Story
This handsome guy loves to snuggle and take sniffy walks. It takes a brief second for him to warm up, but then he is your best cuddle bug.Emmit has found shelter life stressful, and this may continue while he transitions to a new home. This has presented as being worried/fearful of new places and environments as well as initially struggling to meet strangers or participate in invasive handling.Emmit could likely do well with a well-matched dog and tools for separation and management if necessary. If not at home, he would enjoy having dog friends. He will likely do well with kids who can give space when needed and allow Emmit to settle in to his new home.Emmit will thrive in a calm, supportive environment to help him in his transition.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This bouncy beaut is Princess! She`s 8 years old, but nobody told her that - she`s a bundle of energy who loves playing with squeaky toys, hanging out with dog friends, and jumping up to give kisses. Princess is still working on her manners, and is looking for a patient adopter who`s prepared to manage the environment to help support her needs. She has big feelings when she sees other animals, and her new owner should be ready to help her disengage from tempting squirrels and exciting dogs when out on walks. She wants to explore the whole house, but is still learning to keep all four paws on the ground - luckily she`s more than open to other outlets for her energy, including sniffy walks, playtime, and long-lasting chews. She understands the value of a nice comfy bed, and will make herself at home for solo naptime once her needs have been met. Princess could live with a well-matched dog friend, given a proper intro (which we`re happy to help with!) and appropriate management in the home. She has a history of living with cats in a foster home, but was very interested in their stuff, and would benefit from her own separate space.

Story
Meet Hunter! He came to us from Philadelphia, and has been through some big transitions recently. Sometimes he can be nervous around new people, but he warms up quickly, and is such a cuddle bug once comfortable! This guy is a smart cookie, too - he`s always eager to train and show off his excellent leash walking skills. He`s still refining his manners, but here`s a pro tip: ask him to show you his flawless `sit` (he`s proud of this one!), and he`ll be ready to train again! Hunter enjoys bouncy play with other dogs, and could live with a dog sibling if it`s a good match. Resident dogs are welcome to come meet him at the shelter prior to adoption.

Story
Meet Frisco! This sweet little man came to us from Philadelphia, where he spent several weeks with a foster family. Thanks to them, we know that he is housebroken and crate trained, very snuggly, and loves long sniffy walks with his people! Frisco can be nervous in new places, or around new objects or sounds, but if you take it slow and stay by his side, he will bravely investigate and take comfort in your presence. He loves giving kisses, and greets everyone with big bum wiggles and adorable pointed ears! Frisco has met some other dogs in our care, and coudl live with another dog if it`s a good match. We’ve observed that he prefers a slow introduction and more mellow energy - he’d rather sniff and coexist than romp and wrestle. Here’s a note from Frisco`s fosters: “We would love to see him find a forever that will give him the joys of being a younger pup but show him the warmth of a touch or a good snuggle. The love you give to him is the love you will get in return. We will miss him dearly.”

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Blessings! This playful girlie loves to zoom around the yard and chase her favorite toys. She’s full of energy, and would make a great companion for someone active and outdoorsy. Blessings is pretty excitable, so her adopter should continue her training and help her learn to settle down for quiet time. Once she`s ready for a nap, she loves nesting in big cozy blankets. She has big feelings about the volume of dogs at the shelter, and we think she’d thrive as an only dog, but canine siblings aren’t off the table - they’ll just need to come meet her at the shelter prior to adoption, to ensure it’s a good match.
