Story
Meet Diamond, a beautiful 4-year-old pittie mix with a sleek black coat and charming white accents. Just like her name, she’s truly a gem—smart, curious, and full of heart. Diamond has a wonderful mix of playful energy and mellow calm. One minute she’s zooming around with goofy joy, and the next she’s snuggling up for some quiet affection. Diamond is independent but cuddly, sweet but shy, and always full of personality. She’s a fast learner and loves to explore, making her a fun and rewarding companion. Due to her background, Diamond is still learning to trust, so she’ll need a patient home without cats or kids and very slow introductions to other dogs. If you're looking for a loyal friend with a bright spirit and a soft heart, Diamond is ready to shine in a home that understands her needs and will give her the love she deserves. Diamond is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit! ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Gunner—a handsome American Pit Bull Terrier with a sleek grey and white coat and a heart full of love. Gunner may have started life as a stray, but now he’s ready for the cozy life with a forever family who will adore him as much as he adores them. He’s a true companion dog who wants to be by your side, whether that’s cruising in the car, lounging on the couch, or just hanging out in the backyard. Gunner is smart, loyal, and eager to please. He’s fully potty trained, kennel trained, and knows commands like *sit, *stay, *come, and is working on *down. He’s easygoing on a leash—except when another dog is around (he’s still practicing his social manners)—but he’s overall a great walking buddy. He enjoys playtime with chew toys, cozy naps, and giving affectionate kisses to his favorite people. Gunner is looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can be the center of your world. He’d do best as your only pet—no cats or other dogs, please. If you’re searching for a silly, snuggly, and deeply devoted best friend, Gunner just might be your perfect match. Gunner is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know him in your home before finalizing the adoption.

Story
Looking for a happy-go-lucky, playful pup with a heart of gold? Meet Mala, a spirited American Pit Bull Terrier who lives life to the fullest and loves hard. Whether she’s zooming around the yard with her best friend Bob or curled up for a cozy nap, Mala brings joy and energy to every moment. Mala is incredibly smart and eager to learn—she already knows the basics and is more than ready to level up her skills (she even helped teach Bob how to sit when foster mom was struggling!). Give her a little time and some treats, and she’ll master any trick you throw her way. She adores people and greets everyone with full-body tail wags and enthusiastic affection—sometimes a bit too enthusiastically, but she just wants you to know how much she loves you! With a little continued training, she’ll be a perfect mix of manners and exuberance. Mala coexists with the cats in her foster home, though she prefers when they give her space and don’t run (who can resist a good chase?). She has a dominant personality with other dogs, so she’d likely do best as an only dog or with a calm, submissive canine companion who enjoys active play. She’s the perfect mix of adventure and chill—Mala loves car rides, walks, and even runs if that’s your thing. But after the fun? She’s all about snuggles on the couch and a good nap. Play hard, relax often is her motto. If you’re looking for a smart, athletic, loving dog who will make you laugh, keep you active, and snuggle you silly—Mala just might be the one for you. Mala is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption.

Story
Nobody knows how to wear a hat quite like I do&#44 dont you think? Hi there&#44 Im Ava! A sweet and silly girl that cant wait for her forever family. Thankfully&#44 all the kind people at the shelter have given me so much to be happy about. Ive learned what it means to be house trained&#44 how to share my toys&#44 and Ive experienced what it means to be loved&#44 really and truly loved by a human. <br/><br/>I want so much to trust every human I meet right away. But I need a little time to get to know someone and really develop a sense of connection and love for that human. The shelter experience lends itself to a lot of unfamiliar people needing to interact with me often&#44 and I get nervous and scared around all that attention. I prefer slower introductions&#44 getting to know the person&#44 and finding that I can trust that no one wants to hurt me. Once there is patience and understanding between us&#44 Im a little doll. Ive got quite the personality&#44 and I want so much to be a part of a family and feel included in activities.<br/><br/>I am also kennel trained&#44 and I like to sleep in my quiet little spot. Ive been soaking up the love in a foster home recently. When Im not snuggled up with Foster Dad&#44 I enjoy playing with my toys and snoozing the day way. I absolutely adore squeaky toys&#44 and Im a big fan of car rides&#44 too. Starbucks Pup Cup anyone?<br/><br/>Before I fully commit to a family&#44 Id really love to meet everyone to ensure we all have that special connection. Since Im still learning that new people are indeed trustworthy&#44 I would appreciate older kids who know how to be gentle with me. Love is a two-way street&#44 you know. I cant wait to shower my new family with endless love&#44 loyalty&#44 and lots of joy. Together&#44 well make beautiful memories&#44 and I promise to be the best companion anyone could ask for.<br/><br/>Love from Ava
