Tilly, pit bull terrier mix
Tilly is a winsome female pit bull terrier mix being kept at Cody's Friends Rescue.
Tilly will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her, and needs a home free of other dogs. She does do well with children. Rest assured: She is already vaccinated, spayed and house-trained.
Here's what Tilly's friends at Cody's Friends Rescue think of her:
Tilly is a gentle giant. She is not an overly hyper dog, and would do great in an apartment setting or even a home with a small yard. She does not require a lot of exercise, only a nice dog bed where she can cuddle up and snore away. Tilly is not food aggressive, but she does love her treats. She will stare at you when you eat, and wag her tail in hopes you drop a crumb that she can have. Tilly really is a gem of a dog, and deserves a second chance at happiness.

Wilbur, American Staffordshire terrier mix
Wilbur is a playful male American Staffordshire terrier mix currently housed at Buddha and the Bull.

From Wilbur's current caretaker:
Meet Wilbur. He is a beautiful boy who just needs a good leader. He would be best suited in a home with an owner that is committed to outdoor exercise.

Louie, German shepherd mix
Louie is a cheeky female German shepherd mix currently housed at Cody's Friends Rescue.
Louie gets along well with other dogs. Cody's Friends Rescue, however, recommends she be placed in a home without small children. No need for concern: She is already house-trained, spayed and vaccinated.
Louie's current caretakers say:
Louie is a beautiful seven-year-old German shepherd mix. She can't wait to find her forever home. Louie loves her humans, and loves to snuggle and be close to them. She adores her walks, makes a great running companion and does great on car journeys. Although she loves her walks and her runs, she is still pretty low-energy at home and loves to snuggle up in her bed.

Sasha, Australian shepherd and yellow Labrador retriever mix
Sasha is a darling female Australian shepherd and yellow Labrador retriever mix staying at DASH Dog Rescue.
Sasha loves kids, dogs or cats. Don't worry: She's already spayed, and has had all her shots and has mastered her house-training etiquette.
From Sasha's current caretaker:
Say hello to Sasha! Sweet, snuggly, sensitive Sasha is a beautiful Aussie shepherd mix looking for a human to bond with. Sasha is the perfect companion to help ease anxiety, stress, boredom or isolation. Sasha would be happy as an only child, as long as someone is home a lot of time at first. We really want her to go to a home with a large, secure male playmate. Sasha has a moderate to high energy level depending on the circumstances. She will need a couple of nice walks, and if someone is a jogger or runner, she can build up to that. But, after a few rounds of fetch, she will plunk down and binge-watch TV with you, or cuddle up next to you while you work on a laptop or read a book. Sasha is a beautiful girl we are grateful to have rescued just in time. We know Sasha has a new family waiting! Is it you?

About Crystal Blue:
Crystal Blue is a darling girl with the prettiest blue eyes. She is sweet and loving, and looking for someone who will not abuse her. She does better with smaller dogs than big dogs. She is great with kids and nice strangers. She even gets along with cats, if they don't freak out at the sight of her.

Sage, retriever and Labrador retriever mix
Sage is an adorable female retriever and Labrador retriever mix staying at Cody's Friends Rescue.
Sage enjoys spending time around other dogs, but needs to be placed in a household without young children. She has already mastered her house-training etiquette, and her vaccinations are up to date.
A few words from Sage's current caretaker:
Sage would do best in a forever home that understands her past, and has the experience to continue to build her confidence, especially around new dogs. She is extremely sweet and loving with people after she warms up, which can take some time.
