Raven

American Pit Bull Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Salisbury, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Raven is a 3 year old goofball Teddy Bear "Pocket Bully". We are fostering but now the original owner is unable to take her back in again. Raven is crate trained - house trained but not entirely house broken as she is a chewer. She will eat just about anything so watch your plate! As hefty as she is, she enjoys & requires regular exercise to keep destructive tendencies at bay. Raven is funny, energetic & loving. Although alert & suspicious of new people/animals, she is super loving & more of a follower to her sister Reya (also pictured). Raven will play fetch in a limited capacity, she loves tug of war & is very strong. She is not aggressive at all but may be intimidating due to her breed & build. Raven does not have the experience with other dogs/cats, proper & thorough introductions are obviously important. Raven has been with her sister Reya (pictured) since birth so unless you're able to take both together, both sisters will need plenty of attention & companionship upon separation.

Story
Reya is a 3 year old beautiful & dainty "Pocket Bully". We are fostering but now the original owner is unable to take her back in again. Reya is house & crate trained. She does not have any destructive tendencies & is not a chewer. While she will have you laughing at her graceful rendition of the zoomies, Reya is not the most active. She may run after a ball if excited enough but won't bother bringing it back. She comes off a little awkward at times but she'll keep you laughing. Reya would be more interested in one on one time with you vs other physical activities. She is also the protector of the pack so she is always alert & suspicious of new/unfamiliar people/animals. Reya is vocal & will let you know when someone is on the property. She is NOT a fan of other pets/animals. Reya has been with her sister Raven (also pictured) since birth so unless you are able to adopt together, both girls will need plenty of attention & companionship upon separation.

Story
Welcome to the super dome! Was that super or supper? Yum sign me yup for both. Extra supper please and I've got all the supers ✅✅ checked. 🦮49 pounds...handsome hunk looking for love.Hobbies:Not sure about game hunting but i loves games and hunting for treats so I guess game hunting works! Retrieving is over rated. Chase me is better play. Voted most likely to work in customer service or as a Walmart greeter. This super Lab Loves everybody! Skills:✅Super skilled at smiling -watch out for those pointy things as I say hi. My teefs can't stop. ✅Super excited to meet you. ✅Super trainable! ✅Super fine energy for all day play. 🍟Super size those fries and let's get outta here. I've got training to do and games to play and treats to hunt. I've got jumping beans packed and my lickity licks ready. Just a little help with my hocus pocus to focus and I'll be golden.....Wait I thought I was in the lab? Good as gold? You bet. That's better. Things I'm working on. ✅ Sit. yes. Got it. ❓Down? Only after a super supper and I fall over. ❓Laughing while jumping. (apparently not something hoomans like.)❓Licking enthusiastically with accidental teeth. (also not popular. )Ok I have a few manners to work on. But I really try to be a good boy. But it's hard when I'm so full of wiggles to get out. Maybe you could help me control my exploding wiggles. I know I can go from goodest to bestest boy in no time! 👍✅ animals...if they can handle my energy and smiling habits.👍❤️✅hoomans. I Will probably do better with hoomans with height so they can jump like me (recommending 12 plus years old) with the understanding that the jumping is part of his self directed exercise program right now and may need leash restrictions in the house to correct.🦮Labradors thrive in company and adore extra attention and playing games with their owners. 🦮Many Labradors are happiest when they have something to gnaw on, so dog-safe chew toys are a great investment.With TLC -training love and commitment this athlete will be your best friend to adventure with! Stop by and get your Free licks and fill out that Chico app before he picks a new best friend. You don't want to miss out on this handsome guy😎 Primary Color: Yellow Weight: 64 Age: 2yrs 6mths 4wks

