My story

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

Hi, I’m Nishi—a handsome black Pit Bull/Lab mix with a heart as big as my 60-pound frame. I’m four years old, full of playful energy, and always ready for the next adventure. Whether it’s a hike through the woods, a jog around the neighborhood, or just a good old-fashioned game of fetch, I’m your go-to guy. And when the day winds down? I’m all about those cozy cuddles.

I get along well with other dogs and would thrive with a high-energy playmate to keep up with my zest for life. I’d also be a great match for an active human who loves being outdoors and can give me the structure and consistency I need to be my best self. Because I can be a bit rambunctious, I’d do best in a home with older, teenage kids—I’d never want to accidentally knock over a little one with my enthusiasm. I haven’t been tested with cats yet, but if that’s important to you, just say the word and we can find out.

I’m a smart cookie and eager to please—I already know how to sit, stay, and come. I’m potty trained, crate trained, and walk well on a leash, so I’m ready to hit the road with you. I’m also neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative—healthy and ready for my forever home.

Right now, I’m being fostered in Colonial Heights, VA, but I can be transported out of state for the right match. Please note, there is a transport fee. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who is equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug, I might just be your perfect fit. Fill out an application and let’s start our journey together—I can’t wait to meet you!

Our adoptable dogs are all in various foster homes and can be met by contacting rescue. Rescue will then provide foster home's contact information.

We also have adoption events at Petsmart on various dates which can be checked on our Facebook page, Operation Save a Shelter Dog.

More about this rescue

Our Mission​

Operation Save A Shelter Dog is a foster based, IRS-recognized 501c(3) rescue whose mission is to work with shelters on the East Coast by saving dogs at high risk of euthanasia or that have little hope of adoption in their current condition. Not only is it our goal to find furever homes for our dogs, but also to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, vaccinating and providing preventative care for their pets.
