My story

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

Gumbo’s name suits him perfectly — he’s a warm, comforting mix of everything good. This medium-sized pup has had a tough start but is learning every day that life with kind humans is pretty wonderful. He’s shy at first, but his sweet nature shines through as soon as he feels loved. Gumbo is happiest curled up next to his people or following them from room to room. He’s also very food motivated, so training (and treat time) are his favorite moments. He’s gaining weight and confidence, one belly rub at a time. Stay tuned as we learn more about how lovely Gumbo is!

ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate
information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities. That said, we cannot guarantee
that any dog is housebroken or crate trained and cannot promise any specifics regarding an
animal’s breed, size, health, behavior, temperament, or other conditions. Our adoption fee does
not fully cover all vetting, medical care, food, supplies, or training costs. As we depend on
donations to provide for the animals in our care, we are unable to reduce or refund the adoption
fee. Out of area adopters (outside of DC, MD, VA and PA) will be considered on a case by case
basis and will be required to come to the foster location for an in-person meet-and-greet. Our
rescue is not able to provide out of state transport.
TO DONATE: Please visit our website at www.https://perfectlypairedpitties.org/Donate/ to make
a donation. Your contribution will help Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3) continue providing essential
medical treatment and training for our dogs.

More about this rescue

P3 is a united rescue effort to both save pitties and support veterans. At P3 we LOVE Pitties & we LOVE & RESPECT our Veterans! 2800 Pitties & Pittie Mixes are euthanized in overcrowded shelters every day, over 1 million every year. 22 Veterans commit suicide every day, over 8,030 per year. At P3 we find these numbers UNACCEPTABLE! P3 was created in March of 2024 with the goal of rescuing Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes from overcrowded shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia and providing the necessary training for them to provide emotional support, nightmare alerts, and pressure therapy during episodes of anxiety and stress so they can be paired with a Veteran struggling with PTSD reducing the risk of Veteran suicide. While we support our Veterans, our rescue is not limited to the placement of service dogs for Veterans only. Our Veterans program is only one aspect of what we do. We want to help EVERY pittie find the perfect furever family!
