My personality

My story

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

Isla (formerly known as "Snow") is a 3 y.o., female, gorgeous Albino deaf Pitbull Terrier looking for a forever home. She's very energetic, loves people and the outdoors. She loves toys, chasing leaves, shadows and anything that moves, cuddling, treats, and belly rubs. Isla needs a patient owner that understands her need to be the only pet in the home with no small children. While she is not aggressive toward humans, if scared, she will hide in her crate and can be reactive if someone tries to reach inside of the crate to force her out. Because she is deaf, she can become overstimulated and need to use her crate as her safe space and will go there on her own when needed. Isla is crate trained and will happily sleep either in bed with her humans (warning - she is a bed hog and she wants her head on your pillow!) or in her crate (covered by a blanket). Isla is trained to respond to the vibration on her e-collar to "come" and is working on the "stay" command using hand signals. She knows how to sit and lay and the "no" command (again, hand signs). She is not a destructive dog and will not chew on furniture, etc. While she loves to play with other dogs, she does resource guard and does not pick up on social cues, which frustrates other animals and makes them anxious, and has resulted in physical aggression from other dogs toward Isla and vice versa that is significant and creates an unsafe environment for her and other animals. She is fully potty trained. She has not yet mastered walking nicely on a leash, though she has had a few lessons with a trainer, she does tend to pull due to her high energy nature and visual distractibility. Isla is a love - if you enjoy a funny, playful pup that loves to snuggle and are looking to devote all of your love to one pet - she will be that dog that is by your side 24/7!

More about this rescue

We are a group of volunteers who have volunteered in rescue for almost 10 years. We are so committed to rescue, spay/neuter, medical care for homeless dogs and wanted to make a difference so we started our own non-profit, 501c3, USDA approved rescue in Massachusetts. We work with rescue partners in Texas to address the growing incidence of animal homelessness.
