Meet Miss Pink, a 1-year-old female pit mix who was relinquished because her former caretaker did not have time to care for her.

Are you ready to meet your one and only "Man's best friend"? Come on by and say hi to Leonardo! Leo is a very affectionate boy, and smart as a whip. He was bottle raised, and boy does he love people due to that! Leo does have to be the only dog, but trust us when we say he has the affection to make up for it. He'd love to be at your side and with you every step of the way. He has lived with both cats and kids in the past, and done great with both! He's currently working on regrowing his hair from an allergy breakout, and getting more handsome by the day. Don't hesitate to stop in and say hello to him!

Story
Neka is a 1-year-old female pit mix who was relinquished because her former family was unable to keep her. Neka is a wiggly, energetic girl who loves seeing her people and going on adventures outside of the shelter on Doggie Day Outs! She can get a bit overstimulated in the dog kennels, understandably, and can be dog-reactive. Her ideal adopter would be someone who can work with her on mouthiness and reactivity. Come meet Neka at CCHS! Neka is a STAFF FAVOIRTE pet! Here's what Adoption Staff member, Darrian, has to say about her: "It goes without saying... she is adorable~ She is my personal favorite and has been since I started working here. She gets so excited when she sees me, especially because I bring the good treats. I give the dogs enrichment almost every day and she always gets the happiest! I call "NEKA NEKA NEKA" when she wants attention or "oh Neka~" when she acts super cute, and she'll just rub her back right up on the kennel for pets. When outside, she gets the zoomies, and sometimes she even sticks my hands in her mouth, which is weird, but super cute and funny. I love her so much!! This is why she needs the staff favorite sticker. A lovely letter about her, from me, to you."

Story
Meet Diamond, a 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix ready to find her fur-ever home. Diamond was surrendered to us in July. In her previous home she was very energetic which didn't fit well with their older dog, however, in the right home she would flourish, especially in an active setting. Diamond can be very shy and reserved at first, but once she warms up her true personality shines right through. She is an energetic, playful, and loving companion. She has done well with both kids and cats and would make a great family dog. Come meet Diamond at CCHS and let her dazzle you with her charm!
