Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Raja is a sweet 6 year old Pitbull mix. Unfortunately her last home made her distrustful of men and anxious. She is reactive to noises like car doors even after training and the area we are in is not good for her on this front. Additionally my brother in law will be moving in soon as he needs a place to stay and anytime he has been over she has growled at him until we put her in the bedroom and close the door. We love her to death but we have to put our human family first and combined with her sensitivity to our busy neighborhood we no longer think we are the right home for her.

Story
We've had Oscar since he was 9 months old, and we didn't have any kids. We have 3 kids under 5 now and 1 on the way, and Oscar is not getting the attention or exercise he needs. He would thrive in a home where he gets more attention. He is good with dogs and we can schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Two dogs, I don't want to separate them Rosco (male dalmatian) is 6 years old and is an AKC registered purebred. He is very loving and playful. He listens well and loves to play and cuddle under blankets. Leela the GSD hound mix (female) is the smartest dog I've ever had and she was the best match i could have ever made for him. I've trained them to sit, lay down, stay, focus, leave it and back up. They love training sessions and do well with lots of love and attention. I am only looking for a new home for them because I've experienced some life changing circumstances and can not give them the attention and exercise that they need due to responsibility and work.

Female, 4 yrs 2 mos

Story
Zarya is super sweet and loving, full of energy, and listens pretty well to commands like sit, shake, and wait. She is 4 years old and up to date on all shots and is spayed. She loves her squeaky nerf ball and takes it everywhere with her, and also likes other toys, bones and treats. Zarya is very playful and loves to run. She needs more attention and exercise, due to my work she is cooped up too much right now and would be happier with more time and love. She does not get along with cats at all and is iffy with other dogs, sometimes she gets along with them and sometimes not. The best situation would be her as an only pet in the home. She does pull on the leash sometimes on walks so I recommend using a harness but she listens very well to commands. Zarya is very cuddly and loves getting scratches, kisses, and pets. She is pretty good with kids but does get over excited and jumps sometimes. Please help me get her a loving home, she deserves it!!
