Story
Enzo is a funny and bright young dog. He arrived knowing his `sit,` `stay,` and `come` cues. He`s interested in what`s going on around him and likes to check in with his handler. His leash walking skills are pretty good as he`s more of a weaver than a puller. With a little direction and play, Enzo will be able to thrive and succeed with a kindly someone. Could that someone be you?Come meet Enzo today!*My adoption fee was graciously SPONSORED!*

Story
Gilmore was so named after the movie Happy Gilmore because he is always ready to go with a happy smile and an even happier attitude. Gilmore is excellent with the other dogs, adjusting his play to meet the other dog where they are, even if it means slowing down or lying sideways on the ground to play with someone smaller than himself. Gilmore knows how to keep four paws on the floor for greetings and listens well to his handlers. He doesn`t pull on leash but tends to zig zag a bit in search of all the smells. Gilmore is so happy here that we can`t imagine how happy he will be in his forever home.If you`re looking for a good and social friend, this steady fellow might just be your man. Come meet Gilmore today!

Story
Avery: Your Next Snuggle & Adventure Buddy! Female 1 year old  Hi there! My name is Avery, and I'm a sweet, friendly 1-year-old Female Pit Bull Terrier looking for a family to call my own. My foster parents say I'm an absolute gem! I'm completely kid-friendly and get along great with other dogs. I'm past my puppy-crazies and am well-mannered on the leash, making me an excellent partner for adventures—whether it's a walk in the park or a fun hike. A few things you should know about me: Food is my love language! I am extremely food motivated, which means I'm super easy to train and a quick learner. Got a treat? You've got my attention. I'm not a morning person. My idea of a perfect wake-up call is a slow stretch and a snuggle (after breakfast, of course!). I'm a champion cuddler! At the end of the day, there's nothing I love more than snuggling right up in bed with my people. My past is, well, my past—and I'm not looking back. All that matters is that my heart is open, and I'm ready to pour all my love into my new family. If you're looking for a dog who is loyal, loving, adventure-ready, and a world-class snuggler, please call or email my foster parent to set up a meet-and-greet! I can't wait to meet you! Adoption & Contact Information   About Me:  Female House Trained, Crate Trained, & Leash Trained Great with Children Good with Medium and Large Dogs Microchipped Up to date on all Vaccinations, Flea & Tick Treatment, and heartworm prevention Interested in Meeting Me? If you're interested in making me a part of your family, please start by filling out our Online Adoption Questionnaire.

I had a chihuahua mix (recently deceased) that she grew up with, and also 2 cats. She is 11 but still very active. She loves kids and playing fetch.
