Story
I adopted bingo a few weeks ago. She’s a good dog but I not able to give her the proper stimulation she needs. She loves to play with toys and she likes to lay and chew on them to relax herself. She especially loves big toys that crinkle and squeak. She is the perfect dog for someone that is active or anyone that’s an outdoor lover. She loves to play outside and go on walks. She is food motivated which helps a lot with training. She does good in public and with other dogs. She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night and is in there while I am at work. She is 49lbs, which I would consider a medium sized dog, and about 2 years old. She is on an anxiety medication called Prozac which she takes everyday but it has helped her a lot and she eats the pill pretty easily if you just put it in any food she likes. My goal is for her to be adopted into a loving home🤍🤍

Story
Milli is a 5 year old spayed and chipped American Pit Bull Terrier. She is very loyal affectionate and brilliant. She learns very quick and is easily trained. She is house trained and crate trained. She is trained on basic commands sit, stay, down, crate, outside, inside, and "okay Milli" as a release. She has a lot of energy and needs a lot of mental stimulation and exercise. Milli struggles with anxiety, resource guarding, and other behavioral issues. We have tried everything we can with her. We also have other dogs including an older 11 year old female that she does not get along with anymore. We have been rotating crates for the past year and a half but recently her aggression towards our other dog has increased. With us having kids in the home and an elder dog who struggles we feel it would be best for our animals and our family to rehome her. I am happy to give more information and answer any questions. She would do best in a home with no other dogs, cats, or young children.

Story
Yep, that's right, I only have one spot! I am a confident, playful boy that is too fast for my humans to get good pictures, unless I'm asleep. I love to play and run and I would love a yard for exploring! As only one of three boys in my litter of 8, I've become a little independent and I'm always finding a new adventure! I'm crate trained and potty trained, and will be neutered soon. With some love, attention and someone as energetic as I, I want to be the best boy to love on a new human best friend! I do pretty well on car rides so my humans are willing to travel to find me the perfect home!

Story
I am a beautiful spunky girl named Kirby! Nice to meet you! I was the littlest one of my litter of 8, so I am a little shy and quiet, but I gain confidence and curiosity every day! I would love a yard to run and play, but I can be a little escape artist, so it is best to be fenced in. I am still very cuddly with my elderly human that rescued us, and learning my manners better every day. I would love to meet you and see if you are my new humans!
