Story
Meet Marrietta A fluffy, soft-coated sweetheart with the spirit of an American Bully mix and the energy of a pup who’s just discovered the joy of zoomies. Around a year old (give or take), Marrietta is smart, food-motivated, and always ready for a good walk or a wild run. She’s great with other dogs — especially the chill, tolerant kind who don’t mind her playful button-pushing antics. While she gets along with everyone she meets, Marrietta definitely brings the spice, so a dog friend who can roll with her bold personality would be ideal. Marrietta is also refreshingly independent. She’s not the clingy, in-your-face affectionate type — she prefers doing her own thing and coming in for connection on her terms. If you appreciate a dog with a little autonomy and a lot of heart, she might be your perfect match. This bundle of love is ready to find her forever home — one that celebrates her quirks, fuels her adventures, and gives her space to shine! (Born Oct 2022)

Story
Cocoa is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix born on 10/17/2025 and currently weighs 13.2 pounds. She’s as sweet as her name suggests and the most playful of the bunch. Cocoa adores toys, especially anything she can play tug with, and she may even try to recruit your pant legs into the game. She’s full of joyful puppy energy and keeps herself busy with toys, games, and sibling play sessions. Cocoa is a big puppy expected to become a large adult dog, so she’ll thrive in a home excited to keep up with her energy and guide her through training as she grows. Her minimum adoption fee is $350 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Angel is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix born on 10/17/2025 and currently weighs 15.3 pounds. She’s the friendliest of the litter and already showing how smart she is. Angel is a bit gentler than her siblings and less “baby shark” when it comes to puppy nibbles. She loves interacting with people and becomes a total lovebug when she’s ready to cuddle. Angel is a big puppy expected to grow into a large adult dog, and she’ll do best with a family eager to continue her training and help her grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. Her minimum adoption fee is $350 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Peppermint is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix born on 10/17/2025 and currently weighs 15.1 pounds. She has loads of personality and absolutely loves people.
