Story
Titan is 2 yrs old and has lots of energy. We are super busy and our schedule doesnt permit us to dedicate time to him. He spends a lot of time alone. Looking for someone that can give him the attention we don’t. We got him from the shelter in the beginning of August, we wouldnt want to send him back to the shelter. He was very scared when we first got him. There are 4 children in our home ranging from 6yrs to 17yrs and he is very loving towards them. His favorite kind of playtime is jumping up on the boys and playful nipping. He has never bitten anyone.

Story
Gorda is 2+ years old, she is a full French Bulldog. She is a yard pet and kept on crate at night in our laundry room. She enjoys free time, she is very healthy. She is not potty trained as we do not have her inside our home. She’s usually out with our Rottweiler does good with him because he’s a male. Unsure how she will do with other pets. Preferably looking for a family who is willing to accept as is and invest on training her if they want her to be a in-house pet. She is very obedient gets excited and jumps, runs a lot and very playful. She is AKC registered. Unfortunately we are rehoming as the times are hard I have been off work for 6 months now after cervical spine surgery and will need 3 surgeries this year. She is a black frenchie with paws brown color overall is very pretty. Series inquiries only, hoping to find the perfect family!

Story
Hi, my name is Olaf, and I like warm hugs. I was rescued by some nice people from a really noisy shelter. I had a few friends at the shelter, which was nice, and I am making new friends now from the comfort a foster home, which is even better. I really like women, kids and other dogs my size. I generally like everyone I meet! As I'm discovering all the new people to love and places to enjoy slow introductions help me feel safe and have a good experience. My rescue family are helping me feel confident so I can shake over any new-life jitters and fully embrace my positive future. They said they humans have to work through this stuff too, so it's all good. They also say I have the cutest ears because they bounce when I walk..I can't see myself walking, but that sure does sound cute! Let me know what you think of my bouncy ears when we meet, ok? I am an active guy, but I also know when it's time for belly rubs and snuggles. I am as loving as I am playful, we can have so much fun together! I've been learning to wait at the door before walks, to be comfortable in my crate, and I already know basic stuff like sit, come, etc. I am really smart, if I do say so myself I walk well on leash and my favorite is walking with another dog friend, like my husky pal at the shelter or my shepherd pal in my foster home. I sometimes do think I am a lap dog, but I am not so tiny after all. I will do my best to not crawl into your lap, but I do so love to get as close to my human as possible for a sweet snuggle sesh. If you'd prefer, I will also happily lay my head head on your feet when you sit on the couch. Life is best enjoyed with those you love, and I have so much love to give! So, I'm officially putting myself out there now, and I hope we can meet to see if we are a good match for each other, I am so eager to find my forever family where I can be safe and loved for the rest of my life. Here's to hoping you will pick me! Olaf is 87#, 3years old, (soon to be) neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. If you'd like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.liveloveanimalrescue.org

American Staffordshire Terrier Boxer

Size

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Waffles is a friendly, gentle, and sweet little lady looking for her forever home! She's a perfect petite size of around 32lb, house trained, crate trained and knows a few commands. She will sit for a treat and will take food very gently. She is a calm couch potato most of the time, but with little energy spurts here and there when she gets the zoomies! Waffles is a pretty mellow, low maintenance kinda girl. She enjoys going on walks and adventures (and walks very nicely on the leash) but she's not the type to want to go on big 2 hour hikes or runs. In fact you'd probably have to carry her home! Her favorite thing is chilling out at home with her people, snoozing by your side, or looking out the window watching the world go by. She has lived in a foster home with small children before, and has been very well behaved and kind with them. Waffles is friendly and excited to meet other dogs but she needs to be the only pet in the home. She can be defensive and territorial around her food and toys, and will be snappy and mean to other dogs (not ever to humans, only with other dogs and probably cats also.) Waffles is great with dogs outside the home, but not inside the home. We're looking for adopters who are happy to make Waffles their one and only. She is a truly lovely little dog and we hope to find her a wonderful home as soon as we can!
