Story
We are looking to rehome our 2 yr old American Pitbull Terrier. He is very sweet, lots of energy and very friendly. He loves all human companions and does very well with our 3 cats (pretty much ignores them or offers them toys) He is 100% potty & crate trained. Want him to go to a good home that can give him the love and attention he deserves. They only reason we are rehoming is with our kids in after school activities and change is jobs we are not the best home for him. Would prefer someone with a yard or can go on walks. He is a good listener but is still young so can get excited and jumpy, some training would work very well for him. He is 2 years old, neutered & current on his shots. We had a Embark DNA done on him and he is 100% American Pit Bull Terrier. Rocki will come with: All of his toys & stuffies, dog bed, crate, tons of treats, food w/container, bowls, heartworm prev, vet/shot records w/emark info, Doggie toothbrush/toothpaste, Leashes/collar & treat bag & bandanas

Story
Parsley's story: Parsley's life had a sad beginning; he spend the first 9 months of his life in a small kennel, many of his basic needs denied to him. This poor guy was sold on Craigslist for $50, spent three years with his last owner, then was surrendered to us. Parsley needed a human(s) who won't let him down like all the others had.  Parsley loves to play with other dogs, and throws his weight around (all 75lbs.) when playing, so a dog with a similar play style would be most compatible, although he can be submissive as well.  Parsley is potty trained, crate trained and knowns lots of tricks: Look, Leave It, Come, Sit, Down, Place, and more. He is highly intelligent and food motivated, which makes training easy. We know the right home is out there, and we are committed to finding that special someone/family who can give him everything he needs for a happy life.  Are you the perfect forever home for Parsley?

Story
Maize's story: Give Maize a toy and he will be entertained for hours! This fun-loving boy has a lot of personality and just as much love to give! Despite a less than ideal start in life, Maize has flourished in our care and is now ready to find that special someone! Maize can be easily described as a dynamic dog, that likes to engage in zoomies and serious sessions of tug to burn energy. He would be perfect for someone with a moderately active lifestyle! This handsome boy has your quintessential big pitty head, that you will just love to pet! This friendly boy is working on his manners but loves everyone he meets! His heart is probably bigger than his head. We haven't had a chance to see Maize with children, so we we would want to make sure small kids were respectful and interactions were monitored. When it comes to other canines, Maize is a monogamous mutt who'd like an exclusive relationship with you! At the end of the day, he wants what every dog wants: a safe, comfortable home where he can be loved. Are you the perfect forever home for Maize?

Story
Choc is the cutest 'little' butter ball you ever did meet. Choc lost her home 2 years ago when her owner lost their home. She has been in our care and waiting for her chance at a home of her very own again since then. As an older gal that has waited a long time to find love it is sometimes hard to keep the faith but she is so full of love we know her forever people are out there. She loves her people and loves resting her head on you for attention. She is not shy about giving you a nudge with her big ole head if she thinks she deserves extra pets or belly rubs, which of course she does! She enjoys her walks around the neighborhood. She lounges on the couch all day when her foster goes to work and does a happy dance when she comes home to greet her. She is housebroken and rides well in the car. If you would like to meet this lovable meatball we will be glad to arrange a meeting. She does need to be the only pet in the home but with this adorable low riding hippo what else could you want? Thank you for your interest in Choc! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=15529 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Choc, or to submit an online application. HART adopts to the local DC/VA/MD metro area only. Visit our website for more information about our adoption process.

Story
Well, like Tom Cruise, who recently starred in the blockbuster movie Top Gun: Maverick, I, too, am a charming fella and a true delight. And, while I may not be a movie star, I can certainly be your hero, your partner, your best friend. And, in the maverick spirit, I aim to do good and am eager to please yet, value my independence and boundaries and, therefore, not suited for a family with young children. That said, I am very affectionate, kind of goofy, adventurous and would welcome walks and hikes to the destination of your choice. In addition to my spirited personality, at the risk of boasting, I am absolutely adorable. If you don't believe me, just look at my photos and you can see that I am the perfect size and not the least bit camera shy! I don't need Tom Cruise's fortune and fame or a maverick conquering the world. My needs are far more simple - a loving and understanding family and the comforts of home suit me just fine. Thank you for your interest in Maverick! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=16667 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Maverick, or to submit an online application. HART adopts to the local DC/VA/MD metro area only. Visit our website for more information about our adoption process.
