My personality

My story

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

Meet Briar Rose, a rescued dog with her litter of babies. All the babies have found loving homes, leaving Briar Rose ready for her forever family. She’s been diligently training for several weeks, working on her manners and doing exceptionally well!

Briar Rose would thrive in a home where her adopters are active. She yearns to be an integral part of the family’s daily activities, whether it’s watching you clean, folding laundry, or barbequing in the backyard. While she enjoys relaxing and watching TV with you, she also needs her daily walk.

Briar Rose is house-trained and crate-trained. She walks great on a leash, but she gets super excited during the first fifteen minutes of a walk, eager to pull and react to every wild animal she sees. This can be easily corrected by turning around and walking the other direction.

Briar Rose is generally good with dogs, especially when introduced slowly and walked in parallel. She’s great with the foster dog, but she hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs nose-to-nose. She loves playing with the foster dog, but she hasn’t been tested with cats yet.

During her training, Briar Rose had exposure to farm animals, but she doesn’t bark at them; she’s just very interested.

Briar Rose hasn’t been around kids, but dog-smart kids should be okay. She’s good with men, especially during poker nights when she craves attention from everyone at the table. She’s also good with women.

Briar Rose’s energy level is high when she rides in cars and gets to go to Home Depot. She’s excited on walks and has been working on consistency.

Briar Rose needs to ride in a kennel in the car because she’s very curious and wants to be everywhere, which is dangerous while driving. She does fine with short trips, but she can’t be left unattended in the car because she’ll do whatever it takes to find you, even just running into the store real quick.

She can sit and will also demonstrate control by sitting when an external door is opened. If she starts to open the door and moves before you want her to, take your hand off the handle, wait for her to sit, and then try again. She responds well to this command. She also knows the “down” command for lying down. She’s in the early stages of the “stay” command, but we’re working on it. Additionally, she’s in the early stages of the “recall” command when off the leash.

Rose has focus and excels in her training class. This well-behaved dog would thrive with more training to become an even better companion at home or if you wanted her to compete in dog events like obedience, rally, or agility.

She’s food-motivated and will eagerly go to the box, receive a treat, and return to the box for another treat.

She’s had some anxiety when left alone at home, but that has improved in the past month or so. She understands the “crate” command and will go to the crate and receive a treat. When it’s time for dinner, she’ll eagerly enter her crate and wait patiently for her meal.

Rose enjoys sleeping in the bed with her foster dad.

After years of being a street dog with a litter of puppies, she’s been spayed and is now ready for her next chapter. With her infectious 10,000-watt smile, she’s destined to become a beloved companion for someone special.

She has had parvo/distemper, bordatella, a rabies shot, microchip, dewormer, heartworm testing, and is spayed. Her adoption fee is $165.

Submit Application

Additional adoption info

The adoption process:

Step 1: Complete the Adoption Application. You can request an adoption application via email. Once complete the form can be emailed back for review. You can always pick a adoption application at any of our events.

Step 2: We will review completed applications, do reference and fence checks, as well as a home visit, if needed. Please remember that adopting a pup is making a commitment of 10-15 years, so we do not take any shortcuts in processing applications. It is our responsibility to place these pups in the very best homes we can possibly find for them.

Step 3: When your Adoption Application is approved, we will schedule a time for you to meet the pup that just might be the newest member of your family.

***Please remember that we are an all-volunteer, foster based rescue organization. We do not have a public shelter facility, so all meetings for potential adopters and fosters are done by appointment only. ***

Step 4: After the meeting, if everything seems to be a perfect match, the final step is the signing of the Adoption Contract, payment of the $165 adoption fee and $75 deposit, which makes it $240 (if the animal is not spayed or neutered yet), and taking your new family member home. You will get your deposit back when their 6 months old and altered.

Go meet their pets

We are an all-volunteer, foster based rescue organization. We do not have a public shelter facility, so most of our meet-and-greet are by appointments. You can also check out our calendar of events on our Facebook page, facebook.com/txpitcrew940, for other opportunities to meet our pups. Of course, we will always try to be as flexible as possible when scheduling meet-and-greets.

More about this rescue

We are a non-profit volunteer ran organization dedicated to eradicating animal cruelty to all breeds in Wichita and surrounding counties. While we will help any animal in need that we can, we seek to promote the bully breed as the loving and loyal animals they are. All our animals are in private foster homes of caring volunteers. Our animals come to us under many different circumstances. They may be from an accidental or unwanted litter, the one abandoned at a shelter, the one that "got too big", the one sitting on the side of the road waiting for the owner, the one that escaped their chain, the irresponsible result of a breeder, the one left behind when the owners moved, or the one beat and left for dead. The list could go on. We hold adoption events throughout the year and during the colder months we hit the streets looking for neglected and/or dogs in need. We hand out cold weather supplies and educate owners about community resources that are available and proper dog ownership.
