Story
Bella is a large German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix who would love to be your lapdog. She loves her walks and does great on the leash. She is patient with kids who like to play with, hug and lay on her. Bella wants to be friends with our cat, but he is just a grumpy old man and not interested in playing. She has a hard time when new people come to the house and will need some training to correct that behavior. Due to her breeds she also needs a lot of exercise to wear her out. She is a sweet dog but with two young kids and busy schedules, we don’t have the time to devote to keeping up with training her.

Story
Meet Swiper – A Loyal, Playful Companion Ready for His New Home! Swiper, a Texas rescue, may be a mix of Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, and Golden Retriever. He’s full of energy and loves fetch with his favorite ball and squeaky hamburger. Cuddly and affectionate, he enjoys being scratched on his back legs and thrives on attention. Swiper’s incredibly smart, learning commands like “sit,” “down,” and “go find your toys.” While raised with another dog, he’s recently developed some protective tendencies, especially around food or when receiving affection. Due to this, we believe he’d do best in a home as the only dog, with someone who’s active, patient, and experienced with handling dogs with behavioral challenges. Swiper is great with kids and kittens, but not smaller dogs. He’s loyal, loving, and needs a dedicated home where he can be the center of attention.

Story
Freya is likely a purebred German Shepherd (not 100% positive/ no papers). She turned 9yrs. 7/20, 2024. I took her in for a young girl who was leaving for college a couple years ago, but I am gone a lot and believe it would be best if she had an owner who could give her more love and attention than I can. Probably best if she was the only dog so she can graze and eat her food. She plays with my other dog a little bit but he tries to eat her food and just runs circles around her…. she’s more chill. A home with a decent backyard, ideally with some grass and shade. I have a doggie door that she currently uses to go out anytime she likes; she loves to sunbathe (even in the middle of the summer). She sounds protective of her owner with a scary bark but yet is really a big scaredy cat and will cower away at the same time. She needs a strong and loving pet owner that will give her the love and attention she needs. If matched, I will give her records, food bowls, some food, toys, leash etc…

Story
Hi, my name is Kona! I am a 4 year old Plott Hound/Pit Mix! I have been with my foster family for 8 months now and I'm ready for my furever home! My story has a sad start, I was passed around the homeless community before eventually being abandoned. I stayed in the shelter for 6 months until my foster family brought me home to get me back on track! I have never had an accident or chewed anything up. I was able to de-stress and learn how to be a dog again. Thanks to training from One Love Pitbull Foundation I was able to learn and practice manners. Ive had lots of improvement on my resource guarding but I do sometimes get a little defensive over my food. Im still learning and practicing though! I enjoy being an active pup but also just lounging around. I enjoy cuddles but also my own space. I would recommend that I'm an only dog, but I have shown extensive growth with my foster families dog. Due to the resource guarding I would recommend older children!
