Story

Serenity is a sweet girl that's looking for a low traffic home. She has lived with another dog and a cat in her previous home, but she may be happiest not having to share her space with another dog. She likes to play with balls and chew toys! She's super loving and eager to please, especially if you have treats! Her ideal home will be one where she has a yard to play in as cars are scary and going for walks can be a bit much.

Roland

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

Columbia, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Roland is the sweetest little guy. When he gets excited his tail wags and his whole body wiggles. Roland knows sit and down. He is good on walks for the most part. Sometimes his excitement can get the better of him and he will pull. He is excited by people, wildlife, cats, and other dogs. Roland can get jumpy when meeting new people outside but tends to be more reserved inside. He may knock down small children and can be mouthy when he gets excited. He has not exhibited aggression during the time I've had him but can play rough with an open mouth and may nip when overly excited. We are working on this and he has gotten better. Roland is crate trained and housebroken. When I first brought him home, he relieved himself in the house. We have corrected this, though he might regress in a new environment. Roland seems to have separation anxiety, he may be good for a long time but his limit is about five hours. I currently keep him in a spare bedroom when I am away. He is not destructive and does not relieve himself while I am gone. Roland has met other dogs. He tends to play hard, but nothing too aggressive. Roland needs reminding to be gentle and would do best dogs his size or bigger. Cats would need careful slow introductions. He is not a Velcro dog, but wants to be in the same room as you. Unless it is the bathroom. During those times he wants to be in his safe place, which is currently the spare bedroom. Roland seems limited with his jumping. I have to help him into the car and into the downstairs bedroom. He is good getting on the spare bedroom bed. Be prepared to lift this cute 50 pound dog. He will put his front paws up and let his person lift him up. Roland is an eager to please dog that needs an emotional support human. His adopter ideally would be a calm and secure leader willing to invest time and energy to build a secure attachment through training with clear and consistent expectations, gentle corrections and lots of praise. Adopter must be willing to provide plenty of exercise, play, and a variety experiences. In return, Roland will provide the sweetest emotional connection, loyalty, loving kisses and lots of snuggle time.

Henry G

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos

Columbia, MO

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Henry is very loving and cuddly inside the house! His funny and goofy personality gets him into a little trouble around the garbage and he has quite the time containing his curiosity. He loves to play and has done very good while playing with other dogs of the same size. Outside he can be a bit reactive to unfamiliar people and animals and throws a bit of a fit if he can't get to them. He's VERY treat motivated! Henry is a Priority Paw as he has been in the shelter for a long time. Volunteers say "Henry was super sweet, and loved getting the attention. He would need some help with leash skills as he pulled most of our walk/jog. If anyone is looking for a running partner, that loves people, this is your guy! He loved jogging with me and did not tire out until close to the end of our walk/jog. We passed a few different people and he was happy to see them. He was very excited to try to get squirrels and birds so he might not be the best with other small pets/birds." "Met Henry today, and we spent our time at Stephens Lake Park. He was excited to be out and about. Really pulled on leash any time we were walking, but would stop immediately and come right to me when called. He loved the lake and plunged in for a swim. Had blast playing fetch with large walnuts, tossing them in the air himself so he could chase them. Would love a yard where he could run and play (especially with balls). Henry needs someone with much patience and physical strength; he's a lot of puppy! But he's a good boy with a sweet heart, and with consistent, gentle, discipline he's going to mature into a loving and loyal family member." "Henry was such a delight and will be the best companion for someone who loves to really *play* with their dog! From the little time I spent with him, he was very intuitive and clever. He was obsessed with having his butt scratched."

Mistley

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 7 mos

Columbia, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Mistley is such a silly girl! She can be a bit shy in new places, but some treats and a nice belly rub are the ways to her heart. She loves to explore and follow her nose. This girl is up for adventures with you! Volunteers say "We walked around the Mizzou campus and stayed at home for a while. Mistley is kind of a shy girl at first but shows confidence to people pretty quickly. She behaved very well when she stayed at home." "Mistley was truly the softest dog I think I've ever felt. She was very shy but so sweet and angelic. She was good on the leash, except in rare silly moments where she became a parkour expert but was such a little sweetie. She is destined for life with someone who appreciates a true girlie pop."

Glizzy

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 9 mos

Columbia, MO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Glizzy (or "GG" as we sometimes call her) has been the best girl! She settled in and warmed up to everyone very fast. She is house and kennel trained and has had no issues when left alone out of the kennel for short amounts of time (we usually come back to her snoring on the couch). She knows how to sit and since she's been staying with us she has learned to "lay down" and "leave it" she is a quick learner and is very food motivated. She also knows "ok" as her release word for food/treats. She is pretty good on the leash too! However, her favorite spot is the couch. She will lay there all day if you let her, and she loves cuddling up next to you. She likes playing with her toys and seems to like balls/fetch the best. We have lots of visitors at our house and she does great & enjoys meeting new people, everyone who meets her loves her. She is truly so sweet and would make the perfect little companion!

Miley is a crowd favorite. We all adore her and how far she’s come. She came to us TERRIFIED. She was afraid of everything. She didn’t want to come out of her kennel for days. She had been through so much trauma. Since then, she has flourished. She LOVES dogs. She will need at least one dog in her forever home as she relies so heavily on them for confidence. She is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. She will need time to not be afraid of new people. She will initially want to hide. But once she warms up, she’ll be smitten. And so will you! She’s low maintenance. She loves her crate, loves to play outside and loves her toys. She doesn’t ask for much. She will also require a securely fenced yard. Miley's adoption fee has been waived.
