Story
Piper will be 2 years old in December. He LOVES other dogs and won’t be happy unless he has a sister or brother to play with. Piper has been through a lot in his short life including enduring the loss of one of his owners (my husband) followed by an influx of live-in relatives and extra dogs. Somehow Piper became very protective of me beyond all reason and I cannot live with him. When I am gone he is normal, has nothing to protect and is happy with the other people and another dog who live here. As soon as I come back he is in protector mode again. I can be gone an hour or many days and it is always the same. He has been through a basic obedience course and can sit/stay. He is quite smart. I have discussed his problem with my veterinarian and trainers and the consensus is that I am somehow his problem, and he will be fine when he gets away from me. Piper needs a large-ish fenced yard or acreage. He has lots of energy and is used to being around people and dogs all the time.

Story
This is Diva! We helped save her from death row. She was going to be euthanized for lack of space after only 6 days. She is safe in Vancouver, WA now. She will go to her new forever home fully vetted/UTD on shots, spayed, + having had experienced what a loving home could feel like. Please consider opening your heart + home to this wonderful baby. She is between 1-2 years old, so full of life, + sweetness! Diva will be most successful in a home with experienced, confident, clear, + consistent but kind leadership. She does best with confident male dogs. Unknown how she does with cats +/or kids so a slow introduction + always closely supervised would be necessary. She kennels well after she has had time to go potty, get some zoomies out for 15-20 mins. + has some loving. She sits quickly + is very food motivated- easy to train. She has not had accidents in the house so we think she is fully potty trained + waiting for you! Leash walks well- does pull some. Please share her listing!

Tank

American Pit Bull Terrier Mutt

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tank is a 5 year old pit mix. He has always been a sweet sweet boy. He thinks he's a lap dog and likes to sleep in bed with you. He knows how to sit and wait (for a short amount of time).He has some resource gaurding issues. Tank was my husbands dog and my husband unfortunately passed away in March. Since then Tank has been very reactive to my son who is 18 months. Prior to my husbands passing Tank and my son got along great. Tank would follow him around and lay with him. But since my husbands passing something has changed. Tank doesn't seem to care for my son any longer. When we go for walks Tank still seems fine with the neighborhood kids it's my son specifically. Rehoming him breaks my heart as he is part of our family and he was my late husbands dog. However my sons needs are my top priority. Tank needs someone who has the time he deserves. Being a newly single mom that's something I can no longer provide for him. Tank just needs someone who will love him and cuddle on the couch.

Story
Was adopted at 8 weeks. Approximately 2 plus years old. She does not get along with my smaller dog and bullies the little one. She definitely needs to be the only Pet. She was dog social until she got to be around two and changed her behavior. I’ve read this can happen with this breed. She has had training with a buzz collar and is leash trained. Does not do well with other pets. She cannot go to dog Parks any longer. Must have secure fenced yard. Need experienced dog lover of this breed. Would love to keep her but the little guy has been a family Member for 10 years. Comes with large dog kennel and her accessories. She really is a sweat Velcro dog but cannot be around other pets.

Story
Chase is 3/4 chocolate lab, and 1/4 beagle. He is housetrained and knows many commands. He is very food motivated! He is a sweet dog but does have fear of strangers (short lived) He warms up quickly. Then he gives all the kisses! He can show fear aggression if strange dogs approach him on leash. I manage this by giving him plenty of space on walks where other dogs are present. He attended dog daycare and he loved our other dog who passed away, so he will get along when introduced properly. He is an ideal dog for someone fairly active, with room to roam. He loves daily walks, chasing balls, and loves balloons! He is also a rare dog who loves the 4th of July! He is very alert and aware. I feel so safe having him around. He does have prominent hound characteristics, he is scent oriented and loves to hunt things. He is very protective and vocal at times. He's not aggressive but he likes to keep people at a distance until he gets used to them.
