Belle is a 1-year old, spayed, staffordshire pit mix, the only one of her siblings that is smaller and looks like a pittie, the others looked like chocolate or black labs and were mostly medium sized.

Belle is good with other dogs and loves to play, she's great with kids, and friendly with all people. She gets very excited and likes to wiggle her whole body! She keeps a toy in her mouth at all times, and likes to play tug! She loves to be outside and go for walk, she is doing much better with leash training. 

Belle came to us with her mama and siblings when she was just 9 weeks old, in April 2025. Belle was adopted quickly and in a home for almost a year. Sadly it wasn't the right fit and we gladly brought her back to be with us.**

We do our best to only approve adoptions when we think the family/person is the right match for each individual dog. Unfortuantely we don't always get it right the first time, especially if people aren't truthful. Through trial and error we learn to trust our gut.

Belle is crate trained, but spent a lot of time in a crate at that home, and we see no reason why as she doesn't chew or destroy things, she is potty/house trained, listens well and is well behaved in general. We prefer her new family to allow her freedom in the home, to not be crated, to be allowed on furniture, given lots of attention and affection. 

Belle is very sweet and deserves a family that will cherish her and spoil her. We don't want her to be shuffled around again, so we will be extra thorough in her application and meet & greet processes. 


**It's in our contract all of our dogs come back to us if it's not working out or life changes and you can't keep your pet.

Roscoe was found tied to a tree in the woods of rural Vermont. Thankfully, a caring individual took him in until a forever home could be found. He is currently living with a couple who already have two dogs, so it's a lot for them to handle. They took him to the vet for neutering and vaccinations, where he was identified as an Australian Cattle Dog, estimated to be around 2-4 years old.

Roscoe loves to play, is great on a leash, and has been adapting to living with the other dogs. He has shown some food aggression and alpha behavior, which is common and may decrease after neutering.
Those beautiful eyes and cute ears make it hard to believe anyone could abandon him!

Meet Daisy! This beautiful little girl just turned one year old and is part American Bulldog, Rottweiler. and Bully. Beautiful colors and about 37lbs.

Currently living with a wonderful foster who is dedicated to connecting her with home that fits her personality and needs.

She's good with other dogs and lived in another home with an older service dog that she got along great with. She also lived with cats and was curious and excited by them but the cats weren't into it.

Daisy knows and listens to basic commands, she does OK on a leash. With regular walks, play and using a (more comfortable) harness she could be the perfect walking/running partner. She's still just a babe and does great with training.
