Fitz is an adorable 6-year-old male terrier who became an instant staff favorite and appreciates all the love and attention after a rough start in life. Fitz is friendly and outgoing, loves to go on walks and is good with other dogs. He likes children but is strong, so he would be best with older ones.

Roni is a Lab/pit mix who is a lover of tennis balls and walks, and a big cuddle bug too. He can be a little shy, but will open up really quick. Roni also gets along with dogs, but will need a slow introduction to make sure it's the right pal for him. Roni would also prefer a home with older kids or no kids.
