Louis

Friendly, happy, sweet and smart, Louis appears to have had some training, and he sits on command and accepts dog biscuits like a true gentleman — gently without touching fingers with his teeth or lips. At 3 years old, Louis, an American pit bull terrier mix, is handsome in his white and black shorthair coat with artistic markings. This large boy will do best with a loving, attentive and active family who will spend time with him, give him plenty of regular exercise and play — preferably in a fenced area or on a leash, give him obedience training, and of course, a good forever home. Louis’ ID is No. 1080.

Come meet this nice fellow; he’s available at the shelter.

 

Marbles

Packed with personality and appropriately named, this little guy wears an American medium-hair coat in swirls of grays and ebony resembling — yes, marbles. Just wanting to be loved, held and showered with attention, our 2-month-old chatterbox is very good at expressing his desires. But he quiets right down when his yearnings are satisfied; and when he’s given the love, warmth and stability of a good forever home, he will blossom into a devoted friend, pet and companion.

Come in and meet Marbles, ID No. 1087; he will definitely greet you with his warm welcome.
