Baxter is a handsome 1.5-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a shy but sweet personality. This gentle boy is recovering from a bout of kennel cough but is otherwise healthy and ready to find his forever home. He loves to play with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine companion to help him build confidence. While he can be a bit timid at first, Baxter warms up quickly with a little patience. Baxter is looking for a loving family who will give him the time and space he needs to adjust to his new surroundings. He would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can run and play with his furry friends. A home with children over the age of 8 would be ideal, as he can be a bit sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet and deserving boy, please ask to meet him!




"MUSIC" mature relaxed Pitbull wants a Relaxed home"HS OF SW WASH"

 

 "MUSIC" is Available for Adoption at the HUMANE SOCIETY OF SW WASHINGTON

"MUSIC"

Animal # 163303, spayed female, 7 yrs 53 lbs, adoption fee $60

I'd like a relaxed home. I wouldn't say I'm "old"... I've just been around for a while. And that's made me appreciate the finer things in life like naps in the sun, looking out windows, and the special joy when you're able to scratch juuuuust the right spot. I like to take it easy at home - I'm not up for lots of activity.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

Partridge is an 11-month-old female Shepherd looking for a patient and understanding family to help her blossom. This sweet girl can be a bit nervous in new situations, especially with loud noises and other barking dogs. She's been known to "pancake" - flatten herself to the ground - when startled on walks. But don't let that fool you, Partridge is incredibly treat motivated and eager to please! She's a smart pup who will thrive with positive reinforcement training in a calm environment. A low-traffic home with a predictable routine would be the perfect place for her to build her confidence. If you're experienced with fearful dogs and ready to give Partridge the love and support she needs, please come meet her today! This gentle soul is waiting for a quiet haven and a family to call her own!
