Story
Sid was bought from a pit bull breeder that specializes in large blue and red pits and was raised with kids and other dogs. He is 3 years old and is nuetered. He is a very strong and stubborn dog but very loving. It is not that he is bad with kids per sey, but he plays rough and can nip while playing. When he gets riled up, when playing or whatever, he barks and has aggressive type of movements even though he is playing and his tail is waging. This behavior is scary towards a young person so the suggestion is that he goes to home where it is just adults. He does listen, he can be off leash and will not run or anythjing like that. Likes to play and chews his toys a lot.

Story
Milo was adopted last year from North Shore animal league. He is great with our family, but has difficulty adjusting to strangers. He will tend to growl and has to either be crated or put outside when we have company. He is generally good, but has attacked one of my other dogs. Between this incident and difficutly with others, my wife and I decided it was best for him to be rehomed.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Charlotte is just over 2 years old. She is a sweet girl who is full of energy. She knows basic commands, and likes to go for walks because she loves all the different smells. She loves giving kisses and getting a good belly rub. She loves using her nose to find hidden treats. Her favorite treats are pig ears. Charlotte would do best in a home with no other animals and a large, fully fenced yard. Charlotte is comfortable during fireworks or a thunderstorm. While she is fine in a crate she does prefer to be with her companion, that will make her happiest. Please understand that you will need to take things slowly and have lots of patience as you get to know each other.

He likes to think he's a soccer player and will try to dribble the ball if you kick it in front of him. Pharoah would do best in a home with no other animals and a large, fully fenced yard. He is a brave guy, whether it be fireworks or a thunderstorm. While he is fine in a crate, he does prefer to be with his companion.

Maltipoo

Male, Young
Rocky Point, NY
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bailey will be 4 years old in August. He is a male Maltipoo. He is a very dramatic dog. I’m having a lot of trouble grooming him. Such as clipping his nails etc. Bailey can be very affectionate and loves to cuddle. He is a great guard dog but too much barking for me. He doesn’t like anyone who doesn’t live with us. He gets along with my other dog but chases my cat relentlessly. I think Bailey would do best in a family without cats and young children.
