Story
“You Think I Don't Know Ball?” Meet Emma! At 6 years old, Emma the Pit Bull mix has mastered the art of ball. Fetch? She invented it. Catch? She’s a pro. Tug? Only if you can keep up! With her adorable ears perked and eyes locked in, Emma takes her playtime very seriously - and she wouldn’t have it any other way. But don’t let her athletic skills fool you - Emma’s also a total sweetheart who loves spending time with her favorite people. She’s loyal, affectionate, and will happily snuggle up after she’s proven, once again, that yes… she does know ball. Emma is looking for an experienced adopter who understands her zest for life and can continue her training journey. She’ll need to be the only pet in her home so she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. She’s also part of our Paws Forward Program, which means her adopter will receive 3 free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s to help Emma keep shining both on and off the field. If you’re ready for a loyal teammate, a goofy best friend, and a champion ball player, Emma is ready to play ball… forever. Can't adopt? Please share!

Story
Meet Bori—a 9-year-old Pit Bull with a young heart, a sweet soul, and a love for adventure! He’s been with us for 7 months now, watching his two former canine housemates find their forever homes… and now it’s his turn. Don’t let his age fool you—Bori has plenty of energy and is always up for fun. He’s a pool-loving, tail-wagging, treat-chasing explorer who also knows how to turn on the charm and melt into your side for cuddles. He’s done well living with other dogs before and would love to meet any potential dog siblings with a proper introduction. Bori is part of our Pawsitive Pawgress Program, which means he’s been learning new skills to help him thrive in a home—and he comes with three free training sessions with Kind K9s after adoption to help him settle in. After 7 months of waiting, and watching his friends go home one by one, Bori is still here. Still sweet. Still hopeful. Still ready to be someone’s best friend. Let’s make sure his wait ends soon. Could that someone be you?

Story
Ace doesn’t need much. At 8 years old, this sweet Pit Bull mix is past the busy, high-energy days. What he wants now is simple: a comfortable place to rest, familiar faces, and someone who enjoys his steady, affectionate presence. Ace loves deeply and gently, the kind of dog who settles near you and makes a house feel calmer just by being there. Ace does have medical challenges. He has severe spondylosis and mild hip dysplasia, so his days are slower and carefully managed. He’s on medications for pain control, should stay on activity restrictions, and needs to remain lean so his body isn’t carrying more than it can handle. Because of this, he’s happiest with short, easy routines and plenty of rest. Ace is part of our Forever Foster Program, which means his medical care will continue to be fully provided by us. What we’re searching for isn’t a financial commitment - it’s a compassionate one. A home that understands his needs and is willing to give him comfort, stability, and love. He deserves a soft place to land, where his days can be peaceful and his heart can feel safe. If you can offer that, Ace is ready to be yours. Can't adopt? Please share!

Say hello to Bently - a 1-year-old Pit Bull mix. This sweet, sensitive boy is on the quiet side and takes time to warm up, but once he starts to trust, you’ll see just how special he really is. Bently is looking for a kind, patient adopter who can help him build confidence and gently guide him. He’s enrolled in our Paws Forward Program, which means his adoption includes three free training sessions with our amazing trainer, Janette from Kind K9s. These sessions will help set Bently (and his adopter!) up for success as he continues to come out of his shell. With time, love, and positive reinforcement, Bently has the potential to truly blossom. He just needs someone who believes in him and is ready to help him write his next chapter. Come meet Bently and see what a little patience and a lot of love can do. 💛🐶

Story
This is Jack. He is a 5 year old pittie boy that has spent over two years waiting for the right person to come through our doors. Jack is a stunning, smart, and incredibly loyal boy who has been with us for 847 days— and while we’ve grown to love him deeply, he deserves so much more. He deserves a home. Jack is looking for a very special adopter: someone with experience, patience, and a deep understanding of dogs. He must be the only pet in the home, and he’ll need a home without children. But if you’re his person? You’ll get a devoted companion, a playful goofball, and a walking buddy for life. He adores his walks and proudly shows off his stuffies during play time. He’s working hard in our Pawsitive Pawgress Program, which includes three free training sessions after adoption with KindK9s to help support a successful transition into your home. We do ask that if you are interested in Jack, you come in a few times to get to know him. He is a part of our Foster-to-adopt program as well! Jack has waited so long for his chance. Please help us find him the person he’s been waiting over two years for. Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s someone you know. But let’s not let him wait too much longer. 🖤
