Story
Aria is a 1.5-year-old loving, high-energy, sweet, pit mix. She is crate trained and knows base commands (sit, eat, wait, etc.) and behaves very well once she's had a chance to play to release energy, so I'd definitely recommend a large yard. Her high energy levels can make her hard to manage so she needs an experienced owner who is prepared to give her time and attention. She plays well with young children and other animals, as long as she is supervised, to help make sure she doesn't get too excited or forget her size. I have been her only owner and had her since she was about 6 weeks, she is spayed and hasn't had any health concerns or incidents of aggression or biting. She has a very stern bark and gives good notice of anyone approaching the property. We are looking to give her to a long-term owner in preparation for an upcoming move as we will no longer be able to house her.

Story
I love this boy but I am moving out but currently live with my mom, she doesn't wish to keep him and the place I am going I won't be able to bring him due to breed and size, I also won't be able to afford any other area to find one that will, I am moving out because a mentally abusive relationship with mt mother, she is also just as bad to him when she wants to be, Moose loves snuggles and being outside, he will bark to go outside, he is good with other dogs and grew up with a doxin and a lab both smaller then him, he does not have any papers or shots due to my mom not wanting to get them when I was in high school, and still does not have them because I personally cannot afford to take care of him and I know he deserves better

Story
I got Blu from a woman who was surrendering her to the humane society and i was currently there looking for a puppy. Ive had her since she was a pup and she is so sweet and loving she is 3 years old and full of energy. Shes a big baby ho will lay and lean on you like a baby yorkie forgetting shes a big girl but its all love. Shes adventurous and has a deep love for squeaky toys. i am only giving her up due to landlord issues if not for that id have her forever shes house trained and will bark to let you know she has to use the bathroom. She loves going outside and for walks but sometimes forget shes not leading a pack so practice on side by side walking could help but overall a wonderful joy to have and i just want to find her a loving home where she can be loved on and give her love out
