My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please contact info@petadoptionservices.org for more information about this pet.

September 2023 will mark a year that Destiny has been in foster care with Pet Adoption Services. She and her sister, Brianna, were found abandoned in a cardboard box on the side of the road in Metairie. At 8 weeks old, both pups were suffering from malnutrition. They were nursed back to health over a couple of more months, which accounts for missing out on events during what is often considered the "most adoptable" puppy months. But at almost 14 months, with a more clearly evident personality and balancing young energy with evolving maturity, Destiny is a perfect fit for a home wanting to avoid full-on puppy stage. She is great with other dogs and clearly loves people.

Current on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. Current on flea preventative and heartworm preventative. 

Puppies and young adults should remain socialized to other dogs in their formative stages, so homes that can provide exposure to fully vaccinated and healthy well-behaved adult dogs is strongly preferred.
 

  • We ask that anyone applying take the extra obligation of owning this breed seriously, which means that you understand you must always strive for a any bully breed-type dog to be an ambassador for the breed.

  • ​This dog shows good other-dog tolerance at this time. However, dog tolerance levels in Pit Bull-type dogs can change as the dog matures. Please visit these links which will explain "dog-selectiveness" and how to set up multi-dog homes for success before you proceed with an application:
    Multi-Dog homes
    Dog/Dog Tolerance 
    ​Dog Parks
     
  • Some homeowners insurances exclude bully breeds, including staffordshire terriers and/or pit bulls and mixes of those breeds. It is the applicant's responsibility to know the terms of their homeowner's insurance prior to applying. 
     
  • Landlords may have breed and weight restrictions. It is the responsibility of renters to have spoken with their landlord and reviewed their lease agreement and to have this information available for the application. 

*Local adoptions (within 1 hour of New Orleans). We do NOT ship animals. Home check is required, therefore, we will be delivering this dog to your home.

If you have read the information in the links provided above and think that this dog is a fit for your lifestyle and home,please completed a   Dog Adoption Application

Our adoptions include a foster period of 4-6 weeks so that you can be sure that this pet is a good fit without any pressure, and we are available to answer any behavior or training questions during that time (and beyond, if you wish).

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The average adoption fee for dogs is $150, though some adoption fees may be occasionally lower or a bit higher. All animals offered for adoption are spayed or neutered, heartworm negative or undergoing treatment, up to date on vaccinations, treated for intestinal parasites, and microchipped. In addition to completing an adoption contract, potential adopters should be prepared to agree to a veterinarian reference check and home visit. A valid drivers license or state I.D. card is required. This simple yet thorough screening process allows us to place the right animal in your committed, loving home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Because each of our rescues lives in the home of one of our fosterparents, arrangements will be made for the adopter to meet the pet in which they are interested. Also, PAS holds a monthly adoption day at the Petsmart on Veterans Blvd in Metairie.

More about this rescue

Pet Adoption Services, Inc. is a non-profit all breed cat and dog rescue organization in New Orleans. Supported by over 20 volunteer members, Pet Adoption Services was founded in 1996, although some of our members have been involved in rescue for over 20 years. Our mission is to secure loving permanent homes for homeless, abandoned or abused cats and dogs of all breeds. While awaiting adoption, our animals live in the homes of one of our foster parents. During this time the animals receive any necessary veterinary care, including but not limited to, vaccinations, spaying or neutering and heartworm treatment. Our experienced foster parents continually assess each pet's personality and temperament allowing us to place adoptable cats and dogs in just the right permanent home. Pet Adoption Services participates in adoption days during which time, potential adopters get the opportunity to meet and spend time with the animals in a "real life" situation.
