George, pit bull terrier
George is a male pit bull terrier dog staying at Pitties and Purrs. George will get along great with your other dogs but is looking for a cat-free home. He's been vaccinated and neutered, and he's mastered his house-training etiquette. More about George: Apply to adopt George today at Petfinder.
Hey there! My name is George. My foster folks like to call me Georgie. I am a handsome and energetic boy who is also playful, fun and loving. My foster mom says that I am VERY smart and trainable. I am excellent in my crate, housebroken, and I walk well on lead. I am great with children, but should go to a home with older children due to my energy levels. I am great with dogs, after proper introductions of course, but I do chase cats. I would make a great companion for an active owner or family.
Jasper, shepherd and Staffordshire bull terrier mix
Jasper is a handsome male shepherd and Staffordshire bull terrier mix being cared for at MAS Rescue. No need to worry: He's already house-trained, has had all of his shots and is neutered. Notes from Jasper's caretakers: Read more about Jasper on Petfinder.
Jasper is 8 years old, 45 pounds, tan, beautiful and a very well trained shep/Staffy terrier mix. Honestly, he looks like a small Scooby-Doo! Lol. Jasper was returned to us after his family had him for eight years — he no longer fit into their lifestyle :-( Jasper has been to obedience training when he was young and has had a recent refresher while with us. He would love a person who will continue to reinforce all he knows by practicing/working him daily. He would appreciate new things to learn too!
Chester, Labrador retriever mix
Chester is a male Labrador retriever mix currently housed at Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF). Chester is the life of the party — he loves cats, dogs and kids. He is already neutered, has had all his shots and has mastered his house-training etiquette. More about Chester: Apply to adopt Chester today at Petfinder.
Hi, my name is Chester and I am a new member of the AARF family. I am a large, young male Labrador/cur mix, but because I am brand-new to these parts, there's not much more known about me just yet. If you check back a little later, I'm sure my foster parents will have a lot more information to post about me.
Paul, pit bull terrier and mastiff mix
Paul is a handsome male pit bull terrier and mastiff mix staying at Pitties and Purrs. Paul is happy to keep company with other dogs. He already has had all of his shots, and he's neutered. Paul is already house-trained. Paul's current caretakers say: Apply to adopt Paul today at Petfinder.
Paul is very affectionate with people and loves to lean in for cuddles any time of the day. He adores relaxing and hanging out with company. He has an excellent training foundation, with all the potential to learn more if desired. He is an expressive, fun dog to be around and would love to be the only man in your life but can do well in a home with the right dog (he has lived with three other dogs but can display leash aggression). He is excellent with children of all ages!
Blue, Dalmatian and boxer mix
Blue is a male Dalmatian and boxer mix in the care of Pitties and Purrs. Blue is friendly as can be, and he's happy to keep company with cats, dogs and kids. He has mastered his house-training etiquette, and he's been vaccinated and neutered. From Blue's current caretaker: Apply to adopt Blue today at Petfinder.
Sweet Blue, how I love you! Mr. Blue is thought to be around 10 years old (he could be younger). He was picked up as a stray in very poor condition. Blue had been living in the woods for a while and had clearly been neglected before that. Blue's teeth were worn down from nibbling on his skin due to an untreated flea allergy. Blue was also very shy and scared, but that has all changed now. He is a sweet and loving senior boy.
Harper, shepherd mix
Harper is a sweet female shepherd mix currently housed at Wings of Love, Kuwait. Good news: She is already house-trained. She's spayed, and she has had all her shots. Notes from Harper's caretakers: Read more about Harper on Petfinder.
Meet Harper, an affectionate, playful girl, who loves to have her belly rubbed! Harper is a very loyal dog that quickly attaches to her humans once she has bonded with them. When new people come to her home, she is protective, but she adapts quickly to women; she tends to be shy around men, so it takes her a bit longer to adapt to them. Harper does well with some cats and dogs. She has a strong personality and likes to choose her dog friends! Harper loves treats and knows basic commands like, “sit, stay, shake and rollover!”
Zeus, feist and terrier mix
Zeus is a sweet male feist and terrier mix being cared for at MAS Rescue. He's already house-trained, has had all of his shots and is neutered. Notes from Zeus' caretakers: Read more about Zeus on Petfinder.
Zeus is a spunky, cuddly little 6-8-year-old-mix. He loves playing with toys and can catch them in the air (sometimes). He loves attention and is great with kids. He loves going on walks and hanging out on my back porch to sunbathe. My favorite things about Zeus are when he greets me by dancing on his hind legs and when he curls into a little ball to snuggle.
