Story
Ted is in urgent need of a new, loving home. He was pulled from a local shelter on his very last day and is currently in a loving foster home. Current living situations make it necessary to rehome him. Ted has been working with a trainer to learn basic obedience -- Sit, Down, Wait, Off,Free, Come, and polite leash walking. He is improving, but needs someone who will continue to - patiently - work with him. Ted is loving and affectionate and will match your energy - walking, running or cuddling on the couch. Ted's separation anxiety is still an issue but we feel with the proper environment, he will adjust. Ted needs a calm, structured home with someone who either works from home, or is home a lot. He has been slowly introduced to the two small dogs in the home and has done well. He is not aggressive but can become overly excited. The foster says she knows what calms him. A personal note: I never knew a pitbull mix could be so sweet and affectionate - until I met Ted.

Story
Ariana aka Ari / A716448 I went to a foster home with 2 of my siblings in July. We were about 2 months young. I was adopted by my Foster Mom’s (FM) friend in late August. She was teaching me leash manners & working on potty training me. Sadly, she passed away in November. I’m now back with my FM & am getting better with potty training.The shelter listed us as Pit Bull mixes, but I sure don’t look like one. I have a long, slender body, & my legs are really long too. My snout is long, & my ears stand up straight, most of the time. One folds over when it’s being ‘lazy’.My FM has an 11 year young dog plus an 8 year young foster dog, Tootsie. Tootsie & I play nonstop even though she’s half my size. I like all the dogs I’ve met & all the humans too. I’m generous with kisses, & I love sleeping on your feet or lap. My FM doesn’t think I’d be good with cats. I’d love a family who would play with me & take me for walks. I sure love my toys & will come with some of my favorites. Oh, I’m good riding in the car too. I love playing in the backyard with the other dogs, but I do NOT like that ‘wet stuff falling from the sky’! FM puts potty pads in the house & in the garage, so we don’t have to get wet. Yes, we’re spoiled!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Glinda is a gentle and affectionate dog who thrives on human companionship. Her favorite activity is getting cuddles, especially face kisses and hugs. She is happiest when spending quiet time with her person and receiving plenty of love and attention. She may be 50+ lbs but she is still a total lap dog. She`s pretty low energy and is more of a couch potato than an athlete. She is very well-behaved on walks and enjoys exploring her surroundings with calm curiosity. Glinda is highly food-motivated and appreciates the occasional treat. Glinda would do best in a home without cats and may be reactive around other dogs, so a single-pet household would be ideal. I think she could do well with a fur sibling, it would just need to be a slower introduction. But she`s definitely looking to be someone`s side kick and bff. She does well when left at home and doesn`t seem to suffer from any separation anxiety, especially when she has a big bed to pass the time in. When Glinda came to the shelter as a stray, she had a skin infection called demedox. We are down to one medicated bath a week and shes looking like a whole new dog! She is so patient and cooperative when having her bathes. I think she would do really well with children as she is very gentle and sweet with people.
