Story
Athena is a beautiful female pit bull terrier mix, weighing around 40 pounds. While her exact age is unknown, this lovely girl has been at the shelter twice. She was first surrendered in February 2024 due to her owner moving, then adopted in April 2024. Unfortunately, she was returned to the shelter on October 30, 2024, because she didn’t get along with the other female dog in her home. Athena has lived indoors but needs a patient owner to help her with potty training. A smart girl, Athena has already learned commands like `sit` and `kennel.` If you`re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little guidance, Athena may be the perfect match for you!

Story
This beautiful girl is searching for her perfect match—the Stitch to her Lilo. Lilo is a charming female American Pit Bull Terrier, with her age still a mystery, and she weighs around 31 pounds. She arrived at the shelter on August 13, 2024, along with two other dogs due to her previous owner’s personal circumstances—not because of anything she did. Lilo has lived with other dogs before, but a meet and greet is always recommended to ensure a great fit with any resident pets. Think Lilo could be your new best friend? There’s no better time than now to open your heart and let Lilo say `Aloha!` to her forever home.

He’s looking for someone who will provide the attention and care he needs to thrive. If you’re willing to offer Chonkers the love and support he deserves, he’ll be a loyal, grateful companion for life! Could you be the one to give him the forever home he’s been dreaming of?

Story
`Parton` me, but why is Dolly still available for adoption? This sweet girl has worked 9 to 5 trying to be the best dog, showcasing her gentle personality, but still hasn`t found her forever family! Dolly is a 4-year-old female American Pit Bull Terrier mix, weighing about 58 pounds. She came to the shelter as a stray on 9/24/24 in poor condition due to a bad skin condition, but after some care and treatment, she`s on the mend and ready to bond with her new family. Dolly can be a bit shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’s a loyal and loving companion. She recently went on a Dog`s Day Out and attended a pet adoption event where she was on her best behavior, getting along well with other dogs and children. Dolly loves going for walks, exploring, and taking in all the sights and sounds of the world around her. Could Dolly be the one you`ve been waiting for? After all, who wouldn`t want a Dolly that’s as sweet as “Jolene” but without the heartache?
