Hi I’m Cookie! I’m a six-year-old Pitbull mix. I‘m a tail wagging, positive thinking lady with a perpetual smile. I keep it gentle and positive even if I require handling by a vet. While my socialization skills with people are superb, I could use some help with learning manners as I can be a messy eater, bark when I’m bored, and my skills on leash could use some work. But, I’m eager to learn and I am especially motivated with anything that I can eat! Invest some time in me, and I will reward you and kind with my loyalty and love!

Hi, I’m Bernie. I’m a 4-year-old, male, Pitbull. I’m shy, and can be apprehensive with new people. But patience calls me out of my shell. Once I’m out and about, I can’t get enough attention from people! Loyal and cheerful, I’m always eager to see my human friends, always beckoning for their affection, and I return my tender love in kind. My sweet nature is only matched with my independence. I remain quiet, and well-adjusted when I’m alone. Besides my warm personality, ...I’m proud to say that I‘m proficient in my basic skills like sit, stay, down, and shake. I would fit best in a home with a family that understands that relationships are a process, and who are looking for a softhearted friend.
