My story

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

DUCK

A little backstory on Duck: He spent the first 10 or so months of his life living on the street, taking up residence in a planter box and being cared for by neighbors. He was too afraid to be leashed or go inside, but he would take himself on walks with neighbors and their dogs.

Eventually, Duck made his way into our program. Since then, his worried brow has somewhat smoothed, mostly thanks to the help of his patient foster mom and his many dog friends. Duck is the definition of "needs an ESA" and does really well with a human-social dog by his side who can show him how things are done.

Duck's best fit would be a home with a yard (walks are a little too advanced for this worried guy!), a dog who loves people (and him), and human parents who are committed to taking things sloooooow. If you're committed to the long con, that's the kind of mentality that will go far with Duck! He'd love to take the next step on his journey and with your patience, smoothe some more of those wrinkles off of his forehead.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Angel City Pit Bulls has dogs who demonstrate stable, fun, people-oriented, outgoing personalities- making them fantastic family dogs. We have a wide range of energy levels, so whether you are looking for a running partner, potential “therapy dog”, or a couch potato, we will typically have a dog that will fit the bill.

Our goal is to provide you with a thoughtful and personalized adoption experience. We will work with you to find a dog that is right for your situation. Many of the ACPB dogs live in multi-dog foster homes, and enjoy the company of other well-matched dogs and some even with well-matched cats. We are happy to assist with family pet introductions.

Our adoption center is open by appointment only. To get started, we ask that you fill out a brief application (link is above). Following that, you will receive an email with a link to set up a call with our team to begin the match-making and adoption process. We'll set up a meet and greet for the dog(s) you are interested in, including introductions to your family pets if needed. When you are ready to move forward with the adoption, we will arrange a home delivery to help you get settled in with the newest member of your family.

Resources, support, and education are always available, and you can expect an extensive level of knowledge and support from ACPB for the lifetime of your dog.

We ask for an adoption donation of $250 for dogs over 6 months old, and $350 for a puppy under 6 months old. This non-taxdeductible contribution assists us in continuing our mission to help more dogs in need.
