Meet Beezy…Look at this cutie!â¤ï¸
Beezy was rescued along with his mom and eight siblings, who were born at a shelter in Charlotte and taken in by one of our partner rescues. This wonderful group, which we work with regularly, vets moms and their babies before sending them up north to find loving homes.
Beezy was the smallest of his siblings, and when it was time for the litter to get their vaccinations, he was still too tiny and had to be held back, missing his transport. They asked if we could take him in, and honestly, who could resist that gorgeous boy with the rich chocolate coat and striking blue eyes?
Beezy is now about 14 weeks old and is settling into his local foster home. His mom was a pittie mix, but he’s clearly mixed with a smaller breed. At only 10-12 lbs, he was half the size of his siblings. A typical pittie pup that will ultimately be 50–60 lbs would likely be over 10 lbs by this age. He’s perfectly healthy, just petite, and we suspect he may have a different father from the rest of his pack.
FUN FACT: Dogs from the same litter can have different fathers; it’s actually fairly common. If a female mates with more than one male during her fertile period, different males can fertilize different eggs. This means pups from the same litter can have different dads.
What we know for sure about Beezy is that he’s sweet with his humans. He enjoys playtime outdoors and loves curling up in your lap for snuggles. We've also learned he's a spirited pup. He's at that stage of development where he needs rules and boundaries. He’s very smart and trainable. He's crate-trained, mostly housetrained, and will let his foster mom know when he needs to go out. He needs work on his leash skills and basic obedience, and a commitment to his doggy social skills.
Looking for an owner with some dog experience, preferably bully experience, who is ready for puppy mode.

Thank you for considering adoption and choosing to save a dog’s life!
Adding a dog to your family is a rewarding and life-changing experience. Dogs enrich our lives and have the amazing ability to give and receive love unconditionally. They can be your loyal companion and friend, and a watchful playmate for your kids, but they are also a serious, long-term commitment. They will depend on you for their health and well-being, and require an investment of love, time, and money for the rest of their life.
As you search for your new dog, please remember that there is no shortage of dogs who need saving. There are far more dogs waiting to be adopted than people who are willing to adopt them, so if the dog in the picture who you’ve imagined bringing home isn’t available, there are thousands more amazing, loving dogs just hoping for the chance to be your dog. We ask that you keep an open mind, stay flexible, and we will do our best to work with you to find a great match for your family.
We strongly encourage anyone thinking about adopting a dog to do your research and make sure you are prepared for the commitment. If you have thought about what’s required and are ready to adopt, here’s what you can expect when you apply to adopt a dog from Worthy Dog Rescue.
Worthy Dog Rescue cannot guarantee that the dog you apply for will be available once you have been approved. We do our best to work with adopters and meet your needs, but we do not adopt dogs on a first-come, first-serve basis. All applications are screened to determine the most suitable match for the dog and the adopter. We want to place dogs in good homes as quickly as possible, so the dog can start their new life with their family, and we can free up their foster home to save another dog in need.
We understand how easy it is to become attached to a dog you’ve found online, but sometimes the dog you apply for may already be scheduled to meet another adopter, or it may not be the best fit for your home for a variety of behavioral reasons. Our dogs are fostered by one of our volunteers, living in their home as part of their family. This allows us to get to know the dog, what they need, their level of socialization, and the type of home that will best suit them.
Our goal is to place dogs in loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. We take great care in finding good matches for our dogs and adopters too. We look forward to working with you to find the dog that will be with you and your family for many years to come.
