She’s a lovebug with a wild side. One minute she’s wrestling her sibling like it’s the championship round, the next she’s curled up beside you like nothing ever happened. Her snuggles are on her terms—but when she chooses you, it’s pure magic. Fiercely loyal, endlessly energetic, and full of heart, she’s the kind of dog who plays hard, loves harder, and keeps you guessing in the best way This one could be for peril

Story
Gia is a wonderful dog and I am really upset to have to be giving her up. My landlord gave us a 7 day notice to get her adopted and its been a super stressful situation. I have a corgi and a cat and they all get along so well. People have a misconception about pit bulls and it's one of the reasons I can't have her - her breed and her being over 25lbs. It’s unfortunate because she’s a super playful and loving dog. She love snuggles and never once has tried to bite me. My boyfriend and I really want the best for her. She barely gets any outdoor time since our HOA is making things harder. She deserves time outside to play and roll in the grass. We want what’s best for her. There is no price listed simply because of the urgency. Gia is more than what money could offer. She's a loyal best friend. She needs love and attention. She loves to hop around and be silly. Please reach out to me at 4078082761 if you are interested in meeting Gia. Thank you.

Story
Meet Twinkle, the 3-year-old, 43-pound sparkler who’s ready to light up your life! This shy and sweet girl is ready to leave her traumatic past behind her and find her forever human to show her what love, patience and kindness is. Twinkle is incredibly sweet with people she trusts, always ready to shower you with affection and brighten your day. Sweet Twinkle has been living with our dog trainer since September 1, 2025. She's crate trained, walks politely on a leash, rides beautifully in the car and LOVES people she trusts! She's discovered that living inside is wonderful and has enjoyed living in a family environment (rather than outside or in a crowded kennel). She's also found that toys are super fun to play with! Twinkle was rescued from life on a heavy chain, living outside without access to food, water or reasonable shelter. Her previous owner was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Although we don't know for sure what Twinkle endured we do know that she'll need her new owner to understand that she'll take a little time to get used to her new home and be patient with her.

Canine Clip: Lucy was trapped as a stray and was then surrendered by her owner. She would need to meet any other dogs in the home. With a proper introduction, she would do well with another dog. she’s good with cats but curious. She enjoys learning new things and she is very smart. She would also love a super comfortable couch! Personality: She is a sweetheart with the happiest wagging tail and a heart full of love! She quickly bonds with her humans. Lucy LOVES belly rubs and daily walks. We are still building her confidence but she loves lounging on the couch. She is fully house trained. Dream Lifestyle: Lucy would love someone who has time for play and training, she is very intelligent and a fast learner. She would like a yard to have her zoomies in! Other Pets: She would be happy to share a home and human with other dogs (any size) or as an only pet to soak up all the attention! She is good with cats, but she is curious about them- she has never chased or harmed one. She need someone willing to continue her training, she has progressed so well over the last couple of months. She's ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to her furever family!!

Story
Hello Hoomans. My name is Chico. I am a 2-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog, and I am deaf. I am friendly with cats and older children, but I don't really do well with the other dogs in my home. I love chewy toys, treats, and Hooman food although I don't get this very often, and have slight separation anxiety, but with toys to chew, I am ok. I am house broken, and love being outside with hoomans, I can walk well on a leash, but I can pull if I see a squirrel or bird. I also enjoy sitting on the couch, with my hoomans, who I love to cuddle with, because I think I'm a smaller dog than I actually am. If you feel like I would be a good dog-o in your home, please send my current hoomans an email.
