Roland

Male, 3 yrs 10 mos
Columbia, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Roland is the sweetest little guy. When he gets excited his tail wags and his whole body wiggles. Roland knows sit and down. He is good on walks for the most part. Sometimes his excitement can get the better of him and he will pull. He is excited by people, wildlife, cats, and other dogs. Roland can get jumpy when meeting new people outside but tends to be more reserved inside. He may knock down small children and can be mouthy when he gets excited. He has not exhibited aggression during the time I've had him but can play rough with an open mouth and may nip when overly excited. We are working on this and he has gotten better. Roland is crate trained and housebroken. When I first brought him home, he relieved himself in the house. We have corrected this, though he might regress in a new environment. Roland seems to have separation anxiety, he may be good for a long time but his limit is about five hours. I currently keep him in a spare bedroom when I am away. He is not destructive and does not relieve himself while I am gone. Roland has met other dogs. He tends to play hard, but nothing too aggressive. Roland needs reminding to be gentle and would do best dogs his size or bigger. Cats would need careful slow introductions. He is not a Velcro dog, but wants to be in the same room as you. Unless it is the bathroom. During those times he wants to be in his safe place, which is currently the spare bedroom. Roland seems limited with his jumping. I have to help him into the car and into the downstairs bedroom. He is good getting on the spare bedroom bed. Be prepared to lift this cute 50 pound dog. He will put his front paws up and let his person lift him up. Roland is an eager to please dog that needs an emotional support human. His adopter ideally would be a calm and secure leader willing to invest time and energy to build a secure attachment through training with clear and consistent expectations, gentle corrections and lots of praise. Adopter must be willing to provide plenty of exercise, play, and a variety experiences. In return, Roland will provide the sweetest emotional connection, loyalty, loving kisses and lots of snuggle time.

Jax is a happy, young guy! He seems eager to learn all the tricks for all the treats. He has lived with young kids in a couple of his previous homes and done mostly well with them, but he may be a better fit for older kids. His ideal home will be a busy one where he has lots of toys to play with and room to run. He loves fetch!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Henry is very loving and cuddly inside the house! Very funny and goofy, gets into a little trouble around the garbage and has a hard time containing his curiosity. He loves to play and was very good while playing with our other dog of the same size. Outside he can be a bit defensive/aggressive to unfamiliar people and animals and throws a bit of a fit if he can't get to them. He's VERY treat motivated. He's not a big fan of unfamiliar people in his home, can be a bit aggressive and anxious.

Molly is a super sweet girl. She loves to play around with the other dogs and people. She doesn't care for cats very much, but would do good in a home with other animals. It takes Molly some time to gain trust with people, but with some love. She makes a great dog. She was our towns local runway. It took our team 2 months to catch this girl, but believe it was due to her fear for strangers. She has been working on her recall and does great for our staff and volunteers. She needs her furever home!

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jack is 1 1/2 years old and his birthday is in March! He is a VERY good dog, he loves his people and would make a great family dog for someone that has a fenced in backyard or a farm for him to run. He needs to be able to be let out to burn energy, but he will play with you all day long if you let him, he has been around two small girls since he was 8 weeks old, another dog and several cats, and have never caused a problem! Only reason I have to find him another home is due to my work schedule and kids sports events take up too much time for us to have proper time with him.

Mae

American Pit Bull Terrier Cane Corso

Female, Adult
MEXICO, MO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
While Mae might look like a giant, she's actually pretty short in stature! She's a hefty girl. Mae is as sweet as can be and loves attention, but she's not fond of sharing her human with other pets. Her ideal home would be a single man or woman that does not have other dogs or small children. She has not been tested with cats, but due to her size, we think she'd be best fit as an only fur-child. While she has not shown any aggression towards children, she is a BIG girl, and would likely be too strong for a small child. If you're interested in a loveable giant, consider Mae today!

We got Zuma at an animal shelter as a baby- we hoped we could keep him. But our neighbors have a problem with him coming over to their house. We thought he would stay in our yard, but he doesn’t, Unfortunately. We don’t want to have to keep him chained up or on a shock collar. He is great with kids and such a sweet dog! Looking for a good home!
