Smallie Smalls, miniature bull terrier and pit bull terrier mix
Smallie Smalls is a survivor of extreme abuse; she has been neglected for years, attacked by dogs and stabbed in the neck and chest by humans. She doesn't hold this against the human race and loves everyone she meets. Smallie is 30 pounds, indignant and beefy. She has humor but is mainly a very romantic dog. Smallie wants to be with you and be petted all the time. She is not overwhelming to be around at all. She is approximately five years old, but it is hard to tell due to missing teeth.
Roo, terrier mix
Roo is a two-and-half year old who is very people friendly and loves to snuggle. She is very mild-tempered and loves to give kisses. She needs to set the pace when being introduced to other dogs in the house, but once she has gotten over her jitters, she relishes canine companionship. She loves to play with her toys and run around the yard with her doggie friends. Too also likes to chase small animals (a higher fence is recommended), understands basic commands and does well on a leash. She's still working on housetraining but will not soil when crated.
Sheba, pit bull terrier mix
Sheba is nervous but may be more playful when comfortable at home. She loves to be petted and touched. Quick movements and noises startle her. She needs to go into a home with children over the age of 10. Sheba loves playing with all her doggy friends here at MHS but has no history with cats, so please introduce her slowly.
