Story
We acquired Bama from the Shelby Humane Society a year and 1/2 ago. She is a five-year-old blue nose pitbull. She had puppies before we obtained her, but has now been fixed. She needs a home where she is the only dog and is not around Children. She is good around adults. She is shy, Cuddly, and very smart. She is potty, trained, and knows basic commands. Overall, she is a great dog but she cannot be trusted around children or other pets. She is up-to-date on all of her shots. We recently found out that we are having a baby girl so we sadly are looking to rehome her because she is not great around children. She loved sun baking and catching bumblebees. She walks great on a leash and occasionally has the zoomies around the house. Her favorite snack is cheese!

Story
We adopted Walter from a shelter about 7 years ago, and he has been a great companion! We are expecting our third son at the beginning of May and are really looking to take a layer of stress off/have our house a little cleaner. His ideal place is inside, but he does well outside! He does get nervous during storms, but does fine inside. He doesn’t like being alone, nor does he like noises and people he can’t see (I.e. people inside while he’s outside, etc). He hardly ever meets a stranger, loves a quality chew toy, and will lick your legs to death if you let him! He loves large open spaces to run, and will come extremely quickly when you call him by name. We really don’t want to send him back to the shelter, but we need him re-homed quickly as we prepare for our new baby!

Buck is a playful love bug conveniently sized at 35 pounds who is very well behaved. He's totally trustworthy to roam the house when home alone.

If you would like a sweet sidekick to share life with, Buck just might be your match! He'd be the perfect dog for a family with kids. Est. birthdate is 3/7/2021, his $300.00 adoption fee includes vaccines up to date, neuter and microchip. Buck is ready to bless his person or family with all that he is!

Cocoa is a brindle beauty whose soulful eyes say be mine! Sweet as can be, she likes being petted and sleeping under blankets cuddled up with you. Coco is an easy cover girl to rock your Instagram and a nice work from home buddy too. Smart and a great listener, she minds sit, stay, and lay down commands, and has had some professional training. You'll like that she's cordial meeting new people and fond of children. Though she has lived in the company of other dogs, Coco would be most content as your one true love. Crate trained, but fully trustworthy when alone unsupervised. Her owner loved her very much, but due to their medical condition can't care for her so Coco finds herself looking for a new family. Est. DOB is 1/20/2017 house trained, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. Adoption fee $300.00. Once you meet Coco Chanel prepare yourself for a lifelong friendship!

Story
Ranger... easy like Sunday morning!! You might be thinking, “an older dog, nah” but hold on! Young in spirit, boyish in appearance, Ranger's not ready to cash in on senior discounts. One flash of his teddy bear eyes that say "hey, can we cuddle now?" and you'll realize you'd do anything for this boy. Like “Okay, here’s my wallet, my couch, my heart...take it all, buddy!” The perfect house guest in his foster home, a polite roomie with pooches, adores kids and already loves you! Super chill and flexible, Ranger is a snuggle snoozle bug extraordinaire. Very obliging, a champ on leash, a terrific side-kick in the car, crate and house trained. Isn't that what you're looking for in a best friend? Est. birthdate is 3/28/2013, 54 lbs., his $200 adoption fee includes vaccines up to date, neuter and microchip. Once you meet Ranger, prepare yourself for a lifelong friendship!
