Benny

American Pit Bull Terrier Bloodhound

Male, Puppy
Happy Valley, OR
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Benny was rescued in Texas and has adapted really well to being the best boy. He is the sweetest pit Bull mix you’ll meet. He loves people and loves to cuddle and play. He is 4.5-5 years old and is house trained. He’s really smart. Due to a new career shift that requires traveling for weeks at a time, Benny’s mom has made the heartbreaking decision to try and give him a better life by rehoming him with someone who can really take care of him (and she is very open to an open adoption!). He is aggressive with other dogs and very territorial. He needs someone with a yard, no other pets (at first), and dedicated to getting him better behaviorally trained. His behavior is not why he is getting rehomed — it is not his fault. Please help him find a real forever home. With rehoming, Benny needs to take his things! you will get the following: - two beds - food and water tray - water dispenser - food to last 2+ weeks - plenty of toys and treats.

Tybolt

Husky

Male, Young
Happy Valley, OR
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tybolt is a purebred Siberian Husky with a black, tan, and white coat at 59lbs born 05/11/2022 who loves seeing the sights and hitting the trails. He will be your loyal companion animal as he comes when he’s called and gives hugs. As a Husky he’s very vocal and will let you know all about his day in full pup sentences or if he’s barking at the back door, he’s letting you know he’s ready to do his business. Tybz enjoys getting treats for tricks like give me paw, spin, leave it, and sit. His most adorable attribute is playing fetch in the yard just toss the ball and tell him “bring it back” and “drop it” and he does so while waiting eagerly for the next toss. After getting outside for the scenic adventures he will be your puppy couch potato and watch your favorite shows with you. He’s a calm and gentle presence after his walkies and enjoys quiet time listening to the sounds of nature. Sharing isn’t really Tybolt’s strong suit so he would prefer to be the only pup in your heart and home.
