Story
Cece is a mixed breed dog we are pretty sure is part doberman. She is a sweet loving dog who has a lot of energy and wants to play all day. I got her thinking that I would have a lot more time but I got a new job and it is taking up a lot of time which i feel bad notbeing able to spend with her. Looking to find her a hime with an experienced dog owner maybe with other dogs and can train her well. She is a good girl and she does her best to listen but can get restless and stop listening. She is willing to learn and get better as she is less than a year old. No need to pay just want to make sure she is going to a loving home.

Story
Meet Blanca Breed: Pit Bull Mix Date of Birth: July 11, 2021 &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 80 pounds Spayed & Healthy Intake Date: June 6, 2023 Blanca is a big, beautiful girl with a loving heart and a happy, eager spirit. She enjoys attention and affection from her people and has so much potential to thrive in the right home. This smart girl is currently in training through the Paws to Prison Program at Corcoran Prison, where she’s learning from dedicated inmate handlers. She’s working on important skills like sit, stay, and leash walking, helping her grow into a more confident and obedient companion. The structure and care of this program are helping Blanca build trust and become her best self. Notes from the trainer: Blanca is a gentle, 4-year-old American Pit Terrier/Dogo Argentino mix weighing about 85–90 pounds. Despite common misconceptions about her breed, she’s calm, motherly, and easy to love. Blanca is bilingual, responding to commands in both Spanish and English, and knows a variety of tricks and manners such as sitting, lying down, rolling over, staying, and waiting patiently for food. She’s house-trained, non-aggressive, and takes treats gently. Blanca is great with other dogs, enjoys tug-of-war, basketball, belly rubs, cuddling, and even baths. She’s ticklish on her chest and back legs, rarely barks, and communicates when she needs to go outside. While she dislikes loud noises and will chase lawnmowers, she loves golf cart rides. She’s curious about cats in a playful way. Due to past mistreatment, she may cower if hands move quickly near her face, but she remains affectionate and trusting. Overall, Blanca is a loving, well-mannered companion who craves attention, enjoys naps, and is looking for a safe, caring forever home. Special Considerations  Blanca may do best as the only dog in a home without young children. She’s selective with other animals and needs a calm, experienced owner who understands dog behavior and can continue her training with patience and consistency. Breed Information  Pit Bull mixes like Blanca are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and strong bonds with their humans. With proper guidance and a stable environment, they become deeply devoted, affectionate companions. They require exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation to stay balanced and happy. Owner Responsibilities &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Adopting Blanca means committing to: Daily exercise, structured routines, and continued positive reinforcement Regular veterinary care, quality food, and preventive health measures A calm, stable home where she feels safe and loved Advocating for her breed and being a responsible pet owner Things to Consider Before adopting Blanca, please ask yourself: Do you have experience with strong, intelligent breeds? Can you provide time, patience, and consistent leadership? Does your home (and landlord, if applicable) allow large dogs? Is your lifestyle suited to a one-dog household? A Commitment for Life Blanca is not an outdoor or chained dog—she's a family member who deserves to live indoors with love, safety, and respect. Adopting her means a lifetime commitment. She’s ready for a second chance with someone who believes in her and is ready to offer the structure and affection she needs. If you're experienced, understanding, and ready to offer Blanca the forever home she deserves, she’s ready to return that love tenfold. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.

Story
Henry is an adult male Pit Bull, born on May 3, 2021, and weighing 40 pounds. With a big heart and a love for adventure, Henry is sure to capture the affection of those who take the time to understand his unique personality. Despite his strong and confident exterior, Henry requires patience and experience to fully appreciate his loving nature. Henry's journey to becoming a friendly and well-behaved companion hasn't been without its challenges. Due to a lack of socialization during his formative years, Henry sometimes struggles with social cues, which can lead to misunderstandings in social settings. Fortunately, with dedicated training and care, Henry has made significant progress and thrives under the guidance of an experienced owner. What to Expect When Adopting a Dog Like Henry Slow and Steady Introductions: Henry is a "three-date dog," meaning he takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Multiple meet-and-greet sessions will help him feel more comfortable and secure. Patience and understanding are key to gaining his trust. Continued Training and Guidance: While Henry excels in obedience commands such as sit, down, place, and boundary control, he needs ongoing training to reinforce his social skills. A pinch collar is recommended once trust is established, helping him maintain focus and control during walks. Adventure-Loving Spirit: Henry loves adventure and is a great companion for pack walks, though he may initially feel uneasy. His ability to walk calmly past other dogs without reacting is a testament to his progress and potential. Understanding Boundaries: Henry is not allowed on furniture to prevent dominance issues. Instead, he enjoys using his designated place as his own cozy sofa. This routine helps reinforce boundaries and ensure a harmonious living environment. Gentle Handling: Henry is sensitive about being grabbed by his collar. Using treats to lure him is a more effective approach, as it prevents him from shutting down and maintains a positive attitude. Breed-Experienced Owner: Henry requires an owner with experience in handling Pit Bulls or similar breeds. Understanding his needs and providing a structured environment will help him continue to thrive and grow into a well-rounded companion. By welcoming Henry into your home, you're inviting a loyal and adventurous spirit into your life. His journey of growth and the bond you'll build together will be rewarding and fulfilling. If you're ready to offer Henry the understanding and guidance he needs, he might just be the perfect match for your family!
