Callum

Pit Bull Terrier

Available

Callum is a lover boy!  He loves to be by your side and will follow you around the house.  He melts into you while sitting close.  He loves going for walks and is great in the car.  He loves getting his zoomies out and runs laps around the backyard.  He is super athletic and his build is on the small side.  He gets compliments wherever he goes because he has beautiful eyes.  When we picked him up from the shelter he was extremely head-shy and was scared to walk through doorways.  He has come along way.  He is happy once he knows he is safe.  Callum would do best with someone who is home a lot and would prefer to be an only dog.  Has some separation anxiety.  Would do wonderful in an agility class.  He can jump (bounce) high.  He has a high prey drive.

Duke

Mastiff

Available

Meet Duke! A two year old Mastiff mix that is looking for his forever family. In the home he is house broken, crate trained, and loves to be with his humans. As an XL breed dog, he could still use some reinforcement of basic manners. He's very strong on leash and tends to jump and get a little mouthy when he plays or gets excited. A family with large breed experience that is willing to invest some time and energy into basic training would be ideal. 


Another requirement would be no children under 10. Outside the home, Duke is a tad insecure and can be slightly reactive to new dogs. After a quick introduction, however, he does great (especially with female dogs). He can, however, tend to get too excited and possessive over toys so a family that can maintain boundaries in their home would be required. As for cats... this big boy LOVES them and would have no problem sharing his space with a dog savvy feline.

Fefe

Pit Bull Terrier

Hold

Fefe is a sweet girl who may seem shy at first, but once she warms up to you she is goofy, playful, and at times a bit sassy. She loves leaning up against people for hugs and is very food motivated. Fefe is crate trained, potty trained, and is working on learning commands. She's great with "sit," and is doing well practicing others such as stay, come, down, and off. She likes chew toys, treats, and LOVES naps, so a fluffy dog bed is a must.

Bryce

Pit Bull Terrier

Available

Very bubbly, sweet and playful. He's definitely young and sometimes acts like a puppy. He's so friendly he wants to say hello to everyone, all dogs and people. We're still training him to not jump on people but he gets very excited when people walk in the door.  He'd do great in a house with or with out kids, and loves playing with other dogs. He's still a tad mouthy but we are working on it. He's a good walker, he just gets distracted easily. He's honestly the ideal dog for apartments, houses, etc. He also loves cuddling on the couch after some play time.

BamBam

Shepherd Mix

Available

Very friendly and a little needy.
She loves kids but is still a jumper, given her size this can be a concern.
She follows directions very well and seems to learn routine easily.
Takes a bribe to get her into crate, but eventually goes willingly and is not loud when there.
Barks frequently and reactively to changes within her environment as she’s learning about her surroundings.  Fence is a must and is protective of the yard… walking in without announcement or her knowing at least one person could be an issue

Walnut

Lab Mix

Available

Meet Walnut! This sweet little guy is about 12–14 weeks old and already melting hearts with his playful puppy energy and loving personality. He’s a black lab/pittie mix with the cutest brown marbling on his legs — truly one of a kind! At his last weigh-in, he was 18 pounds of pure love.

Walnut is dog-friendly and working on potty training — he’s already a pro with pee pads and getting better with going outside every day. He absolutely loves to be held when he's tired — he'll let you know when it's cuddle time and crawl right into your lap. The second you pick him up, he completely melts and goes limp, trusting you completely. If you’re looking for a snuggly, playful pup to brighten your days, Walnut is your guy!

Special Note: Walnut was part of a litter found in a sealed box next to a dumpster. Despite such a rough start, he’s incredibly trusting and loving — the way he melts into your arms when you hold him is proof of how much he loves and trusts humans. He’s ready to leave his tough beginning behind and find a forever home filled with love and cuddles.

Gremlin

Pit Bull Terrier

Available

Gremlin is a super sweet, reserved pup who is settling into our home with grace. He’s a polite, unassuming dog who seems genuinely appreciative of the love and comfort of being in a home. While he’s a bit on the quiet side, he’s incredibly smart and eager to learn. Gremlin is curious about other dogs, regardless of their size, and seems to enjoy making new doggy friends. He may be a little shy at first with people, but his gentle nature shines through once he feels at ease.

From what we can tell, Gremlin appears to be an escape artist. He would enjoy a fenced yard in which he can run, but would likely do best with a wooden fence that is well secured. He appears to have some trauma around being in the kennel for so long and, as a result, crate training has been difficult for him. He does well being contained to a room/area, but does panic when closed into his crate. We have been working on systematically desensitizing him to the crate each day and he is showing progress bit by bit. With that said, it’s only been about 12 days and he still needs time to decompress and feel a sense of safety.

Adoption Process

Adoption Takes Thought & Patience.I know you are excited about the thought of getting a new pup. But before you make this decision, we ask that you have done the following:

  • Spoken with all members of your household and come to mutual agreement.

  • Discussed the new addition with your home owner’s association or landlord if applicable.

  • Experience the breed yourself.


Save up! Dogs, especially Bullies are not an inexpensive breed and having a solid savings account that has an emergency fund is essential.

Before you apply to adopt, please read about how the process works.

Principle #1:
First and foremost, we receive many applications on some dogs. This allows us to be selective to ensure that our dogs are going to a perfect home. If you are not chosen to adopt, please do not be angry, we work in the best interests of the dogs, and we know what they need best. This doesn’t mean you don’t have a good home. It just means there is a better fit in our applicant base.

Principle #2:
Not all homes are right for rescues, especially pitbulls. Each application is put through a rigorous review process. which may take some time. It must meet several important criteria through multiple phases of review. If application is approved a home visit and if applicable a meet and greet with resident animals will be scheduled.
