Story
Background: We adopted Lady, a deaf pitbull 2 years ago. She was such a great fit and came into our home because she was great as we fostered her. She had been returned to the shelter twice and had severe separation anxiety and does not do well in a cage. Lady is very sweet and loving but does require a lot of attention. She has high anxiety and will howl to soothe herself. We need to rehome her because she has attacked our other dog who is a small Dotson mix twice. Lady has bee going to daycare and does great with dogs her size or larger. She has not been around small children and I would not risk putting her in a home with children under 10. She is house trained and can stay at home alone but cannot tolerate being put in a crate. Lady will do well in a home with active and patient owners where she is the only dog and there are no small children.

Story
Vinnie is a 4 year old pit bull terrior who I got from my cousin as a puppy. Due to college I must rehome him. He is a great dog. I am looking for adopters who are active people that like to be outside because that works best for Vinnie. Vinnie loves to go for walks and runs, that being said he needs exercise. He cannot be couped up in a house is whole life without proper exercise. That is a huge worry of mine in this rehoming process. He is afraid of other dogs but not aggressive. He is fine with cats, kids, and new people. He loves people! He does this one flaw....he likes to chew blankets, so keeping them out of his reach is best and keeping chewing bones at his disposal is a must.

Story
Got Thor as a puppy from family friend in Oklahoma. He was abandoned with his sister. He is a great dog. Dad got to be very close to him. Later Thor became possesive of Dad and is not currently doing well with our other pets. Our Dog Loki (3 yrs) lab/pit and our cat Lucky (2 yrs) tuxedo cat. Also the Mom and daughters (21 and 8 yrs old. He's loves to play fetch and walks. At this point only Dad takes him on walks at night and lets him in and out of crate. He spends most of his time in the crate because behavior with other pets is not predictable. Thor is very loyal, loving, protective, affectionate.He would thrive with a single owner without any kids or other pets

Size

Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tucker has a big heart and is a protector at his core. Tucker loves to play...but plays rough! Therefore, we recommend a home without kids or cats. He can be hot and cold with other dogs, so it's probably best he be the solo dog also. Tucker absolutely adores women and would love the opportunity to be her knight in shining armor. If you're looking to give this guy a second chance, he's waiting for you and the chance to love again!As great as Tucker is he comes with some work needing to be done. Tucker has collar reactiveness and can guard his kennel. Mainly you are not allowed to walk in the kennel at all when he is in there. An experienced dog owner that has dealt with difficult dogs would be best for him. Tucker was adopted as a puppy and lived with a family for over a year prior to coming back to the shelter. He will need status reduction in the home - no couches, bed...more structure to help him blossom. Ask about him today

Story
Hi I'm Joey, I'm sure Jesse talked about me already, but I'm the handsome one! I was a stray with 3 other dogs in Whitewater and then we came to Lakeland. I'm a bigger boy who does walk pretty well on a leash and more or less mind my own business. I'd prefer a home without other dogs so I can soak up all the attention myself.

Story
Hi I'm Jesse! I came in with 3 other dogs I was hanging with on the streets of Whitewater. We got to take a ride in a police car, yep all four of us together. Joey and I look pretty similar so we could be siblings, but were not talking. I'm kind of big but I do walk well on a leash and have good manners. I don't react to other dogs but I don't want to live with them either. I will make a great companion!
