We are looking for a permanent, loving home for our two affectionate dogs, Raja and Pinky. They are brothers from the same litter, about 6 years old. They are fully vaccinated Pitbull Terriers. We are unable to provide them with the love and attention they need and are desperately hoping to rehome them together as soon as possible, but are willing to separate, if necessary.

Story
Paddy My family rescued Paddy 7 years ago. He is about 8 years old He is very affectionate, sensitive and extremely intelligent and understands many commands. He is an excellent guard dog and does not have any separation anxiety but can be temperamental with other dogs and has not been exposed to small children. My wife and I have retired and moved to a new community, which is not compatible with Paddy’s personality. Although it breaks our hearts to leave Paddy, we feel that it would be best for him to be part of a loving more stable home, involving less separation, and space more suitable to his temperament.
