Story
We believe Rihanna is a Decker/giant rat terrier which is a hunting breed. She is super friendly and loves meeting new people. She is good around both young and older children. Most of the time she is a couch potato, but she loves going on walks and will play fetch all day. She is usually quiet, but will bark at cats and squirrels. She also communicates well with her people and is very vocal with her cute “barooo”.

Story
Juice was a rescue from last year off the streets. Juice is a very sweet boy I have grown to love him but if I keep him I can’t rescue other animals that are in need of extra love. I’m hoping I can find him a loving home with someone that will love him like we do. He deserves the love from another family juice is very chill n loves sleeping on the couch he is also crate trained. I’m hoping I can find him the loving home he needs.

Hi my name is Kodak, I am 1 1/2 years old. My birthday is in June. I love cuddles and am used to being in calm environments. I grew up with other dogs so I think I’ll do well with others. I know sit, stay, down. I am not whatsoever food aggressive. I absolutely LOVE chest scratches (the way I ask is, I will sit in front of you and not move or id you are sitting or laying down I will plop my head down next to you). I am not socialized a lot so I can be skiddish. I am super treat motivated!

Story
Nani is one year old Staffordshire Bull terrier. Even though she's great with kids she's always been kind of bashful since we adopted her. She loves playing catch and adores cuddles and belly rubs. I'd would love for her to be more social but a lot of people don't give her a chance because of her breed. When I've taken her to the dog park she gets along with her variety of different dogs, but is nervous at first. Once she opens up she's a ball of energy. I hope you give her a chance because she's a sweetie pie.
