Charlotte, Staffordshire bull terrier mix
Charlotte is a winsome female Staffordshire bull terrier puppy staying at Last Hope K9 Rescue.
Charlotte loves to socialize — she'll get along great with other dogs. She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She has been vaccinated.
From Charlotte's current caretaker:
Charlotte is very smart and loves to play! She loves all dogs and people and she learns very easily because she is incredibly smart. She is still learning cues and the limits of older adult dogs. She takes cues really well and will continue to develop as she gets older. She loves her crate, sleeps well at night and does not potty in there. She is house trained with a doggie door, so she will need to adjust if her new home doesn't have one. She does great on a leash and would probably make a great running partner when she is older. Charlotte is a wonderful puppy who will make her new family very happy!

Marietta is a sweet, fun little puppy who would be great around kids, other dogs and even cats! She loves getting attention from people and likes running around and playing with kids.

Rook, pit bull terrier mix
Rook is a male pit bull terrier puppy staying at Last Hope K9 Rescue.
Rook is happy to keep company with children, dogs or cats. His vaccinations are already up to date.
From Rook's current caretaker:
Rook is a very gentle, very easy going boy. He loves to be cuddled and he loves being with people. He has done well around other dogs, cats and in a large crowd. Someone will immediately fall in love with him. He goes in the crate with the promise of a treat, and he fusses sometimes but settles down. He had accidents in the crate the first week, but that was human error, he needs out to potty no more than 4 hours crated. He is still working on house training.

Jerry Pittie, pit bull terrier mix
Jerry Pittie is a male pit bull terrier puppy currently residing at Last Hope K9 Rescue.
Jerry Pittie is the life of the party — he's happy to keep company with other dogs. He's been vaccinated.
Jerry Pittie's current caretakers say:
When Jerry came from the shelter he was less of an explorer like his brother. He wanted to be in my lap. Now that his confidence has grown he is roaming and exploring the yard. Chewing antlers and running around are his favorite pastimes. He eats sticks and tests all things with his mouth. He has been working on training and he is very food motivated. He is a puppy, thus just learning other dog's space and boundaries. When he is tired out, he likes to lay and or snuggle. He loves people, but wants to play with the other dogs. He will run to potty with guidance, but sometimes detours for a potty pad or crate if he can't make it all the way out. Overall, Jerry is very sweet-natured and loving.
