Story
For people who know the breed, you'll understand why I'm charging a fee. I found Hector and his sister dumped on a busy highway. They were loaded with tics, fleas and worms. I've trained him with basics and he is totally vetted except heartworm prevention. Hector is about 5 mos old and is a blue American Pitbull Terrier. He would be good if you don't want a dog too energetic. You must keep an eye on him bc he will eat everything. It has to do with him being near emaciation.

Story
For people who know the breed, you'll understand why I'm charging a fee. Paris was dumped on the side of a busy highway with her brother. They were in poor condition with ticks, fleas, and worms. They were also near emaciated. We're guessing dog fighters didn't want them for whatever reason.

Story
About Rabbit, She is 6 years old and has lived with us for 5 years. The reason for us rehoming her is she has been attacking our other smaller dog more frequently and the attacks are becoming more severe. We also do not feel safe with her being around our toddler. She has issues with resource guarding and has a strong prey drive. Her triggers are food, treats, chews, and toys. If there is another dog around her unsupervised with these items out she will attack them and for that reason we feel it is best she lives in a home without other pets or small children around. I know that all sounds awful, but please know that is such a small part of who Rabbit is. She is a loving and sweet dog 99% of the time, but that 1% is too big a risk for our household. She loves to run around and dig holes and get belly rubs and spending time with her people on the couch or leaned against their leg. The ideal owner is someone without children or other pets that has the energy to keep up with her.

Story
Looking for a beautiful dog? How about a smart dog with lots of energy for walks, hikes and play? You’re in luck: Bandit has it all. Besides being gorgeous, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and receiving preventative. He’s still young, and has puppy energy (yes, that means lots of toys to keep him busy, besides an organized plan to make sure he gets plenty of exercise.). He’s smart, affectionate, and loves attention. He responds well to positive training methods and learns fast. He does not do well with cats, but loves people of all sizes.
