Story
We love our dog Malachite (Kai) so much, but we are all just too busy to take care of his needs and he deserves better. We haven't had time to keep up with his training but he trains easily. He's the sweetest most loving dog! However, he's a perfect guard dog too, his bark will scare off anyone with negative intentions. He's good with all kids and other dogs. He needs a yard to run and play in and someone to make sure he gets plenty of daily exercise. We also want him to live in a house and not an apartment. Kai was born June 11th 2022. We had him DNA tested and found out he's a mix of 10 different breeds but mostly Great Pyrenees. We have a copy of the DNA test to send you. We also have a dog crate, leash, brush, treats, poo bags, wipes, shock collar, food container, travel water bowl, dog food/ water stand, dog deodorant spray, shampoo and conditioner, ear wipes and I'm sure a few other items (lol). If you are interested please contact me with any questions you may have.

Sasha

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
West Jordan, UT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We rescued Sasha from being euthanized in Memphis in 2018. She has been an amazing dog for us but our lives have changed since having two children. We have not been able to give Sasha the love and attention she deserves and our two year old does not play nice with her. He constantly hits her, pulls on her and yells at her. It breaks our heart, and I think she would be happier in a home without young children. She is a big time people pleaser and loves everybody she meets. She has lived with cats and does okay, but is very curious and likes to chase. She also does well with dogs bigger, and has lived with many Great Danes we have fostered. When we got Sasha she had a broken leg that we had operated on. She does well since the surgery, but her ideal home would have minimal stairs as sometimes (especially in winter) her legs and hips start to bug her. If you have any questions please reach out.

Story
Sasha is a great dog. Unfortunately we just are not great for her anymore. We have an infant and a toddler that she does great with but our toddler does not like her and it has caused a lot of stress in our home. Sasha needs a home that is not stressed out, and wants her around. She is a cuddle bug, house trained, loyal pup. Sasha is about 8. Has some arthritis is her back legs but does not slow her down. We have stairs that she does with no issues, and she jumps, plays and runs with no issue. Needs help on the leash. Does great with vets and grooming. LOVES people. Interested in cats, does best with big dogs as she is alpha.
