Phoenix is a sweet, gentle, and loving 4-year-old dog. She does not bite and has a great temperament. She has a healthy amount of energy but also loves relaxing, making her an easy dog to live with. She is fully potty trained, can go poop outside on command, and can stay home alone for up to 8 hours without accidents. She loves toys, especially tug-of-war, and can entertain herself. When you’re relaxing, she’s a couch potato. When you’re active, she’s happy to be up with you. Phoenix loves sleeping in bed under the covers and being close to her people. She would make a wonderful companion in a loving home.

Story
Hi! I’m Cujo! I’m 3 years old and loved fetch and cuddles and stuffies. I love sniffs and to potty on rocks! I don’t like baths but I will sit through them, I love to lick the coconut oil off my nose after mom also gives me some, she says it helps my breath. I am potty trained and house trained! I love kids! I get along with dogs sometimes but I am NOT a fan of cats! I do have some separation anxiety and need some training to help me self regulate. Recently I have developed an eating mom’s couch habit. I think my anxiety is getting worse. I just need someone who has time and the capacity to train me, mom works a busy schedule and has me for ESA but she is more my ESA. I love everyone and ear scratches! I know basic commands like sit, and heel. I’m learning roll over but it’s tricky! I eat blue buffalo and pumpkin puree, my stomach tends to be a bit upset at times. Overall I’m a good boy just my past life wasn’t nice to me. Adopt me!

Story
Hello! This is Sligo; hes a 1 1/2 year old pitbull. He was my mom's dog and lived with us for a while, but due to some personal issues, my mother hasnt been home for nearly three weeks nor has she contacted us about coming to get him. He's been in the care of my grandma and I, but my grandma's too old to be taking care of such a young, high-energy dog, and I just got a job that narrows the time I have to spend with him. He's a very sweet boy, albeit a little rambunctious, and loves to be loved on. He was never properly trained, so he does have issues with jumping (I've worked with him on it a bit and he has gotten better) and he likes to put your hand/arm in his mouth, but he's never bitten anyone before or showed any signs of aggression. Hes grown up with our other dog and loves to play with her, but again, he is on the rougher side. He needs someone willing to work with him and give proper attention. I know he's neutered, but Im unaware of anything medical beyond that.
