Update 10/30/23
Due to Simba's long residency in the rescue, he recently moved foster homes for a change of scenery and is doing great! His new foster mom says he is super smart, super food motivated, and super snuggly. He is the best walking buddy, and is a dream on the leash. He loves to say hi to everyone. Don't let his age fool you, because he has plenty of energy when he wants to. He is doing well with the cat in the house, and has picked up the household routine very quickly.
Update 2/1/23 Simba is very handsome and a gentle soul. He is crate trained and house broken, dog selective but good with cats and kids. He loves to go for walks and car rides. Simba loves relaxing and snuggling on the couch. He has lots of tickle spots, give him a scratch and his legs get to going. He will alert you when someone is at the house, but Simba is friendly with all guests. He knows basic commands, sit, down, and paw. His foster family did nickname him 'Fatty' because of how food motivated he is :).
Even though Simba is an older guy, he does not act his age. He is full of life and loves to play. Simba is an awesome dog and has very loving eyes. Look into his eyes and you will melt and fall in love.
Simba did complete his full Heartworm treatment in August.

Simba is very handsome and a gentle soul. He is crate trained and house broken, good with other dogs and kids, and loves to go for walks and car rides. Simba loves relaxing and snuggling on the couch. He has lots of tickle spots, give him a scratch and his legs get to going. He will alert you when someone is at the house, but Simba is friendly with all guests.
6/25/22 Simba just recently joined our rescue. So far we can say he is fantastic with dogs and people and it is said he lived with cats. Simba will need to learn some basic doggy manners which we are sure he will have mastered in no time.
He is heartworm positive and just went through treatment.
We will post more updates as he settles into his foster home.

We ask that you please read the below in its entirety.
Minimum requirements for adopting from Bobbie’s Pit Bull Rescue & Sanctuary are:
Demonstrated responsible dog ownership, and primary care of a dog to include spay/neuter of current family pets. Also, all pets must be up to date on vaccinations and (dogs) heartworm tested and on preventative.
Demonstrated financial stability and must be at least 21 years of age.
Proof of home owners insurance that covers the bully breed. If you rent, we require a letter from your landlord giving you permission to keep a bully breed on the premises and you must have Renter's Insurance that covers the breed. Please note that many insurance companies will cancel your homeowner’s policy if you own a bully breed. It is the adopter's responsibility to check with his or her carrier to ensure coverage will remain in place.
While we do not require a fenced yard we strongly prefer yards that are fenced in by chain link, wrought iron or privacy fencing. Homes with no fences will be evaluated to make sure that the dog has enough opportunities during the day to exercise. Invisible fencing is not acceptable.
Adoption Policy
We are happy to hear from people interested in giving one of our wonderful dogs a responsible, lifelong home. Bully breeds become deeply attached and devoted to their families. Our animals are adopted as inside family pets only. If you feel you may not truly enjoy having a dog's constant companionship, enjoy having him/her sleep in your bedroom at night and share your activities by day, then you may be happier with a breed less oriented to human companionship.
Much like toddlers, puppies cannot go all day long in a crate and need to be let out often to receive physical exercise and mental stimulation. So as a general rule, preference is given to homes where they will have multiple breaks during the day. Homes where puppies are crated 6+ hours Monday thru Friday without breaks are not acceptable.
Puppies 0-12 months are required to attend Daycare at least once a week for socialization purposes, no exceptions.
Every dog must be enrolled in Obedience Training courses within 30 days after final adoption, no exceptions.
No out of State adoptions except of MD and DC. However, exceptions can apply under special circumstances.
The adopter must agree to stay in close contact with BPRS for the next 180 days after adoption to make sure that the adopted dog is adjusting well. This includes additional home visits if we deem necessary to help with adjustment issues. We want to make sure that the adoption is a success for both, adopter and dog. BPRS is there with you all the way.
Our adoption fees are:
· $150 for dogs directly out of a shelter
· $200 for dogs 6 months and older
· $350 for puppies 0 months to 6 months
· $150 for senior (age of 7 and up) or special needs dogs, but may have a reduced or waved adoption fee based on special circumstances.
We are a Not for Profit organization. Every cent of the adoption fee literally goes to help the dogs, the majority goes towards medical expenses. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and on heartworm/flea and tick preventatives: no exceptions.
If you are unable to keep your adopted dog for any reason he/she MUST be returned to BPRS.
A ll applicants are required to submit an online application to be considered for one of our animals.
All information is kept strictly confidential.
