Silvester, Anatolian shepherd mix

Silvester is a handsome male Anatolian shepherd mix in the care of Big Fluffy Dog Rescue.

Silvester is the life of the party — he gets along well with kids, cats or dogs. Have no fear: He is already house-trained. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he is neutered.

Here's what Silvester's friends at Big Fluffy Dog Rescue think of him:

Silvester is a beautiful boy ready for his forever home. He is a shy boy and would do best on a home with another dog who is calm or as an only dog. He is good with all humans and would love to find a family to love him.

Lulu, pit bull terrier

Lulu is a female pit bull terrier dog being kept at East CAN (Community Action Network).

Have no fear: She is already house-trained. She's been vaccinated and spayed.

Lulu's current caretakers say:

Lulu is approximately five years old and 35 pounds. She is healthy and ready for the life she deserves. After being surrendered from a less than stellar situation she definitely has some things to cross off her bucket list. She is house trained but could use help learning to walk well on leash. Lulu's best home would be someone with dog experience who is willing to take her on walks every day and build her confidence with consistent structure in the house and crate training.

From Stella's current caretaker:
