Rocko is a 2-year-old male pitbull mix who came from a rough, abusive background, but he has so much love to give once he feels safe. He is very loyal to his people and has a curious, playful personality when he opens up. Rocko is still working on his confidence. He’s crate-trained, likes having his own safe space, and does best with a calm routine. He can be shy at first and needs someone patient who understands dogs with trauma.

Story
Meet Canelo – The Wiggly Meatball with a Squeaky Bark & a Trust Fall Staffy / American Bully Mix | Neutered | House & Crate Trained If you’re looking for a low-rider goofball with a tough-guy bark and a marshmallow heart, say hello to Canelo — a short, stocky Staffy/American Bully mix who’s equal parts cuddle monster, body-slammer, and emotional support clown. He’s the kind of dog who chases a ball but never fetches, throws his weight into full-body chest bumps when he’s excited, and performs trust falls when it’s time to cuddle. Oh, and did we mention his bark sounds like a squeaky toy when he’s happy? But don’t let his funny antics fool you — Canelo is also: • Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped • Crate trained & house trained • Knows basic commands (still polishing his manners) • Highly treat-motivated Personality Snapshot: • Big bark when he hears noises — but immediately hides. Excellent “alarm system,” poor security follow-through. • Loves to cuddle and seeks close contact (sometimes a little too enthusiastically) • A little droopy in the best, bully way — full of jowls and floppy charm • Playful and goofy, but still figuring out how to manage his excitement • Body slams/chest bumps are his “love language” — his adopter will need to set boundaries while appreciating his… enthusiasm -Not cat-friendly -Dog-selective – May do well with the right dog and slow intros -Terrified of fireworks, thunder, and rain – needs a quiet, safe place to hide - Needs a very secure fenced yard or daily walks with a strong handler Canelo’s Perfect Match: • Someone who appreciates bully breeds and their quirks • A person or family willing to work on structure and basic manners • A home that understands how to balance play with calm • No small children, due to his enthusiastic “love slams” Canelo is a lovable, oversized ham who just wants to be included, cuddled, and guided. With consistency, patience, and lots of belly rubs, this blocky boy will make someone laugh every single day. To see more photos of Canelo, please visit his facebook album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.122202803306278069&type=3 If you are interested in adopting Canelo, please fill out our comprehensive adoption application! We are in the business of making the best matches possible so we need to get to know you too! https://forms.gle/A6G3cp1JCCXad8M97 *Please note that while this pet is listed in locally, however they are located in Tri-Cities.

Story
Meet Buster Meet Buster – The Underdog Who Just Needs His Person Pit Bull Mix | Neutered Male | Medium-Large | Healthy & Fully Vetted Buster’s story is one of resilience. Once on a shelter euthanasia list due to severe skin issues and stress-driven behavior, he was rescued and enrolled in nearly a year of professional board and train. With patience and structure, he’s become a healthier, happier, and more balanced dog — and now he’s ready for a home that truly understands him. The Buster You’ll Come to Know (If You Earn His Trust): Once Buster lets you in, he’s not just a survivor — he’s a total goofball. • He LOVES to fetch and will happily chase a ball • His absolute favorite thing in the world? Sprinklers and hoses! ? • Loves to roll on his back and melt into belly rubs and booty scratches • Will do a silly trust fall into your arms once he knows you’re safe • He’s happy, playful, and so full of life — but only when he feels secure Behavior & Training: Buster is trained, but still needs a very structured and experienced home. + Crate-trained + House-trained + Knows basic commands, including sit and shake before meals + Food motivated and thrives on routine + Must be fed separately — he has resource guarding with food and should eat away from other pets and people + Extremely gentle when taking treats Boundaries & Needs: • Slow to trust — especially with strangers and men • Bite history (from being crowded at an adoption event and officer not following the warning) • Cannot live in a high-traffic home • No young kids • May do well with calm, respectful dogs • Shows gentle interest in cats, but needs a slow, controlled intro and ongoing monitoring • Needs an adopter who will respect his space and never force interaction His Ideal Home: • Adult-only, low-visitor household • Calm, structured, and free of chaos • Experience with behaviorally complex dogs required • Fenced yard ideal for hose play and decompression • Possibly a home with a calm, neutral dog, but must feed separately (slow introductions) • A human who understands that dogs like Buster don’t need to be perfect — they need to be safe Buster’s Journey So Far: • Rescued off the euth list after shelter stress took a toll • Healed from skin infections and gained healthy weight • Trained for nearly a year in a structured program • Learned trust, boundaries, and how to be part of a routine • Still growing, still learning — still worthy of love In His Words (If He Could Speak): “Please don’t rush me. I’ve been through a lot, and I need to know I’m safe before I let go. But once I trust you — I’ll make you laugh, bring you the hose, and roll over for all the belly rubs you’ll give me. I don’t want the world — I just want one person who gets me.” *Serious, experienced adopters only. Buster is a dog who’s been failed before. He deserves someone who won’t fail him again.

Story
Meet Thor – Loyal, Low-Key, and Treat-Motivated Don’t let the name fool you—Thor is a gentle soul with a soft heart. Recently abandoned in a rural area and never claimed (no collar, no chip), Thor was rescued by good samaritans who kept him safe until they could surrender him to us. Now fully vetted, neutered, and ready for adoption, he’s looking for a home that will never let him down. Thor is a well-behaved, easygoing guy who is: - Potty trained - Crate trained - Walks well on leash - Motivated by food and praise He doesn’t always respond to commands right away—but wave a treat and he’s suddenly very interested in listening! Thor is great with other dogs, big and small, and very submissive even when challenged by pushier personalities. He’s not a fan of drama and avoids conflict. Unfortunately, he is not good with cats, so he’ll need a feline-free home. - Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped - Good with large & small dogs - Not good with cats - Good in the home – potty & crate trained - Energy level: Medium-low If you're looking for a fun, devoted companion who’s just happy to be safe and loved, Thor might be your perfect match. For more photos of Thor, see his facebook album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.122202814304278069&type=3 If you are interested in adopting Thor, please fill out our comprehensive adoption application!

Story
We adopted Chewie after he turned 1 through a friend that was moving to Japan and couldn't take him. He's been with us for 3 years. He's a sweet and loving boy who thinks he's small enough to fit on your lap. He loves attention and will follow you around all day if he can. When he's not acting like your shadow, he'll be snoring all day. He loves roughhousing but knows when it's too much. He grew up with our cats and lets them bully him. He does prefer women more but will warm up to a man in his own time. We think it's best for him to be the only dog because of him being needy but that still depends on who will adopt him if he can get along with their dog/cat. Unfortunately, we're also moving and won't be able to take him with us as we're downsizing due to personal and financial reasons. We just want him to go to a family that will shower him with all the love and affection that he deserves.
