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.

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.

Guitar

Pit Bull Terrier

Available

This sweet boy is ready to steal your heart (and your spot on the couch). Guitar loves nothing more than cuddling up close he’ll happily be your shadow and your snuggle buddy all day long.

When he’s not curled up next to you, he’s keeping himself busy playing with his basket of toys. He’s a natural entertainer who can make his own fun, but he’ll always check back in for pets and praise.

Guitar walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys exploring the world one sniff at a time. Most of the time, he’s calm, gentle, and perfectly in tune with the energy around him, but when those zoomies hit, get ready! He becomes a happy little bullet racing around with pure joy and excitement.

Kirby

Pit Bull

Available

Kirby is a happy little guy (he’s 46 lbs but looks less). He’s mostly chill, super friendly, easy to handle and loves other dogs, people and kids. He’s awesome with female dogs and can be selective with male dogs. He gets the zoomies every now and again in the yard but is otherwise calm. Super easy to walk on leash with a collar or harness. He is crate trained and almost fully potty trained. He is treat motivated, loves to play with/chew on his stuffed animals and so far knows sit (working on other commands soon).  His ears will require cleaning once or twice a week to keep them healthy. He’s small so could work well in a variety of housing types/living situations. He rides well in a car and is easy at the vet. All around, Kirby is a rock star and cute as a button.

Banderita

Pit Bull Terrier

Available

Banderita is a super playful and very happy dog. There is not a mean bone in her body. She gets along well with my other rescue dog Ellie.

Walks ok on the leash but she is just over a year old so she is still learning.

Mildred

Bulldog

Available

Hey there, everybody my name is Mildred, but I like Millie better. I’m the kind of girl that greets you with a smile, maybe a hug and a bouncy good attitude. No one really knows what I’ve been through, but it was not me living my best life. Fortunately, fate smiled upon me and brought me to a wonderful rescue. Here I’m given the opportunity to truly blossom and become the best version of myself.

I am learning to play with toys, share my space, and get wonderful cuddles with a loving person. I am getting the hang of going for walks, learning some basic obedience, and of course, sharpening my manners. I am a fun girl that enjoys being around people, but I haven’t quite mastered my own strength- so older kids would be better for me.

I’ve always got a big smile on my face and not too much bothers me. I love being outside, sunbathing, smelling the fresh air, and balls are my favorite.  I need to be cat tested but so far, I am a little selective with dogs. I am still learning how to properly greet a new pup, something tells me I would enjoy a playful female.

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. If you are interested in Duke please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adoptable-dogs/adoption-application/

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.
