Story
Olive came into a shelter down south pregnant and heartworm positive. She was fostered until her babies were born and weaned. Her babies were then transported to a rescue. For whatever reason, Olive didn't get to go with her babies and was taken back to the shelter where she wound up on the EU list. Chewy’s Hope fostered her, and she is a senior girl ready for a quiet retirement. She would do best as an only and with older kids. But whoever adopts her will have a great companion and lovely girl.

Story
She was born May 17, 2021 and purchased from a GS breeder. She loves cuddling and running around outside playing fetch. She loves her toys and is very smart. Knowledgeable in many commands. She is house and crate trained. Loves to play with other dogs. Has been good around the house cat and kids. I have had to move and am unable to take her with me. The current person looking after her isn't able to care for her much longer so I'm trying to find her a loving home.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Rhome, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Axel showed up at my house in the beginning of January with my other dogs. He gets along well with them. He is 3 years old and knows multiple commands including sit, stay and wait. He has never been aggressive to anyone new or the delivery people. He does bark to alert you of a person approaching the house. We had him checked for a microchip and all information was from Florida and there was no valid phone number. Due to my home location I believe he was dumped. I am unable to keep him as we have more than enough on our plate.

Story
Oh my Atlas, she is the sweetest dog. If I had the energy for three dogs I would keep her. Unfortunately my Ausie just keeps picking on her. Ausie is my sons. So Atlas needs a new home. She is house trained. She does not do the kennel. She is very smart. She does need a little more training as far as not jumping on people. But she sits for treats, lays down, and over all is a very calm dog. Shes a great cuddler!. She is great with little ones, she doesn bark hardly ever. She is a rescue. She walked up on my husband in August (she was 9 months old)when he was mowing. Tracked her down to a local shelter, she had just been adopted out a few months before that. Turns out the family released her on purpose. I couldnt stand the thought of her going back to the shelter. I have so many health issues and with my Ausie always jealous of her it makes it difficult when I have to separate them. Atlas is calm even when Rose is going after her. My heart is broken but it's whats best for her.
