My story

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

Meet Constance (Connie) – Your New Best Friend!

Constance, affectionately known as Connie, is a sweet and lovable senior pitbull mix with a heart full of love to give. This adorable low-rider has short tan fur, a charming underbite with two tiny teethies, and a wrinkly face that will melt your heart. After spending her earlier years as a mama dog, Connie is now ready to settle into a comfortable retirement where she can soak up all the attention and affection she deserves.

Although Connie has struggled to find her forever home, her loving nature remains unchanged. Connie would thrive in a home where she’s the only pet, as she enjoys her own space, and be the center of your world. She’s not interested in doggy playmates, but she’s all about the human companionship!

Connie enjoys the occasional burst of playful energy, especially when she gets to thrash her stuffed toys around, but for the most part, she’s all about snuggles and affection. She’s the perfect companion for someone who enjoys quiet, cozy moments and wants a loyal shadow to cuddle up with.

If you're looking for a goofy, affectionate, and snuggly companion to spend your days with, Connie just might be the perfect fit. She’s ready to retire and bask in your love. Are you ready to welcome this sweet girl into your home?

Constance is looking for a home where she can be your one and only – could that be with you?

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.
