Story
Meet Layla, a stunning 5 month old tri-colored Pitbull mix with a heart full of love to give! Layla and her siblings came from a difficult situation where they weren’t treated kindly by the neighbor’s children. Because of this, Layla started off very shy and wary of people, but with a lot of patience and care, she’s learning that not all humans are bad.  Layla is a playful and affectionate puppy who loves treats, toys, and, most of all, attention! While she may need a little time to adjust to her new environment, once she’s comfortable, she’s an absolute sweetheart who will melt your heart with her love.  Layla will need another dog in the family to help her with her confidence.  This brave little girl is ready to find her forever family—one that will show her the kindness and love she deserves. She loves other dogs and doesn't even care about cats!  If you’re patient, understanding, and ready to help Layla grow into the confident, happy pup she’s meant to be, apply today to meet her!  Layla can’t wait to meet you and start her new life filled with love and joy.

Story
Oddie is a very sweet active dog, he needs lots of love and attention. He definitely needs an experienced owner and someone willing to put time and lots of energy into him. He does have anxiety and has to take daily medication for it. We feed him open farm freeze dried raw kibble as well as honest kitchen dehydrated food mix, we typically spend about $300 every 2 weeks on him and his food so would be looking for some one who could maintain this. Another dog friend would be preferred he doesn’t like to be left alone or be lonely. He is crate trained and potty trained. He is currently 8 months and 80lbs. He loves long walks and hikes. He does well with other dogs and children. He is highly food motivated and knows a good amount of tricks. He can sit, stay, turn around, lay down, roll over, paw/other paw, and guard. He does better on walks with his prong collar vs a harness. He would come with his crate, collar, toys, harness etc Lots of stuff we just recently bought and are in good shape
