Honey is so sweet and loving to everyone she meets. She is great with other dogs, cats, and farm animals and kids ! I saved her from someone who had puppies in the trunk of their car. She’s been in my home for over a year and if I did not have a bunch of other animals to care for I would keep her all for myself. She is really a huge love bug.

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.

Story
HI - I'M SANDY! I'm a 6-1/2-year-old sweet snuggler girl who needs a foster or forever home! I've been waiting for TWO YEARS for someone to choose me. I love to cuddle, hang out and watch TV, and go for walks, hikes, and other adventures. I do well with some dogs (I used to live in a home with a female dog), but prefer people to other dogs so I can get all of the attention. If you're looking for a snuggler, someone to share your bed and hug, I'm it! I truly am a lap dog, and I crave human attention and affection. I'm also super happy, and am just waiting for my person or people to come along. I weigh about 56 lbs. I would love a home for the holidays!

Story
HI - I'M SMILEY! I certainly live up to my name because I love to smile (just not always for the camera)! I'm a 4-1/2-year-old happy, handsome and stocky male Pit Bull Terrier. I'm all muscle! I was rescued from an overcrowded California shelter, after I had been there for 5 whole months! During that time, I had multiple kennel mates. At the shelter, I had regular play dates with other pups, and was even kenneled with a couple of huskies. Since exiting the shelter, though, we've determined I may be best as an only dog or maybe with a submissive female. I weigh about 50 lbs currently. Can you foster or adopt me? I've waited awhile for a home. Please email for an application.
