Feather, black Labrador retriever and pit bull terrier mix

Feather is a sweet female black Labrador retriever and pit bull terrier mix being cared for at Grateful Dogs Rescue.

Feather loves other dogs. She's mastered her house-training etiquette, and she is already vaccinated and spayed.

Feather's current caretakers say:

She's the pup who is always up for anything and dressed to impress with her beautiful tuxedo markings. She's currently in a foster home with another big dog and loves her foster sister's company. This lovebug is that rare pup who is both active and incredibly gentle and wants to be by her person's side. She'll curl up in your lap if given the chance or run around and play outside ⁠— whatever you're up for. She loves being with people and other dogs and does great off leash at the park or beach.

Tigger, cane corso mix

Tigger is a sweet female cane corso mix being cared for at Rocket Dog Rescue.

Tigger is a social animal — she gets along well with other dogs. Her vaccinations are up-to-date, and she's spayed. She has also mastered her house-training etiquette.

More about Tigger:

I have a gentle and friendly demeanor, even with all of the recent changes in my life. I have been friendly with the other dogs I’ve met, as well. I know “sit” on cue, but it seems like I need to keep learning more of my basic manners, so I’d love a family who will continue to give me ample opportunities for training and mental and physical exercise. I also wouldn't mind lots of cuddles.

Courage, shepherd and boxer mix

He's already neutered, and he has all his shots. He's already house-trained.

Courage's current caretakers say:

He loves to run around the yard or go for walks and smell everything. Great for those working from home. Stays quietly on his dog bed as you work. He is crate-trained but prefers to sleep on the sofa or dog bed. Looking for a person who is patient and kind.

Skeeter, chihuahua and Italian greyhound mix

Skeeter is a male chihuahua and Italian greyhound mix being kept at Grateful Dogs Rescue.

Skeeter loves other dogs but is looking for a cat-free home. He is neutered, has all his shots and is already house-trained.

Skeeter's current caretakers say:

Skeeter is a soft, shy guy who can really play. While a little shy with new people, it only takes a few minutes to realize how tempting you might be. He doesn't like yelling much, and busy wild kids are not his thing. He much prefers playing, walks and lap time with adults. He is always a joy when you come home but has learned not to be a pest.

Nacho, pit bull terrier and mastiff mix

Nacho is a darling male pit bull terrier and mastiff mix in the care of Grateful Dogs Rescue.

Nacho loves other dogs. He is neutered, and he has all his shots. He's already house-trained.

Here's what Nacho's friends at Grateful Dogs Rescue think of him:

Nacho is an absolute sweetheart and loves everyone he meets. He is great with kids, but because of his size, he is better with older children. He is very sociable with his people and loves just hanging out, but he does get an occasional burst of pit energy. He generally gets along well with other dogs when introduced properly. We don't know about cats or other animals.

Pipa, chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix

Pipa is a darling female chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix staying at Beyond Rescue.

Pipa loves to socialize — she gets along well with cats, dogs and kids. She's mastered her house-training etiquette, and she's spayed and has all her shots.

Notes from Pipa's caretakers:

There’s moments in rescue when we wonder why the heck isn’t this dog adopted!? We are feeling that way about Pipa. From her button nose to the tip of her little tail nub, she’s show-stopping adorable and a perfect little six pounds to carry in your arms. Spend those summer days at the beach with this little love on your blanket. Or take her to a backyard beer party and watch her own the crowd.
