Story
Meet Dolly, a 1-year-old spayed female Rottweiler mix with a beautiful black-and-tan coat and a sweet, playful personality! Dolly can be a little nervous at first, but she warms up quickly and is soon ready to make friends.This energetic girl has incredible leash manners and checks in with her person during walks. She’s very food motivated, eager to please, and would likely enjoy learning fun tricks. Dolly has a chicken allergy, so her new family will need to choose food and treats that accommodate her needs.Dolly absolutely LOVES toys and can happily keep herself entertained with them! Stuffed toys are her favorites, though she should be supervised while enjoying them.Dolly appears to be dog friendly, but a meet and greet with any potential canine siblings is required to make sure everyone gets along. She also seems sensitive about having her paws touched and will need gentle, patient handling to help her feel comfortable.If you’re looking for a sweet, enthusiastic companion who’s ready for walks, playtime, and learning adventures, come meet Dolly!

Story
Blu — 5-Month-Old Neutered Male American Pit Bull TerrierWith his gorgeous red brindle and white coat, stunning hazel eyes, and goofy smile, Blu is ready to charm his way into your heart—and then zoom straight into your backyard!This happy boy has loads of puppy energy and loves to put it to good use. Playing with toys, chasing a ball, and running around the yard are some of his favorite things. He also enjoys splashing in water and does well at bath time, making cleanup after his adventures a little easier!Blu gets along with other dogs, though a meet and greet is recommended to make sure everyone is a good match. He also does well around children who can comfortably handle his enthusiasm and energetic play.He is mostly potty trained but still needs consistency, patience, and a little more practice. At just five months old, Blu is still learning and will benefit from a family willing to help him build good habits as he grows.An active family with a big backyard to zoom around in would be a wonderful fit for this fun-loving pup. If your idea of a great day includes fetch, outdoor adventures, and a goofy puppy making you laugh, Blu might be your guy!

Story
Meet Redd, a 9-year-old neutered male American Pit Bull Terrier with a stunning white and blue coat and the sweetest, most soulful eyes! This affectionate boy loves hugs, snuggles, and quiet time with his people. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or heading out for a stroll, Redd is happiest by your side.Redd has moved from shelter to shelter and is ready for the comfort and stability of a forever home. Through all those changes, he has remained a gentle, loving companion with so much affection to give. He’s also a big fan of treats, so a tasty snack is a wonderful way to start a friendship!Redd enjoys walks and does well on a leash, but he is a strong boy who needs someone comfortable managing his strength, especially when he gets excited. He does well when kenneled and has a calm demeanor. He could likely do well in either an apartment or a house with regular walks, enrichment, and plenty of time with his family. Redd needs to be the only pet in the home, where he can enjoy all the love and attention.Redd has shown a sensitivity to chicken, so his new family will need to choose food and treats without chicken as an ingredient.If you’re looking for a sweet companion with soulful eyes, some impressive muscles, and a whole lot of love, come meet Redd. After so much waiting, this deserving boy is ready for a home where he can settle in and stay.

Story
Xena is a sweet, affectionate girl who deserves a comfortable home and a family who will cherish her. She is very friendly with people, loves getting attention, and is always happy to accept a treat! Her favorite pastime is rolling around on her back in the grass, and she enjoys carrying stuffed animals around. She finds happiness in the simplest things, and she has so much love to share.About four years ago, Xena broke her wrist, but her owners never sought veterinary treatment. The injury healed incorrectly at roughly a 90-degree angle, and she developed a large callus that she became accustomed to walking on. When she was surrendered to us, we knew she deserved help to live more comfortably.Xena was evaluated by two veterinarians, and several orthopedic specialists were consulted. Amputation and reconstructive surgery were both considered. Because she has arthritis in her other legs, a custom-made prosthetic was determined to be the best option to help her walk more comfortably.Her adoptive family will need to be patient and understanding as she adjusts to her prosthetic and committed to continuing her veterinary care, monitoring, and any recommended follow-up appointments. A laid-back home without stairs to navigate would be ideal, allowing her to move at her own pace and enjoy a comfortable daily routine.Xena may enjoy a calm canine companion, with a meet and greet required to ensure a good match. She would also be happy as the only pet, soaking up the attention like the queen she is.After years of adapting to an untreated injury, Xena deserves a family who will put her comfort first. A soft bed, a favorite stuffed animal, a little patch of grass, and people who love her would mean the world to this deserving girl.Xena’s adoption will be handled through an interest questionnaire. Please submit your response by November 4. We will contact applicants directly to discuss her needs and the next steps.

Story
Meet Brownie, a beautiful 2-year-old spayed female Shepherd mix with a gorgeous brown and black coat and a personality just as sweet as her name!Brownie absolutely LOVES people and seems to believe that strangers simply do not exist. Everyone she meets is immediately a potential new best friend! She is affectionate, outgoing, and always excited to make new friends.Brownie is also a high-energy girl who loves to stay busy. She appears to be dog friendly and may really enjoy having another playful canine friend in her new home to help her run, play, and burn off some of that energy. A meet and greet with any resident dogs will be required.She loves treats, although she is still learning that fingers are not part of the snack! With a little practice and consistency, she should quickly learn how to take treats more gently.Brownie can also get a little overexcited when greeting people and likes to jump up to say hello. She will need a family willing to continue working with her on her manners and helping her learn that four paws on the floor gets her plenty of attention too!If you’re looking for a happy, energetic, people-loving girl who is ready to play hard, love even harder, and become part of the family, Brownie may be the perfect match!
