American Pit Bull Terrier

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tanner was found abandoned at the gas station kennels at Tom Wells Rd exit just before the AZ/CA border in December 2024. My family and I were headed to LAX to go to Asia for the holiday, but didnt want to leave him there on the side of the road. We were able to get him into the San Berdardino City shelter and headed to the airport. In February 2025, I saw on Facebook that the city shelter put him on the Euth list for the end of the month so I picked him up on 2/21. I was working with a shelter in Phoenix in hopes of getting him adopted through them (and us serving as Tanners foster), but they have since cut off all contact with me. Tanner was neutered on 4/17 and is around 11 months old (per my VCA vet). Tanner does well with kids though he has scratched my daughter during play time. He does NOT do well with my Maltese. I think its all youth, but he has not picked up on my small dogs cues and continuously lunges and goes after him. Tanner is reactive to other dogs

Dodger

American Pit Bull Terrier Rottweiler

Male, Adult

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Dodger 4 years ago when he was a one year old pup in the shelter. He has been around our 4 older children and does great but he is not as comfortable with toddlers and babies. He was generally okay around other dogs if they’re not too hyper, and he is very protective of his people. He likes to laze around most days and sit by his people’s feet. But if engaged he’s also quite playful. He’s sweet and used to living on an acre of land but now we have moved to an apartment in the city and he needs more space. We would love to see him go to a loving home where they can give him a steady environment and space to move around.

Story
SWEET. QUIET. WIGGLE-BUTT EXTRAORDINAIRE! Bethany was found as a stray and brought into the county shelter. Thought to be used for breeding and then discarded, she found herself on the euthanasia list due to having masses. We brought her into the rescue because we knew she deserved to have a chance at her best life yet! Since coming to us, Bethany has had multiple mast cell tumors removed (and continues to be monitored for regrowth) along with an entropion repair and repair of her umbilical hernia. While healing, Bethany has been enjoying the love and care of her foster family, but now she's ready to find her perfect forever family. Bethany gets along well with dogs similar to her size or bigger and tends to like calm ones best. She is a quiet girl who settles in well for a long cuddle-session on the couch or a rest in her crate. She would enjoy a quieter home with a simple routine and doesn’t need much, if any, yard at all. Our sweet girl is VERY food-motivated and will dance for her dinner as you prepare it! Bethany is crate- and house-trained, has impeccable leash manners and loves to play with stuffed toys. She often carries a stuffy everywhere she goes :). Bethany’s adoption fee includes her completed veterinary exams, vaccines, spay and microchip. Apply below to meet her, and you'll quickly experience the essence of pure love and joy! https://lovethemallrescue.org/adopt

Clara

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Scottsdale, AZ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Clara was found as an injured stray at only 4-months old. Her tail was broken, her back legs were weak and she was left incontinent–plus she was incredibly malnourished. She was taken to the county shelter and set to be euthanized due to her medical issues and injuries likely caused by severe trauma she had endured. We knew we had to save this precious little girl, get her whatever medical care she needed and give her the opportunity to heal and experience a real life of love. With intense physical therapy and a dedicated, loving foster, Clara has shown herself to be a brave girl who is as loving as she is resilient! Her back legs have been regaining strength, while she has put on much-needed weight. Her entire body wiggles back and forth when she sees her people, and she absolutely loves to cuddle and play. Clara is crate-trained, walks well on a leash and does well with people and children of all ages. She knows to go potty outside but has some leakage due to partial incontinence that is best managed with diapers. Clara enjoys walks, playing with toys, chasing birds and cats and cuddles with her favorite people. She can be vocal if left all alone at home but a doggy friend to keep her company makes all the difference to her! Ultimately, what Clara really hopes to find is a family that will shower her with love, spoil her with toys and let her romp + roll in the grass, forever cherished + adored. Clara knows that her sweet disposition and charming underbite more than make up for the extra TLC our special girl will need from her forever family! Clara’s adoption fee includes completed veterinary exams, vaccines, microchip and spay. Apply to meet this sweet soul, and we promise she'll have you wrapped around her finger in no time!

Story
Solomon is a 3.5-year-old, 60-pound pit bull mix who's looking for his forever family! This boy is wonderfully social – he loves other dogs and adores people (though he appreciates gentle introductions at his own pace). With his affectionate, cuddly nature and playful spirit, Solomon is the perfect blend of sweet and silly, with a heart as big as his adorable blockhead. Solomon is a true gentleman who's had professional training, so he knows his manners and basic commands! With moderate energy levels, he's happy to join you for outdoor adventures and walks, but he's also content being your TV watching companion (yes, he really does watch TV!). This smart cookie has a playful spirit that'll keep you laughing with his silly antics. He absolutely adores other dogs and would love to have four-legged siblings, and while he loves people too, he just needs those first hellos to happen at his own pace – once he warms up, you've got a friend for life! Solomon is a true survivor who was saved from the county's euthanasia list due to having Valley Fever (don't worry - it's not contagious to people or other pets!), which is easily managed with daily medications. This resilient boy doesn't let anything slow down his zest for life, and he's ready to show his new family just how much love he has to give. Ready to meet your new best friend? Solomon is waiting to fill your home with love, laughter, and the occasional happy wiggle dance! Apply here: https://lovethemallrescue.org/adopt
