Story
**Meet Daisy: Your Future Best Friend!** Hi there! My name is Daisy, and I'm a 6-year-old American Pit Bull looking for my forever home. I'm a happy and loving girl who just wants to find a new best friend to share my life with. I've been through boot camp, and I'm eager to continue my learning! I would love to find someone who is willing to work closely with my trainer to help me thrive and grow. Since my beloved companion passed away from Covid in 2021, I've been feeling a bit lonely. I would thrive in a home where I can be the only pet, receiving all the love and attention I deserve. If you're looking to add a loyal and affectionate companion to your life, please reach out for more information about me. Let's make some wonderful memories together!

Story
Frosty is 4. I need to rehome him because I work 70 hours a week. Hes cuddly and loves to play and run. He is so spoiled and a lovely dog. He needs attention as he has some separation issues. he cries and he doesnt tear anything up. He is a big cuddle bug. his nickname is Bubba Wubba. I love him so much but cant keep up with him physically and emotionally. he would be great in a large home or someone who loves pitties. I adopted him about 1 year and 6 months ago from an abusive home. Hoping to be his forever but financial issues arose and I needed to work. it pains me to leave him alone for so long and see him depressed. he needs a loving home with someone who can give him the attention he deserves

Story
Sabbath was given to us so we could watch him for a while until his mom got back on her feet. We went to drop him off once she said she was ready for him, and she texted saying she doesn’t want him. We do not have the space nor time for a puppy unfortunately. He has a lot of energy and would benefit from having a home with a yard and someone who will be able to give him all the attention he deserves.

Story
Abbie will be 10 years old on Nov. 3, 2024. We've had her and our other dog since they were just 8 weeks old. The two have never gotten along. Abbie wants to be alpha dog and she is not and she will fight our other dog so I've had to keep them separate as best as possible. Our other dog was recently diagnosis with a heart murmur and we were told to keep her lifestyle free of stress if possible. Abbie will need to be in a home with no other dogs, unless you plan to keep them separate. She is potty trained, although she has been caught going in the house if you ignore her clues. She is a sweet girl and a lover of people. I often feel she l loves strangers more than me. Haha! It's probably the rules and all the gates in the house. 😊 Would you like to meet our sweet Abbie?
