adopt-a-pet Spot
Not all white Pit Bull Terrier mixes are deaf, but Spot is one that is. He may seem like he is ignoring you and it could just be his breed, but it’s likely because he can’t hear you. Don’t let that deter you. Dogs like this can be taught sign language. Being 4 years old shouldn’t keep him from being able to learn. Come see if you are a good match for this guy.
Melody
There is a song that says “a pretty girl is like a melody”. Well, our little Melody is more than just a pretty face. She is a 3 month old Domestic Short Hair with black grey tiger markings. She is the last in her litter and her foster mom is hoping she will get adopted soon. She is missing her siblings and would be happy to have some companionship, furry or human.
Rudy
The name Rudy is German in origin and is a popular baby name. We thought it suited this adorable little girl kitten. She is a Domestic Short Hair with black and white markings. At 3 months, she still has a bit of growing to do. With a face like this, she likely will be adopted before long. Bring a carrier and collar with you just in case you can’t leave without her. See you soon.
Ziggy
According to the urban dictionary Ziggy is a name for people who are amazing. We are not surprised. Our Ziggy is an awesome Pit Bull Terrier mix. He is a little over 1 year old and is a 48 lb. ball of energy and wiggles. He has a perfect red mask to contrast his white coat and with those ears, he is a handsome pup. Come meet him and the other dogs here at the shelter.
Spooky
Spooky isn’t spooky at all. She is a beautiful Domestic Short Hair mix with stunning black and red tortoiseshell markings. She 3 years old and is a medium sized lady at about 9 lbs. Did you know that there are more cat households in this country than there are dog households? Whether it’s because they are lower maintenance, or there are just more of them, here is your chance to be a part of this group.
NoRth
North has some exceptional needs. He is a senior at 7 years and he is also deaf. He is an all white American Staffordshire Terrier and weighs about 49 lbs. How about those big baby blues. Because he is deaf, we are asking that everyone in the family come to meet him. Older children might be best. Since he can’t hear, he might startle easily. Ask a staff member to take him out for you.
ghoSt Face
Oh my. Not sure where Ghost Face got her name or her ears, but she couldn’t be any sweeter. She is a 4 month old Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is mostly white with brindle markings on her head. She and her siblings came in over the weekend and are patiently waiting for their new families to come and rescue them. She is shy, so give her some time to get to know you. She loves to snuggle.
huSkeR
Just because his name is Husker, that doesn’t mean he is a Nebraska fan. He would be more than happy to add a touch of blue to that gorgeous red coat. He is a Pit Bull Terrier mix and is a stout 62 lbs. He does qualify for our special this month, so come out and meet him. If you have another dog, we are asking that they come with you to do a meet.

Miley
Some might consider Miley to be a plus size girl, but she prefers the more classic term of rubenesque. She is a beautiful 4 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix. Her white and red coat adds to her appeal. Be prepared for some big girl hugs from her at almost 62 lbs. It’s not a problem for her if you are not a runner, she is more of a leisurely walk in the park kind of gal.

Willie NelSoN
When asked to describe Bronx, all the staff agreed on five words: lovable, sweet, energetic, playful and a powerhouse. He is a 1 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix and is also very handsome with his black and white coat. He is a 58 lb. guy who would love to be in an active household. If you are a runner, you will have an excellent running partner. Come hang with him and then decide.
halia
Halia has a paper bag that she likes to use as a place of respite. She can be a little shy, so if she is hiding just sweet talk her a bit and she might come out and give you a look. She is an adorable Domestic Short Hair mix and has a beautiful blue cream white tiger coat. Don’t pass up the timid ones, they will come out of their shells once they get to a loving home.
MuSket
Not much to say about Musket other than he is fun, energetic and about the biggest clown you’ll ever meet. He is an almost 2 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix and has a beautiful dark brindle coat with white markings. He should do well in any home. He wagged his tail so hard that it ended up broken, so we had to dock it. This is one happy dog. Come meet him today.

Rachel
Can you say “aaaawwww”? That’s exactly how people react to sweet Rachel. She is a cute Pit Bull Terrier mix who just can’t help but wiggle when she sees you. Her photo does not do her justice. Her coat is black with white markings and she weighs just under 50 lbs. All she wants is to love and be loved. Come out and see if you can resist her charms. She’s a keeper.
