Hello, nice to meet you. I’m OTIS.
And yes… I do have a story. 📖🐾
I started out at the pound, waiting patiently like so many good dogs do, hoping someone would choose me. One day, they did. I was over the moon, tail wagging, heart wide open. Freedom at last.
But my happy ending didn’t come then.
The person who adopted me didn’t actually have a home. So instead of a couch and a food bowl, I went from the pound… to the streets. For 10 long months, I survived on my own. No one really knows how I managed, but I did.
When this rescue realized what had happened, they were heartbroken. They were trying to line up a foster for me, but this person got to me first. Fast forward months later, when a volunteer spotted me on another shelter’s Facebook page. One message. One alert. And suddenly everything changed. The director jumped into action, and just like that, I was finally safe.
And here I am. ❤️
Despite everything, I’m still the same big, goofy, gentle soul. A little scuffed up on the outside maybe, but my heart never hardened. I still love people. I still trust. I still believe my forever human is out there.
About Me:

🎂 2 years old
⚖️ 96 lbs of love

More about this rescue
Our Mission
To Rescue. We are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing Bullies and their other Buddy Breeds in Southern California.
Whether you are a lifetime advocate of Pit Bulls or new to our cause, we invite you to join us. Get Involved with fostering, volunteering, and sharing all of our adoptable loving dogs.
Rescuing is a Way of Life
Through training, love and patience, we have come to know and love each and every dog we've rescued as if they were ours. They're all little angels and we want them to succeed.
For this reason, we pledge to never take on more dogs than we can properly care for, exercise, train and bring to our dog adoptions.
