Story
Looking for a loyal best friend with a heart as big as her smile? Meet Mandie! This beautiful 4-year-old black and white Pit Bull Terrier mix is the perfect blend of playful, affectionate, and devoted. Mandie is spayed, house trained, and knows some basic commands, giving her a great foundation for life with her forever family. She walks well on a leash, though she can get a little excited and pull at times—she's always eager for her next adventure! When the day is done, Mandie's favorite place is right by your side. She's a champion cuddler who never turns down belly rubs or a tasty treat. She gets along well with other dogs and would love a family that will include her in all of life's special moments. Mandie is heartworm positive, but don't let that discourage you—heartworm disease is treatable, and she deserves a loving home just as much as any other dog. She would do best in a home with older children, as her enthusiastic personality can sometimes be a little overwhelming for younger kids. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who will reward your love with endless loyalty, cuddles, and a lifetime of friendship, Mandie is ready to steal your heart. Could you be the one to give this wonderful girl the happy ending she's been waiting for?

Story
Duke Jackson is an 8 year old Boston Terrier that weighs about 21lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heart worm prevention. Duke is all Boston! He’s an active Boston who loves walks, toys, his crate, mealtime, and so much more!  Duke is an early riser, so it’s the perfect time to take him for an AM walk before it gets too hot, but like a true Boston, he loves to sunbathe too. Duke does great on a leash on walks or casual strolls. He is crate trained and house trained. He LOVES his toys and like to play play play, but he is learning “all done” means it’s time to rest. He currently takes Prozac to help him settle into his new routine, but we believe this could be weened off as he adjusts to life in his new furever home and a stable environment.  Duke would thrive in a home where he was the only dog. Because of his energy level, we recommend a home without children. He has some mildly elevated liver and kidney labs, so we recommend checking those at least once a year to make sure they are staying consistent.  Duke is spunky, funny, cute, and of course a little stubborn - all of the ingredients of a great Boston terrier companion! If you would like to give Duke his forever home, please submit an application at southerncrossbtr.com. The adoption fee is $250. He is being fostered in Nashville, TN. Approved adopters must be willing to travel to where the dog is being fostered in order to adopt them.  For a complete listing of all of our available Bostons, or to learn more about SCBTR, please visit our website at www.southerncrossbtr.com. Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/southerncrossbtr or Instagram @scbtr. Thank you for choosing rescue and for considering Southern Cross for your next furbaby.  ** IF THIS AD IS STILL ACTIVE, THEN THIS PET IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ** ##2393788##
