After the passing of my mother, Rocker was more than a pet; he was an emotional support & a friend. He loves to cuddle, play tug, and chase his tail. He will protect you from birds and squirrels on walks haha & he loves to sit in the car. He isn’t a fan of the rain or the cold but he loves the outdoors.

Story
Please know that Bela is NOT aggressive towards our 3 sons or 2 cats. Her sensitive nature keeps her tucked away. We want her to thrive in the best environment. Our family adopted Bela in November 2023 from the APA. Sweet Bela is a beautiful 65 lb pit mix and turned 4 years old on 6/17/2024. She has a very sensitive temperament and quiet demeanor. She whimpers some but does not bark. She would be an ideal pet for someone who works from home. Bela will flourish in a calm home, where she can curl up next to you! Bela is a strong and athletic girl! Her leaps will amaze you! She loves going for walks and is an excellent walker. She also loves playing in the yard with her favorite rubber tennis ball - she can jump so high to catch it! Bela enjoys car rides as well as rolling on her back in the sunshine. We truly love Bela but know that our home is not the right fit for this sweet girl. She deserves to live her best life in the environment that is best suited to her sensitive demeanor.

Louie

Mutt

Female, Adult

Story
Louie is a high energy, sweet, four-year-old female dog. We recently had a baby and are finding it extremely difficult to give her the time and level of attention she needs to truly thrive. While we don't know Louie's mix, we suspect she has some Black Mouth Cur in her. Everyone who meets her on the street says she looks like Scooby Doo! We've had her since she was 7 weeks old. Louie loves long walks in the park and to chase the ball or frisbee and is happiest destroying toys. Her exposure to children has been minimal and she would be best suited to remain in an adults-only living situation. Since she was about 13 weeks old, Louie has been trained and continues to spend time with her trainer. While she has a strong personality, she knows all the basic obedience commands and is especially good at the "climb" command. She does well with a confident, calm handler and would love someone who can commit to long walks and vigorous play sessions.
