Story

Gerald’s story could have ended very differently. When he arrived at the shelter, he was severely emaciated, weak, and could barely stand. He spent time under the close care of our veterinary team, who carefully monitored and nourished him through his recovery. Today, Gerald is healthy, happy, and finally ready for the forever home he deserves. At 6 years old, this sweet pit mix has already endured more than most dogs should — including recently losing an eye. But Gerald hasn’t let any of that dim his spirit. He’s resilient, loving, and truly one of the easiest dogs you could ever meet. Gerald is fully house trained, crate trained, and exceptionally well behaved. No jumping, no countersurfing, no chaos — just a calm, gentle soul who wants to be near his people. He takes treats like a perfect gentleman, loves kids, and is happiest curled up in a soft bed or stretched out in a sunny spot soaking up the warmth. After everything he’s been through, Gerald is simply looking for love, comfort, and someone to call his own. Gerald needs to be the only dog in the home, where he can finally relax, feel secure, and be the center of someone’s world. He’s happiest soaking up all the love and attention for himself — and honestly, he deserves it. If you’ve been searching for a loyal, laid-back companion with a heart of gold, Gerald may just be your perfect match.

Story

This sweet boy is continuing to do really well in foster care. He is still showing no signs of pain and is settling beautifully into his calm, easy routine. Topher has a unique strut due to his vertebrae defect, but it doesnt take away from his happy, easygoing spirit one bit. Hes the definition of a chill boycontent just being near his people and enjoying the slow life. One little note: I havent heard him bark, but he will let out a short howl after I leave him. It only lasts a minute or so and then he settles right back in. At this time, we are beginning to accept adoption applications for Topher. If youre looking for a low-key, gentle soul who just wants companionship and a soft place to land, he may be your guy

Olive

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Ayden, NC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Olive is a sweet, low-energy girl who is patiently waiting for her forever home. Olive absolutely adores people of all ages and quickly becomes your little shadow, happily following you from room to room. You may even find yourself checking the floor before stepping away from the kitchen counter because she always wants to be close to her people. Olive is calm, affectionate, and easygoing. She enjoys walks, rides well in the car, and would happily join you for a hike, but she’s just as content lounging on the couch beside you while you relax at home. She is crate trained, behaves well when left alone, and is very food motivated, which has helped her learn commands like “sit” and “down.” Olive has tested heartworm positive in the past, but she is being treated. She will come with heartworm treatment for the remainder of the year. While Olive loves humans, she can be very selective with other dogs and may do best as the only dog in the home. She does well around cats and mostly ignores them unless one suddenly takes off running and she decides it’s time to play. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a gentle personality and lots of affection to give, Olive may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story

Meet Melina: Our Tiny Tripawd with a Heart Full of Courage If you've been following Melina's journey, you already know this little girl has captured hearts everywhere. At just 3 months old, Melina has already overcome more challenges than most dogs face in a lifetime. She came to Pitt Friends as a tiny puppy with a severely broken leg. Despite surgery, complications from an infection meant her journey took an unexpected turn, and this brave girl ultimately became a tripawd. Through every vet visit, every recovery milestone, and every setback, Melina has shown us exactly who she is: resilient, loving, and full of joy. Named after the Greek word for "honey," Melina truly lives up to her name. With her beautiful honey-colored coat and her sweet, affectionate personality, she leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Now, after weeks of healing and strict crate rest, Melina is finally ready to begin searching for the forever family she's waited so patiently for. Don't let her three legs fool you Melina doesn't let anything slow her down. She has all the playful puppy energy, curiosity, and determination of any other young dog. She especially loves being around other dogs and is happiest when she has canine friends nearby. She's also been keeping an impressively clean kennel for such a young puppy. Melina's ideal family will understand that she's still a puppy learning about the world and will continue to support her as she grows into a confident, happy companion. In return, they'll gain a best friend who has already proven that strength comes in the smallest packages. Her journey hasn't been easy, but brighter days are finally here. Could you be the family that gives Melina the happy ending she deserves?
