Story
Looking for a pit-mix smile to brighten your day? Come meet Nova. She's friendly, equally ready to flop down for a belly rub or do zoomies. Good-natured with everyone she meets - as long as they have two legs: she needs to be an ONLY PET in the house. She's got basic good manners and is ready to learn more. She does know she's the cutest thing you've ever seen, and when asked to "sit" she's happy to do a miniature version of a dancing circus horse. But she's learning the version of "sit" where her butt actually touches the ground and stays there, and we're working on "down." She does have a bad habit of dashing through doors, and if it's a door to the outside she's off and running. We're working on teaching her to wait at doors, but she needs a yard that is fenced so if she gets out ahead of you she's in a contained space.A lot of sweet dog in a pretty small package! Nice dog : )Interested in adoption? Contact PHS 315-265-3199

Story
Osa is 5-year-old Pit Bull mix and was found on the streets in Mexico with scabies and severe malnutrition. This girl is tough and survived despite it all and is now looking for her furever family! She would do great in a home with children as she loves and gets along with everyone! She is quite a character and very joyful and playful! She is full of energy and would love to run around and play with her human or siblings. Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things! Osa est une de Pit Bull mixte de 5 ans et a été trouvé dans la rue au Mexique avec la gale et une malnutrition sévère. Cette fille est dure et a survécu malgré tout et cherche maintenant sa famille pour toujours ! Elle irait très bien dans une maison avec des enfants car elle aime et s'entend avec tout le monde ! Elle est tout à fait un caractère et très joyeux et enjouée ! Elle est pleine d'énergie et adorerait courir et jouer avec ses frères et sœurs humains. Parfois, un chien prend plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous pouvez le voir montrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines ou même mois ! Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu'ils ont traversé avant d'être secourus, mais ils sont pleins d'amour et pardonne tout et cela vaut chaque moment difficile à la fin. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, patience, renforcement positif et l’amour sont les choses les plus importantes !

Story
Brownie is a case of not being born in the right place or time, she would have been a nanny dog or a war hero in an earlier time or had she been born here in Canada to being with, hopefully would have spent her whole life up to now in a loving home. That unfortunately was not the case for sweet Brownie who is a Pit Bull and has been at the shelter in Mexico most of her life and is now about 8 years old. Despite not having the best of luck on the family front, she has made so many friends living at the shelter! She loves being around anyone and gets along great with dogs, cats and children! She is a tough cookie though so she tends to be dominant with other dogs but also is very playful and social! She was found on the streets with severe malnutrition and nursed back to health at the shelter where she’s been ever since. She is a sweet pit bull mix and smiles to show you how happy she is to be near you! Unfortunately, it’s not easy for large breed dogs to find a home in Mexico so amazing dogs like this spend most of their lives in shelters being overlooked when they are the most wonderful pets and family members! Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things! Brownie est un cas de ne pas être née au bon endroit ou au bon moment, elle aurait été une chienne gardienne ou un héros de guerre à une époque antérieure ou si elle était née ici au Canada pour être avec, j'espère qu'elle aurait passé toute sa vie jusqu'à maintenant dans un foyer aimant. Ce n'était malheureusement pas le cas pour douce Brownie qui est un Pit Bull de 8 ans et a passé la majeure partie de sa vie au refuge au Mexique. Bien qu'elle n'ait pas la meilleure des chances sur le plan familial, elle s'est fait tellement d'amis qui vivent au refuge ! Elle aime être avec tout le monde et s'entend très bien avec les chiens, les chats et les enfants ! C'est une dure à cuire, donc elle a tendance à être dominante avec les autres chiens, mais elle est aussi très joueuse et sociale ! Elle a été retrouvée dans la rue avec une malnutrition sévère et a été soignée dans le refuge où elle se trouve depuis. C'est un doux mélange de pitbull et sourit pour vous montrer à quel point elle est heureuse d'être près de vous ! Malheureusement, il n'est pas facile pour les chiens de grande race de trouver un foyer au Mexique, alors des chiens incroyables comme celui-ci passe la majeure partie de leur vie dans des refuges en étant négligés alors qu'ils sont les plus merveilleux animaux de compagnie et membres de la famille ! Parfois, un chien prend plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous pouvez le voir montrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines ou même mois ! Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu'ils ont traversé avant d'être secourus, mais ils sont pleins d'amour et pardonne tout et cela vaut chaque moment difficile à la fin. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, patience, renforcement positif et l’amour sont les choses les plus importantes !
