Beauty of Your Dreams! Bubba is a sweet and social 5 year old pit bull terrier mix who's been waiting a bit to find his match. He is a happy boy who is always glad to see you. He loves long walks in the park with a friend, a good game of tug or social time with buddies. He enjoys chasing a ball, chewing on a toy and chilling with you. What he really wants most is a friend to do anything with. Bubba is so ready to be someone's copilot, confidante and companion. He would prefer not to share a home with other animals, but is perfectly polite in their presence. He is certain there is someone out there who is looking for only one pet. We think Bubba would be fine with children, but can be a little grabby with toys at times so would be best for children 12+. This guy continues to maintain his positive attitude despite months of being kenneled. It's time for Bubba's dreams to come true! Please like and share to help Bubba find his way home! To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org or stop by the shelter daily 12-4. #BeautyofYourDreams #BubblyBubba #PitbullMix #Cutie #DogsofPawsCt #HappyBoy #ActivePartner #ChilltimeBuddy #HappilyEverAfter

A Little Bit Stronger! This big, handsome hunk of a guy is Moose. He's a one year old pit bull terrier mix that came to PAWS from a local animal control. He is a bit shy at first, but is making progress in making new friends. PAWS often helps dogs like Moose who need a little extra to build their confidence through training time, play time and lots of positive interactions with new people. Moose is an energetic pup who would benefit from lots of active time and a little work on his manners. He is a strong boy who can throw his weight around a bit and get a little mouthy. He would benefit from someone willing to put a little time into his training and discipline. Because of this, he would do best in an adult home or home with older children. Moose shows positive interest in other pups and would probably make another large, energetic pup a good play partner. He would also benefit from the company of a social and confident pup to help show him the ropes. Moose is looking forward to weekend hikes, a little adventure and training time. He also enjoys being really close to his people and would make a good cuddle buddy. He will be available to be seen after seeing PAWS' vet, but we are accepting applications for him now. Please like and share to help Moose find his perfect fit♥ To adopt, visit www.pawsct.org. #ALittleBitStronger #HandsomeHunk #MrMoose #PitbullMix #DogsofPawsCt #Adoptabull #Adorabull #Loveabull
