Meet Smudge! 

This beautiful guy with an unusual merle coat came to us from @bostonanimalcontrol after being bounced around from home to home at such a young age. 
Smudge is a mellow sweetheart with the softest soul and the most expressive puppy-dog eyes you’ve ever seen. He’s low to moderate energy overall, happiest lounging near his people, with occasional short bursts of playful zoomies when the mood strikes. He enjoys leisurely leash walks, exploring fields and woods on a long lead, and romping around the yard. Bonus points if there’s snow involved because Smudge loves the snow!

This gentle boy is still learning the ropes of being a puparoo and is working on house training, but he’s eager to learn.
He does best with frequent potty breaks and a patient, consistent routine. Smudge does not pull on walks but he would love to help hold the leash!  
Inside, he has free rein of the house prefers the living room, where he can keep an eye on his people. At night, he sleeps comfortably in his crate with a cozy dog bed nearby.

Smudge is polite, calm, and friendly when he sees other dogs and meets new people. 
 New or loud sounds can startle him at first, but with reassurance he settles quickly and continues to build confidence every day. He’s a bit of a talker too, “arguing” with adorable whines and even howling in his sleep from time to time. Add in his lopsided ears that perk forward when he’s curious, and you’ve got one charming little guy.

Smudge would thrive in a home ready to guide him through the basics with patience and kindness, help him feel safe with new experiences, and ideally offer a yard or access to nature for exploring. He’s the perfect mix of independent play and wanting to be close to his people — a quiet companion who just wants to belong.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup that'll leave a smudge on your heart, we've got the guy for you!

More about this rescue

PittieLove Rescue Inc. is an all-volunteer, foster-home-based rescue dedicated to the care, understanding, and adoption of the American Pit Bull Terrier. As one of the most abused and misunderstood “breeds” of all time, PittieLove’s number one goal is for our rescued dogs to never suffer from neglect or abuse again, carefully placing them into loving homes where they will be ambassadors for the breed.
Working closely with MA shelters, MA animal control facilities and fellow rescue organizations, we help as many dogs in need as we have foster homes for. Before the dogs come into our rescue, they undergo a thorough temperament evaluation. If they pass, they are then placed into loving foster homes where they are provided with quality veterinary care, initial training and lots of socialization (with both people and animals of all ages). Our dogs are up to date on their vaccinations (age appropriate), spayed/neutered and micro-chipped prior to adoption.
