Story
Chase is a wonderfully sweet 55-lb one year old looking for a loving home with an experienced adopter and no other pets in the house. We adopted him through a foster program and immersed him into a household with three other dogs. He loves long car rides, walks, cuddling, exploring the beach, ocean waves, playing with toys and chasing a tennis ball. He is a wonderful walking partner and he is house trained! He loves other dogs but is reactive to them and would do better with an owner that can spend the time in training to help manage some of his territorial behavior. He has anxiety about being left alone, particularly in the crate but does very well at night being crated in the same room as us. With more extensive training, he will be a fantastic family dog. We will miss Chase and would love to be able to visit him after he is re-homed.

Story
Nala is a sweet dog, with who I’ve built such an immense bond with the last two years. She is a sweet girl who loves walking, sun bathing, and playing. She loves her belly rubs, treats, and is such a great house dog. Nala is kid-friendly, but she is also scared of them so when she’s around our toddler she won’t get near her. Unfortunately, Nala comes from a place of neglect. When we adopted her, we knew we had lots of work to do, so we did lots of one-on-one training with her with a personal trainer. She has come a long way, she graduated from Obedience 101 Class from Paw by Paw. In early July, we had an accident, where she got provoked by a person and she bit them. Unfortunately, because my husband and I don’t have our place, we are looking for someone who’s going to love her and give her the attention that she needs. It breaks our hearts having to rehome her, and I never thought I’d have to do this. We hope to find her the right home, she’s our sweet girl.

Story
AUTUMN Female, spayed 3-1/2 years old Pit bull terrier 60 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Follow Autumn on Instagram at #lovepaws_autumn Autumn was incredibly emaciated when she first arrived at the shelter, just skin and bones. As soon as we saw how bad her condition was, we knew we had to get her out of the shelter and into a loving foster home where she'd get 3 square meals a day and soft dog beds to recover in. She's pretty low energy and mostly sleeps the day away. Autumn is super sweet, incredibly chill and snuggly. She's not into playing with toys (maybe this is the first time she's had them and she's not sure what to do?), but loves a walk. She wants to be with her people all the time, but is also happy to be in her crate when home alone. Her favorite pastime is couch snuggles with her humans. Interested in adopting? Of course you are!

LAYLA IS A COURTESY POST - IF INTERESTED, EMAIL INFO@PETEY&FURENDS.ORG Name: Layla Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 14 years old Best Guess for Breed: Pitbull Terrier Mix Weight: About 35 lbs Good With: Layla LOVES all adults, but would do best in a home as an only dog with no kids or cats. Story: Layla was rescued by a local family many years ago. She isn’t comfortable with small kids and so she is looking for a new family to live out her golden years kid and dog free! Layla LOVES all people - she wants nothing more than attention and pets. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Layla is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. LAYLA'S PERFECT MATCH: PERFECT FAMILY: A home with 1-2 adults. Layla loves humans that give her love and affection, and she gives it right back. We recommend that she not go to a home with small children, as they do not yet know how to be gentle with her. We also recommend a house with no other animals. Layla loves all the love and affection for herself! She will be your best friend and cuddle partner. PERFECT HOME: One with a fenced in yard away from the bustling city. She loves lounging in the grass or basking in the sun when the weather is warm.  EXERCISE NEEDS: As an older dog, Layla is very mellow and will lounge and cuddle all day. Perfect for those who work from home and just want some company! She will get excited for 1-2 short walks a day.  She is well-trained on a leash. She also has a lot of fun playing fetch in the yard or tug of war. BEHAVIOR IN HOME: We have boarded dozens of dogs in the past, and Layla is the most loving. She is very affectionate and will give you lots of kisses. She loves to lounge on the couch, on her dog bed, or a human bed if you allow her (she will snuggle under the covers). She loves human attention. She will approach humans and give them a sniff, and will ask for pets or scratches. She initially gets excited when guests come over but after a few minutes, she will lounge again. She is a fairly quiet dog and does not bark much. 1-2x a day she enjoys a walk and/or playing with stuffed animal toys. She will go to the bathroom in the yard or on a walk. CRATE: Layla loves her crate, she will sleep and relax there during the day when she is sleepy. Since she sleeps and lounges a lot when she's alone, we typically don't crate her when we leave the house, but if we do, she does just fine and sleeps. During the night, she likes to sleep close to her humans. If you think that Layla might be your perfect match, please email info@peteyandfurends.org.November 1, 2024, 2:03 pm

ARCHIE (watch my video!) Male, neutered 2 years old Pit bull terrier 60 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention &#226&#128&#139 Follow Archie on Instagram at #lovepaws_archie Archie says, "it's football season, ya'll!" Bouncy and happy Archie escaped death row at the local animal shelter after being found as a malnourished stray. Archie's a playful pup who loves footballs (well, any kind of ball will do, really) and long walks. He is so excited to explore the neighborhood that he can be a bit of a puller at times but is learning quickly and improving daily. Archie is curious about the cats in his foster home so he should do well with dog-savvy cats and proper introductions. He has also met different ages of kids on walks and has been friendly to all. Archie loves his people and will shower them with limitless kisses and attention. He is a perfect boy and loves his crate. He enjoys a good game of tug of war and his favorite chicken jerky treats. He already knows sit and down and is eager to learn more.   Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here!  November 3, 2024, 3:32 pm

Dozer- The Lovable Lug Looking for His Forever Pack (or Foster Family!) Ready to open your heart and home to a dog who will shower you with slobbery kisses?

He's a work in progress, but with a heart of gold: Dozer walks well on a leash (with a little practice on leash manners) and is eager to please. Everything is an adventure for him, a reflection of the kindness he's never known before. Looking for a cuddle buddy or a playful pup for your current canine companion? Dozer thrives with doggy pals, but a loving home is all he truly needs. Ready to give Dozer the forever (or foster) home he deserves? Apply using the link below!

Hello, My name is Sky and I’m looking for a new home. I am an American pitbull terrier female, weights 50 pounds, and three years old. I’m also up-to-date with my rabies shots and I am spayed. I’m looking for a person who loves Pitbulls, patient, caring and willing to put an effort to train and care for me. Sky is a guard dog, she is loving, obedient, gentle when it comes to family, and very protective. She loves walks, playing fetch, and she will be your best cuddle buddy. Sky has a hard time getting along with other dogs and meeting new people. She will bark, growl, and if she’s not tamed, she will attack. Therefore, she needs lots of training, patients and understanding. If you’re interested in Sky, please contact me. Thank you,

These pups are in Rockville, Maryland too!

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. SCOOBY is a big boy...at least 66#. His estimated DOB is 1/5/2020...so he is almost 4 yrs old. He is a very FUN dog and loves playing with other dogs but he is exuberant and easily intimidates smaller dogs. He would be a great companion dog for a large breed dog. He loves everyone and just wants to play. He has not had in-house training...in a shelter with lots of dogs, the big ones don't necessarily get the royal treatment. He has been leash-trained and loves to go on walks. After he get rid of the initial excitement about going out, he walks gently on the leash. I do not trust him with a cat. If it runs, he will chase. He sees them as lots of fun. Scooby would be great with a family with older children. Smaller ones would probably get knocked down during playtime. He needs a home with large back yard, I would not recommend him for an apartment. Check out our YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/KD9BUCFmQCs This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at petcentralsatx@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to the NE. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
