Story
Meet Remy! Remy is a sweet-as-pie 3-year-old pittie mix who pretty much loves everyone she meets. At a perfect 45 pounds, she’s the ideal medium-sized sidekick for couch lounging and outdoor adventures. Remy would be happiest as the only dog in her future home—she had a rough time with a past dog sibling—but she’s been nothing but friendly and polite with the dogs she’s met while in foster care. She’s house-trained, respectful in the home, and an expert couch-napper while her foster parents are out. (She might gather a few shoes and bring them up to snuggle with… but she never chews them. She’s just a quirky little collector!) Remy’s favorite things include: ✨ Any ball she can get her paws on ✨ Going for walks ✨ Learning new things—she’s super smart! ✨ Kisses, cuddles, and being close to her people She’s a strong girl and can pull on leash, but she’s already improving and eager to keep learning. If you’re looking for a loving, goofy, snuggly companion with the softest heart, Remy is your girl. 💛 (Born March 2023)

Meet Doja This sweet girl is the total package—house-trained, crate-trained, and full of love! Doja knows how to ring the bells when she needs to go outside, and she’s so well-behaved she doesn’t even need to be crated. She’ll happily snooze in her foster’s bed or curl up in her own cozy spot. She’s still learning her leash manners, but her heart is pure gold. Doja adores kids and gets along beautifully with other dogs. Whether she’s lounging on the couch, playing with her toys, or snuggling up for a nap, she’s happiest just being near her people. If you’re looking for a gentle, joyful companion who’s ready to be your best friend, Doja’s your girl. (Born April 2023)

Story
Meet Maverick — Your Loyal, Playful Companion! Maverick is a 3-year-old, 65-lb Pitbull with an old soul and a heart full of love. This mature, quiet, and playful boy has been thriving in foster care and is now ready to find a forever family who can appreciate his warm, affectionate personality. About Maverick: • Age: 3 years • Gender: Male • Size: 65 lbs • Breed: Pitbull • Neutered: Yes • House-Trained: Yes • Good With: Older kids; Not sure about other dogs; No cats, please. Maverick is the perfect mix of maturity and youthful spirit. He enjoys engaging playtime, loves a comfy couch cuddle, and settles beautifully indoors. He’s fully housebroken, crate trained, and currently brushing up on his basic commands. Maverick walks well on a leash and is an excellent partner for daily strolls or weekend adventures. He also enjoys enrichment activities—like puzzle toys and hide-and-seek games—that challenge his mind and keep him occupied and happy. While he’s typically calm and composed, Maverick occasionally gets a case of the “epic zoomies,” so a fenced yard is highly recommended. He can become excited when he sees other dogs and is currently working with a trainer to help him manage that enthusiasm. Maverick will thrive with a patient, understanding family who can support his continued confidence-building and help him channel his bursts of energy in healthy ways. Maverick is up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered—all he’s missing is a family to share his loyalty, affection, and playful spirit. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Maverick is your perfect match. (Born 2022)

Story
Sundae continues her search for forever! Sundae is housebroken and will tap the doorknob with her snout when she needs to go. She loves car rides and getting pup cups at coffee shops. She also enjoys walks, attending outdoor events and sitting on patios. She would prefer a home with male dogs, or maybe even no other dogs. She does OK with cats, but would also be all right with no cats. She would do well in a home with older, respectful kids or no kids. She would also benefit from someone who has experience with pit bulls. She does well with all adults-especially men. Sundae enjoys cuddling up by the fire, wearing sweaters and being close to her people. (Born Nov 2022)
