Story
I am trying to find a home for Chop. Chop is my Mom’s dog. My Mom is almost 70 years old and her health has declined severely in the last 6 months. Chop is currently living chained up outside because my mom can no longer bring him in and out of the house. She has fell twice leading to an injured shoulder and hip decreasing her ability to walk. Chop is an old sweet man as I like to call him. He loves people and kids. He likes cats and small dogs. He is very friendly. Chop is strong to be 11 years old. Please help us find Chop a home before surrendering Him to animal control is the only option.

Story
Meet Genesis: Strong, Sweet, and Always Watching Out Genesis is a 110-pound brindle pitbull mix with a calm, wise soul and a heart full of quiet love. She and her brother Waffles were found beside their late owner, refusing to leave his side after he passed. Since that heartbreaking moment, Genesis has remained a steady, grounded presence—always looking out for those she loves. She’s independent and thoughtful, happy to lounge outside and watch the world go by. When she’s ready for affection, she’ll nudge you gently for pets and love. Genesis is fully potty trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is content being home alone during the day. She doesn’t need constant attention—just a home that feels safe and a person she can trust. Genesis is used to being the “big sister”—sharing food, giving up her bed, and always checking in. Now, she’s ready for a home of her own, where she can soak up the spotlight and continue blossoming into her own. She walks well on leash, is food-motivated and trainable, and thrives in a peaceful environment. Like her brother, Genesis is selective with other dogs, so she may prefer to be your one and only pup—but with a heart like hers, she’ll be all you need. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion with quiet strength and a big heart, Genesis is ready to start her next chapter—with you.

Story
Meet Waffles: A good boy, who's had it rough. Waffles is a 70-pound silver pitbull mix with the heart of a teddy bear. His story began with heartbreak—he and his sister Genesis were found keeping watch by their owner, who had passed away outside of his tent. Since then, Waffles has been in foster care, patiently waiting for a new chapter to begin. Waffles is a certified snuggler. He lives for love and affection—whether you’re relaxing on the couch or just passing by, he’s always up for some cuddles. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps well through the night, and is content when left home alone (especially if his dog bed is cozy and the vibes are calm). One of his favorite things? Bouncing up and down the stairs just for the fun of it. Recently, Waffles had a few low-grade mast cell tumors removed. He’s recovering beautifully and still full of joy, love, and curiosity. His adopters should be prepared to keep an eye on his skin and stay in touch with a vet for any future concerns—but for now, he’s doing great and loving life. Waffles does well on walks, enjoys the fresh air, and is food-motivated and trainable. He prefers to be the only dog in the home (unless carefully matched), but his affection for humans knows no bounds. If you’re looking for a deeply loyal, low-key companion with a heart full of love and a snuggle quota that never runs out—Waffles might just be your guy.

Daisy is a very loving and cuddly 7 year old pitty. She loves to lay in bed (especially under the covers) and loves to chew on bones or anything she can get the stuffing out of. She is crate trained and house trained. Other dogs make her nervous so a household without other dogs would be perfect.

Story
To begin the adoption process, please fill out the SOTB Adoption Application completely. Once your application has been submitted, our Adoptions Team will be in contact shortly to set up a phone interview and a home visit. Handsome Dash was found with his sister in someone's yard, what a nice surprise to wake up to! Ok, maybe not for the finder, because these two obvious littermates found their way to the local shelter pretty quickly. They were in rough shape, but everything was easily solved and now they're learning the ways of life and love in a people house. Dash is around 9 months old as of early October, and right around 40lbs. He's a super love bug who wants to be as close to his person as he possibly can be, typical pittie sweetheart. He's been doing a great job of learning all of his house dog manners, he's crate trained, he's doing great with housebreaking and he does his best to stick to his toys for chewing. For a pup his age, he's got pretty easy going energy level and is more than happy to chill with you to watch the game or go sun himself in the yard when nothing interesting is going on. He's great with dogs, cats and kids, but he is currently pretty afraid of men. We're not quite sure where he came from or what he's seen, but we've got several kind men who are showing Dash that the deep voice people are actually friends who can be trusted. We're just enchanted with this little dog and his big, kind heart. He's growing in confidence every day and he's ready for us to find his happily ever after. Dash has been going to work just about every day to meet new people and see new things, he's super affectionate once he knows someone's safe and he's having a blast discovering the world. He loves to play fetch and zoom around, then curl up with his foster mom for a good snuggle sesh. Does Dash sound like the kind soul you've been searching for? Visit southofthebully.com and fill out an adoption application, we'd love for you to meet him.Our adoption fee is $300. This covers spay/neuter, microchip, microchip registration, all age appropriate vaccines, and any needed vet care. October 8, 2025, 8:47 pm
