Story
Pepper’s puppies were adopted over a year ago.. They have gotten their fairytale endings but Pepper still awaits hers This lady has all the qualities that make adult dogs so awesome.  She’s house broken, sleeps through the night and is very good in her crate! She would even do okay if her people work out of the home.  Pepper is a very friendly GAL when meeting new people, so she wouldn’t mind a dog walker or a house that has lots of people!  Pepper is fostered with other dogs, but in a very structured setting. She loves playing in the yard with other dogs, but she really wants to be the apple of someone’s eye when she goes to her own home. HighlightsPotty TrainedHousebrokenCuddly/Affectionate Entertains herself with toysFood Motivated Spayed, Microchipped, Heartworm Treatment, and Vaccinated Pepper would love to join a family looking for a cuddly companion to hang in the yard with.

Story
Major is a handsome, 20 month old Pitbull mix. We adopted him at 13 weeks old. Major loves people and has never shown any aggression. He loves being with his people. He currently gets two 20-30 min walks a day and enjoys running in the yard. He lets us know when he needs to go out for the bathroom. Since we got him I was diagnosed with multiple health issues. At 65 pounds he's become too much for me to handle. He is highly trainable and will do anything for a treat! He loves chewing on bones. He knows several commands, sit, stay, down, wait, leave it, drop it, get in your bed, etc. Despite his youthful energy during the day, by 6pm he is asleep for the night. He is house trained and crate trained.

Story
Storm is a 72 lb rescue who is fully house-trained. Storm 2019 was born on August 1, 2019, and was fostered and found by a friend. I was lucky enough to adopt him. He is pure love and loyalty; unfortunately, we cannot keep him due to our recent divorce. Hi is roughly 72 lbs and a happy dog who loves to be walked daily and sunbathes out the window. He is good around people, children, and animals. He gets excited when he sees people and animals, but he is in control and has totally normal behavior for a dog. He has a very happy disposition.
