Willow is a winsome female pit bull terrier mix currently housed at Needy Paws Rescue.

Willow loves cats. Her ideal forever home would be a dog-free environment. Willow is already spayed and vaccinated. No need to worry: She's already house-trained.

More about Willow:

Hi my name is Willow and I am a 3-year-old pit bull. Giving kisses, cuddling, and car rides are a few of my favorite things! When I came to live with my foster mom I didn't really know how to walk on a leash. I am slowly getting better with training and a harness but my foster mom calls me a bull since I'm so strong! I know some basic commands like come, sit, and stay! I like to play every now and then but honestly a walk and then cuddles once I'm tired are my favorite.

Shamoo will get along great with your other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Shamoo is neutered, and he has had all his shots. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.

Notes from Shamoo's caretakers:

Shamoo is an 18-month-old husky. He was surrendered to animal control due to his previous owners not being able to care for him. He is a typical young husky who is full of energy and needs structure and training. Per his previous owners, he would do better in a home without cats. He is very sweet and loves every person and dog that he's met since coming here.

Roxy, American bulldog mix

Roxy is a sweet female American bulldog mix currently residing at Needy Paws Rescue.

Roxy will get along great with other dogs, cats and kids. Roxy is spayed and vaccinated. She's already house-trained.

From Roxy's current caretaker:

My name is Roxy and I am a 2 years old. I'm a quiet, sweet, sensitive pup who loves cuddling with my foster mom on the couch. I like my crate time and enjoy walking around the house with squeaky toys in my mouth. I got a little bit depressed when I was separated from my sister Chloe, but perked up when I joined her at my foster home. My foster mom thinks I will do OK without my sister once I have some time to adjust in a loving and attentive home. I know my basic commands and haven't had any accidents in the house, despite living outside for much of the past year. I will make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm, sweet, medium-sized dog.
