Story

Hi! My name is Raspberry Beret, and I'm a 3 year old, happy-go-lucky Pitbull mix. My foster Mom describes me as a sweet girl who is eager to please and absolutely loves to PLAY! I recently graduated from the Missouri Puppies for Parole program, where I received several months of training. I know all my basic commands, along with a few tricks – I stole the show at graduation! I've been taught to sit and wait politely for my food and treats, and I take them very gently. Learning new things is one of my favorite activities, especially since it makes my foster mom smile. I'm also very well-behaved in my crate and never have accidents in the house. I adore people, but sometimes my energy and playfulness can be a bit much for young children. When it comes to other dogs, I'm quite selective. I might get along with a submissive male dog like I do in my foster home, but otherwise, I prefer to have all your attention for myself. With my affectionate nature, you'll find I have enough love to share for ten dogs – so you won't need anyone else! I can be vocal at times, making me less suited for apartment living, but my foster mom insists I'm a very good girl otherwise. I love playing with toys and chewing on bones (always appropriate items), but my real passion is running through the backyard and going on long walks. As a young and energetic lady, I need a fenced-in back yard in my forever home, or a very active person who enjoys regular walks or hikes. Did I mention that I love to play? But what I love most is SNUGGLING – once we've gotten to know each other of course! My greatest wish is to become a cherished member of a family that will include me in their daily activities. If you enjoy snuggling after going on new adventures together, fill out an application and my foster Mom will contact you so we can meet! More about Raspberry Beret Dog Selective, Good with Adults, Requires a 6-ft Fenced Yard, Crate-trained, House-trained If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Raspberry Beret’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip. We are a 100% foster-based rescue and all of our dogs live in approved foster homes.

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

St Louis, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

While Lonzo's ears can't decide how to position themselves, don’t let them fool you. Lonzo is very decisive- and he's decided he's ready for his forever family. At only 2 years old, Lonzo has been through a lot of changes in his life. Originally found as a stray, he landed himself at the city animal control before making his way to us. He then spent some time in prison (his crime was being too cute), where he competed the Puppies 4 Parole program, which helped him gain confidence and learn lots of cool tricks. Now settled into his foster home, we've learned what a wonderful dog Lonzo is. He lives with a variety of dogs, who he is fantastic with. His foster mom is able to bring in any new dog into the home and knows that Lonzo will welcome them with open arms. Lonzo does well with kids, but would be best suited for older children/teens. Lonzo is housetrained, crate trained and is an easy going guy. In Lonzo's dream home, he would have a yard with a 5-6 foot fence in a quiet neighborhood- Lonzo's biggest pet peeve is people mowing the lawn (we all have our quirks!) We think he'd like to have a dog friend or two, but he would be fine without as well. If he's allowed to sleep in bed, that's even better, as Lonzo loves to cuddle with his people. If you think you'd like to meet this amazing guy, apply today! If you are interested, complete the Adoption Application on our website at www.NeedyPaws.org and we will contact you. Adopters must live within an hour’s drive of St. Louis, MO. Lonzo’s adoption fee is $295.00, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, heartworm testing and preventative, spay/neuter and microchip.
