Story
people were giving away this 8 week old pittie. We could tell he was being miss treated. He was the runt. so we were told he got picked on. He was staying in a dirty home. So we took him to find a better home for him. He has I wanna say one or two shots since we took him to the vet. He around 6 months old we estimated his birthday his February 19th, 2025. My partner is starting a job very soon so we don’t have time for him nor do we have family to watch him. He never been aggressive, . He just plays rough. He loves playing in rivers and fetch. is very much a lap dog even tho he60lbs. He knows how to sit, give paw and lay down, tho he is very stubborn at times. He is crate trained as well. He loves to just run and play. Hes a good boy when it comes to baths. Loves a good nature walk. He just wants to meet everyone. I do feel like he could use a sibling. He rings the bell to go potty. Large cage, toys, bells, food, treats and bowls included. All we ask is updates on him:)

Good with dogs,
Story
Hey, I’m Bruce, your friendly neighborhood escape artist. I’ve landed at the shelter a few times because I’ve got energy for days and I like to check out the world if nobody’s keeping an eye on me. What can I say? I just love life. I’m super outgoing, love snacks, and I make plenty of happy noises when I’m getting attention or playing with dog friends. I listen when people or other dogs tell me to tone it down, though. I’m affectionate, playful, talkative, and I walk pretty well on a leash. If you’ve got an active lifestyle and a place that can match my zest for adventure, I’m ready to be your guy.

Story
Bri Bri is an adorable 8-pound Chihuahua who came to us through no fault of her own. This tiny senior gal arrived with some skin issues, but she’s getting the care she needs and is already on the road to looking and feeling so much better. She’s a laid-back lady who enjoys the simple things in life, like a nice daily walk and curling up right beside her favorite humans. She’s not the playful type, but she absolutely shines when it comes to cuddling and companionship. Bri Bri is ready to find a calm, loving home where she can spend her golden years feeling safe, adored, and spoiled in all the best ways
