Story
Barkley is a 6 year old pitbull chihuahua mix. We rescued her at approximately 15 weeks old. Through the pandemic, she experienced behavioral changes and became reactive, resulting in us no longer being able to safely have her in our home. She would be best suited in a home with no children. She is house and crate trained, does fairly well on a leash, but requires lots of exercise and patience to be at her best.

Adoptable Bea Bea is the type of dog that when she sees you, she immediately goes into full body wags. Whether you just met, have been gone for 5 minutes or all day, this girl will shower you with affection.  Bea is: Sweet Easily entertained - she loves chewing her bone or playing with toys House broken - she sticks to her schedule, but she’ll also tell you if she’s gotta go real bad Crate trained - ask her to go to her “house” and she’ll settle into her crate Loves kids - because of her clumsiness, she’d do best in a home with kids 10+  LOVES to run, play fetch and flop in the grass  Bea is still a young dog who loves learning. She knows basic commands, checks in regularly with her handler on leash, and knows touch cues.  She would do best in a home with a yard, or a quiet, neighborhood for exercise If you are ready to adopt an ULTIMATE CUDDLE BUG and overall goofball, Bea’s your girl.     Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

**NOLA NEEDS SOMEBODY THAT HAS EXPERIENCE WITH TRAINING REACTIVE DOGS** Nola is the sweetest girl and only wants your time and attention, but she is very reactive to people that she doesn't know and other animals. I am only rehoming her because I don't have the time to work with her and give her the time and attention she needs. She loves to cuddle on the couch and take up as much space as possible in the bed to be close to you. If you are upset she will lay against you and lick your tears away.

Story
Gravy is an amazing, sweet, loving, family dog that is unfortunately aggressive with stranger dogs. 5 y/o. He is absolutely wonderful with our three young children, and I trust him 100% with humans. We have another dog that he has adjusted to and is very loving, but he has and will attack unknown dogs when confronted with them. We have tried for two years to keep him by keeping him away from other dogs, but he's gone out of our yard through an accidentally open gate twice and attacked smaller dogs out walking with their owners. He's also attacked another dog while out walking with our kids. He'd be perfect for a family that lives in a more rural area where he won't encounter other dogs. He's fully up to date on his shots and heartworm meds and has no health issues. He's an absolute teddy bear (to humans) and we'd love for someone with a loving home to take him. We adopted Gravy from Operation Paws for Homes and they are unable to find a foster to take him back.
