Story

Meet Groot Groot came to us as an owner surrender, and he’s got a personality that makes everyone smile once they understand him. Groot is very growly when he says hello — it’s just his way of talking. Don’t let the noise fool you, because behind the growls is a super nice, friendly boy. He’s one of those dogs who sounds tough but is actually a sweetheart once you give him a moment. Groot enjoys attention, warms up quickly, and loves being around people who understand that growly does not mean aggressive — it just means Groot is being Groot. If you’re someone who appreciates a dog with a little character, a lot of personality, and a genuinely good heart, Groot might be your perfect match. ##2636701##

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.*Thank you to Sharon for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving him the chance for a better life.March 7, 2026, 5:35 pm

Story

Available to foster or adopt!Breed: American Stafforshire Terrier / Bulldog X DOB: est 2/2016 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: short Size: medium Color(s): grey / white / tan 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 application. Hi, I'm Chula, a beautiful mostly American Staffordshire Terrier with some Bulldog, a bit of American Bulldog, and with a sprinkle of Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Neapolitan Mastiff (at least that is what my DNA report says) who is in need of a loving home. I was rescued from Animal Services where I was surrendered due to my owner moving and I couldn't go too. Animal Services had this to say about me. Chula is a petite lowrider looking for her new best friend! her owner was devastated to have to surrender her after moving and said this about her: 'Chula is protective over me. She's in tune with me when I'm sad and she's always there to comfort me. She's always playful and energetic. She's so silly and rolls around when playing.' Chula does have some fears and insecurities, especially meeting new people and having her shoulder and legs touched. In one of her homes, she was attacked by the resident dog that resulted in significant injury to her shoulder. Although her shoulder has healed well, this may be a contributing factor to her sensitivities and behavior with other dogs. It will take time, maybe even weeks, for her to become completely comfortable with a new person, especially men. She needs someone who can be patient and understand that she won't be ready to jump in your lap the first time you meet her. A quiet home with no little kids and few visitors will be the best place for her to feel safe and happy. She isn't the dog that wants to be the center of attention at a party - but she'd love to be your sidekick and give you all her love. She is working on feeling more comfortable around other dogs and has learned to tolerate wearing a muzzle to keep everyone safe if she needs to go to a vet or meet someone new and scary. If you have experience with insecure dogs, a quiet home and are looking for a partner to grow with, learn with, play with, train and love, please fill out an online application to meet her. *Thank you to the STARR Group for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving her the chance for a better life.March 7, 2026, 5:35 pm

I'm an active boy who is always up for an adventure and is hoping to find my forever home where I can be the center of attention. I am an affectionate soul who used to get along well with other dogs, but I've had some challenges recently and now prefer to be the only canine in the family. That being said, I get along fine with cats and kids, though I may do best in an adult-only home due to my active nature and strong voice. I love my toys and I'm always up for a game or a good cuddle on the couch. With my playful and affectionate nature, I am sure to bring joy and laughter to your home. I just need a family that can provide me with plenty of exercise and stimulation I need, including an extra-high fence to keep me safe and secure.I'm a smart boy who knows the commands 'come' and 'sit,' and I walk beautifully on a leash, making me a joy to take on outings. Oh, and did I mention I'm house-trained and crate-trained? I'll even let you know when I have to go outside. I'm basically the whole package! Now, there's one more thing you should know about me: I'm a bit of a barker. I like to think of it as my way of keeping everyone entertained and informed.If you're looking for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your days with love and laughter, I may be the one for you. I've got so much love to give and I'm ready to find my special person. Could you be the one?

Story

Meet Kermit Kermit is a ~1-year-old Boxer–Bulldog mix with the best combo of playful energy and loving charm. He’s currently located in Oregon, and while his brother already found his forever home, now it’s Kermit’s turn Kermit does best with slow, proper introductions to other dogs, and once he’s comfortable, he’s happy, goofy, and ready to play. He’s affectionate, fun-loving, and truly thrives on attention, connection, and lots of love. This sweet boy is still young and learning, and he’d do great with a family committed to continuing his confidence-building and giving him the affection he craves.
