My story

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

💘 Ila — your Valentine with muscles, manners-in-training, and a whole lotta heart.
Brindle. Beefy. Beautiful. And built to love you hard. Ila is a happy, high-spirited girl who lives somewhere between playful goofball and affectionate lovebug. She’s still figuring out the ins and outs of home life, but she’s smart, eager to please, and absolutely crushing her training era. Give her structure, play, and positive vibes, and this girl will THRIVE.
Ila is toy-obsessed (squeaky toys = true love), loves romping with her dog friends, and is always down for the next adventure. She’s dreaming of an active home — one with walks, playtime, training sessions, and a human who says, “Yeah, let’s do one more lap.”
🐾 Dog-friendly with calm, patient dogs over 55 lbs
🧸 Squeaky-toy superfan
💖 Playful, affectionate, eager to learn
🏡 Best in an active home with structure & consistency
💉 Up to date on vaccines
🛡️ On preventatives
📍 Microchipped
At the end of the day, Ila is the kind of girl who will make you laugh, keep you moving, and then curl up beside you like she’s been yours forever. She’s got so much love packed into that brindle, beefy body — she just needs a family ready to match her energy and fall a little in love. 🖤🐾💝

More about this rescue

This is an all volunteer organization dedicated to the improvement of the lives of our best friends.

Currently millions of pets are euthanized every year due to over population. In fact, each person in the U.S would have to take 8-9 dogs or cats per person for all of the homeless pets to be adopted. To decrease the number of pets euthanized each year it is important to educate people about the importance of spaying and neutering our pets. Also, with the help of volunteers and donations, we can help to arrange low cost spay and neuter programs, thus providing these services to those who could not otherwise afford them. Through education and spay/neuter programs we can help to combat the problem of over population. It is the national goal within animal rescue organizations that this will be a no kill nation. We will strive to do our part with your help.

For those dogs already in distress, our goal is to rescue homeless and surrendered dogs. With the support of donations and the hard work of volunteers, we can rescue and rehabilitate dogs in need. We will provide shelter, veterinary care, love, toys, food, and training for those who are in need. In addition, we work to find forever homes for each dog and, once adopted, we support the adoptive owners so the adjustment process is successful and the new family member is a permanent member.

Finally, pitbull breeds are in grave distress: of all dogs in shelters, 70-75% are pit bulls or pit bull mixes. Only 1 in 600 dogs of this breed will find a home and the remainder are euthanized. Due to the pervasive negative publicity surrounding this breed, there is a reluctance to allow one to become a family member. Yet in the past, this breed was the most popular in the country; the immortalized as the marine mascot; and was affectionately known as "the nanny dog". Through the work of dedicated animal groups such as Bestfriends Animal Society, BAD RAP and many others, this amazing breed is being given a chance to correct the negative reputation they have been unjustly branded with. Remember: a dog's behavior is a reflection of the personality traits of his or her owner and not the reverse.
