Story

Meet Roman! How often do you think about the Holy Roman Empire? Not often enough? Maybe Roman can help remind you about the strength and beauty and ancient Rome. Once you meet him, he'll be all you're thinking or talking about because, really, how can you not be obsessed with Roman? He's a big boy who just wants all the love. He gets along with everyone he meets but he does like jumping up to give face-kisses, so older kids would be best for him. He loves to put his toys right next to your feet so you can kick them for him to chase. Roman's ideal home would be as the only pet. He is house trained and spends most of the day lounging on his bed, so he would be able to do well in most homes. **if you are interested in meeting Roman, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours Wednesday-Sunday 12-4**

Skittles

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, Adult

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Meet Skittles! At first glance, Skittles seems like a sweet, shy, and gentle dog and while she is all of those things, once she feels comfortable with you she'll reveal she'll show you everything else there is to love. She's a bouncy little bean and she loves nothing more than sprinting around the yard to get all the zoomies out. Skittles loves play bowing and tug and if you're not careful she just might steal the treats from your pocket. Skittles has been through a lot during her short life - a hoarding case and then months in the shelter system - so she will need someone who goes slow with her and gives her time to feel comfortable. She does well with dogs and has an unknown history with cats. **if you are interested in Skittles, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours (Wednesday-Sunday, 12-4)**

Meet Allister! Have you ever seen a more handsome boy? Allister is around 4 years old and cant wait to go home! He loves his playtime in the yard and loves a good hike!

It would be best that Allister goes home with teens and older as he could use some work on his leash walking skills and can get jumpy at times.
