Henry is a very good boy, but he cant be in a home with other dogs. I'm very sad to rehome him but he needs a place where he can feel safe and I need my house to be safe for my three other dogs. Hes very loving to his humans, loves walks and runs, is pretty good on the leash, and loves toys. He still needs potty training, hes almost two, he loves cuddles and naps. I would like him to go to the best home possible where hes happy and safe.

Emmy

American Pit Bull Terrier

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Emmy is being rehomed due to cat aggression. We were told that she had been cat tested, but she has a high prey drive and has bitten ours. She is friendly to my large dog, but would probably do best as the only pet. It is our and our trainer's opinion that Emmy would do best in a home as the sole pet. Emmy is a very sweet dog. She loves nothing more than to cuddle on the bed or couch. She adores my nephew (who is 9) and loves to wake him up with kisses. She has shown no signs of food aggression or resource guarding. She is very smart and figured out her puzzle toy very quickly. She loves to play fetch and would love a secure yard to run around in. Emmy is vocal and will say hello to those she loves. Emmy also has separation anxiety. She goes to dayboard while we're at work but she has improved greatly since we've gotten her and place her in a crate in a room by herself, while we are home. Emmy is fully vaccinated, comes with a bed, bowls, toys, and a bag of dog food.

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I first got mila through a friend that was selling puppies. She is a pitbull mixed with lab. She was born on April 7, 2019. She is a very good puppy, good with people and very playful. Sadly, I have to give her away because finding time for her with school and work is difficult and I don’t want her on a leash or in a cage constantly. She needs more space to runaround and more interaction with owner which is something I was unable to provide for as much as I wanted to.
