Story
Rosie has been with my family for about 4 years and she came to us from a friend who adopted her from a shelter, so we are unsure of her background. Rosie is a snuggle bug kind of girl and very much a lover. She is extremely energetic and loves to run! She can play too wildly and gets too into it from time to time. Our reason for rehoming her is due to the wild play and the issues that stem from that. Currently we are struggling to get our children to not engage in rough housing with her because she seems to have very strong hunting/chasing etc. instincts. I recommend that she is in a home with a calm atmosphere with no smaller pets whatsoever and potentially no children. She is very adaptable to the environment which also includes when things get chaotic around her she feeds into that as well. We love Rosie so very much, but the circumstances in our home are not changing and it is currently not ideal for our family or Rosie. She needs a loving home that will guide her and train her.

Story
Meet Donny! Donny is a handsome black and white Pitbull mix that came into our care due to a neglect situation. Despite where he came from he is a very sweet boy that loves to be around people, go for walks, play, and snuggle! Donny currently weighs around 40 - 45 pounds and we are estimating him to be 3 - 4 years old. Donny did come in with another dog and he seems to enjoy her company, but honestly he seems to prefer people over other animals. He does seem to know some basic commands, but could still use some work on leash manners and controlling his excitement when meeting new people. Donny just has so much love to give to a family and we know he will make someone a great companion! If interested in adopting Donny please fill out an application online by going to this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/RAB/Dog

Story
Tank is a 2-year-old male XL Bully with a heart just as big as his head—and trust us, it’s big. He came into our care after being abandoned by his owner and left with someone who truly wanted the best for him but couldn’t meet his needs. Thanks to that kind human reaching out for help, Tank landed safely with us and is now absolutely thriving. When Tank first arrived, he was on the skinny side, and we’re still working on helping him fill out a bit. The good news? Other than that, he’s healthy, happy, and more than ready to find his forever home. Tank is genuinely one of those dogs who wakes up excited to be alive. Whether he’s lounging with his people, chewing on a favorite toy, or soaking up attention, he does everything with pure joy and gratitude. He adores people—every single one. He’s never met a stranger, only future best friends. Despite being over 70 lbs, Tank is convinced he’s a lap dog and will happily try to climb into your lap or gently press his giant noggin against yours to ask for affection. While he’s past the puppy stage, Tank still has that playful, puppy-like spirit. He loves chewing on bones, playing with stuffies, and generally being a goofy guy. He does occasionally mouth arms or hands during play, but he’s learning his manners and improving all the time. Tank does wonderfully with children and is currently indifferent to other dogs. With time and comfort, he may become more social, but he’s perfectly content focusing on his humans. He’s fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and knows his basic commands like sit, shake, and coming when called. Tank would do well in just about any home looking to welcome a loving, silly, affectionate companion with a very large head and an even larger heart. In return, he promises endless love, snuggles, laughs, and smiles. If you’re ready for a loyal shadow who thinks you’re the center of the universe—Tank is ready for you.
