Tahoe Tails — Adoptable Pets in South Lake Tahoe
Owen and Legend
Legend and Owen are brothers who will be 2-years-old on Dec. 2. We know pit bulls are not for everyone, but these two boys are the kind of dogs who will be great pets for just about anyone who would consider adopting them.
They are energetic and playful with each other, but are also very affectionate with people and quickly calm down to be petted. They have beautiful, huge heads and very sweet dispositions. If adopted together, one adoption fee has been sponsored, but they can go to separate homes.
Legend and Owen are neutered, microchipped, tested for heart worm, and vaccinated. They are at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go to the Tahoe animal shelter’s Facebook page to see photos and descriptions of all pets at the shelter.
Call 530.573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.

Owen and Legend used to live across the street from us. They really are two wonderful dogs. Please don’t let the breed fool you. They were friendly to people walking by with their dogs and also our dog (Stanley) They are basically 65-70 lbs of love comin’ at ya. I really can’t stress enough how great these dogs are. I would take them if I could. I hope they find a good home.
/there are no bad dogs only bad owners.
though i love dogs, it’s just a matter of time before the bomb goes off with rescued staffordshire terrriers. due to human intervention in their lineage (genetics), and the unknown previous environment of rescued pit bulls (human created), they are a risk both to the rescuer and to the rescuer’s neighborhood.
52lexington — These dogs were raised in a family atmosphere. This family had 3 kids under 6 with a special needs child. These dogs were part of that family. My son played over at their house and I did not have one reservation about him being around these dogs.
/please don’t paint with such a broad brush.
Exactly, John S. People who make assumptions based on breed are like racists.
I’ve known so many sweet pittis. It’s all in how a dog is raised, NOT its breed.
If you want a good companion, be it a dog or a cat, go to the Animal Shelter on Shakori, you’ll be glad you did! We adopted a Great Pyrenees there and he is great !!! (Pyrenees, that is)!
Only problen is the squirrels drive him crazy and he barks at airplanes, and we live near the flight path.
So either he thinks he can catch the plane or was a pilot in a previous life. Or maybe he just wants a ride. ARF,ARF. OLS
john and canine: my bad; forgot who i was dealing with
If I didn’t already have two beautiful pitt’s I would take them in a heart beat! Hope they don’t get split up!
