About Diezel:
I am a very handsome five year old dog, and I weigh about 80 lbs., so I'm a big boy too. I do very well with older children, but I haven't been around cats, so the shelter isn't sure how I would do around them.

Polo, American Staffordshire terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Polo is a male American Staffordshire terrier and pit bull terrier mix being cared for at East CAN (Community Action Network).
Polo is neutered, and he has all his shots. Good news: he is already house-trained.
About Polo:
I am a cuddly, affectionate and loving two-year old pup with a heart as big as my head! I love to be petted and will stand still for you to pet me. I am highly food motivated but not food aggressive. I pretty much enjoy any foods but especially love blueberries. I know the commands "sit" and "stay." I am a big boy at about 90 lbs., so it is not recommended that I live in a home with children under 10 years old because I don't really know my own strength. I tend to step on or knock into people without even realizing I'm doing it. Ideally, I would do best as the only dog in a family. I'm not hyper and also don't do much barking, even when I hear other barking dogs.

Carter, pit bull terrier mix
Carter is a male pit bull terrier mix in the care of Noah's Ark Society.
Carter is a lovely family dog, and children will love him. He is looking for a cat-free home. He's already house-trained. He's been vaccinated and neutered.
More on Carter:
Calling all runners, walkers, and hikers! I am an incredibly sweet one year old boy who loves to be active and play but also loves to snuggle. I even like getting under the covers with you if you will let me. One of my favorite activities when I'm outside--in addition to running--is to roll around in the grass. I also like playing with toys, but they can't be the kind with stuffing because I will eat it. When I'm inside, I enjoy looking out the window and surveying the neighborhood happenings. I think I would enjoy being the only dog in your house because I want all of your attention, but I could possibly do well with an older, more submissive dog. I definitely need an owner who can give me clear directions and boundaries, but I want to make you happy so I enjoy following your rules!
