Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hank is a fun, sweet, loving, and playful two-year-old, 55-pound male pit bull terrier-mix with hazel eyes looking for a loving guardian. Hank’s human recently passed away and he’s looking for a new family. He loves going for walks, jogs, playing ball, and loves to learn! He’s great on leashed walks and is not reactive at all, and he’s great in the car! He knows the commands sit and paw and is ready for more training! He is housebroken, crate-trained and well behaved in the home. While he usually gets along with dogs outside the home, he’s best as the only dog in the home because he can get jealous, and due to his prey drive, no cats. Hank is healthy, neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on rabies, distemper, leptospirosis and bordetella vaccines, heartworm and lyme-tested negative, microchipped, and de-wormed. He eats a special prescription diet due to allergies. His adoption fee of $150 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits Rescue. To meet and possibly adopt Hank, fill out the application at https://friendsofpetraits.com/dog-adoption-application/ Once you’ve completed the application, follow up at friendsofpetraits@gmail.com to meet him. He is being fostered in Chicago.

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

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Kallan Rua is being fostered in TN. she is so smart she is now potty trained! Vision Update: 1/16/26 Originally we thought she just had ulcers and they were healed with some vision loss...we have since found that she has no vision in her left eye and has developed primary glaucoma... she is currently being treated with 2x daily eye drops which are very affordable and tolerating it very well. She is expected to eventually need that eye removed if she no longer responds to the eye drops in the future. The glaucoma is hereditary and could move to the right eye as well. She is currently normal and happy and still sees shadows in her right eye. Her weight is now 8.7 lbs. Kallan Rua ( cowl-lawn roo_ah) lives up to her Irish name as a brave warrior and a strong ginger haired girl!!! At 8.5 weeks she has the biggest personality, she is playful and LOVES her toys, she is absolutely adorable and so smart. She loves praise. She is 10000% a lap puppy and was bottle fed so all she wants is to cuddle and be held and kissed. She is fantastic with the foster mom's two dogs ( although she is too young to really play and interact yet) and shows only gentle interest in cats. She has yet to meet a person she has not loved or a lap she does not want to be in. Kallen is a typical puppy, curious about everything, playful, and absolutely full of mischief. She doesn't walk...she leaps from place to place exploding with joy... and every adventure is better than the next as far as she is concerned. She has no fear and shows no issues with her limited vision. She does not run into anything and can see well enough to navigate her world perfectly. Foster home is currently crate training and working on basic commands. She is so smart and only wants to please!!! BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
