Hi there! I'm Zavier, a spirited pitbull mix just shy of 2 years old, ready to find my perfect match in a patient and understanding home. I'm a bundle of energy, always up for an adventure or a good game of fetch. I'm still learning some manners, so a home with no young kids would be best. I can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when I'm excited, and I have some handling sensitivities, but with patience and positive reinforcement, I'm making great strides. My ideal home would provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep me happy and healthy. Regular exercise, training, and interactive play are key to helping me channel my energy in a positive way. If you're looking for an active, loyal companion and are willing to put in the time and effort to help me reach my full potential, I could be the perfect addition to your home! 🐾

ASHLEY MAE  Animal ID: 319083 spayed female 3yrs 1 mth 6a lbs

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/319083

in foster

Meet Ashley Mae, a spirited and affectionate companion looking for her forever home! This playful pup is always ready for an adventure, especially if it means going for a car ride. Ashley Mae is fully potty trained and has proven to be crate trained as well, making her a great addition to any household. Ashley Mae likes to follow the resident dog in her current foster home, a submissive and mellow dog, who really wants nothing to do with her. Ashely needs some time for slow introductions to new friends, as she can be reactive on a leash and may bark and lunge when startled. This charming girl has a playful side, too! She's fascinated by the hose and loves to bounce around in the backyard-but don't expect her to know what toys are just yet, as she hasn't quite figured that part out! Ashley Mae has a playful spirit, especially when it comes to the neighbor's 8-year-old, who she absolutely adores. Ashley Mae does have a curious side when it comes to the neighbor's cows and can sometimes be a bit obsessed, so a home with plenty of space to roam would be ideal. She enjoys alerting her family to the goings-on around her, making her a great watchdog! While she does well meeting strangers both on walks and in homes, her best environment would be a place where she isn't confined to an apartment-she thrives outdoors where she can explore and engage with her surroundings. If you're ready to give Ashley Mae the love and patience she needs, you'll find a loyal and devoted friend in her. She's just waiting for someone special to take her on new adventures and to be the center of their world! Come meet Ashley Mae and see if you're the perfect match! 🐾💖

Hello there, I'm Torn, a sweet, weathered old lab. I've been around the block and back again, though the shelter doesn't know exactly what that means since I was taken in as a stray. I can be a bit nervous, but I'm a gentle and mellow guy who would love to live out my golden years in a home with lots of comfy beds and snacks. I'm a words of affirmation kind of guy - if you talk to me, I start wagging and perk up! I might not be ready for a ton of activity at this time in my life, but I'd love someone to snuggle up to for naps. I'll need a home that can give me the luxury treatment I deserve, and is ready for some medical hurdles we can tackle together. The love I have to give is still going strong - will you take me home?
