Dante

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Gaithersburg, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dante is a sweet, affectionate, and low-maintenance dog with a gentle, goofy personality. Dante is very intelligent, responds well to commands, and absolutely loves to cuddle—this is one of his favorite things and definitely worth emphasizing! Dante is fully potty trained and sleeps through the night without waking up early. He rarely has accidents and will usually let you know when he needs to go outside. He isn’t overly energetic, making him a great companion for a calmer household, but he does enjoy playing with his stuffed toys and happily chewing on bones. He is also great with kids (with supervision due to his size) and has lived happily with another dog in the past. Making the decision to re-home Dante has been incredibly difficult. I am moving out of the country to attend a two-year graduate program, and unfortunately I don’t have the financial means to bring him with me. My priority is finding him a loving, stable home where he will continue to be cherished.

Story
Meet Fred — a big-hearted, chonky sweetheart with a goofy charm and a whole lot of love to give.Fred is the kind of dog who wins people over instantly. He’s affectionate, people-focused, and happiest when he’s close to his humans, preferably on them if he can manage it. Despite his size, he firmly believes he’s a lapdog and will try to climb right into your arms for pets and cuddles.In the home, Fred is gentle, sweet, and very food motivated. He’ll plop under the breakfast table and sit politely, staring up with hopeful eyes, just in case a crumb might fall his way. Fred recently stayed in foster with another dog. He enjoyed the playful moments, but he seems more comfortable when he has his own space. He’s a sweet boy trying his best, and he’ll thrive with a patient home ready to give him consistency and care.All in all, Fred is a lovable, cuddly, goofy companion who is ready to be someone’s loyal, snuggly best friend. With the right home, one that understands his quirks and appreciates his big personality, Fred will shine.

Story
Acer is a shy but incredibly sweet girl who needs a patient, gentle home. New environments and handling can be overwhelming at first, but when given time and space, she shows her desire to be close to people. She enjoys food enrichment like snuffle mats and gains confidence through positive, low-pressure interactions.Acer prefers calm, gentle dog friends or may do well as an only dog while she continues building confidence.Acer is truly a lap dog at heart. When she feels safe, she loves being close to her humans, soaking up affection, and giving sweet kisses. Acer is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let her move at her own pace, celebrate small wins, and show her that love doesn’t have to be rushed. With time, kindness, and gentle guidance, Acer will make a deeply loyal and loving companion.
