Story
Meet Blanca Breed: Pit Bull Mix Date of Birth: July 11, 2021 ⚖️ Weight: 80 pounds Spayed & Healthy Intake Date: June 6, 2023 Blanca is a big, beautiful girl with a loving heart and a happy, eager spirit. She enjoys attention and affection from her people and has so much potential to thrive in the right home. This smart girl is currently in training through the Paws to Prison Program at Corcoran Prison, where she’s learning from dedicated inmate handlers. She’s working on important skills like sit, stay, and leash walking, helping her grow into a more confident and obedient companion. The structure and care of this program are helping Blanca build trust and become her best self. Notes from the trainer: Blanca is a gentle, 4-year-old American Pit Terrier/Dogo Argentino mix weighing about 85–90 pounds. Despite common misconceptions about her breed, she’s calm, motherly, and easy to love. Blanca is bilingual, responding to commands in both Spanish and English, and knows a variety of tricks and manners such as sitting, lying down, rolling over, staying, and waiting patiently for food. She’s house-trained, non-aggressive, and takes treats gently. Blanca is great with other dogs, enjoys tug-of-war, basketball, belly rubs, cuddling, and even baths. She’s ticklish on her chest and back legs, rarely barks, and communicates when she needs to go outside. While she dislikes loud noises and will chase lawnmowers, she loves golf cart rides. She’s curious about cats in a playful way. Due to past mistreatment, she may cower if hands move quickly near her face, but she remains affectionate and trusting. Overall, Blanca is a loving, well-mannered companion who craves attention, enjoys naps, and is looking for a safe, caring forever home. Special Considerations Blanca may do best as the only dog in a home without young children. She’s selective with other animals and needs a calm, experienced owner who understands dog behavior and can continue her training with patience and consistency. Breed Information Pit Bull mixes like Blanca are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and strong bonds with their humans. With proper guidance and a stable environment, they become deeply devoted, affectionate companions. They require exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation to stay balanced and happy. Owner Responsibilities ❤️ Adopting Blanca means committing to: Daily exercise, structured routines, and continued positive reinforcement Regular veterinary care, quality food, and preventive health measures A calm, stable home where she feels safe and loved Advocating for her breed and being a responsible pet owner Things to Consider Before adopting Blanca, please ask yourself: Do you have experience with strong, intelligent breeds? Can you provide time, patience, and consistent leadership? Does your home (and landlord, if applicable) allow large dogs? Is your lifestyle suited to a one-dog household? A Commitment for Life Blanca is not an outdoor or chained dog—she's a family member who deserves to live indoors with love, safety, and respect. Adopting her means a lifetime commitment. She’s ready for a second chance with someone who believes in her and is ready to offer the structure and affection she needs. If you're experienced, understanding, and ready to offer Blanca the forever home she deserves, she’s ready to return that love tenfold. ❤️ Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog, please complete an adoption application by visiting: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Thank you for considering adoption through Ozzie and Friends Rescue, a Los Angeles–based rescue dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at a loving home.
