Story
 Meet Blair, the adorable 2 1/2-year-old Pit mix with a heart full of love to give! At first, I may come across as a bit shy, but once I warm up to you, get ready to receive all the love and affection you can handle. I'm a charming female pup with a heart of gold. One of my absolute favorite things in the world is playing with other dogs. I'm a social butterfly and have had a blast playing with my furry friends at my foster mom's home. No issues to report here; I'm just a bundle of positive energy! Cuddling is another one of my specialties, and there's nothing I love more than snuggling up in bed with the almost teenager in my foster home. I'm the perfect companion for cozy nights in. While I'm great with older children who understand my gentle nature, those little ones tend to make me a tad nervous with their unpredictable noises. So, older kids would be a better fit for me. I'm your loyal shadow in the making! I'll follow you around and stay as close to you as possible because being by your side is where I feel safest and happiest. Not only am I a great companion, but I'm also quite well-behaved. I'm crate trained and have a spotless record when it comes to potty accidents in my foster home. But that's not all; I'm a quick learner! My foster mom has taught me the art of playing fetch, and I'm eager to impress you with my new skills. So, if you're looking for a loving, social, and affectionate companion who will be your faithful sidekick, look no further than me, Blair. Let's create wonderful memories together, one cuddle and game of fetch at a time. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143September 20, 2023, 1:23 pm

Story
HW NegativeMeet Rufus, the charismatic 1-year-old pit mix with a heart full of love and boundless energy! This young pup has come a long way, and his remarkable journey is a testament to his resilience and spirit. Rufus was rescued with some skin problems, but thanks to the dedication of his foster family, he has healed up beautifully. His silky coat now shines as a testament to his newfound health and happiness. Playtime is Rufus's absolute favorite pastime, especially when it involves a game of fetch. With his enthusiasm and zest for life, he'll keep you entertained for hours on end. But don't be fooled by his playful exterior; Rufus also has a gentle side. He adores cuddling up on the couch with his foster mom while they enjoy some quality TV time together. As a young pup, Rufus is still learning the ropes, so he'll need your patience and continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. When it comes to meeting new furry friends, Rufus prefers a gradual and gentle introduction, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and safe. In his foster home, Rufus has shown excellent manners in his crate, making him a breeze to care for. Due to his allergies, Rufus will need some extra care, including regular allergy medication like Benadryl. His paws occasionally turn a rusted red color due to high iron levels in food and tap water, but this doesn't dampen his spirit one bit. Rufus is a young, energetic, loving, and incredibly sweet pup who's exceptionally smart and food-motivated. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's already crate-trained and loves nothing more than to cuddle up with you, Rufus is the perfect match. All he needs is a little training and a lot of TLC to thrive and become your forever friend. Don't miss the chance to make Rufus a part of your family; he's ready to bring joy, love, and playfulness into your life!  September 20, 2023, 1:23 pm

HW Positive, currently in treatment Meet Hayley: A Resilient Heart warrior Looking for Love! Hi there, I'm Hayley, a 4 1/2-year-old Pit mix with a heart as big as my smile! Despite my heartworm-positive status, I'm not letting anything slow me down on my quest to find a forever home filled with love and cuddles. About Me: Breed: Pit Mix Age: 4 1/2 years Health: Heartworm positive, currently undergoing treatment Life in My Foster Home: I'm currently in a loving foster home where I share my space with other dogs, cats, and older kids. While I may need a little time to warm up to new furry friends and humans, with slow and proper introductions, I promise to be a loyal and devoted companion. Living with Heartworms: Yes, I am heartworm positive, but that doesn't define me or limit my zest for life! I'm in the process of receiving the necessary treatment, and I'll need a heartworm test six months after the treatment is completed to ensure I'm on the road to recovery. Works in Progress: I'm diligently working on improving my leash manners and curbing my enthusiasm to jump up when I get excited. With some patience, positive reinforcement, and consistent training, I'm confident I can become the best-behaved pup you've ever known. &#239&#184&#143 Couch Cuddler Extraordinaire: If there's one thing I adore more than anything else, it's attention and cuddling on the couch with my human. While toys are nice, there's nothing quite like the warmth and love of a good snuggle session. Your Potential Best Friend: Give me the chance, and I'll prove to you that I can be the most loyal and loving companion you've ever had. I'm eager to share my heart, my love, and my joy with someone who's willing to open their heart to me. If you're ready to give a heart warrior like me the forever home I've been dreaming of, please reach out to my caretakers. Together, we can make beautiful memories and embark on an unforgettable journey filled with love, cuddles, and companionship. Let's start our story together today! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143September 20, 2023, 1:23 pm

