Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rowen came to us on 4/23/2022 from our friends at the Rescue Network after he was rescued from a reservation in South Dakota. He's now a long term resident who's been overlooked, which is a shame. Having been with us for so long, one of our volunteers was curious about his breed mix and decided to find out with a dog DNA test. He's a pit bull mix with about a quarter of German shepherd and his appearance does hint at these results. He's a big boy who's a lot of fun and is now about 4 years old. Rowen loves people, likes to play hard, and would make a great walking/running companion. He has been fully vetted and his $125 adoption fee is sponsored. Rowen is doing really well with basic training but does forget his manners sometimes. He needs someone who is willing and able to provide him with the exercise he needs, along with consistent training and boundaries. He is strong and active. He's a happy and outgoing dog with a slight mischievous streak that is kinda endearing. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He's looking for an adult only home. Teens are fine. He will require regular exercise to keep him happy and well balanced.

Alma (aka Pretty)

Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Alma is a pit bull mix who is now going on 6 years old and has had quite the history with us. In 2020, at around a year old, we first received her from the city pound after she was held there and never claimed by an owner. She was with us for over a year and was adopted in January 2022. Her owner's situation changed drastically in 2023, so Alma was returned in July 2023 after 18 months in her home. It was hard for both of them, as Alma (known in her home as "Pretty"), was very loved by her owner. Alma did very well in her home. It was a fairly quiet environment with just Alma and the lady who adopted her. Alma did tend to be pretty protective of her person as it was just the two of them. We do think she would do best in a similar environment. She does seem to respond best to women. She's looking for an adult only home (teens are okay). No other animals. Alma is strong and active and will require regular exercise. Many of our volunteers have a soft spot for her and would like to see her get back into a home for good. She has been fully vetted and her fee is $125.

Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Story arrived as an owner surrender on 10/4/2023, when she was still under a year old. Before she came to us, she'd already been through several homes that didn't give her stability or everything she needed. We named her Story because she already had quite the story to her life for such a young dog. She is shy, but our volunteers have been working with her. She's a petite pit bull type mix, maybe with lab and other breeds. Her fee is $150 and she has been vet checked, spayed, and chipped. Story does need basic training. She hasn't had a lot of work on leash walking but is slowly getting the idea. She's looking for a somewhat calm home in which she won't be left alone for long hours. She needs someone who is ready, willing, and able to work with her on proper socialization and confidence. She is doing really well with other dogs and is gaining confidence. We're thrilled with her progress! Cats? We're not sure. Kids over 10 would be best. NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.

Ingrid

Pit Bull Terrier American Staffordshire Terrier

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ingrid is a friendly and stocky pit bull type gal with a beautiful brindle coat. She arrived on 10/23/2023 as she was found "stray", if not abandoned, at a local park. She was never claimed by an owner after fulfilling the legal hold time with us. She is around 3 years old and not too large, at around the 50 pound mark. She has been fully vetted and microchipped and her fee is $150. Ingrid enjoys the company of people. She would do best in an experienced adult only home (teens should be fine). We do feel that she would prefer to be the only pet in the home. She is pretty well mannered but might need a bit of basic training. She's a princess!

Todd

American Pit Bull Terrier Dogue de Bordeaux

Male, Adult

Size

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

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Todd is a large, happy, and beefy pit bull type mix who came to us on 12/3/2023. He was found stray in a rural area, held for the legal hold time, and no one claimed him. He is about 3 years old and we are guessing he could be mixed with mastiff and/or bulldog. He has been vet checked and neutered and his fee is $150. Todd is strong and has shown a little bit of dog reactivity at the shelter. This is not unusual as it's a pretty rowdy environment. He has calmed down a bit since his initial arrival. We do think he would do best as the only pet in the home. He could potentially do okay with a nice female dog. He loves people but does need a strong owner who can handle his strength and keep up with his energy level. He does appear to have had some basic training. No small kids for this bulldozer. This is due to his size and strength, not his personality!

Dawn

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dawn came to the shelter from the city pound when her legal hold time expired. She's a strong and muscular pit bull type dog who is about 3 years old. She's really quite beautiful. She does have a particularly interesting vocal style when she's excited. She has been vet checked and spayed and her fee is $150. Dawn is a happy, affectionate, and athletic girl who loves people. She could be okay with male dogs, but seems to dislike other female dogs, which is not unusual. We're thinking she'd be best in a home without small kids due to her strength. Cats? We have no way of knowing. She will require some basic obedience training but seems happy and eager to please. Exercise is a definite must to keep her happy.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I’m Roesch! I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by my amazing family — my human kids, my siblings, and, of course, my one special sibling that I’m inseparable from. We share so much love and make the best team. We really need a home together, as we are truly a package deal and bring out the best in each other. I’m not a fan of cats or other dogs, and I can be a little shy around new people and loud children. But with the right family, I’m a loyal and loving companion who will give you my whole heart. I absolutely love chasing rabbits and squirrels — and if I catch one, I’ll proudly show it off! I’m also potty trained and know commands like "house," so I’m good at coming inside when it’s time.Sadly, my family is going through a tough time. The cost of my vet care has become overwhelming, and with a big family needing to move, they can't find a home with a yard big enough for all of us. We’re hoping to find a stable home. Please consider meeting us and giving us a second chance.