Story
Bumblebee is one of the HSWC favorite boyz! If you mention his name just about everyone gets a smile on their face. He is always happy to see you! He brightens up these cold winter days with his sunshiny personality and loving spirit.He didn't come from the best situation and he has set his sites on love this time around. He is waiting for the right family he can connect with.Here are some things we have learned about this special boi:🐶🟢He walks by dogs ok. He has been in play groups with other dogs. He does well with female dogs. He came in with his sister and father. He seems excited and curious as he passes by other dogs.When he wants to play he will drop to the ground and crouch down as if he is getting ready to launch into play mode! He has the cutest little get ready butt wiggle, Then get ready for fun!!🐈‍⬛🟡He likes to stalk the outside cats. He pretends he is a jungle hunter, then you say "come on let's go" and he moves along. He can be easily redirected.✅He is very smart and responds well to training commands.He knows "sit" and give "paw".✅ He is housetrained. He likes to keep his kennel clean. 🐾 BumbleBee will thrive with daily walks. He is energetic at first. He walks well on training collar and harness lead. He settles down once he's gets potty done and his walker engages with him.He has lower in-house, car riding and hanging out energy. He loves attention and will focus on his person inside more than outside on the walks. 🍔Food will always be high value item for him. He came in very thin. Feeding in separate locations from other dogs is recommended.Understanding that he might have had an abrupt owner previously. Trust takes a minute to build, but once he knows you he loves you. Here are the reviews from the volunteers that know him well:"Bumblebee is sleek toned and full of love. He is one of my favorites to walk. Outwardly affectionate and ready to be close to his people. He seems fine around other dogs and only curious about cats.""I Took Bumblebee out for his first day trip a few months ago and he was so scared and timid. It was hard to get him in the car and he would not eat a thing that I offered him. The next time I took him out he enjoyed the ride, he ate the whole happy meal and enjoyed opening his Christmas presents. He is such a sweet boy. He would be such a good dog for a family.""Dis boy is so handsome. All muscle. Someone cut his ears too short, but he is just the most adorable fun little guy. He's a 2 year old compact pittie. Not too big 54 pounds. Super sweet and loving!""Bumblebee seems to always get overlooked. He may look intimidating bc of his cropped ears but he really is a sweet and loving meatball. He is fun to walk and is down for anything. He has no problem with dressing up and actually seems to enjoys it. He is house trained and likes other dogs."Please consider BumbleBoy for all your best friend needs. He will complete your heart!

Story
Who doesn't love a good NOODLE?! Long, short, flat or ramen they are all so good. We have our very own HSWC slick Noodle. Come and meet her, you will be sure to have an enjoyable visit. Almost as good as a bowl of buttered -you guessed it-noodles. She considers herself more of a potsticker or lil' dumpling with lots of good stuff on the inside. She has a lovely personality but can be distracted when walking outside with all the sights, smells and sounds to check out. When she is in her kennel she wants only to BeWithYou BeWithYou BeWithYou!!!Noodle can be a variety of companions all in one- from an adventurous flavorful hiking partner to a macaroni and cheese snuggler on the sofa. But she's no noodle soup! She is a strong very durable noodle. Like a really thick lasagna. Noodles can have a bad reputation for being unhealthy but not our Noodle-roni! in fact, she is quite the healthy noodle. She suggests quinoa, rice and seaweed noodles to keep your figure looking as good as hers! No need to add high calorie sauce She is sweet enough already! This spicy little spaghetti with meatball dish will entertain you all day long. Her background is another story of LDH...Let down by hoomans. She has been passed around. She could use and good chef trainer owner to help her be her best self. She could use some accents of manners and some basic skill sauce to make this dish perfecto!! She is no egg head noodle she is a fast learner. She will pick things up quicker than you can slurp down a spaghetti noodle. Have we peaked your curiosity about this delightful dish or just made you hungry? Either way come on out and spend some love on this sweet girl. She will be happy to share your Fratelli's take out lunch! ✔️👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🐶She has alot to tell us:She is showing some barking right now at other dogs. Meet and greets are required to determine sibling placement. 🐾She is a strong walker who will need exercise and training. Approx 65 pounds.We are learning more about her every day. Please ask a staff member or volunteer more about this charming Noodle. As she settles in she will show us more about herself. ⚠️She is a dog that should have supervised interaction with cats and dogs in the home for the first two weeks to observe her style of socializing and build positive relationships. Please refer to the two week shut material and 3-3-3 manner of transitioning your new best friend to her new forever home.
