Story
Name: Kai Breed: American Bully Mix Age: Around 4 years old Background: Kai was surrendered by his owner who could no longer provide for him. Personality: Kai is a muscular, beefy boy that likes to have fun. He is energetic and athletic. He loves going for walks and playing (and he is surprisingly very calm and easy to walk). He has adorable butt wiggles and will twirl in your arms when he's happy. He absolutely loves affection and will lean on you for pets and hangout with you on the couch. He can get excited when he initially sees you, but he is smart and food-motivated which makes training easier. He is already neutered, up to date on shots, and house trained. He knows "sit" and takes treats very gently. He is a big boy who sometimes can't control his excitement, so he'd likely do better in a home without small children. Ideal Home: He would likely not make a good apartment dog, as he loves to run and play. He appears dog-friendly and seems interested in cats, but doesn't lunge or display aggressive behavior towards them. Final Thoughts: Kai is a handsome, big guy with a sweet face and heartfelt eyes. He would do great with someone willing to exercise him. His tail is always wagging and he would love to have a companion! Note: Kai is heartworm positive and is completing a round of antibiotics. After this, he will take heart worm prevention each month which is something we highly recommend for all dogs, not just HW+ ones.

Story
Everyone knows pittie mixes take longer to find their forever home. Let’s not make that the case with Duncan! Duncan spent 6 weeks at our local Animal Control before his fosters picked him to take home. His personality is still emerging but so far we know he loves playing with his rope, chewing on a bone, & playing fetch in the yard. You should see his little hops! Duncan is such a great boy inside the house too. He will curl up in a ball and sleep while his fosters eat dinner or do everyday activities. He is also used to being crated 8-5 while his fosters are at work. He’s housebroken! Though he’s not currently fostered with other dogs, he is dog friendly and loves a good game of chase. He could use some work with leash manners so a yard is a plus. He’s neutered, microchipped, UTD on vaccines & prevention. Interested in meeting this big boy? Fill out an application on our website.

Story
Hello my name is Bella! I am the sweetest petite 45 pound 4 year old lab/pittie mix. I am a snugglebug who loves belly rubs and couch cuddling. I live with my foster parents and two human brothers and Cody the cat. I love all people but when we are at home I especially like my foster mom.  I follow her around everywhere! I am fully house-trained! I do like to sleep in my crate during the day when everyone is gone and at night when it's bedtime. I love to go for walks in the woods and around the neighborhood and have been learning to walk with a gentle leader to help keep me focused. I can sometimes be reactive to other dogs. In my past, mainly dominant females gave me a hard time, so it would be best to do slow introductions. In my previous foster home,  I liked to help my foster mom with kittens and puppies. I love them!! I have been learning the commands stay, place, heal and watch and it would be great to continue learning those in my new home.  I am calm and quiet but I do get the zoomies and I do love a good play, so it would be great to have a fenced backyard. My foster mom wants you to know that she thinks that my forever family is going to be so blessed and lucky to have me. Oh and if you love adventures I absolutely love to ride in the car.   I can't wait to meet you! Love, Bella Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.
