Story
Olive is spayed, chipped, up to date on vaccines and weighs 75lbs. She knows sit, stay, shake, touch, roll over, lay down, gentle and continues to be eager to learn. She is also in the process of muzzle training and doing well so far. She is also crate trained but is safe to be out of the crate when at work once she is comfortable. She has not had any accidents and has not gotten into anything she isnt supposed to. Olive loves to cuddle and will find a comfy spot close to her humans while they cook or clean but also enjoys playing tug and we have done some agility with her which she enjoyed. Olive LOVES when you sing to her especially songs about how pretty she is. She is vocal and will happy growl when you get home from work with a wagging tale and a toy in her mouth. She is ready for a home where she can get all the love and be the princess that she is.

Story
Sadly we need to rehome our baby. He has been such a big part of our family since we adopted him in July of 2023. We just welcomed our second baby and our hands are so full and we do not have the time to give him the love he needs. He is great with small children, cats, and other dogs. He loves to cuddle, go for car rides, and walks. He is house trained and never has had an accident in our time of having him. He is crate trained and loves his kennel. He is extremely food motivated. Not aggressive when eating. He does not play with toys much. He does not jump unless you call him up. He is such an amazing boy and I just want him to get the love he deserves.

Scampy

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 mos
Tacoma, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Scampy is super sweet and very smart. We were initially told he was blind, but it appears he can see some shapes or shadows. He's already learned the layout of the first floor of our house, and can now walk himself back to the back patio and up the stairs to the back door by himself! He's now working on learning how to go up our big staircase. He's very playful and uses his teeth a lot, as puppies do. Our older pups are teaching him manners and he's learning very quickly. Since he can't see well, he does use his teeth a lot more to figure what things are and to interact more. He does tend to bite and hold on while he's discovering and learning, so he may not be best around small children at this time. He does love to cuddle and nap (this baby loves to be swaddled.). He responds well to "watch out" and "careful" if you noticed he may walk into something. He'll slow down and go slower. We us the prompts "up" if he has to step up a curb or stair, and "down" for down a curb or stair. If he's jumping up, we use "off", so as not to be confused with the down command.