Meet Gus: The Charismatic Pit Mix Pup Hey there, I'm Gus, a sprightly 6-month-old Pit mix with a heart full of charm and a tail that never stops wagging! They say I'm an independent gentleman, but let me tell you, I've got a soft spot for people and treats – especially when I've been on my best behavior. Who can resist the allure of tasty rewards, right? I'm currently on a mission, and I'm acing it! Potty and crate training are my specialties, and you can count on me to keep things tidy around here. It's all about growing up to be a well-mannered pup, and I'm well on my way. Now, let's talk about one of my favorite things in the world – butt scratches! There's nothing quite like a good ol' scratch to make me melt into a puddle of pure joy. Trust me, I'll be your loyal companion in exchange for some of those sweet rubs. When it comes to my furry friends, I'm a bit of a slow burner. I do like hanging out with other dogs, but it takes me a little time to warm up to them. Patience is key, and with some gentle introductions, I'll be making new buddies in no time. My foster mom has been guiding me through the ropes of life, teaching me how to strut my stuff on a leash and master those basic commands. She's been showering me with praise because, guess what, I'm improving every single day. I'm a quick learner, and I'm eager to show off my new skills. So, if you're looking for a sweet, growing boy who's got the potential to become the best companion ever, that's me – Gus. Let's embark on this journey together, filled with adventures, treats, and butt scratches aplenty. I promise you won't be disappointed! #GusThePitMix #PuppyPerfectionSeptember 20, 2023, 1:23 pm

Meet Ginny: The Fearless Pit Mix Pup Hey there, I'm Ginny, the spunky 6-month-old Pit mix who's always up for an adventure! Born with a heart full of curiosity and a zest for life, I'm here to share my journey with you. Playtime Enthusiast One of my favorite things in the world is playing with my siblings. We roll, tumble, and chase each other around, creating a symphony of joyful barks and wagging tails. I've got energy to spare, and playtime is my absolute favorite pastime. Curiosity Is My Middle Name From the moment I opened my eyes, I've been on a mission to explore the world around me. Every new sight, sound, and smell fills me with wonder. Whether it's chasing a butterfly in the yard or investigating a mysterious crinkly noise, I'm always on the hunt for exciting discoveries. ‍The Bravest of Them All  While I adore my sisters, I've got to admit, I'm the bravest of the bunch. New situations don't scare me – they thrill me! I'm always the first to investigate the unknown and lead the way into uncharted territory. Sitting Like a Pro I may be a fearless adventurer, but I've also got some manners. I've already mastered the art of sitting on command, thanks to my dedication and my foster mom's patient guidance. Treats and belly rubs are my reward for a job well done! Potty and Crate Training Superstar In the world of puppy training, I'm a rising star. I've been working hard on potty training, and my success rate is something to bark about. Plus, I'm becoming quite the pro at crate training, which helps keep me safe and cozy when it's time to rest. Leash-Walking and More My foster mom has been teaching me all sorts of useful skills. I'm learning how to walk on a leash like a champ, and I'm getting the hang of other basic commands too. With each passing day, I'm improving and becoming the best version of myself. So, that's a little glimpse into my world. If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and fearless companion who's eager to learn and explore, I just might be the perfect pup for you. Let's embark on this adventure together! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143  September 20, 2023, 1:23 pm

His size can be imposing at first, but he is actually quite the opposite - mild-mannered, great on the leash, and good around other dogs. He LOVES his back scratches. His excitement to play with you can translate to a little jumpiness so he is not recommended for a family with small children. Come meet this handsome fellow!
