Story
She is very playful and friendly. Love to go outside and run. Super energetic. She loves rubs and is very affectionate. She understands the word sit, lets go, get there (when shes in time out), eat eat, drink drink, kiss. She understands a lot. I talk to her a lot. She uses the bathroom twice a day and will give you a deep eye contact when she has to go and if ignored she will whine. She loves sleeping to soft music, and loves resting on tile floors or the bed with you, under you more than sleeping alone. She has a perfect temperament, she IS NOT vicious, nor aggressive. She’s great with children, she’s gentle. She is just 22 months old and is full of energy. A smart loving pitbull. This breaks my heart but I’m moving and I’m not allowed to have her. So please treat her well and love on her. Shes a sweet heart and deserves love. Please

The absolute biggest baby there is. Dutchess is a very muscular solid girl who thinks she's a lap dog. Beautiful coat, with a great demeanor and personality. Loves people, and a good short fetch session. She will be four years old December 28th. I will be moving again for work, and won't be able to give her the time and attention she deserves. We are looking for a loving home her. She absolutely loves kids.

Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application My adoption fee is sponsored. Warrior  was found back in December on the side of a highway, very skinny, and dragging himself to the bushes. Unfortunately this guy had suffered a lot, and it is unknown what have caused the fracture on his back. He was tested positive for heartworm and thankfully we have done the complete treatment already. He is now finally neutered, cured, vaccinated, microchipped and all set to find a wonderful family to make him forget all the nightmare he had to endure in life. Warrior needs someone to teach him love! Someone that walk him at least 2 to 3 times a day on his wheelchair, and he can smell the flowers…He need to find love! Warrior would do better in a home where he is the only child, and only with adults. Since he cannot walk, makes him to be frustrated when there is too much noise, or other animals running around. A chance is all he needs. Shelter has become a sad and depressing place for him to be. ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application November 6, 2024, 10:27 pm

Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application Kit Kat  It’s such a big bear! He is four years old, loves belly rubs and his favorite time is to walk outside and run with a ball. He is potty trained and is being trained with other dogs around, as he wants the full attention when is with you. KitKat’s best family is a home with adults that will be committed to provide him with exercises, continue to enrich his training skills being learned such as basic commands. He loves to learn! Basically someone that knows how to get a dog’s attention with a voice command and in a respectful way. He is a big cuddly guy and loves blankets. KitKat’s past is unknown before becoming a shelter resident, and he has shown fear inside the kennel, but never outside. Meaning he could have been abused while inside one. A good Samaritan found him on the side of the road, probably abandoned. Unfortunately his dogs didn’t get along, and in tears he surrendered KitKat to the shelter where he has been since October 2023.   ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application November 6, 2024, 10:27 pm
