Story
Her owner passed 2 years ago, and I took her in since I had her sister since she was a puppy. I unfortunately can’t have two dogs where I am moving so I have to make an extremely tough choice. She’s funny, goofy and energetic but a pure lover, cuddler, and bone fanatic. Needs someone that can love her the way she deserves, unfortunately I no longer can. Please help me regime this sweetheart.

Story
We adopted our handsome boy when he was 3 months old from a shelter. Less than one week later, we almost lost him to Parvovirus. After 8 miserable days in a hospital, he came home and recovered quickly. He is a very energetic 7 year old who loves to run and play, as much as he loves to snuggle on the couch. He requires a lot of space and enjoys long walks regularly. He is showing no signs of slowing down- unfortunately with a toddler at home, we feel he is not getting the space and attention he deserves. We want nothing more than for him to go to a family who will love and care for him as much as we have all these wonderful years he’s been a part of our family. Approximately 32” tall and weighs 75 lbs (very muscular)

Story
Full transparency, Walter is a high needs dog with a bite history. He has bitten both owners, our child (1year old) and one guest. Walter is a 4 year old labradoodle purchased from a breeder as a puppy. He is sweet (most of the time), loves walks, chasing after a ball, seek and find games, and seek and destroy games. His high needs: -highly anxious. Loud noises, new people, etc. -resource guarding -reactive -sensitive to grooming (both professional and owner) -barks for attention -jumps when greeting -needs regimen/ schedule and lots of exercise for best behavior He knows all basic commands: sit, stay, down, roll, shake, come He loves kongs, destroying cardboard boxes, squeaky toys, walks and car rides. We are very sad to rehome him but cannot give him the attention he needs and do not want to live in fear he will bite our young child again. Most of his behavior is predictable if you are able to read his body language.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Bolingbrook, IL
Size

Story
Freya is a 4-year-old Pocket American Bully who loves snuggling on the couch and exploring the woods on long walks. Shes playful, enjoys toys, bones, and tugging on her rope, and is great on car rides! She is ready for a best friend. Freya is smart and knows basic commands like sit, stay, wait, place, and heel. She is a more dominant dog, so she needs an owner experienced with the breed and comfortable with strong dogs. Freya can be anxious with loud noises (like fireworks) and new situations but overcomes fears with patience. She is on anxiety meds but has made progress and can come off them soon. Due to her protective nature and resource guarding, Freya needs a calm home without other pets and only older children. We are rehoming her after having a baby, as the changes have been stressful for her. Freya comes with her leash, collar, food, toys, and a month of anxiety meds if needed and a bag of food.
