Story
Bindi is a 3 year old female purebred pitbull. Loves children, dogs, cats, and pretty much everything. She's happy go lucky. Potty trained. All around a really great dog. She needs a fenced in yard. She isn't an outside dog. I will not give her to anyone who will leave her chained up or outside. She has so much passion for life and has never met a stranger. She'd do better in the country verses a city setting.

Story
Reba is an Australian Cattle Dog mixed/heeler and Australian Shepard mix. It is with a very heavy heart that we must rehome her. She has been with us since we got her as a puppy from a rescue. She has always been timid of unfamiliar people and big men. She will bark and growl when new people enter the home but she warms up to them quickly. She can be super affectionate, is a great cuddler and is a great dog for her people except one big issue which is that she occasionally gets an aggressive streak and snaps/bites. She has gotten each of the members of our family at least one good time and this last time she bit my stepson in the face and he required stitches. I follow that with the fact that she is very well trained in commands, she’s housebroken and she is wonderfully loving 99% of the time. At this time my family has decided that we either have to rehome or euthanize her and it breaks my heart. She would make a wonderful companion for someone single and active.
