Story
I'm sad to post this but we have to rehome our 4 1/2 year old pitbull. I'm pregnant and she's become too much for me to handle. She is fixed and UTD on her shots. She is good with other dogs! XL kennel included. Disclaimer she is terrified of going down the stairs! But she is super sweet and hyper needs a big yard!

Story
Knyxy is a 4 year old silver lab who needs a loving home and family to take care of her as we no longer have the means to give her an environment she deserves. She would do best in an active house but not necessary if walked twice daily. Ideally should be the only dog, but might be okay with other large dogs. She needs your love, patience, and individual attention. With continued at home training and consistent exercise, Knyxy is a great dog to have. She loves to chasing after the ball, swimming and running, car rides and gets excited when she gets to tag along on errands. She is a highly food-motivated dog who will perform all of her tricks for a snack which could just be an ice cube or a treat. She’s a very smart dog and knows sit, down, crawl, paw, wait, come, spin and drop it. She is house trained and crate trained. You will fall in love with her as she loves to get her head pet and belly rubs. We will provide whatever food that remains, bowls, toys, crate, clothes, and medicine.

Story
Diesel is a 6 year old pit that I adopted from craigslist 5 years ago. He is dog/cat aggressive which is why I can no longer keep him. He has had lots of proper training with multiple trainers and listens very well when he’s by himself. He knows sit, stay, no, paw, dog out (our version of down/get off/leave the area), stand up, roll over and has decent recall. He’s incredibly cuddly and loves his people more than anything. He loves his bones/chew toys and rope toys. He does not tear anything up or get into things he shouldn’t. He loves school age children but he’s never been around a baby. He can be skittish around men the first time he meets them but usually ends up loving them once he knows they’re safe to be around. He has absolutely no health issues. Diesel comes with his prong collar, leash, harness, his favorite bone, and a gallon sized baggy full of his current dog food.
