Story
She is a goofball with a big heart she will go everywhere with you with a smile on her face! She loves people and being with her person always, she would need to be an only dog because I noticed she is aggressive with other dogs. She has some type of skin issue which needs looked at but other than that she easy going! Shes kennel trained as well, she is only 4 so she is still hyper so keep that in mind, I think she would do best with a home that she is the only pet in because she hates sharing attention even for a second.

Story
Ginger has been our family dog for 4 years we’ve had he since she was 8 weeks old. she is friendly and very active. She comes from a family that has children ranging from 8-18 she. Because she’s a pit she can sometimes scare people because she loves to jump on people. She has never bitten anyone. Due to our family separating we have to let her go. We would like for her to find a new loving home so that she can receive the love and care she deserves.

Story
My name is Alicia, and my foster saved me from being euthanized in a CA kill shelter. I am a 9 year old pittie, utd on shots, spayed, heartworm negative, loving, cuddly, and friendly to humans and have been around kids 10 and up but I am dog selective. I do the cutest trick, I will bring you the handle to my lead when I'm ready to go out to potty. My foster mommy has 4 doggies of her own, so cannot keep me since I have to stay in a bdrm away from the 2 dogs I don't get along with. I have chased her chickens but getting better about it. I need to be the only doggie in the home. My mommy is trying to integrate me into her pack, but would feel better if I could be with a family that would give me all their love so I can return it in kind!

Story
Hello, Alicia was going to be euthanized for space, at a shelter in CA. I read a posting for her on FB. I was able to contact a partner shelter that transported her to me, in Oregon. I am fostering her for that rescue. We were under the impression she was dog friendly. I currently have 4 dogs of my own. She likes 2 of my dogs but not the other 2. I have had her for 6 months now and she is making progress. She is great with humans and my BF's 10 yr old son. She loves her toy and is potty trained. She is 9 yrs old, 52lbs, spayed, utd on shots, heart worm negative and likes to be with her humans! She sleeps in her kennel at night. A foster or forever home, without other dogs, would be great. She ignores my kitty so good with kitties and has been around my grand babies, so good with children, also. We are having to keep her in a kennel in the living room with us. I think she would be much happier in a single dog home. If you are looking for a velcro doggy that adores you, she is the one!
