1. Pluto

Young (7 months) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

Meet Pluto!

Pluto is a wiggly, cuddly ball of puppy energy who is ready to find a family to call her own! This girl loves nothing more than racing around the house with her foster brother, showing off her zoomies, and then snuggling up with her favorite people. And when it’s time to settle down? Pluto is an expert cuddler who loves to burrow under the covers and curl up right next to you. Personal space is apparently just a suggestion!

Read more about Pluto

Pluto absolutely adores children and currently lives with an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, whom she loves to shower with affection. She also gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine friend who can keep up with her playful puppy antics.

Pluto has spent her life living outdoors, so she’s still figuring out the whole indoor-dog thing. She’s making progress with potty training and crate training, learning which toys are appropriate for chewing (with so many tempting kid and cat toys around, can you really blame her?), and working on respecting personal space. She’s still a young dog with plenty to learn, so she’ll need a family willing to offer patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement as she learns the ropes.

Pluto has also been exposed to lots of cats, but she hasn’t quite figured out that not everyone wants to play with her! When the cats hiss or run away, Pluto thinks they’re joining in on the fun and is ready to keep the party going. She isn’t aggressive toward them; she just has a lot of puppy enthusiasm and hasn’t learned to read feline social cues yet. A cat-free home would likely be the easiest fit for this energetic girl.

If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, slightly goofy young dog who will keep you laughing, join you for playtime, and snuggle under the covers at the end of the day, Pluto might just be your girl! She’s still learning how to be the best indoor pup she can be, and with the right family, she has so much potential to blossom.

At 5 years old and 65 pounds, Cathy Faith is a happy, affectionate Lab mix who loves being with her people. She’s always up for playing with toys and enjoys the company of other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for just about any home.

Read more about Cathy Faith

Cathy is a strong girl and will need continued work on her leash manners. Her future family should be comfortable handling a larger, powerful dog and willing to help her learn to walk more politely on leash.

Cathy had a malignant tumor removed from her leg and has healed beautifully. While she is doing great, her future family should be committed to monitoring any new lumps or bumps and having them evaluated by a veterinarian promptly.

If the tumor were to recur, Proverbs will cover treatment with one of our board-approved veterinary partners.

Cathy is currently staying in boarding due to a shortage of foster homes, so her potty training status is unknown.

Cathy has been through so much, but she hasn’t let it dim her spirit. She’s ready to leave her past behind and find a family who will cherish her, keep an eye on her health, and give her the love she’s always deserved.

Cathy's adoption fee waived for an exceptional home.
