Buffy

Pit Bull Terrier Catahoula Leopard Dog

Female, 7 yrs 8 mos
West Warwick, RI

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details

Story
Buffy is well known to our rescue, coming to us from Houston six years ago, and now finds herself back with us through no fault of her own. She was adopted by a volunteer who eventually went on to found a grooming shop, naming it after her....Buffy's Bubbles :) But starting a business during Covid was hard to recover from, and she has had to close shop, now finding herself between residences and needing our help. Buffy is used to being a loved pet and is thereby now available for adoption, this preferable to being stuck in foster care indefinitely. Personality plus, Buffy, a striking mocha merle Catahoula/Pit mix, is a very tidy size at only 20" at the shoulder, and at age seven is the perfect medium....she still has verve and is up for whatever you are into (loves hikes and adventures), but also loves to snooze curled on the couch next to you. She is definitely a more mellow version than when she was first with us, lol!, and comes with all the perks one would expect an established pet to have - housebroken, crate trained, good on a leash and overall easy to handle. She will bark hearing outside sounds, but her bark is soft and she is overall not very noisy. Buffy loves all people, greeting everyone with enthusiasm and a purity of heart. and is a very social girl with endless charm. She is just a treat to hang out with! While she has lived with other dogs for years, due to occasional incidences where she has gotten overstimulated in arousing situations with a fight ensuing, she should be in an only pet home, although in terms of being out and about and going to places other on leash dogs frequent, she certainly can attend. She is better on leash walks than being put out in a yard as in the past she has lived next to dogs who were fence fighters, and as a consequence can get a little riled up behind a fence line, proving far more relaxed and enjoying herself walking on leash. If you enjoy long walks, she is the perfect dog for you. Current on her vet work, and of course spayed, Buffy is all set to go on her next adventure. Her adoption fee is $450. For questions, or to request an application, please contact Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com. Due to state restrictions, we unfortunately cannot adopt to Massachusetts or New Hampshire residents.

Story
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, adventure-ready, tail-wagging bestie—JJ is your guy! This 1-year-old ray of energy had a loving home, but when his owner left for active duty, he found himself waiting for a new family to love. JJ is the perfect sidekick—he’s up for road trips, pet-friendly outings, zoomies in the yard, and all the belly rubs you’re willing to give. He’s great with other dogs, loves his toys, and will keep you smiling with his sweet antics. Plus, he’s not too big, has been well cared for, and loved so much that we even have an offer to help with his adoption fee!

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 9 mos

Story
Marcie is an absolute doll. This sweetheart was rescued from a sad situation where the owners were not taking good care of her. But within a short period of time, she gained weight and her hair grew back in. Now she's this beautiful, smiling girl who absolutely loves being around people and charms everyone who meets her.   She loves to talk to people and is very vocal. Marcy gets along well with other dogs, but she can be dominant when it comes to meal time, so we generally feed her separately. Other than that, she's a team player. All of her shots are up-to-date and she is spayed. She's currently on heartworm prevention and has tested negative for Heartworms. If you're looking for a dog with lots of personality, this is your girl! ##2303912##
