Story
If you are looking for a calm, wonderful sweet senior pup, Mariah is your pup! She was previously adopted from our rescue to be a companion to an elderly woman. Unfortunately, this woman ended up passing away, so she came back into our rescue. She is in great health, and still active. She just wants a loving home where she can spend the rest of the next several years with a loving person/family to give her all that she deserves. This pup as seen too much loss, as her previous adopter was the second home (that we know of) where her person had to leave her due to illness. We truly wish to see this very special girl go to a very special person or family. Are you that person or family? She's spayed, vaccines and microchipped and uber ready.

Story
I’m Skip. Sweet, Silly, and Still Figuring It Out. I’m one year old. A Pit mix. Neutered. Weigh about 44 pounds. I’m up to date on all my shots, including rabies. I’m housebroken, full of energy, and absolutely overflowing with personality. I’m good with people. I love kids. I do great with other dogs. I haven’t met a cat yet, but I’ve got a playful, friendly nature. No guarantees, but no red flags either. Here’s the thing. I’m a little wild. In the best way. I’ve got bounce. I’ve got zoomies. I’ve got that goofy energy that makes people laugh even when they’re trying to be serious. I’m nervous on a leash. Not gonna lie. It’s weird to me. We’re working on it. If you go slow and let me build trust, I’ll get there. Just don’t expect a perfect heel on day one. I love my crate. I love chew bones. I love having a routine and a cozy spot to settle after I burn off some steam. I’ve got good house manners when I’ve had my playtime and I’m given space to chill. What I need is someone who doesn’t mind a work in progress. Someone who sees past the leash nerves and into the soft, sweet heart that just wants to be part of something good. If you’ve got patience and a sense of humor, I’ve got all the love and weirdness you can handle. ##2537447##

Story
Captain Jack - Rready For Adventure With You!Ahoy, I’m Captain Jack, a strong, handsome Pittie mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’m playful, loving, and full of energy, always ready for a good time. I’m the kind of dog who makes you laugh every day with my goofy antics and love for toys. I can keep myself entertained for hours tossing a ball or squeaky toy around, and when I’m done, I’m all about the cuddles. I’m obedience trained and know my manners. I walk nicely on a leash, especially with someone confident who knows how to handle a strong dog. I’d be happiest with a handler who understands determined breeds or has Rottweiler or bully breed experience. I’m crate trained, smart, and always eager to learn more. I’d do best in a home with a fenced yard where I can play, stretch my legs, and go on nice walks or runs. I love adults and older kids who can match my energy, but I’m a little too strong for young ones under 12. I can be selective with other dogs, so a home where I’m your main sidekick would be perfect. I’ve got a sense of humor, a zest for life, and a loyal heart that never quits. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, confident companion who will keep you smiling and fit right in with your active lifestyle, I’m your guy. ##2430948##

Story
What can we say about Ms Nala? She's a LARGE Pittie, and such a wonderful girl. Do to her weight and the fact that she doesn't know her own power, we cannot have her homes with small children. Would recommend teenagers to adults ONLY please. Nala just wants to be loved. She does well with other dogs, and has never been in a 2 sided fight (this means that although some have attacked her, she has NOT fought back - so we do not believe that she has ever been in a real fight). She is Goofy and very loving. She is house-trained, she does have food allergies to Chicken and Salmon, so we keep her on a diet from Authority (Petsmart) which is no more expensive than other name dog foods. This goofy sweet girl would make a great addition to anyone who has had experience with sweet Pitbulls before

Story
I GIVE MEANING TO THE SAYING GENTLE GIANT! I am the most gentle boy you will ever meet! Please don’t let my size fool you—I think I was a Chihuahua in my previous life because I want to sit on your lap! If you have crumbs or sauce on your chin, you won’t need a napkin—I’ll take care of that for you! I love, love, love to give kisses to everyone I meet. Big or small, I don’t discriminate—I will lick them all! Some of my best features? My fawn, shiny, soft, and silky coat. And my eyes? Definitely a showstopper! When I smile, I can light up the whole room, and that’s exactly what I live to do—make you smile! I’m always finding new ways to keep you happy. I’m active, well-trained on a leash, and my manners are on point. My family didn’t want to give me up, but they had no choice. The only thing you’ll ever have to worry about with me? Sharing your snacks—because I am a snacker! The only thing not safe around me is a bag of Cheetos! I’m great with kids, but no small dogs or cats for me, please! ##2291498##

I’m Drew. You’ll Need Upper Body Strength and a Soft Spot for Goofballs. I’m one year old. A 51-pound Pit mix. Neutered. Housebroken. Fully vaccinated, rabies included. Basically, I’m ready to go. Just point me to your couch, your backyard, or your treat jar. I’m a very sweet, very strong, very enthusiastic young man. I love people. I love kids. I love other dogs. I haven’t met cats yet, but I bring good vibes into every room. Yes, I pull a little on the leash. I’m working on it. You’re going to need some upper body strength for the first few walks. I’m just excited to go somewhere, see something, smell everything. I don’t mean to drag you. I just walk like I’ve got places to be. I’m playful. I’m social. I’m housebroken. I love toys, especially the indestructible kind. I love attention, pets, games, and snacks. I settle when it’s time to rest, and I genuinely want to be a good boy. I just have a lot of energy and a lot of heart. Here’s what I’ll bring to your life:• Laughter, every single day• A built-in workout partner• A buddy who never says no to adventure• A face that makes stress go away• Uncomplicated, joyful loyalty I’m not for someone who wants calm right away. I’m for someone who wants real. Real love. Real energy. Real companionship. If that’s you, I’m waiting. ##2537448##

Roman: The Big Lug Looking for a Soft Place to Land Hi. I am Roman. I am a 65 pound Boxer mix with the kind of face that makes people smile even before I do anything. I am a big soft lug who wants a porch, a sofa, and a human who likes slow pats on the head. My energy is just right. I can hang out, go for a walk, sniff around the yard, then come inside and settle next to you. I walk well on a leash. I do not make things hard. I like being easy. I dont want any ruckus. I get along with male and female dogs. I am a gentleman until someone tries to boss me around. I do not start trouble, but I also do not let pushy dogs run the show. I usually get along best with female dogs. Having said that, I have a rescue buddy (male) here and we do great together. We move at the same pace. We enjoy the same simple things. So I guess, like you humans, it's if our personalities get along! People say I am the kind of dog who makes life feel calmer. I am not loud. I am not clingy. I am just present. Sit with me for two minutes and you will get it. I am the dog who leans into your leg and lets out a long breath. I make the world feel lighter. If you want a sweet older boy who loves porch time, couch time, and just being near you, I am your guy. I am ready for my home. Apply to foster or adopt me and let’s make some quiet, good memories together.   ##2537421##

Story
Due to landlord restrictions, we sadly need to rehome our 9-month-old male Boxer–Beagle mix. He is house trained, friendly, and full of personality. He loves playing with other dogs, is good with cats and kids, and truly gets along with everyone he meets. He loves going on his walks and he has a blast at the dog park. He’s still young and will need continued training and consistency, but he has so much potential and a great temperament. We are looking for a loving, stable home where he can get the time, attention, and exercise he deserves. This decision was not made lightly and is only due to housing issues. Our priority is finding him the right home.
