Story
Meet Sirius! He is a 5.5 year old German Shepard Pit mix who has lived with us since he was 8 weeks old. He currently lives with another dog and 7 cats. He is overall a good boy, but has a few issues. He is extremely active, and NEEDS to be able to run around/get his energy out or he will be destructive. He is overall good with other dogs and cats but has tendencies to be too rough sometimes when overly excited or when cats run. He has lived with chickens before, but would need retraining to not kill them. He potties in the house currently due to his situation, but he has been trained before, and would need retrained and worked with on marking. He has escaped harnesses, broken chains, ripped fencing out of concrete, escaped a cattle hot wired fence and shock collar. He is VERY determined, and impossible to be kept in a fence. All he wants to do is go hiking, run around, cuddle in bed, and play. Due to an injury, we are no longer able to give him what he needs, and he deserves better.

Story
Hank is a 2 year old American Pit Bull/Terrier mix. He does great with cats and kids. He does good with other dogs over time. He was found abandoned on a dirt road and is looking for his forever family. He does not share food well with other dogs but has never snapped at a person over food. He is actually very gentle when taking food from someone and doesn’t mind being pet or having his food bowl touched by someone. He is a little rowdy and needs some work with basic commands but sleeps in his crate at night without barking or howling.

Story
Cleveland is a strong guy that has overcome so much! He came to us as part of a cruelty case. He came in with 17 other dogs, 6 big dogs and 10 chihuahuas. They all lived in a backyard together and were forced to fend for themselves. He came to us heartworm positive but has completed his treatment and is now a survivor! Cleveland never strayed away from his love and trust towards people. He fully believes he is a lap dog and would love to be your forever cuddle buddy! He can look like he has a tough exterior but he is all mush on the inside, this guy is made up of all love! He is goofy, playful and is so much fun to be around. He has done wonderful with other dogs! He is an all star during our walking groups, he will walk with big dogs and small dogs and anyone willing to take him out. Responds to Hank!
