My personality

My story

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

Kennedy was confiscated from her home with several siblings who did not make it and they were abandoned. She loves being pet more than playing with her toys. Kennedy is a small and sweet people friendly dog that kind of looks part Rottweiler. If you give her a pet she will roll over on her back every time! Kennedy would do best in a home that will focus on her socialization with other dogs, she loves to play and often gets very excited!

Kennedy's energy level is decent for a puppy under 1 year old. She gets excited when it’s time for a walk and when she meets new people. A family who has the time to care and love her would be perfect. She currently knows the command "sit" and is working on crate training with her foster family. If you are looking for a friend to be by your side look no further. Kennedy is a loyal friend, good watch dog, and will cuddle your heart out! She is most famous for rolling on her back when you pet her!

Three words to describe Kennedy? Bubbly, snuggly, and charming! Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?

More about this rescue

Players for Pits is a 501c3, non profit rescue that connects professional athletes to the community in order to come together to take a stand against the abuse and neglect of animals. PFP serves the western suburbs of Chicago and is a foster based rescue, so the dogs in our care are in foster homes learning the basics of being a well balanced dog versus being in cages at loud boarding facilities.

The athletes involved in our rescue actively support the rescue efforts and help by spreading the word of dogs in need. It is the mission of Players for Pits to educate dog owners about proper pet care - both physical and mental - so that the dogs in our care can be happy, well balanced members of society. It is our goal to rescue dogs from high kill shelters and place them into loving homes in the suburbs. At Players for Pits we stand up for pit bulls, who's character is routinely tarnished and often misrepresented. We recognize the pit bull for what it is: a DOG. And any dog with the right care and owners can be a wonderful pet. While we are an advocate for pit bulls, we do not discriminate based on breed and will take in other breeds if they need you help. Players for Pits is also very active in the community and we co-host clinics to help struggling families maintain their pets health, we train pit bull type dogs to become therapy dogs for children with abusive backgrounds, and we try to involve the community in our goal to reduce pet abandonment.
