Lola – Meet Miss Lola! She is a 1-3-year-old Pitbull mix who was named after the Barry Manilow song “Copacabana.” She is a very sweet young lady once she gets to know you, but she can be wary of new people, and a little bit reactive in stressful situations but she is wonderful for handling. She doesn’t like being in our dog room, but once she is out of there, she is much calmer. She is very affectionate and will be sure to give you lots of kisses. She is a big snuggler and loves to be cozy, so she will probably be a big couch potato in comfortable settings. She seems to do well with dog-savvy cats, and she is very dog-social, but she would need a meet and greet with any dogs from your home. She is not a risk to children, but her nervousness and reactivity means that she would be best in a home with kids who are 12 and older.

Zeke – Meet Zeke! He is a 1-3-year-old Pitbull/Terrier mix who loves to be held like a baby! He is a super adorable sweetheart, though he does not know his own strength. He can get very excited, and tends to jump up on people to get closer to them. He also likes to playfully nibble on hands, especially if you have any treats. He gets along with cats, but he can be a little nervous around other dogs, so he would require a meet and greet with any of your dogs to make sure he is a good fit for your household. He is super affectionate, but his past experiences cause him to react poorly to sudden movements and loud noises. Because of his strength and reactivity, he should go to a home with children over 12. Zeke also does not like to be confined to a kennel, and he is much happier outside of one. He loves to go for walks, though his excitability to be outside coupled with his strength can make him a little difficult to walk. Overall, he is a very sweet boy with a couple quirks, and he is looking for someone to take special care of him and his needs.
