Story

Rhea is an unknown breed. She is very loving and always ready to cuddle. Rhea does struggle with anxiety, so she requires patience. She is usually scared of new people (we assume due to former trauma) but once she gets comfortable she will follow you everywhere. Rhea uses the bathroom outside on a tether, if loose she does not run, usually just wonders around sniffing. She has lived with plenty of cats, only bothering them by being too curious. Rhea likes living with larger, calmer dogs who like to play sometimes.Rhea also prefers women, but can get close to men. (I am her owner and am a man)

Nyla

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

Charleston, WV

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats,

Story

Nyla turned 1 year on April 27, 2026. My son brought her home as a puppy from his friends litter. Nyla is a product of "mom it's a cute puppy and I promise I will take care of it', scenario. Our household just cannot support an animal. She is not fixed, I don't believe she is current on her shots and she has some skin issue going on. Nyla really needs someone who has time for her and makes time for her. She is full of energy and just looks depressed all the time because she is alone. She is also not potty trained and that is a HUGE problem for me. I love this dog, she is beautiful, sweet and has such a desire to just be loved and paid attention to and she deserves that. I really hope someone reads this and feels the pull to take her in and provide her with everything she needs. I truly believe that she can be a remarkable pet with the right owner and household.

Mickey

American Pit Bull Terrier Whippet

Female, Young

Charleston, WV

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Mickey is affectionate and energetic. She sits, heels and stays on command. Mickey gets excited to see people and will jump up, but never in an aggressive way. She needs to be the only pet in the family. She likes to play fetch and catches a ball and a stick well. Mickey cannot get along with any other animals. We rescued her from a shelter 3 years ago and she was my teenage son's dog. My son has now gone to college and my husband had a stroke and cannot help with the animals. We have to keep her separated from our cat and other dog, because she attacked the cat. She has been great about not getting under foot or jumping up on my husband in his weakened condition. But we cannot give her the attention she deserves and it is stressful trying to keep her separated from the other animals. We love her enough to give her the family she deserves. She loves people, but not other animals.

Story

We got Scooby at the adoption place over a year ago, he has a microchip and is up to date on his shots, he does have a chewing problem, but he listens pretty well when you tell him no, but due to that, we have to keep him in his cage a lot of the time since we are always at work, and that’s not the type of life for a dog, so we need to find a home for him where he can run around, get the love and training he deserves.
