Meet Tommy, an adorable 3.5-month-old male Pitbull mix weighing about 10 lbs. He was rescued in Oklahoma with his 7 littermates when they were dumped on the side of a rural road to die. Tommy was half the size of his littermates and thought to have passed away when he was found. He weighed only a couple of pounds when he was found near death. He was in such rough shape that he was thought to be blind and deaf. We are happy to report that with the loving 24 hour care he received in Oklahoma from his foster dad, he is thriving! He continues to gain weight and has the potential to be a medium-sized dog. Despite his size, he enjoys running and rough housing with the adult female dogs in his foster home. He is constantly on the move, very active and always searching for the next adventure or activity. Tommy is currently learning basic commands, proper manners, and is making great progress with potty training and using the bell system. He is working on leash training as well as kennel training. Tommy sleeps through the night and self-soothes well in his kennel or pen when left alone. Tommy has discovered his love for the outdoors and would lay for hours on the deck and sunbathe or go for long walks in the park enjoying the nice weather. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would benefit from a home with a canine companion to keep him active and boost his confidence. Tommy is a sweet boy who loves snuggling up with his humans. If you're looking for a loving and energetic addition to your family, Tommy might be the perfect match for you!

“Hi, I'm Eleanor, a sprightly little pup with a heart full of love. I might be a bit shy at first, but once I warm up, my playful energy is infectious! I love a good game of fetch, and nothing beats a cozy cuddle session afterward. My day starts with a wagging tail and ends with a satisfied sigh. My favorite pastime? Belly rubs! There's nothing quite like the feeling of a gentle hand rubbing my tummy. I'm a sweet soul, looking for a family that can match my energy and offer plenty of affection. Ideally, I'd love a home with older human siblings to play with and a fur sibling for companionship. I promise I'll bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to your home. If you're looking for a loyal friend and a playful companion, I'm your girl! Adopt me and let's start our adventure together. She will be a large dog when full grown.”

Bradley is a male, perhaps a Pitbull mix puppy and he will likely be a medium sized dog when full-grown.

“Hi, I'm Bradley! Life hasn't always been easy, but I'm a fighter. I was found abandoned with my litter mates hungry and scared, but I never gave up. Now, I'm ready for a new chapter in my life. I may be a bit shy at first but give me a little time and you'll see just how sweet and cuddly I can be. I'm still a puppy, learning about the world around me. A fur sibling would be great, they could help me grow into a confident, well-rounded dog. I'm good with cats, they don't bother me at all. As for kids, I prefer the older ones. They're a bit calmer and understand when I need my quiet time. I promise to be loyal, always by your side through thick and thin. I'm a quick learner and eager to please. There's nothing I enjoy more than curling up on a warm lap, feeling the gentle strokes on my fur. I'd love to be your new best friend, exploring the world together, one paw print at a time. Adopting me means gaining a companion who'll cherish every moment with you.”
