Through no fault of his own, this sweet little pitty is sadly searching for his third home—and he truly deserves for this next one to be the one.Opie is all the good puppy things wrapped into one tiny body: curious, affectionate, and eager to love. He’s the kind of pup who melts into your arms after playtime and looks at you like you’re his whole world. Despite the upheaval he’s experienced, Opie remains gentle, trusting, and full of hope.He’s still just a baby, ready to learn, grow, and bond with a family who will give him the stability and patience every puppy needs. With consistency, love, and a little guidance, Opie is going to grow into an incredible companion.If you’re looking for a loyal best friend and are ready to commit to a lifetime—not just a phase—Opie is waiting for you.

Story
My name is Alicia, and my foster saved me from being euthanized in a CA kill shelter. I am a 9 year old pittie, utd on shots, spayed, heartworm negative, loving, cuddly, and friendly to humans and have been around kids 10 and up but I am dog selective. I do the cutest trick, I will bring you the handle to my lead when I'm ready to go out to potty. My foster mommy has 4 doggies of her own, so cannot keep me since I have to stay in a bdrm away from the 2 dogs I don't get along with. I have chased her chickens but getting better about it. I need to be the only doggie in the home. My mommy is trying to integrate me into her pack, but would feel better if I could be with a family that would give me all their love so I can return it in kind!

Story
Hello, Alicia was going to be euthanized for space, at a shelter in CA. I read a posting for her on FB. I was able to contact a partner shelter that transported her to me, in Oregon. I am fostering her for that rescue. We were under the impression she was dog friendly. I currently have 4 dogs of my own. She likes 2 of my dogs but not the other 2. I have had her for 6 months now and she is making progress. She is great with humans and my BF's 10 yr old son. She loves her toy and is potty trained. She is 9 yrs old, 52lbs, spayed, utd on shots, heart worm negative and likes to be with her humans! She sleeps in her kennel at night. A foster or forever home, without other dogs, would be great. She ignores my kitty so good with kitties and has been around my grand babies, so good with children, also. We are having to keep her in a kennel in the living room with us. I think she would be much happier in a single dog home. If you are looking for a velcro doggy that adores you, she is the one!

Story
Rhody is a great dog, 6 years old, very loving, playful, cuddly, energetic, uses dog speech buttons, knows all the basic commands, all the basic tricks, plus "kiss", "hug", "whisper", and "go find..." If she had it her way she would play fetch all day long then cuddle under the comforter with you all night. She is food and toy aggressive to kids, cats, and dogs. She was amazing when it was just me and her. We need to find her a home who understands the risk because otherwise I'm being advised to euthanize her. I don't believe she is dangerous. She doesn't deserve to be put down for being reactive or protective when it is easily managed when she is with someone who doesn't mess with her. She needs a one person household. Someone who will take her hiking, fetch, cuddle and repeat. She comes with all her things (kennel, leashes, toys, etc). Please help me find my girl a safe home. She is too smart and loving to be put down. If you have any questions or want to meet her please let me know.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Hades is a very sweet very loyal dog. He is almost 9 years old but still acts like a puppy, I have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He was attacked by a dog around 4 years old and ever since then he is extremely aggressive and reactive with other animals. He has had a few incidents with other dogs, it is to the point I cant walk him and he uses a separate entrance and muzzle at the vet to avoid any more incidents. I am going through a separation and unfortunately unable to keep him due to moving. He loves to cuddle, he will lay in bed or on the couch with you all day. He loves to swim and play fetch. He needs a home with absolutely no other animals, no kids, an owner who understands his very specific needs and a very secure fenced yard. He is not a dog that can be taken on trips or into public places but he is an amazing dog that I love very much and I want him to be able to enjoy the rest of his years in a loving safe environment.

Story
Ginger has been our family dog for 4 years we’ve had he since she was 8 weeks old. she is friendly and very active. She comes from a family that has children ranging from 8-18 she. Because she’s a pit she can sometimes scare people because she loves to jump on people. She has never bitten anyone. Due to our family separating we have to let her go. We would like for her to find a new loving home so that she can receive the love and care she deserves.
