Eros is all the puppy energy you could ask for in a fully grown medium sized dog. Sweet, smart and easy to train, this boy loves to play with dogs, cats, and people.He's crate trained and house trained.This little pit mix is the definition of super chewer! He loves to gnaw gnaw gnaw his toys, so teeth-safe durable toys are a must! He will happily take on destuffing a plush toy, though he tends to try to ingest anything he shreds, so supervised destuffing is necessary.Eros LOVES couches! He has shown little interest in sleeping on the bed with his foster siblings/parents. His go-to sleep, nap, and sit place is the couch.Eros would love a dog sibling to play with, and while he likes cats, he can be a bit much, so any feline siblings need to be dog savvy and have places to get up and away from his antics.He is learning leash manners, but will need continued education in this area. He's not aggressive, just impatient and overly excited to gogogo.Adoption fee of $150 includes neuter, microchip, vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing, and heartworm/flea/tick preventionApply here: https://2pawsup.org/applications/adoption-application/November 3, 2024, 1:08 am

Sasha is such a sweet girl. She was brought to the shelter full of milk and emaciated. It was obvious she had a tough start to life. This sweet girl deserves her happily ever after. She is extremely loving and doesn't know a stranger. She is happy to meet anyone as long as they provide tons of head scratches. She's doing well with potty, leash and crate training. She will need someone to continue her lessons. She's very smart and treat motivated. She is very excited when meeting new dogs and has done well with them off her home turf. Sasha is protective of her home, so it is important that she be the only pet.  Apply to meet Sasha and you're sure to get a new best friend. Adoption fee of $150 includes spay, microchip, vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing, and heartworm/flea/tick preventionApply here: https://2pawsup.org/applications/adoption-application/November 3, 2024, 1:08 am

Story
Django, a 75lb Pitbull, is 9 years old and displays no behavioral issues. He is well-versed in house training and has received training classes at PetSmart since he was a puppy. Known for his calm demeanor, affectionate nature, and excellent compatibility with kids and other dogs, Django readily welcomes children of all ages and enjoys being in the company of people. He is up to date with all his vaccinations, and his complete medical records and history are accessible at Banfield. As I navigate the complexities of an ongoing high-conflict custody and divorce case, along with the mental strain it entails, I find myself unable to continue caring for this animal. My daily struggles have reached a point where I cannot bear the additional burden on my own well-being. Moreover, impending relocation necessitates parting ways with this pet. Each passing day, the stress intensifies, and I urgently need to have this animal relocated to restore peace and facilitate my progress moving forward.

Story
I found Hunter on the street about 3 months ago. I took him to the animal shelter, and he came up for adoption and I adopted him. I would describe Hunter as an adorable and playful boy. He can be shy in new surroundings and places but adjusts quickly. I live in an apartment and didn't realize he is a very active dog, and I would prefer trying to find someone to adopt him who has a house, yard, and even children and other dogs to play with. He loves to be outside and play tug of war with his rope. I can't stress enough about his character being so sweet and playful. Hunter is 1 year 7 months old and weights 44lbs. He walks on the leash fairly well and from my experience when I walk him, he doesn't bark at people or animals that he sees. He does bark when he wants to play. I do have all his shots up to date and can provide his vet records and I did a DNA test on him also to screen for any health issues and found known. I can provide you with that report too.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  All dogs on our website ARE available and require an approved Best Friend Pet Adoption application before you can be considered or meet any of our dogs. Please consider this sweet girl today! Here is our application:    https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC Frannie is a sweet and beautiful, Blue Brindle Pittie. She's about 2 years old and weighs around 45-50lbs. She is gentle natured with lots of personality. She's super cute and will give you a silly, full body "giggle" wag! She loves being with her people and is a wonderful companion. Frannie has done well with her crate training and house breaking. She needs to be crated when left home alone (6-7 hours), and as of now she is crated overnight. She's food & toy motivated, eager to please and is learning basic manners. She is gentle with food and waits patiently for her meals. At times, she still acts like a puppy but also likes to chill on a dog bed and entertain herself with a bone or toy. Frannie overall has great leash manners. She can be an alert barker and would do best in a home not an apartment. Although, she goes potty well on leash, she would really enjoy a fenced yard to get her "zoomies" out. She has a moderate energy level and after playtime with her foster siblings, she enjoys exploring the yard and sunbathing on porch or lounging on couch/bed. She also likes to play fetch and is learning to bring back. Frannie would do best with good natured, neutered male dog that could help guide her when she's unsure. She would do OK as a solo dog also as she loves getting attention from her humans. She would do best with older kids (8+). She's good with "dog savvy" cats, but if kitty is shy and runs, the chase may be fun. Slow and appropriate intros are always recommended with kitties. Frannie had an unstable start to life and has some insecurities, but she will open up quickly with treats and sweet talk. She would succeed greatly with an experienced owner that can continue to build her confidence. Please consider adopting (or fostering) this sweet little lady! Check out Frannie's videos below!

