Story
Mario is a 2 1/2 year old " Blue Nose" (dark gray) American Pitbull Terrier. Words we use to describe him: Happy, Athletic, Eager to please, Goofy, Energetic, Handsome & Muscular. Mario came to us last March and tested Heartworm disease positive. After months of difficult treatments he is now healthy and ready for adoption. Mario gets along with other dogs, but he can be overwhelming for some because of his eagerness to play. He would do best in a home without cats. His favorite activities are playing fetch, going for walks & runs, playing tug, and cuddling. Mario is a fetch MANIAC, which is his favorite way to use up his energy! He also likes to sit quietly while being pet and talked to calmly, which he finds soothing. He is currently working on basic commands and house manners and is catching on fast. Mario is extremely food and toy motivated so keeping his attention is not a problem. He knows sit, stay, side and lay. On cold winter days he likes to release energy by playing tug and trading tricks for treats. Mario requires daily exercise, consistency, and discipline; he would do best with an experienced dog owner. Mario is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. He is heartworm negative and his forever home will have to be very careful to make sure he gets his heartworm preventative every month. His adoption fee is $425.00 plus sales tax.Please fill out a preadoption application if you would like to meet this gentleman.

Story
Indy is a 2yo female heeler/border collie that is well trained, but remains reactive to other dogs and people. She would do best with an active individual or individuals. She has been running with my father in law and done wonderfully! She is 100% house broken and kennel trained. She is very smart and learns things very quickly. She goes out and plays ball almost daily off leash. She has a great recall and if a ball is included, she doesnt pay attention to anything else around her. She and our other dog are not working out together and therefore I feel she would do best as an only dog. She has been around my nephew and niece so has been around infant to 5years old. I would not say she is dangerous with them, but would do best with kids that are a bit older.

Story
Enzo is an amazing boy! Please watch his video for a full recount of his journey to this point. He was pulled from a shelter in CA after our heartstrings were broken. Enzo had LOTS of unrestrained energy but after 3 years of walks, and love and learning restraint and patience, he is READY! He loves his buddies as you can see with his friend Sam who dug under the kennels to come to visit! We will be very particular because Enzo can climb that same 6-foot chain link fence just to go explore the world. He loves being the center of attention. He kennels, he downs, sits and is learning to shake. He is getting better about cats but doesn't always know his own strength with them sometimes. He is also pretty clumsy and will too easily knock over little ones so small children in the household would be discouraged. Experienced pit bull owner with vet references only, please. We are also looking for a foster family for him and will pay for them to take him to training classes. He is learning to wear a gentle leader and is doing well.

Grant would possibly be okay with another female but is reactive to the male in the foster home. Also, very curious ... a little too curious ... about the cat in the house.Hi everyone! My name is Grant, and I’m 8 years old! I’m deaf, but that small little detail only makes me more awesome! I’m a fantastic listener of body language, and vibration. I can sit, and I do so pretty dang well, just by seeing you hold up your hand! My sister Grace helps me too, and when I’m snoozing away and someone comes into the room, she doesn’t let me sleep through anything! She wakes me up by nudging me, or barking like a maniac in my face!    I’m heartworm positive, but at the very beginning of treatment, and I’m going to be just fine in a few months. The main thing right now is I can’t go for runs or play too hard.   I’m really curious with cats, and sometimes my foster mom is a little nervous when her kitten walks into my space. I think it’s better for me to be in a home with no kittens, or a cat that stands his ground with me, and can have space to roam where I’m not allowed.   I LOVE to play. I live for peanut butter kong treats, and I have so much attention and affection to give. I hope someone out there really wants to give me  a good home - we’re so lovable and we would make your family SO happy!

My name is Grace and I’m not quite 12 years old. I am calm, easy going, and love snuggles and to kiss you. My tongue doesn’t always fit into my mouth, and my foster mom keeps saying how seriously adorable I am. She thinks my eyes can get me anything, so she gives me lots of treats, and peanut butter in my kongs. They’re my favorite.   I’m HW+ like my brother, but due to my age, the humans that love and care about me think its better for my body to not undergo the treatment for the worms. I’m cool with that, because they don’t even effect me, and I’d rather remain as healthy as possible for whatever time I have left!   I am awesome around cats, kids, other dogs, and anything else. I’m basically an angel and I hope our new home will show up soon - I can’t wait to get cozy and comfortable with my new family soon!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
