American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

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

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rukia is a spunky 4.5 year old pitbull mix— she’s a unique, energetic, affectionate, sassy girl who is looking for a home to thrive in! She’s happiest being the center of attention— she loves toys, treats, romping around outside, and endless cuddles and scratches! She has a slight limp from a broken leg she got as a puppy, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and knows tons of tricks and commands! She’s very treat motivated and eager to please. Rukia is best suited for a home where she is the only dog. She loves all people, (including children), but older kiddos would be ideal to handle her rambunctious nature. She does best in a structured and consistent environment. She’s up to date on all vaccines and her belongings will be provided, (bowls, crate, etc.). Note: Rukia is allergic to bees, so Benadryl must be kept on hand. Her silly personality and energetic nature are perfect for someone who needs a loyal sidekick to tackle each day with!

Zeus

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Male, Young
Middletown, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
He is a young pup, He knows how to go outside to potty, basic commands. Loves to cuddle up with you, he does get along with my female pitte, just not the male. He has been with me since February 2026 due to keeping him for my niece but she never found a home. I have two dogs already plus taking care of an elderly parent so the job of another dog is getting to be a bit much for us. I want to give him a loving home where he can run freely and not be confined in a shelter or here at our home. Please help him!
