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.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

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

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.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

Alden is a young, energetic, playful pup who’s still learning his manners and will benefit from continued training and structure. He’s curious, social, and loves staying busy. He’s housebroken and can be left alone for short periods without issue. Alden would do well in most home environments and gets along great with kids and other dogs. He hasn’t been cat-tested yet.
