Story
Misty, our beautiful fawn Pit Bull female, was rescued from the Wake County Animal Shelter in North Carolina in August of 2023. She was estimated at 3 years old. She is 60 lbs. Misty is happy, super sweet, trusting, and very affectionate! Misty has a lot of energy, and she loves getting exercise, whether running (her dad uses a hands free belt leash) or walking on a leash. When we rescued Misty we were amazed she was already 100% potty trained. A year later she still has never had an accident in the house! We also have a male cat and Misty and the cat get along super well and they play together daily. We are rehoming Misty because prior to her adoption in the summer 2023, in 2019 we had adopted another female Pit Bull named Sunshine. It turns out that Sunshine and Misty do not get along so well. After a year of trying to make things work, we have concluded its best for Misty to be rehomed with a kind family looking for a single dog who is trusting, super sweet, and loving!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › **Please read the full bio for Cooper ** Meet Cooper. Isn't he handsome? The pictures are great but honestly don't do him justice of just how handsome he is. He is ~63 pounds of smushy gray fur with white markings. He has the cutest little underbite. Cooper is looking for his forever home - one who is dedicated to just Cooper as he needs to be the only pet in the home. He is a smart boy - he knows sit, leave it, lay down, recall, & stay! He is a strong boy & needs an experienced handler that will continue to work on his manners & leash skills. In his original home, Cooper lived with 10 & 12 year-old boys from the time he was 8 weeks old until he was 11 months old & he loved them very much. He is equal parts active AND chill - he likes to lie down on his bed with a bone or yummy peanut butter & treat-filled KONG as much as he enjoys doing the zoomies in the yard. Playing fetch is his favorite pastime - tennis balls are a must in the new home. When he is done, he’s ready to lounge & is happy to hang out with you or by himself. A DNA test was done which says he is a mixture of Labrador Retriever, American Staffordshire Terrier, hound, & Chinese Shar Pei.   Cooper was adopted when he was a young puppy & was very loved. He was adopted into a home with a 2 year-old dog who was also a Pawfect Match dog. She loved him as a puppy, but started to indicate that she no longer wanted another dog in her home. They both had high energy play styles & a few play sessions escalated & were difficult to break up, with neither dog relenting. Cooper didn't take kindly to being told no by her & continued to assert himself. She then didn't take kindly to being ignored. It caused a stressful situation for both dogs. Because of this, it was decided Cooper needed to be the only pet in a furever home so was returned to the rescue. ***Cooper is the 'pawfect' match for a household with no other pets - an adopter looking for a wonderful, smart, handsome dog with so much to offer is who will be his pawfect match. Cooper needs a home with a true FENCED yard so that he can burn off energy & play fetch without the ability to get into trouble. Cooper is not going to be a candidate for a dog park or doggie daycare. Cooper received a good deal of training prior to returning but he will need an adopter who will commit to ongoing training & whatever he needs. Could YOU be that 'pawfect' match? Could you be the furever home for Cooper? Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 26, 2024, 5:10 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Hello, my name is Pudge! I am a spunky silly boy that just can’t get enough attention. I love my people and my foster sister! We love to play, run and chew on treats. I can be somewhat timid around people because I’m still not sure about them. Once I get attached to you, I'm your best friend and you are mine. I like being pet but I really love to play and to run! I’d love to be with someone who likes to play a lot and then snuggle up for a nap. Like any puppy, I do get into things I'm not supposed to. I'm learning what I can chew and what I shouldn't chew. I am pretty good with my housetraining, but due to my age still have occasional accidents. I do have one weird quirk. I only like to poop outside at night! I will go when I am running around outside but prefer the cover of the dark sky. Maybe my name should be Batman!  I'm already neutered and up to date on on vaccinations. I do need a home with another dog.

I am housetrained and crate trained. I am already neutered too! Foster dad says I walk very well on the leash and only pull if I see other dogs or birds.
