Story
Looking for adoptive parents for King. My schedule changed and I work long hours. He is caged most of the mornings and evenings. When I come home he comes right out of the cage. He is also crate trained. He will be two on December 20th. He loves attention, loves to eat, loves to cuddle, loves hugs, and kisses. He loves the waterhole in the summertime and long walks, and playing with other dogs. Favorite toys stuffed animals and blankets. He is very obedient and very playful around adults and children, and other pets. Well behaved to anyone that he comes across. Looking for a family that would give him all of above love, freedom, and care for the rest of his dog life. Thank you!

Story
I found her. She was friendly with me. I’ve had her about 3 weeks now. Few things I wasn’t ready for was her excitement. She likes to jump on me when I come home. I understand she is getting used to a new setting but her barking is becoming to much when she hears my upstairs neighbor coming or going. That’s what has made it I have to rehome her. She’s good with walking and will stay next to me but she growls at every one and has barked at every neighbor. That’s how I got told on. I take her out back to run in the yard. She enjoys that. I’m looking for someone who has more time for her than I do. Someone who can walk her daily to burn off energy, someone who can handle or train her not to jump when you walk in. She needs attention and love. She does need a prong collar to walk. She’s great on car rides.

Story
Timber needs a new home. He has always had skin allergies over the years but they have got worse as he gets older. I am unable to afford testing to determine specific allergies and vet costs are also too costly. I have a small child at home with a heart condition and I don't want the excessive dander to interfere with his health. He is due for another surgery soon which is why the need for rehoming is urgent. Very friendly dog. Gets along well with people of all ages from infant to adult. Gets along with cats and most dogs. Is crate trained but very anxious in cage so not currently caged. He is a rescue dog. I've tried to surrender him back to them hut he's been on a waiting list for a long time.

Jessie is being fostered in FL Jessie is doing great! He continues to be very sweet and gentle, and whenever his foster mom walks him, the neighborhood children love to come over and pet him. And if he hears people talking, he'll come over to say hello! Jessie also thinks he's part cat! His foster mom says he makes a noise like he's purring when she pets him. :) Please fill out an adoption application if you are interested in Jessie.

Story
Hope is being fostered in LA. She has both some vision and hearing, but is both vision and hearing impaired. Update: Hope is doing really good I was worried when her sister left she’d be a little lost but she’s not. She loves playing outside and running around with her foster siblings. Her favorite game is chase and tug a war. She’s still a big snuggler and loves attention. Goes in her crate easily. She definitely can hear just not sure how well ( always seems to hear the snack bag opening). Hope would definitely love to be your lap dog. She likes to cuddle and sleeps right by her foster mother. Hope plays well with her foster siblings of all sizes and breeds. She likes to play with toys and hang out with her sister Faith. She loves running around outside. Hope is deaf.

Story
I have 2 Pitbull. Apollo and Tut. Tut (cropped ear) has separation anxiety that I cant Afford to treat due to the circumstances of having to rehome in the first place. Apollo is very energetic. They both will bark at you but once you slowly approach them they are fine. I’m unaware of how they will be honestly in a new home since it’s a new adjustment for them. They’ve never bitten anyone. They deserve life I cant give them, like walks, dog parks, hiking, just overall taking them places to get their energy out. They will most likely need to get trained for that as their leash manners have decreased since being in the house were living. (Couldn’t get out much due to circumstances). They are a bonded pair. Prefer both of them to stay together and if there is anyway possible I can Keep in touch to see how they’re doing. They are my 1st babies but I can’t take them with me as no one will take in a toddler and infant and 2 dogs. Thank you for any inquiries.

Chunk is a lovebug with a lot of energy. He is good in the house and good with children. He does pull a little on walks tho. Not sure about children under 3 but he's good with kids that are older. He needs a lot of exercise which I sadly cannot provide. If you are good at training this breed and love snuggles he is the dog for you. He would benefit from a high fenced in yard to run some of his energy out. He really is a sweet boy who deserves the best