Story
Hi! My name is Cedar! I am a male puppy with a big heart full of love. I am as sweet as can be, always ready with a friendly wag for everyone I meet. There's not a mean bone in my body. I am also confident, smart and curious. I do well with other dogs (my foster home has 3 big dogs and I love hanging out with them!) and I have met a cat but I didn't pay much attention to them. I have not met children. I am starting to learn the house training stuff... I know where to go when I am in my puppy pen and when I am outside I know to go potty. I have not begun crate training just yet but my foster mom thinks since I am so smart that I will take to sleeping in a crate no problem. My favorite thing? Cuddles! Yes, I am a playful and energetic pup but I also love nothing more than a good snuggle. I am still trying to figure out what toys are but I have figured out that the soft, fluffy ones are a lot of fun! I also love a peanut butter filled Kong...that is my favorite snack! I have been to the vet, so I am up to date on my shots and I am microchipped. I've been hearing my foster parents say what a good puppy I have been so I must be pretty special. I love them a lot but I would love anyone who showers me with love and affection. In return I promise to fill your life with joy, love and lots of cuddles! Please come meet me so you can see how special I am!

Have you been considering adopting a dog but thought maybe a weird little gremlin might be more fun?Then boy, oh boy, do I have the dog for you.Meet Pancake! This perfect little nugget spent the first two weeks of her life in foster hiding in a bathtub, but she's come so far since then. As she's learned to be brave, Pancake's personality has really come out and it is SO much fun. She's playful, silly, and loves to cuddle. Pancake is very sensitive and very smart, making her a blast to train. Her new skills include: place, sit, down, and wait.Pancake is learning about being comfortable on leash and enjoys short walks through the neighborhood. Pancake enjoys other dogs but she's a little awkward, so selective dogs might not love her vibe. She's what we call a "stiff greeter", so if your dog prefers a more easy-going playmate, then Pancake is not your girl, however she does live in harmony with 7 of the 8 other dogs in my home. Currently she's very scared of cats but could be friends with one who's a bit nicer than her current foster brother. Pancake is not suited for a home with children under the age of 13. For questions regarding Pancake, please feel free to email her foster mom at camilleandthedogs@gmail.com OR to see more of her story check out @camilleandthedogs on Instagram.

Meet Detective Stabler! He can find any treat at any time! While we are not sure if he is an actual Law and Order fan, we do know that he is a fan of snuggling on the couch! How do we know? His family had to bring him to us after their home was flooded during recent storms. They were kind enough to let us know everything they could to set him up for success for his new adopters. Thanks to his family, he is very well mannered and potty trained and walks well on a leash. He knows sit and uses a gentle mouth taking treats.He is a love bug who leans in for hugs. He is an older pup, if you are looking for a companion that is out of the puppy stage and wants to go on adventures with you. He is ready to go home today with a new, loving family! If you're interested in learning more about Stabler, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Stabler 214158." As mentioned before, Stabler is ready to go home today - he is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and is already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
