Story
Tips is an almost 2-year-old pit bull mix who is having a tough time adjusting to shelter life. He’s a very sweet boy at heart, but the environment has left him feeling scared and unsure. Tips does well with other dogs, though he tends to be timid and would benefit from slow, positive introductions. He’ll need some leash training and continued socialization to help him build confidence in the world around him. Tips is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give him the time and reassurance he needs to come out of his shell and show just how loving he truly is.

Story
Duke is a mini aussie who has lived with our family for a few years. Unfortunately due to work we are having to rehome all of our dogs. Duke is a sweet and friendly dog who has lots of energy. He loves to pay fetch and is great with kids. He seems a little cautious around men but I have never had him be aggressive towards anyone. He does great with our other dogs and cats. He is not neutered but he is uo to date on shots. Small rehoming fee to make sure he goes to a loving home.
