Story
Pet Name: Buster Brown Breed(s): Pit Bull Color(s): Black Gender: Male Est. Age: 8 Years old Est Weight: 50 Pounds Energy Level: High House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Microchipped: Yes Spay / Neutered: Yes Current Vaccinations: Yes Training: Basic obedience Dog friendly: No Cat friendly: No Kid friendly: Buster Brown came to us 6 years ago from a drug bust/dog fighting ring. He lived on a chain and was taught to fight. Although he is good with other dogs and cats being socialized, we would prefer this Dharma Dog to go to a home with no other animals. Don’t let Buster Brown’s scars and past scare you – he loves people and would make a great therapy dog! He is very energetic and loves to go out and socialize, but Buster Brown also makes a great couch potato. Please help Buster Brown find a forever family and home of his own. Adoption donation fee and home inspection required. Thank you, Dharma DOG Movement Awareness | Advocacy | Saving Lives If you have any questions about fostering or adopting Buster Brown, please contact Dharma Dog Movement directly at adopt@dharmadogmovement.org 12/2017

He is a bit neurotic and needs someone to help him with his shadow chasing habit. Rusty does amazing in public, is a great listener, and is very well-behaved. Rusty does great with other dogs, but no cats. He needs a home with no children due to his neurotic behaviors, like getting fixated on shadows. Rusty has skin issues and is on CBD to treat them. He requires an owner willing to keep up with his medication. Rusty recently had a large mass on the side of his neck removed and has healed up wonderfully! He is finally ready to find his furever family! Please help Rusty find his people and have a home of his own. Adoption donation fee and home inspection required.

Story
Sadie is 2 years old and an absolute ball of love and energy. I adopted her from the shelter in college and thought they said they found her as a stray, she was fully trained and well behaved. I recently moved back in with my father and his dog is starting to act up because he’s not used to having other dogs around, so I have to rehome her. She’s the sweetest dog ever, but has a bad habit of chewing up things that smell like you (like shoes, clothes, etc.) Can be a little dominating over smaller dogs but doesn’t bite in any way. Sometimes love bites on your hand but never seen her do that with kids. Not sure how she is with cats, but sometimes she would chase a stray when she’d see one. It absolutely breaks my heart to have to get rid of her so I’d love to see her go with a good home. Very energetic so either a yard or someone who’s willing to walk her everyday is a must.

Story
Come in and meet Marco,Looking for an energetic, tennis ball loving goofy dog. Stop looking and come in and meet Marco. Marco enjoys chasing tennis balls, hanging out with humans and a nice long walk. He would make a great hiking buddy and road trip companion. He is not the biggest fan on meeting other dogs when on leash and we would recommend a dog on dog meet and greet if you already have dogs in the house.
