Story
Meet Blaise! If you are looking for a high energy but cuddly and loving dog, Blaise is the girl for you! It’s been a rough year for poor Blaise... she just can't seem to find the right fit for her unique outlook on life. She needs to be in a home that has a fenced in yard to show off her amazing “zoomie” skills. Blaise is looking for a person who will keep her mentally stimulated. Estimated Birthday: 12/10/2018 Breed: Part staffy/part lab/all sass Weight: 55 pounds - Blaise is a smart, curious girl who loves to explore. She absolutely loves to go on hikes! She will sniff every plant, leaf, bug, rock… anything she comes in contact with. - She can walk very well on a leash with anyone who follows the expectations set up through previous training. With that said, she is reactive to other dogs so crowded areas around other dogs are not ideal places for her to explore. She can be especially vocal when she sees another dog, and she has a very unique voice that will definitely get attention. - Blaise is a rock star inside the house. Completely house and crate trained, she loves to hang out with her people either on the couch or in the bed. She just wants to be wherever they are. - As long as she gets her energy out either with a run, a good walk with lots of amazing smells, and some mind-stimulating games, she just wants to cuddle. Blaise is seeking an adopter who will continue professional training for her socialization skills and obedience. She needs to be the only pet in the home (no other dogs or cats) and because of her high energy no kids under the age of 15. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Blaise is $265 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only.

Story
Breed: Staffie mix Estimated Birthday: 11/12/2018 Weight: 60 pounds This girl is the definition of sweet and loving . She loves every human she meets and will look to her human to advocate for her and keeping up with her training. She loves to go on walks and adventures. She loves playing and has the occasional daily zoom zoom which is super cute to watch. Once she’s done, she will lay right down for a cozy nap. Mila Grace is 100% deaf so you will see in some of the photos she has an e-collar on. She is trained that vibration means come look at me . Her forever home will want to ensure they get one of these for her as this is your tool of communication. Keeping up with her training is key for this girl so she will need someone patient and willing to work with her 🙂 She is a huge ham like most pittie breeds and is an attention seeker. Her only downfall due to the breed she does have a high pray drive so no small animals would work in Mila Grace's forever home. She corrects well and is highly motivated with treats 🙂 She has gone through professional training to help her the perfect home for her. We’re still testing her with other dogs around her size but would do well with those that have a more submissive demeanor and can match her play style Apply to meet Mila Grace today!

Runts is the most lovable and affectionate dog I have ever owned. He loves attention, loves riding in the car and listens very well to instructions. I adopted him about 8 months ago, but my complex will not allow me to keep him due to his breed. I hope to find a loving home for him. He may do best with adults or older children. He has not been around small children and does not like cats.

Story
This not so little nugget is Yosemite Sam. Yosemite was adopted last season from Mama Lola's Looney Tunes litter.  Yosemite's about 10 months old now and is looking for a new forever family. Here's the basics: *We've had him in to our vet for a complete checkup.  *He's fully vetted, neutered and up to date on all vaccines.  *Our trainer has been out to visit and was impressed with the level of training that he's had already. Yosemite Sam is house trained, crate trained, and a dream on leash. He's a super smart very good boy who is attentive to his person and enjoys learning new things. He's been living in his current home since adoption and has done very well with general house & people manners. Yosemite's about 65ish pounds and has ears for DAYS! Though still technically a puppy, he's the best of both worlds. He's young, healthy, and loves to play, but he's done with the potty training, crate training, and most importantly - the teething. He lives with another dog and little human kiddos, and he would probably be happy just about anywhere. We think his dream home would include walks & a yard to play in, but the rest is negotiable! Yosemite Sam is a super duper good boy and he needs a family that will love him for the rest of his life.  To learn more or to submit an adoption application please visit our website https://www.pitsandgigglesrescue.org/adopt  ##1723063##

Story
Boys just want to play, play, play. I am a 3 month old male boxer mix. I was a stray and ended up at the shelter. I am a big love bug and want to be with my human. I am loving playing with other dogs but they often do not like to me in their space. When that happens I go about my business. I want to please the humans and will be a quick learner when it comes to manners. I am going to need a fenced in yard to play around in. I would like to have a canine friend but if my human is active and wants to play I will be okay. Because I am young, I will need to work on training including housebreaking. I am doing well in a crate when I need to be but again I want to be next to my human. I am learning to play with toys and liking the toys. I am hoping I will find someone that will love me and play with me. I will need a lot os pets and treats. If this is your home fill out an application and someone will be in touch with you. If interested in giving Odie a forever home, please complete an application at www.safeanimalhaven.com.November 5, 2024, 12:12 am

She is good with other dogs, cats and especially children. We took her to the vet and she has had all her shots, vaccines etc on December 4, 2024. We have her vet information which will go with her to the new owner. She has a sweet personality and listens well. We are in our mid 70 and not able to give her what we think she deserves.
