Delilah, rottweiler and boxer mix

Delilah is a winsome female rottweiler and boxer mix currently housed at Animal Advocates Inc.

Delilah will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. She will need a home free of other dogs and cats. She has been vaccinated and has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's more about Delilah:

Delilah is a healthy and energetic four-year-old pup, who loves every person she meets. However, due to her size and energy level, we would not recommend a home with very young children or a frail elderly person. Delilah would thrive with an active person or couple with time for consistent exercise, training and shared adventures.

Dally, pit bull terrier mix

Dally is a male pit bull terrier mix currently housed at Humane Animal Rescue (North).

He is already neutered.

Here's more about Dally:

Dally is an eight-year-old pup, who is bursting with love and energy. He needs a nice, safe home where he can feel comfortable to be himself. He also enjoys going for walks and being outside with nature. Dally also loves being the center of attention, so he would probably do better without children or cats in the home. This pup experiences chronic ear infections and dermatitis. These are usually easily treatable, but he would need regular visits to the vet and lots of care and love.
