MEET MEERA! Meera is a beautiful and small 5-1/2-year-old blue & white American Staffordshire Terrier in need of a forever home. She's currently in a foster home in Oregon! Meera is a fun-loving girl - she loves the ball, loves toys, loves to go for walks and loves to take naps! She's short in stature and weighs only about 45 lbs. Meera is a loving and cuddly girl and would do great with a single person, a couple, or a family with older kids. She would do well in a condo or apartment, too. She loves car rides, and loves to go out and about and enjoy the sunshine. She is not a fan of other dogs, so needs to be the only dog in the home. She's also got a prey drive, so no cats, please. Please email for an application! That's the first step to meeting sweet Meera. :)

Story
BROOKLYN BROOKLYN, or Brooky, as we like to call her is a sweet and spicy 45 lb little sausage girl. She is about 2-3 years old and full of character and fun. She is a beautiful roll polly playful brindle girl who loves tug and playing with her toys. She loves her people too and has been so happy to meet all our rescue volunteers and play with them. Brooky loves her walks and is so cute bouncing down the road with a little sashay, her booty wiggle, her tail wagging and her ears bopping up and down! So confident and happy its infectious and makes you smile! Brooky takes treats gently and knows what she wants but listens to her handler and is polite. She would love a home where she has a family that likes to go on walks and adventures as she loves exploring the world. She may be ok with another calm, polite dog in the home. to adopt Brooklyn please fill out an adoption application www.allforloveanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Story
I’m a sweet little low rider with a big heart and an even bigger smile! I came to HSVC through our Humane Officers, and I’m learning just how good life can be. Every day brings new adventures, gentle pets, and lots of love, and I’m soaking it all in.I’m a happy, wiggly boy who walks nicely on leash (with a touch of that bully-breed strength) and loves spending time with my people. I’ve shown great potential with other dogs and would likely do best in a home with older kids or teens.Life’s looking brighter every day, and I’m ready to find my forever family, one that’s full of kindness, belly rubs, and cozy spots to nap. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a zest for life, I think we’re meant to meet.

Available to foster or adopt!Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier / American Pit Bull X DOB: 4/2023 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: mediumSize: large Color(s): white/black Description:***Needs a Foster Home***This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online foster application.Hi, I'm Ketchup, a mostly American Staffordshire Terrier / American Pit Bull with Siberian Husky / Chow / Australian Shepherd / American Bulldog / German Shepherd / Neapolitan Mastiff and Bulldog according to the DNA test, who was rescued from a shelter. I may be a bit shy at first, those who have spent time with me describe me as a sweet and affectionate pooch.I was in a home for a short while and it was noted that I enjoy lounging on the couch or my dog bed. I will also sit politely by the door when I need to go outside. I know my name and seem very good at sitting. I did not beg while they ate, instead I went to the couch or my bed to wait until they were done. I would do best in a forever home with carpeted floors and a calm, gentle environment where I can feel safe and comfortable. They thought I seemed scared of the dark and I didn't warm up entirely to the male in the home. I may need some time to adjust to my new surroundings, but once I do, I will reward you with my love and companionship. I walk well with other dogs at the kennel and I was not dog reactive when out on walks while in the home, so if you have a fur baby in the home already, please bring him/her along so we can do a meet and greet. It is unknown if I get along with cats or how I would do with children.Give me a chance, you'll see that I'm a great dog who would love to find a forever home where I can live out the rest of my days in comfort and happiness. If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an online application.October 5, 2025, 10:45 pm
