Story
Winston, male pit bull mix (amputee) Winston was shot with a 12 guage rifle in November of 2015. He lost his leg because his owner failed to keep him in a safe environment (fenced yard). While he was wandering the area, he was shot in the leg. Unfortunately, he lost his leg, and his home after that, as his owner couldn't take responsibility for his vet care either. Winston is a ton of fun. He plays ball like a champ, click here to see him go! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=915137805263915&id=381107812000253 He's not so good with other dogs, but he loves men, women, and kids!! Winston has a requirement for a fenced yard, and no other pets. He has accepted neighbors dogs after some time getting to know them through the fence in his foster home. He knows sit, fetch, leave it, and is house trained, crate trained (iif needed, but he's generally a good boy), neutered and a big lover.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
It's a long story but he was originally acquired for my granddaughter in 2016. He ended up with me. He's always been high energy. I love him but I'm 62 years old and disabled. I have osteoarthritis. My knees and back make it challenging for me to take care of myself. And he needs someone active and energetic. Even at his age. He's 9 years old and he deserves exercise and walks and play time. He needs attention. I'm tired and I just don't have the income to pay someone to attend to his needs.

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
The previous owner is sick and no longer healthy enough to care for Bruno. I'm fostering until I can find him a forever home. Bruno has high energy in the mornings and loves showing affection. He has had two different previous owners and I'm fostering him now so it's his third home. He is desperate for affection and acceptance at times. He loves to play and burn off his energy by playing ball or running around the yard. He does a cute bunny hop when he runs! So a place with a closed-in fence or safe dog park is ideal for Bruno. However, he is pretty chill after eating in the morning. He LOVES food! He jumps up and down at mealtime! He would be a great guard dog. Lots of people walk by our house each day, however he only barks at some of them. I think he senses who is suspicious and who's kind :)! He does not trust the vet and needs downer pills before visiting so he's calm. I am fostering him, however, I'm leaving the country on Feb 15th and need to find him a home by then.

Petey

American Pit Bull Terrier Mutt

Male, Young
Detroit, MI
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
We adopted Petey in September 2024, when he was about a year old. Petey is crate-trained and house-trained, and incredibly food motivated. He has been through 1 round of basic manners obedience training, and is scheduled to start intermediate manners in March. However, Petey is a very active dog and we're having a hard time keeping up with him! Petey has been to daycare and dog parks and has a good time, and I think Petey could live with the right dog with a slow, proper intro. We have a toddler that Petey does pretty well with, but I think Petey might be best suited for a family with older kids. Petey is incredibly sweet, loves to cuddle, and loves all kinds of people. I think Petey could thrive in right environment, but he needs a very active person or family to keep up with him.

Story
Calypso was rescued by one of my friends and she was unable to keep her. She brought her to me and we fell in love immediately. She is the sweetest girl and will melt your heart. She’s very anxious and fearful so she requires a little extra love and care. She’s very stubborn and a huge ball of energy. She will do best in a home with lots of space to run around. She will come with her crate and a box full of her favorite toys and blankets. Especially her favorite red croc!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Energetic. Good with kids. Very affectionate. Beautiful looking dog. Quiet (Little to no barking). This describes Alpha! He is 4 months old. My wife and I adopted him in December and he has been a complete joy to my wife and family (i.e children). He is currently up to date with all his shots. We equipped him with all the tools, beds, toys, food, shelter, clothes. You probably thinking what is the problem? Why surrender him if he is all these wonderful things. Well he is. But truthfully both my wife and I work full time jobs. And we were empty nesters till our oldest child became pregnant with child. I just want Alpha in a safe loving home. This was my first time having a pet, But I'd rather him grow up with a supportive patient loving family then neglect a beautiful being because of my workload. Please understand I tried to make this work.
