Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tamatoa, also known as "Tuesday" is a 2 to 3 year old brindle pit mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for life. Originally adopted as a puppy, Tuesday found his way back to us when his previous owner faced health challenges. His original name with the rescue was Tamatoa, but when he was adopted his name was changed to Tuesday. As he is used to that name, we decided to keep his new name, Tuesday! Now thriving in his foster home, he has blossomed into a loyal, playful, and eager to learn companion.
This medium energy boy loves to balance fun with relaxation. After some training, playtime, or a good sniffing adventure, Tuesday is perfectly content to curl up on the couch for a nap. He already knows an impressive list of commands including sit, paw, lay down, leave it, place, look at me, and go sniff. He is also crate trained. His love for training makes him a joy to work with, and he is always excited to show off his progress.
Tuesday is dog friendly with proper introductions and absolutely adores people, including kids. With his high prey drive, a cat free home would be best. He is working on curbing his jumping when he gets excited, but his eagerness to please makes him a fast learner.
When he is not training, you will find Tuesday happily chewing on a bone, tearing into a toy, or helping with whatever you are up to. He loves being included in daily life. He is making big strides with his anxiety, showing how resilient and determined he is to be the best dog he can be.
If you are looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy, playfulness, and lots of love into your home, Tuesday might just be your perfect match.

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.
