My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Bazooka Joe and I ended up at a rural shelter in pretty bad shape. Worst part? I had been adopted, but when my family divorced, they decided they had too many dogs and I was dumped. My skin was raw and red and so ucomfortable.

But you know what? I am over all of that. I am the nicest guy ever. I harbor no ill will against anyone. People? love them. Dogs? they are great. Cats? sure, why not. I just want a comfy bed and a family that will spoil me rotten. I am hard of hearing, but it doesn't bother me, so hopefully it won't bother you. I am good in my crate, love car rides, enjoy baths and walks and will even sit still for nail trims. I may look all stoic since I am an older gentleman, but I do get excited and my foster mom says it is adorable. Looking for a GREAT dog? I am definitely your boy.

I was Mr. September along with the lovely Jillian in the 2023 “Ballet and Bullies” calendar!

I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $175 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me!

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!
