. We believe a routine, exercise, and structure will help her very much.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter

Story
Blackbird is a happy guy who loves to play ball. He would need to meet any other dogs, but he enjoys (10 and up) kids and did we mention playing ball. When he runs his ears flop, its the cutest thing. This boy was in a home and liked one dog but not the other, he also has some resources guarding issues. We think he would do best as an only dog untill a good trust and bond can be made. He does best with men.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter
