Story
Young Pit Bull Terrier who urgently needs a foster or long-term home. My brother, Royalty's loving owner, is currently serving in the U.S. Army and was recently transferred to Germany, where her breed is restricted. He had arranged for a foster family, but due to unforeseen financial issues, they can no longer care for her. Until a new home is found, Royalty is staying with me, but with my long work hours, I'm struggling to give her the attention she needs. My brother’s wish is to bring Royalty home when he returns in February 2026. However, he understands that it may be in her best interest to find a permanent home, given the long wait. Royalty was born on June 23, 2023, and is a well-tempered, loving dog. She is microchipped, certified as a service animal, and great with both people and other dogs. She received her initial vaccinations but still needs to be spayed, she would benefit greatly from consistency and a routine that I, unfortunately, can’t provide.

I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at johnmacdowie@yahoo.comMeo! What a gorgeous gal we have here.

If you need a dog to get you motivated and out of the house, well Meo is up for that job.

Story
I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at Mollace4@gmail.com.Three legged Mia is a happy-go-lucky girl! Despite the challenges life has thrown at her she has remained a sweet and trusting dog. She spends her days in our home getting love from all five roommates and is friendly with each one of us! She is very chill and well-behaved in the house, keeping herself busy with her toys or sleeping on the couch! She loves her people and loves to snuggle. She is fully potty trained and working on crate training! She sleeps through the night no issue. Despite her three legs, she is always up for a walk! She loves being outside and walks well on leash, not reacting to the dogs or people she passes. She is such an adorable, silly dog, and would make the best companion!

Story
Max is a full throttle player, and he wants to play with you! This super handsome funster is a fantastic doggie. He is so athletic, and he thrives with a busy schedule. He is also a lover boy who curves right in when getting pettings. He’s the full package people! Max was adopted from us a few months ago but is sadly back. Not his fault at all- he was just a bit too rambunctious for the kids. We now know that he needs a family that wants to play with him a lot and go on lots of frisky, energy burning walks. He LOVES to engage with his toys with us and he is really oodles of fun. Ready for great adventures with an amazing, handsome doggie- Max is ready for you!

Story
I`m in a FOSTER HOME! If you would like to set up a time to meet with me, please email my foster parent at joerockpeewee.70@gmail.com. TJ is the sweetest boy ever! TJ is house & crate trained, and good around young kids. He does super well sitting and relaxing in public settings, especially if he gets to meet people and receive pets and attention from them. TJ learns commands quickly (with the help of treats) and knows cues like sit, stay, roll over, crate, and place. He travels well and loves car rides and road trips. He loves to go on walks, play fetch and tug. He could do well in both city and suburban settings. He is also extremely quiet and you can usually find him chilling on the sofa or people watching at a window. TJ has learned to be home alone for longer periods of time (up to 8 hours so far), and he is always excited when you come back home to him. TJ is a goofy dog who loves to play with his owner! If you want a calm and chill dog to cuddle with on the couch, he’s the one for you!

No accidents, no chewing on shoes or furniture—just a well-mannered boy who knows how to make his family proud!Wilber is a happy pup who adores his daily walks but is equally content lounging in the sun, playfully rolling in the grass, or napping on a cozy spot inside.

Wilber truly loves to please!Wilber thrives in a warm, loving home, especially one that is quiet and calm. He’s loving, smart, and enjoys snuggling with his humans, but also knows when to settle down on his own bed. Whether you’re up for an adventure or a quiet evening at home, he’s your go-to buddy.After a rough start as a stray, Wilber has blossomed into a beloved favorite at the shelter and now in his foster home.
