Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, my name is Tempest and my family and I came from a backyard breeding operation that was busted up and abandoned. Me, two other moms and two puppies were taken out of the backyard kennels and into awesome foster homes. We are now known as the Hot Rods! I am a short stack, but solid! Please ignore my ears. It was meant to make me look tough, but it has no affect on my outgoing personality! I am active and strong and enjoy playing with toys and other dogs. I do play rough and am still learning “proper” dog behavior, but I would love a tolerant playmate! I love to explore the yard and throw around my toys. All in all, I am fun, sweet, smart dog looking for some hiking or car adventures!
ADOPTION FEE: $200 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained)
A $100 hold fee is required for approved applications and will be applied to the full adoption fee at the time of the home visit.
ADOPTER: Dog experience
BIRTHDAY: Estimated 1-2 years
FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment)
DOG FRIENDLY: Yes
DOGS IN HOME: Yes, male dogs around her size
CATS: Unknown
CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over simply because I am strong.
INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25.
DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response.
PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
