Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Spayed, Vaccinations Current 

    15085560-American Pit Bull terrier/Australian cattle dog mix -Red/white -Female-6 Years-Large Rosie is quite the charmer, and the performer to boot. She sits, lies down and shakes on command. She responds to an encouraging voice and is gentle around smaller dogs. Bigger dogs do not seem to faze her and she loves attention, whoever it comes from. She could use an obedience class for good measure but would be perfect for a family with or without older children.

Personality: Very High Energy, Submissive 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current, Hip Dysplasia,
 Fearful/Anxious 

    We've recently had a behavior evaluation done on our dog with the addition of a new baby and were told that he needs to be re-homed to the right home or PTS. He is a great dog that loves the outdoors and loves his people. He's loyal and a huge snuggler. He has anxiety issues and he needs a home that can really stimulate him and is savvy in dealing with the issue. He is dog selective and seems to get along better with small dogs without toys/food around. He would be great in a home with a young, active couple with no children and no plan for children. He has been a great companion to us and we want to see him go to the best home ... (Read More)possible. He is dog selective and has mild hip dysplasia but it doesn't seem to get him down. He knows many commands and listens well. Please call if interested or if you have ANY questions. We need to find him a home or he will have to be pts. He deserves a great home. We are not asking a fee but we will be interviewing anyone interested. (Less)

Pit Bull    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good with Most Dogs 
Personality: High Energy, Submissive 
Health: Needs to be Neutered 

    Sosa is a sweetheart that came to us as a puppy when my son-in-law felt he needed a pitbull. He had potty-trained himself by watching the other dogs and was absolutely perfect until my daughter and her husband left home and now has slipped and started to mess in the house occasionally whereas before he would rather eat his own foot than do so. We are losing our home and cannot keep him or take him where ever we end up (daughter and s-i-l are in North Dakota in a man camp and cannot have the dog)so are looking for a good home so that he does not have to be destroyed. He is predominately white with brown and black. He thinks he is a ... (Read More)lapdog, is very nice with our cats but kills the neiboring feral cats. We will be getting him neutered soon and hope that will help to settle him down some. He is very good with our little dogs (mini pin and rat terrier) and was raised with dachshunds so is used to being around little dogs. (Less)

Personality: High Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Needs to be Spayed, Needs Vaccinations 

    We live in a very remote area of Idaho (Hollister). Someone dropped off Cleo and she made her way to our home. We have tried to care for her...but, with our current income...we find it impossible to care for her the way she deserves. I have taken her to 'People for pets' Humane Society to get spayed/shots and I am sponsoring her adoption. I am an animal lover! And Cleo deserves a good home... I just cant give it to her. She is so sweet...warm brown eyes...and always smiling and giving kisses. She is loyal and gentle..except when she is so happy and excited to see you she gets a little jumpy!

Personality: Average Energy, Submissive 
Health: Needs to be Spayed, Vaccinations Current, Fearful/Anxious 

    Cocoa is a very sweet young gir, about 1.5 years old, who loves to cuddle. She is crate trained but does not do well on her own for long periods of time. She loves other dogs, as she has lived with one for the past year, but takes some time to warm up. She is very fearful of new people, but generally warms up to adults quickly. Cocoa would be best in a home with no children.

PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Idaho
    Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Idaho if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.
