My story

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

 



***COURTESY POSTING NOT A TCWN DOG***CONTACT INFO AT BOTTOM***

I’ve been fostering Billy (A767158) from PACC for almost 5 months, and he has completely stolen my heart. He’s one of the shelter’s longest-term dogs.

 

Billy has spent most of his life in and out of shelters through no fault of his own. He first arrived at PACC with a broken back, survived being a stray for years, and endured the hardships of being overlooked and misunderstood. A staff member once told me, “No rescue will want him because he’s a black pit bull,” and I am determined to prove that mindset wrong. Billy is not just a black pit bull — he is a gentle soul, full of love, kindness, and loyalty. Shelter staff describe him simply as: “LOVE.”

 

Billy is affectionate with people, including children, and has been a wonderful companion during his time with me. He is best as the only pet, but could live with another dog if he is there first and the new dog is cool, calm, and submissive. He cannot live with cats or small critters due to prey drive. Despite his past, he has shown no aggression with me or my calm senior chihuahua — he simply wants love and connection.

 

I am currently 7 months pregnant, and while I will continue to foster him, I cannot keep him long-term. He is safe with me, but he deserves a permanent, loving home where he can finally thrive. If he were still at the shelter, he would be at high risk, simply because long-term residents like him are often overlooked.

I would be happy to provide more details, photos, or arrange a meet-and-greet. I am also willing to coordinate transport or assist with any requirements to make it easier for a rescue to pull him, or, even better, for his future forever home.

 

Billy is a warrior with a heart of gold, and he truly deserves a second chance.

 

With gratitude,

More about this rescue

Cold Wet Noses is a small group of individuals who take in the dogs that are going to be euthanized on any given day. We do this, when we can (when we have room for them), from Pima Animal Care Center (PACC).(we apologize we can only take in animals from the county shelter off of there rescue list) We bear all of the cost for spaying or neutering, micro-chipping, health care and shots . We're just a bunch of dog lovers who are trying to help as many furry souls as we can. The animals live with us so we know their personally and what would be the best fit for them. All of our Dogs and Cats our part of our family and we want that for them at your home. WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT DOGS TO HOMES THAT WANT TO KEEP THEM OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME THEY ARE NOT YARD DOGS. We love each and every foster and we want you to do so so as well. If they arent a good match in your home we insist that they come back to us until their perfect match is found. We truly believe that there is a perfect pet for a perfect home! Thank you for adopting a shelter dog or cat from Tucson Cold Wet Noses.
