Henry is an adult male Pit Bull, born on May 3, 2021, and weighing 40 pounds. With a big heart and a love for adventure, Henry is sure to capture the affection of those who take the time to understand his unique personality. Despite his strong and confident exterior, Henry requires patience and experience to fully appreciate his loving nature. Henry's journey to becoming a friendly and well-behaved companion hasn't been without its challenges. Due to a lack of socialization during his formative years, Henry sometimes struggles with social cues, which can lead to misunderstandings in social settings. Fortunately, with dedicated training and care, Henry has made significant progress and thrives under the guidance of an experienced owner. What to Expect When Adopting a Dog Like Henry Slow and Steady Introductions: Henry is a "three-date dog," meaning he takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Multiple meet-and-greet sessions will help him feel more comfortable and secure. Patience and understanding are key to gaining his trust. Continued Training and Guidance: While Henry excels in obedience commands such as sit, down, place, and boundary control, he needs ongoing training to reinforce his social skills. A pinch collar is recommended once trust is established, helping him maintain focus and control during walks. Adventure-Loving Spirit: Henry loves adventure and is a great companion for pack walks, though he may initially feel uneasy. His ability to walk calmly past other dogs without reacting is a testament to his progress and potential. Understanding Boundaries: Henry is not allowed on furniture to prevent dominance issues. Instead, he enjoys using his designated place as his own cozy sofa. This routine helps reinforce boundaries and ensure a harmonious living environment. Gentle Handling: Henry is sensitive about being grabbed by his collar. Using treats to lure him is a more effective approach, as it prevents him from shutting down and maintains a positive attitude. Breed-Experienced Owner: Henry requires an owner with experience in handling Pit Bulls or similar breeds. Understanding his needs and providing a structured environment will help him continue to thrive and grow into a well-rounded companion. By welcoming Henry into your home, you're inviting a loyal and adventurous spirit into your life. His journey of growth and the bond you'll build together will be rewarding and fulfilling. If you're ready to offer Henry the understanding and guidance he needs, he might just be the perfect match for your family!

Meet Ernie ******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you area not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Ernie, formerly Max, is a neutered, 8 year old male Pittie/Cattle Dog mix, currently weighing around 63lbs. He is in a foster home in Houston, TX, and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is found. Ernie was found by his foster mom running down a busy street in rush hour traffic. She saw him almost get hit and literally took off her heels to run over and get him in the car. It was obvious by the way he jumped right in and his good health, that he was previously owned. Unfortunately, despite being microchipped, the owner didn’t want him back. We have gathered that Ernie is about 8 years old and was initially adopted from a county shelter back 2020. He was clearly loved at one time as he was HW- and never met a stranger. We will never know why his owner never came for him, but Ernie is a true gem of a dog and we can’t wait to see him find his true forever home. This handsome pup is a goofy older gentleman! He is very chill but also gets excited for a walk or play date. He’s done great with every human and animal he’s met, and just wants to be wherever you are. Ernie gets excited when he sees other dogs, wagging his tail and hoping you let him say hi! He’s a gentle play mate, just wanting to be included in the group and will go with the flow. He’s been great with dogs half his size, and lets his foster sibling, a little Aussie, boss him around. The dog sitter has a cat that he hasn’t formally met, but has seen from across the way. He seems interested in the cat, but not in an aggressive way. We think he would be fine with cats that don’t mind him wanting to say hi. Ernie hasn’t been around kids but is extremely gentle. His foster believes he’d enjoy a home with them as long as they are aware he is a bigger boy. Ernie is house broken and does great on a leash. He doesn’t enjoy the crate and will try to escape. Thankfully, he isn’t destructive when left unsupervised. If he knows you’re home while he’s in the crate, he will whine or howl for a few minutes, but calms down with a treat or verbal commands. He is a social guy and really enjoys time with his humans, following you room to room. His favorite spot is right next to you! His foster mom feels Ernie would be a great fit anywhere. He’d do well with kids, with or without other pets in the house, an older couple, or even a first time dog owner. He may be a senior, but Ernie has a lot of love left to give and just wants to be part of his very own pack! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
