Story
This lovable 5-year-old, 55-pound Pitbull Terrier is ready to bring his sweet and playful energy into a loving home! Cheeky entered the shelter as a stray and wasn’t reclaimed by his owner, but now he’s looking for a second chance at happiness. Cheeky is a friendly and affectionate guy who loves people and is always excited to see you. When you start walking him, he’s eager to go but settles into a relaxed walk once his excitement calms down. He’s easy to leash, although he’s a little hesitant about jumping out of the kennel – but once he’s outside, he’s all about the fun and affection! He loves belly rubs and will happily roll over for you to give him all the love he craves. He’s playful, loves attention, and will try to jump up to give you hugs (he’s a big fan of physical affection). While he’s excited, Cheeky can get a little “shark-like” when it comes to treats, so be careful with your fingers – he’s not exactly gentle, but his enthusiasm is hard to resist! Cheeky is a big-hearted dog who’s still learning how to be his best self. He’s eager to listen, but he doesn’t always know what to do, so he’ll roll on the floor by your feet, hoping for more belly rubs and love. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will fill your days with joy and laughter, Cheeky might just be the perfect fit for you! Come meet this sweet guy and see if he’s the right match for your family. 💖🐶

Story
A26156 Max is a brindle colored, approximately 3-year-old, 78-pound, neutered male, Mastiff / Pitbull mix. He entered the shelter as an owner surrender on 03-08-2025 due to the fact his new job requires travel, leaving him no time to care for Max. Max is a friendly, eager and excited boy here at the shelter. He is excited and happy when you first approach his kennel door and ready to come out and play. He loves people and will excitedly jump up on you for hugs and kisses. Our staff describes him as a gentle giant who loves people and wants all your attention. He was easy to leash but is a strong puller and will yank you around trying to see and smell everything. He will need leash training to be his best, but he is treat motivated and smart. He has had some training and will “sit” upon command, especially if you have a treat. He has a friendly interest in other dogs here at the shelter. The previous owner says he is house broken and has lived with children, but not dogs or cats. He further said that he was great with his kids, and he doesn’t mind other dogs. He does have a chicken allergy and will get very sick if he eats any. Max will be a fun-loving, loyal family member in his new forever home.

Story
Hello, I'm Tito! I may seem a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'm a bundle of joy. I love to play and make friends. I've been told I'm friendly, and I believe that's true. I can't wait to have a human friend who will play with me and give me lots of love. I must admit, I could use a little help with my obedience training. But, I'm a quick learner and I promise to do my best. I'm looking for a home where I can feel loved and secure. Adopting me would mean a loyal friend for life.

Story
Hi there, I'm Chico. A bit shy at first, but once we're friends, I'm as loyal as they come. I love long walks, playing fetch, and cozying up for a good nap. My manners might need a bit of polishing, but I'm a quick learner, eager to please. I can't wait to find my forever home, where I can shower my human with endless affection. Adopting me means gaining a friend for life, who will be there through thick and thin, always ready to lend a paw or a comforting snuggle when you need it most.
