Clara, pit bull terrier

Clara is a sweet female pit bull terrier dog staying at My Way Home Dog Rescue.

No other pets please: Clara is looking for forever home without other dogs or cats. Clara will do best in a home without small children. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She is spayed, and she has had all her shots.

Clara's current caretakers say:

I ride in a crate in the car but I don’t need one if the house. I watch delivery people and don’t even bark. I am very affectionate with my foster mom and love to watch a good movie. I am looking forward to getting my own family or person so I can bond forever. Kids and their loudness, and sometimes strangers on walks make me nervous.

Coco, Siberian husky

Coco is a handsome male Siberian husky dog currently residing at My Way Home Dog Rescue.

Coco loves other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. No need to worry: He's already house-trained. Coco is already neutered and vaccinated.

Here's what Coco's friends at My Way Home Dog Rescue think of him:

Coco is a sweet, small male Husky. We guess his age to be around five years old and he is around 45 lbs. Like most huskies he is very smart, loves exercise and mental stimulation. He loves walks and his foster mom found that he does great with a harness. He does well with other dogs. He loves car rides. He is crate trained and currently is in a crate when his foster mom goes out. Coco is different from most Huskies in that he is very quiet. Coco’s perfect home would have a couple or a family with a big secure yard to hang out and zoom around in. No cats for him as he is far too interested in small animals.

Richie, pit bull terrier

Richie is an adorable male pit bull terrier dog being kept at Deaf Dogs of Oregon.

He's already house-trained. He is neutered and vaccinated.

From Richie's current caretaker:

Hi my name is Richie, are you ready to take me home? Because I am ready to enrich your life with all my love. I am a big goofball who loves to play with toys go on long walks and I’m even learning to play fetch. I sure do love to lay around as well. I can get too excited at times and may become jumpy but I am working on it and as long as I am ignored I am quick to redirect.

Rupert, pit bull terrier

Rupert is a male pit bull terrier dog being cared for at Woofin Palooza, LLC.

Rupert is friendly as can be — he's happy to keep company with other dogs. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He already has had all of his shots.

From Rupert's current caretaker:

Rupert is an active guy with lots of love to give. He is pretty good with other dogs, he likely will not share rawhides or like items so he only gets them when he is in his crate or kennel. He socializes well in a group and loves to play.
