Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Karma found her way to Its the Pits in April 2023 after a good Samaritan found her in need of emergency medical care, abandoned in a crate on the side of the road. Karma is now in great health, and as one of our longest rescue residents, we’d love to find her perfect person or family match in a forever home. Karma is small and sturdy and pretty active around the house and would need a home with a yard. Her tail never stops wagging when she’s prancing around, and foster Mom says she’s the happiest pup on the planet!! Karma love-love-loooves her toys, balls are an absolute favorite, and if you're up for watching movies in the evenings, she’s happy to sit on the sofa and join you! Karma is not real confident around new things, so a busy household is not her thing. She requires a patient owner to help reassure her and continue to build on the progress we’ve made over the last few years. Walks in busy neighborhoods can be overwhelming, so a quiet home with a yard and with someone who has prior experience with shy dogs would be a bonus! Once Karma is encouraged in a positive way, and something becomes familiar, she does great! Karma would do best in a home, with someone who is also a bit of a homebody and not gone for long periods during the day. Karma is crate trained, house broken (she’s never had an accident in her foster home). Karma sits for treats – and has a great eye to catch a treat with a gentle toss. When it’s time to call it a night, Karma will happily trot to the bedroom and enjoy sleeping in your bed if you’ll let her. She sleeps quietly through the night, not making a peep or stirring at all. Karma has some dietary considerations and would love to find a home who understands a raw-feeding plan, or is willing to spend the time researching and/or being educated on a raw food diet.    Please consider sponsoring Karma with either a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation. Your donation will help It's The Pits with day-to-day care, including food, vaccinations, flea treatment, treats and toys. Click on the Sponsor This Pet link above to make your donation today.

Story
How this pet arrived: Diesel was brought in by a community member on September 2, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Diesel is a handsome, mature Mastiff mix with a big heart and an even bigger presence! When you first meet him, you'll notice his deep brindle coat, soulful eyes, and gentle, expressive face.Diesel can be a strong, energetic dog, especially when he's excited or in busy environments, but he has also shown a calm, affectionate side with people he trusts. In quieter settings, he enjoys leaning in for pets, cuddling up close, and soaking in attention.Diesel has made great progress during his time at the shelter - he's learned to settle more easily in his room and has been showing more relaxed, friendly behaviors toward familiar staff. He's eager for a patient adopter who can help him continue building confidence and channeling his energy in positive ways.Because of his size and occasional reactivity around other dogs, Diesel would do best as the only pet in the home, with an adopter experienced in large breeds. A calm, structured environment and daily enrichment will help him thrive.Diesel has so much love to give and just needs the right person to help him feel safe and at home again. Could that be you? At SDHS:Diesel has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Diesel is now ready for his new home! Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 46.125 Age: 8yrs 0mths 0wks
