My story

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

Roger is an exceptionally sweet and gentle boy. He came to Mayday completely shut down, and while he is considered special needs, he is very surprising!

Roger has learned the routine of the rescue, including being housebroken. Roger loves to ride in the car and go on walks, although he is very happy to be home and play in the yard. Roger does well with other dogs, especially lower energy types that he can keep up with. He is still learning new things, which is where he surprises us - like playing with toys or puzzles or licky mats.

Roger can be slow to warm up to people, but once he does, he is so loving. He loves to snuggle and be close to you.

Roger was born with hydrocephalus, a condition of water on the brain. Currently, Roger is not on any medication or special treatment. He runs, plays, and eats just like any happy dog. It is essential to ensure he does not bump his head or neck. Otherwise, Roger is a healthy little boy.

With a lot of patience and gentle guidance, this short stack is sure to win your heart just as he has ours.

More about this rescue

Mayday Pit Bull Rescue & Advocacy is an established, entirely volunteer run, 501c3 nonprofit. We focus on dogs with extreme medical, behavioral and special needs. We are devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating and securing placement for pit bull and pit bull mixes into responsible, permanent and loving homes. We partner with national animal welfare organizations to assist dogs from dog fighting, hoarding and other crisis/emergency situations.

We strive to educate the public about the pit bull breed in order to relieve suffering and prevent cruelty.

We advocate responsible pit bull ownership and educate the public about breed specific legislation.

Mayday Pit Bull Rescue & Advocacy is made up of a small group of volunteers based in Phoenix, Arizona, who are dedicated to improving the lives of pit bulls and re-establishing the breed as a beloved family pet.

We work directly with local Animal Care and Control shelters to rescue pit bulls from euthanasia with the goal of rehabilitation and permanent placement.
