Ozzy (prison)

American Pit Bull Terrier

Size

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Name: Ozzy Age: 1-2 years Breed: Pit bull Gender: Neutered Male Current Weight: 40.3 lbs Estimated weight when grown: Full Grown House broke: Unknown Good with Dogs: Unknown Good with Cats: Unknown Good with Children: Unknown Heartworm Test: Negative Adoption Fee: $100 Misc. Information: Ozzy was brought to our shelter after being abandoned, so not much is known about his past. He is a young very energetic pup who hasn't had any training. Though he seems to be a very friendly and nice guy, attention over stimulates him and gets super excited, jumping mainly but also at times placing his mouth on you out of excitement. He is going to require A LOT of training, time and patience to learn manners and controlling his excitement. Though we can't blame him for being excited over attention, he does need to learn to be polite about it. Ozzy is also recovering from demodectic manage which has caused the hair loss, dry skin an scabs. He is currently being treated here at the shelter with several medications and received a medicated bath to help the skin. He will have to go home with medications and will require weekly medicated bathes while his skin heals. He will more than likely also require additional vet visits to recheck the skin at a vet of adopter's choice and at adopter's expense. His hair will over time grow back!

Aurora

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Name: Aurora Age: 3-4 years Breed: Pit Bull Gender: Spayed Female Current Weight: 64lbs Estimated weight when grown: Full Grown House broke: Yes, completely Good with Dogs: Yes, most (may not do well with female dogs) Good with Cats: Would do best in a home with no cats Good with Children: Yes Heartworm Test: Negative Adoption Fee: $100 Misc. Information: Aurora is a super sweet girl who is ready to find that perfect home. She was brought back to the shelter after several months because her pervious home stated that she was having a hard time getting along with the other female dogs in the home. They also stated that she may do best in a home with no cats. Previous home had outside cats so that may have been the difference in how she behaved with them as in her temporary foster, she really didn't seem to care about the cats. When adopting Aurora with other animals at home it will be extremely important to do slow and controlled introductions if you want to be successful and have everyone get along. It would be ideal to have her on a leash while roaming the house and keeping a very close eye on her for a couple weeks after adoption to ensure that you are able to interfere in any possible issues right away.

Super sweet guy. Hes becoming lazy with his age. Loves the outdoors and sun bathing. Loves to be curled up right on top of you, next to you, underneath you, anywhere touching you.

He warms to other dogs with time. In 2018 he was attacked at a dog park, which ended his love for dog parks and other dogs. Havent really done much out of the house with him since then.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marley is a very loving gentle dog. We rescued him from a bad situation 2 years ago. He has never looked back. He loves kids and enjoys playing fetch, or just running with them. He is a cuddle dog if you can believe it, loves cuddling up at bedtime almost as he is human. He will sit forever right next to you even if you’re not petting him, just loving companionship. He is a very fit dog with 3 acres to rome on here, and thinks all small critters are fun to chase. He is well mannered, doesn’t beg, and patient when it’s feeding time. We are only rehoming due to my health and needing to move cross country to a home that does not have room for a big dog.

Roland

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

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.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Pelican is a silly pup! He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up pretty quickly! He has a real zest for life and wants to be involved in what you're doing! Don't let his frown fool you - he's a happy guy! His foster says "Pelican is a happy, friendly, goofy guy! He loves all people, dogs, and cats - sometimes a little too much! He’s a classic velcro dog. He will protest when he is first left alone, but eventually relaxes after a few minutes. He goes into his kennel happily. He loves all kinds of toys. He just wants to have fun, as long as you’re involved! He’s equally adventurous and playful as he is calm and cuddly. Pelican would love an energetic playmate that doesn’t mind some roughhousing. He is responsive and smart, but headstrong at times. With some structure and consistency, this sweet boy will fit in anywhere." Another foster says "Pelican is a super sweet medium sized boy with an adorable pink nose. He loves getting attention and will reciprocate by jumping and mouthing. He has loved every person he's met! He's not a fan of being left alone and will bark and whine when you first leave the room but eventually settles down after a few minutes. He doesn't seem destructive so far, but if you leave a lot of stuff out he likes to investigate and pick up random things He loves all kinds of food and toys. He is doing really well learning basic manners. Sometimes he'll fetch, but mostly entertains himself. He doesn't pull too much on the leash because he prefers being close to you, however sometimes he'll dart around when he's extra hyper. Pelican is very silly and is sure to make you laugh! He can be playful but also has a lazy side. He seems pretty flexible, as long as he's with his person he's happy! If you'd like a smaller cuddle buddy, he would love to hang out with you 24/7! This cutie pie sleeps hard and snores LOUD but it's very endearing"
