Story

Bikini came to us from a small rural shelter where her chances of getting out were very slim. She is a 2 yr old pit/catahoula mix and don’t let her breeds fool you. She’s a total couch potato! She has her moments of zoomies but they don’t last long. While she does live in a foster home with other dogs of all sizes, she is the queen bee and can be a little bossy so she is looking for a home with no other dogs. She loves all people she meets and she is potty trained and crate trained. She has good doggie manners but needs some work on her leash training. She is a puller on the leash but we’ve seen a lot of improvement with the ez walk harness. Bikini is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, heartworm test and spay.

Story

Have you ever heard the saying "pitties want to wear a skin suit?". We're convinced it was created for Al. He may be large, but he definitely identifies as a lap dog. There is nothing more in this world that Al would prefer to do than snuggle with his people all day long. He has great house manners and is trustworthy to be left free roaming while you're at work or running errands. Al also has great leash manners and is non reactive, doesn't pull, and doesn't chase small critters. He's been very respectful of his senior foster sibling and doesn't attempt to rough house with him, and also has made friends with other dogs in the neighborhood. Al is a such a great dog and has so much love to give!Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.

Kevin

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kevin is a young, compact pittie mix with a sweet soul and a playful streak. He’s crate trained, house trained, sleeps through the night, and is the ideal work-from-home buddy—quiet, mellow, and happy to snooze by your side while you take calls and get things done. But don’t worry—Kevin exhibits no separation anxiety. He’s perfectly content hanging in his crate or relaxing solo when you head out, and he hasn’t shown any destructive behavior when left outside the crate, either. Kevin lives peacefully with a female dog and gets along great with other pups. Kevin would do best in a home with a confident pup to follow around. He already knows sit, wait, and crate and is working on shake and lay down. He’s food-motivated and highly trainable, and his leash manners improve every day. A little timid at first, Kevin would do best in a home that will understand that he acclimates slowly. Once he feels comfortable, he’s a pup that can totally accompany you on your adventures, but would do best in a home that will go slowly with him. Once you're in, he’s affectionate, cuddly, and easy to handle—he tolerates paw wipes, wears clothes and bandanas like a pro, and just wants to be part of the pack. He’s ready for a forever home that will keep building his confidence and show him just how good life can be. Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.

Quinn

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Size

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looking for a loyal companion to join your family? Miss Quinn could be the gal you’ve been waiting for! This 2 year old pocket pittie has it all- she’s got spunk, velvet soft fur, the cutest pirate patch marking, and has all the love in the world to spoil her future family with. Here are just a few boxes she’ll check off for you: Potty trained. Quinn already knows how to take care of business and only needs a few breaks a day. Loose leash walker. She won’t be dragging you across the street so you can enjoy your walks together. Plus, she’s got the cutest little lady strut in town! Cat friendly! Medium energy. Treat and affection motivated so she is very trainable! An absolute cuddlebug who would love nothing more than to end her days snuggling with (or sometimes, on top of) her people. Quinn is a bit slow to warm up to new people in her home, but once you’re in, you’re IN. Quinn would do best in a quieter environment and with a family that understands she prefers slow intros to new people, especially when those intros include yummy treats. Quinn is currently living with another dog. We will place her as a solo pup, just because she requires slow intros to new dogs. We believe that wherever adopts her could add another dog to their family, but we prefer she starts off solo to get all of your attention. Quinn is great at events at breweries and wineries and patios, but would just prefer distance from new dogs because she’s a little fearful at first. But if you are okay advocating for space, she could totally accompany you on outings. She loves and trusts her people so much. Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.
