REDUCED ADOPTION FEE for this sweet senior! Meet Ms. Jules! A stunning 8-year-old pit bull in search of a loving forever home for her golden years. She was adopted from us four years ago, but her challenges with other dogs have intensified, especially after a past incident where another dog came after her. Now, she can be defensive during walks when encountering other dogs.
Jules is incredibly loving and affectionate, never barks, and is fully house-trained. She enjoys attention, treats, and car rides, making her a delightful companion. However, she does face some challenges. While she generally gets along with children, overly energetic and loud kids can make her anxious, causing her to shake and refuse food.
She’s also uncomfortable in environments with other pets, which means she’s more of a homebody. Car rides are fine, but she prefers to avoid places with other dogs. Grooming can be tricky too; she dislikes having her nails trimmed and can be difficult to bathe. Additionally, loud noises can frighten her.
Jules is returning to us due to the growing noise and energy in her current home, especially with two younger boys. She would thrive in a quieter environment, ideally with older teens or no kids at all, and no other pets. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for her to enjoy outdoor time safely or someone with a backyard they can take her out on a leash. She doesn't need a lot of exercise at this stage of her life - just lots of love!
👉 Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.

✍ APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.
📌IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.
🗺 ADOPTION AREA: several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
