His vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, but he's been neutered. He still needs some guidance on proper house-training.

From Jj's caretaker:
I have big amber-colored eyes with which I will lovingly gaze upon you constantly. I weigh 57 pounds. I charge through anything and over everything to get as much of my body touching yours as possible! I'm also extremely empathetic and affectionate. I’m totally potty trained, although I need refreshers on the rules when I go through a transition.

I am as sweet as I look. I know how to sit and I am crate trained. I am a very shy girl and will need some encouragement to come out of my shell. The best place for me is to be in your lap being loved. I am dog friendly and have shown zero aggression, even when my space was invaded by a very outgoing and friendly pit bull. I do need to learn some manners when it comes to walking on a leash but am eager to please.

I'm Blair, and I want to be your best friend! My foster mom calls me a shadow dog, because I just love to follow people around everywhere they go, even to the bathroom! I am an active girl that loves to play and be crazy, but I also really like to snuggle up with my humans and get belly rubs. I had a surgery recently because I broke my tibia on my back leg. I saw the doctor after six long weeks of kennel rest, and I got the all clear. The doctor says that he doesn't anticipate any long term issues.

Isaiah, pit bull terrier and Labrador retriever mix

He is vaccinated, and he's been neutered. He is already house-trained.
What my friends at UnbreakaBULL Pit Bull Rescue think of me:
Isaiah is a 2-year-old pitty mixed with lab. An all-black beauty with a tiny white patch on his chest and white tips on his paws. He’s potty and crate trained. He loves playing and still has a large amount of puppy energy. He is very friendly and loves playing with dogs. He has not been cat tested yet. He loves cuddles and giving kisses, playing fetch and playing tug with his foster sister. He’s a very good listener, sometimes he just needs a louder tone when he’s super excited. He can lay, sit and stay and shake.
