Story
Ollie is a great American Staffordshire terrier. Sometimes called a “pocket pittie” due to their smaller size. My family rescued him from the shelter. We fell in love with him because of his friendly personality. He is an excellent family dog and great with kids. He loves to cuddle and is the worlds biggest lap-dog. He does not like cats though. He also does not like being left alone. This is the problem since both his parents work and his kids are in school all day. He tends to chew/ eat pretty much anything within reach. He really would be a great companion to a family that can be home most of the time.

Story
I adopted Molly from Animal Services. She is 4 years old and blind in one eye. She is a very sweet and loving dog who is happy and playful. Molly needs to be with someone who is has experience with potty training as well as the time to be patient with her. I was hopeful that she would be able to come to work with me, but whines and barks while in her kennel. She is taken out for walks consistantly but always comes inside and pees on the floor/carpet. She was very calm and mellow (surprisilgly) at the animal shelter and I spent time visiting her there before I adopted her. Unfortunatly when we got home the problems with potty training began. I'm hoping she can find a home with someone who is able to help her with her potty training, someone very patient, and ideally is home with her quite a bit.

Story
We first met Tucker in 2015 at the Animal Compassion Team Humane Society in Fresno, CA. We fell in love with his sweet demeanor and big goofy heart, and adopted him right away. At first he got along with our other dog but over time it has been difficult to keep them from fighting. When Tucker is away from other animals he loves to cuddle, go on long walks and just be your little shadow. He has anxiety and will need dedicated training to build up his confidence. He is insecure and can nip at children, and he has attacked a small dog at a park about a year ago. Tucker is a good dog, he is very responsive to training, he just needs proper confidence building that he did not get as a puppy. Our family is now growing as my wife has become pregnant and we do not have the money or time to give Tucker the love and care he needs. We are hopeful that an active, loving, knowledgeable person can take Tucker and give him the proper care that we unfortunately cannot provide.
