Story
Benny was rescued in Texas and has adapted really well to being the best boy. He is the sweetest pit Bull mix you’ll meet. He loves people and loves to cuddle and play. He is 4.5-5 years old and is house trained. He’s really smart. Due to a new career shift that requires traveling for weeks at a time, Benny’s mom has made the heartbreaking decision to try and give him a better life by rehoming him with someone who can really take care of him (and she is very open to an open adoption!). He is aggressive with other dogs and very territorial. He needs someone with a yard, no other pets (at first), and dedicated to getting him better behaviorally trained. His behavior is not why he is getting rehomed — it is not his fault. Please help him find a real forever home. With rehoming, Benny needs to take his things! you will get the following: - two beds - food and water tray - water dispenser - food to last 2+ weeks - plenty of toys and treats.

Story
I got Lucie at a difficult time when a wasnt considering the challenges of taking in a dog. She is a really good loving dog , but have had trouble training her with my busy work schedule. She knows basic commands like sit, lay down, come,and go, and Ive crate trained her but Ive a difficulties house breaking her and training her to not chew on everything. That being said I need to find someone that has the time and knowledge to give her what she needs.

Story
We rescued murphy when he was around 10 weeks old from a parking lot. He comes from a home with two small kids and an elder dog. He loves to play and snuggle (he truly doesn’t know how big he is and try’s to burrow into you) He is being trained on the leashes as best as we can. His recall is great and he’s off leashes train. Still not fully house trained, and needs more practice. He’s high energy and needs to be socialized. He’s timid about new people but quickly warms up. Murphy needs to find his person and given lots of attention, he’s definitely wanting to be trained and enjoys the one on one time. My husband is in the Navy and away which changed dynamics in our home so he’s not getting the love and care that is required for him and his breed. He loves toys and chewing a good bone. He’s goofy and loving. He’s crate trained, knows simple commands like sit and stay. We just want him to go to a home who loves him like we do.
