Story
Hello, I'm Justice, a two-year-old Pit Bull mix with a heart full of love and resilience. Despite a rough start in life, I've blossomed into a gentle and playful girl who's ready to find a loving forever home. My name is JUSTICE for a reason after all. I may be small in size, often called a "pocket Pit Bull," but my affection knows no bounds. I thrive on cuddles, belly rubs, and giving kisses-nothing makes me happier than showering my human friends with love. Toys are another passion of mine; whether it's a squeaky ball or a chew toy, I'll happily engage in playtime for hours, then curl up next to you when it is time to relax. My playful spirit is matched only by my sweetness. I'm known for my gentle nature and patience, especially with those who show me kindness. I adore spending time with people, especially children. Their laughter and energy bring out the best in me, and I cherish every moment of play and companionship we share. While I love humans dearly, I can be a bit cautious around other dogs at first. It takes me some time to build trust with new canine friends, but with patience and slow introductions, I can learn to enjoy their company too. At two years old, I'm past the destructive puppy stage. I'm eager to learn new tricks and continue growing with positive reinforcement and guidance. I'm a loyal companion who's ready to bring joy and love into a forever family's life. If you're looking for a gentle and affectionate addition to your home, someone who loves toys, kisses, and cherishes children, then Justice is the perfect match for you. Come meet me, and let's create a lifetime of cherished memories together! Key Details: Name: Justice Breed: Pit Bull mix (pocket size) Age: 2 years Temperament: Affectionate, sweet, playful Loves: Toys, kisses, children Needs: Slow introductions to new dogs

Story
((Edit: I would really like to have him adopted by Dec 19 but am able to hold him past that )) Titan Shane is a sweet, fun loving pitbull terrier who was owned by my uncle. After passing away in our household I did what i could to try and care for him but I have acknowledged I am not the fit, commanding owner for a dog of this breed. Titan will come with some of his personal affects such as his waterless shampoo and brush, harness and leash, training muzzle, some accessories, 1 gallon ziploc of current food, 1 pouch of wet food, and some dog toys.

Do you want the perfect companion? Look no further than Willow! This girl has it all: -house trained -crate trained -good with all dogs -good with cats -athletic with an off switch -very affectionate This girl has been with us since July, 2023 when she was found abandoned in a vacant apartment building. She was briefly adopted to a home as an ESA dog, but returned when the adopter lost her home. Since being back with us, Willow has been a gem! She is super sweet and loves to cuddle!! She also loves to play with toys and other dogs of all sizes. She also does well with cats! When meeting new people Willow can seem very exuberant, but this is something we are working on! She is house and kennel trained and also knows how to sit and jump up really high. She’s super athletic and would make the perfect companion for an active person or family. She walks reasonably well on leash and would not doubt love to be someone’s forever companion! Willow’s ideal home would be with someone she can go on adventures with, but also cuddle on the couch with as a Netflix and chill buddy! This girl has waited sooo long for her perfect family! If you think she could be the girl for you let us know!! She is up to date on vaccines and prevention, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, and spayed. If you think Willow sounds like the perfect companion for you or someone you know, please fill out our application and/or email us at oasispetrescue@gmail.com

Story
Jasmine is a young pup who was brought to us as a stray. She was diagnosed with hip dysplasia but does not need surgery. She just needs regular exercise and we are waiting until after her first heat cycle to have her spayed. The spay is paid for by our shelter but the adopter would have to bring her back to our vet in Brandon for the procedure. She is super sweet, playful and loves toys. She is athletic and would love an active family. The first step is to complete the application on our website at https://www.rainingcatsanddogsshelter.com/adoption. Once your application is approved, our adoption coordinator will reach out to you by email. You can also follow up by email with our adoption coordinator at rainingcatsanddogsvolunteer@gmail.com. We appreciate you being patient with us as we are all volunteers and many of us have full time jobs. We will get back with you as soon as we can. We hope to be able to match you with a new fur baby!

She was given to me during quarantine and she’s a loving dog but as she gets older, she’s less overprotective and she just love cuddles. She’s 4 years old and she’s been through 5 pregnancies, it’s been all my fault and I want a better home for her because I can’t provide it for her. I’m not financially stable and I’m moving away. My mom wants to send her away.

Story
Sweet, Shy Betty was found in a ditch in a Strawberry Patch in January 2022. She was very thin, was covered in fleas and loaded with worms. Betty is healthy, heartworm negative and is now fully up to date with vaccinations. Betty is a timid lady, she requires some time to decompress in a home. We have been working with her and she has done wonderful in her foster - really coming out of her shell. She is still a little afraid of new things but walks well on a leash with proper equipment, is crate trained and housebroken. Betty is 9 years old and 55lbs. *She will need a secure, fully fenced yard* We recommend no kitties for her and no other dogs. Betty attended obedience classes and learned how to sit / stay.
