Loving and energetic American Pit Bull Terrier Ready for a New Home Meet Bailey, a sweet and spirited one and a half year-old American Pit Bull Terrier in search of her forever home. Bailey is a bundle of energy with a big heart, perfect for an active family or couple. She is incredibly playful, intelligent, and is up for any adventure you have in mind. Bailey is in training and knows basic commands and is house-broken. She enjoys long walks, playing tug-of-war or fetch, and snuggling up on the couch. Bailey is in excellent health, spayed, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. We are looking for a loving home where Bailey can get plenty of exercise, affection, and the attention she deserves. If you are ready to open your heart and home to a wonderful companion, please reach out to us to meet Bailey. Bailey is excited to meet her new family and share her love!

Story
Casey is a sweet and loyal dog with forever puppy energy. She loves being outdoors and her very favorite activity is swimming. She will swim for hours. She also likes retrieving objects or trash from the ocean and bringing them ashore. She is great off leash on hiking trails and loves playing fetch at the park. She is friendly with other dogs but people are her true love. She absolutely loves people. And food or treats. She is sweet and patient with our 18-month old as the toddler explores her boundaries and pulls on her ears and tail or pats her a little too hard. She loves exercise but doesn't need it as much as when she was a puppy; if she is stuck indoors she just sleeps or rests. We got Casey on the East Coast when she was about 6 months old. We have loved having her in our family but don't have the capacity and resources to care for her as much as we did before we had a human baby.

Size

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I’m moving away and can’t afford to keep him with me. I adopted MooMoo from a shelter 3 years ago. He is currently 3 years old. Looking for a family home. MooMoo prefers quieter environments as we currently live in a busier urban area. He can becomes activated when other dogs bark or rough play. He can get along with gentle, less active dogs. He prefers to be on your lap and get lots of cuddles. He likes to sniff every patch of grass on our walks and does not pull on the leash (in fact, I end up stopping for him quite often). He is housetrained, potty trained, and crate trained (if rehomed, he needs some time to adjust and learn his environment). He knows some commands: sit, down, spin, paw, stay. He is a good dog but needs a better house environment to live in. He will come with his current food, medications, (a bunch of) toys, crate, dog bowls, etc.
