Story
We have had Demi for about 3 years now, but unfortunately we cannot keep her. She is a sweet girl who is very nervous when she meets new people. She does well if people wait to pet her after she settles down, and then once you start petting her- you better not stop! She loves butt scratches, stuffed toys, and bones.

Story
Kai is 1 1/2. We got him at 6 months old from a buddy that was getting stationed over seas. He turned out to be reactive, we have been working with him as best as we can. He has his moments, with patience once he meets somebody he is then fine and used to them. He is extremely smart, toy & treat driven. Loves to play and cuddle. With our jobs & space we are in now, we have came to the decision it’s best and most fair for Kai to get re-homed to someone that has the time and space for him. He has a few dog friends in our neighborhood but has been very selected to just those dogs. He has never been around children or cats. He is house trained & knows a lot of tricks. High energy. He would thrive in a house with a yard or land and with someone that can work him everyday. We go out 1-2 times a day just for commands/tricks (with a toy, fetch). Sometimes a long walk. Bathroom breaks through out, sometimes only being morning and evening because of work. Reach out if you have any ?’s!!!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Ghost is an 8ish y.o rescue I adopted this past January, & he’s a sweet, easygoing dog looking for the right home. He was originally brought to the shelter as a stray, so not much is known about his history, but he was neutered before I adopted him. I am committed to finding him a loving home & do not want to return him to the shelter. Ghost is a laid-back cuddler who loves the couch, but he also has a goofy/playful side—he may not be into toys, but he enjoys running around the yard & playing outside. He does well on walks (but he tires quickly), rides calmly in the car, & is very cooperative during baths and nail trims (he’s had three so far). He’s food-motivated & eats Purina Sensitive Skin & Stomach using a slow feeder. He will come with his collar, harness, large heavy-duty crate, food, records & beds. While he gets along with other dogs, he isn’t the right match for my resident dog. I’m not asking for a fee—just a loving, committed home where he’ll be cared for & cherished.

Story
I just got a new job that requires me to work a lot of overtime. This isn’t fair to Ace. I live alone and he was my champion but I don’t have the time to dedicate to him. He is so sweet and has never ever bit me or anyone. He understands that is a no no! Please help me rehome him where he can be happy!
