Story
Rose is big baby. She's needs more attention and freedom then I can provide her right now. She's crate trained. She may need to be worked on with house hold freedom as she's not use to it. She will has a brother she's always been with. I would love to find someone willing to take them both on but realize that may be difficult.Theres 2 other females in the house plus her brother. Rose and one of the other females got into it pretty bad one day and I've had to keep them separated every since but no issues with her and the other dogs. She is pit mix. Not positive on what she's mixed with. She's fixed and has had a rabbies shot. I can't provide her and her brother with the appropriate attention and space they deserve. I am rehoming them both as they deserve a much better life then I can give them right now.

Story
Stella is a very loving energetic dog. She is full grown but is a puppy at heart! She love to play fetch all day long if she could! She is very well behaved but is easily detracted by sticks and balls. I am looking for a home that can provide Stella with exercise and daily activities. She has anxiety from being cooped up in a house while we are away at work all day.

Story
Leia is a very affectionate and playful dog. She is about eight years old, but still has the playfulness and energy of a piyppy. She knows when it's time to be calm and snuggle as long as there are no squirrels in sught. She would be a great running companion and is a very devoted watch dog. She loves people, but is unaware of her size so she can be a danger to small children.

Story
Nikka is a purebred Bully who is 2 years old and is a super sweet girl. She is super loveable and very loyal to her family. When someone comes to your door she will definately let you know that someone is there and she tends to sound not so friendly to the person on the other side of the door but once she sees you or your visitor she will lick your face off before anything else. She absolutely loves kids and is fantastic with them. She is very tolerant of being hugged on and loved on and she loves to play with them. I am not sure how she is with cats or other dogs as she has only been around my male lab mix. When we first brought her home they loved eachother and got along great, so great in fact she got pregnant by him and just had a litter last week. But once she got pregnant her attitude towards him completely changed and she became very aggressive towards him. We tried numerous different training tactics to repair the relationship between them but it has only gotten worse over time
