Story
I am looking to rehome my dog, Kai. He was born in July of 2022. He is a good boy, but I feel guilty that my work schedule leaves him home alone most (15 hours) of the day (NO accidents!). It is not fair to him. I have had him since January 2025 and got him after pet-sitting for his previous owners who were looking to rehome him with their small house and expanding family. He listens very well on walks, comes back when you call him, keeps an eye on other dogs when out on walks, but is not the aggressor. He does have anxiety and would be best with someone or a family who can spend a lot of time with him. He gets CRAZY excited when you return from anywhere, whether you were gone a minute or a week! Kai also gets VERY attached to his humans, children being his favorite! He would be great with another dog in the home as well. I have only taken him to the vet once which was due to seasonal allergies. He needs and deserves a very loving home. Please reach out with any questions!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Murfreesboro, TN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We are rehoming Bailey because we took her in literally off the street at 4 months old to save her from urbanization at a shelter. We have taken care of Bailey and trained her in the last year we have had her. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue caring for her due to my son being allergic to her hair and dander. We have tried to control the allergies with medication, but he’s still always having issues. She is good with kids, she has not really been around other dogs or cats, but think she has a good temperament. She is chipped and she comes with all of her belongings. She has a furniture pet crate she sleeps in. She loves her box with her pillow. She rests in it throughout the day as the door is only closed at night. She has a ton of chew toys, a few harnesses and even a few outfits. She needs an owner or family that can give her a lot of attention. She is very attached to being close to people. She comes with all her things.
