Story

Hi! I'm Patty the pocket pittie! I am about 2 years old and weigh around 63 lbs (but I can still fit in your lap I promise! )I love to spend my days napping; nothing beats a good nap. I have two small foster brothers that are being nice and letting me share their home. However, I'd love a home where I'm the center of attention, I want all the pets for just me! I must insist I find a new  home that is not multi-leveled and won't require me to go up or down many steps. My back legs aren't what they used to be.    Seriously though, if you need a lady in your life who will wiggle her butt at you, snort from excitement and even occasionally happy dance, let's meet!  The adoption fee of $150 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family.

Story

Meet Lydia. Lydia is about 9 months old and is a beautiful grey pittie mix girl weighing around 30 lbs. Lydia has come such a long way since being found as a stray! She loves loves anyone she meets she just craves attention! She is good on the leash and with other dogs. She is a puppy and loves to play and chew on things. An active family with older children would be the best fit for her as she is still very much a mouthy pup. She would love other dogs to play with. She probably will do best in a cat free home as she can be overly focused on them. She knows sit and a few basic commands and is very treat motivated so she will learn quickly. She is really a love. Note that we have a generous sponsor who will sponsor half of Lydia's adoption fee of $400, so the fee is $200 to the adoptive family. It will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family.

Mookie keeps her kennel clean and enjoys playing with squeaky plush toys and snuggling in bed. She thinks she's a lap dog too, and it's hard to tell that little face no!

Story

Queenie is a gorgeous pit mix who is just a giant baby in disguise. She is full of energy and loves to play! She has no knowledge of personal space and just wants to be on top of you and in your face. Queenie would do best in a home without other dogs or cats. She's done well with well-mannered kids, but she is a jumper and may knock them over. She loves to greet you with her sweet face and wagging tail. She would make an excellent companion and cuddle buddy! She is easily spooked by strange objects (ex. wheelbarrows, plastic bags), shadows, and some strangers/men. She has been able to meet many guys with slow introductions and patience. Please help us get Queenie out of the shelter!

Dudley

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 7 yrs 3 mos

Size

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

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sweet Dudley originally was adopted from us as a puppy. Now, at almost seven years old, he's back with us due to no fault of his own. He was running around in a nearby county in rough condition. We got some weight back on him and his fur is starting to grow back as well. Despite this period of uncertainty, he's a goofy guy who seems to enjoy the company of humans and other dogs. He loves treats and hanging outside, running the fences with his neighbors. He knows sit and paw, and his favorite thing is butt rubs. Dudley does have hip dysplasia and luxating patellas, likely due to the period of his life with a lack of proper care. He is on anti-inflammatory pain meds to help with the associated discomfort. We would love to get this stocky ol' pittie mix into a home to enjoy the rest of his senior years!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story

Meet Dynamic! Dynamic is a 2 year old Pittie that was found in pretty rough shape. She was very thin, had patches of fur missing throughout her back, and was completely infested in fleas. Poor girl needed some TLC and a little elbow grease and is on the right path of recovery! Dynamic is very sweet and gentle. She has done phenomenal with the dogs and cats she has met from large to small. She has a pretty laid back personality and has great manners. She will happily sit on command and give paw for a biscuit or two. Her little ears perk up at toys and she'll nudge you for more back scratches. Although we know Dynamic is beautiful inside and out, she hopes our JTAC visitors look past her bald patches and love her for true personality instead. Her adoption fee is $230, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current heartworm/flea prevention, registered microchip, and spay.

She's just a spunky pittie-mix with a big heart who would love for someone to give her a chance. If you're looking to a be one dog home, please consider giving Madison a chance. Our adoption process is usually quick, but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require that the dogs be present at the meeting to make sure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption. If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and we will gladly consider your family for another dog.

Story

Chucho is ready to find her forever home! Introducing Chucho, a dynamic 2-year-old pitbull mix whose passion for treats and love for learning set him apart. With boundless energy and an eagerness to please, Chucho is ready to become your faithful companion and devoted student. Chucho's enthusiasm for treats is second to none - he's a true connoisseur of delicious rewards! This trait makes training a breeze, as he's not just a quick learner, but a determined one. Teaching him new tricks and commands is an adventure that he embraces wholeheartedly, showcasing his intelligence and love for mental stimulation. While Chucho's learning abilities shine, he does have some leash reactivity and can become overstimulated in certain situations. However, his enthusiasm for learning means he's open to training that can help him manage these reactions. With consistent guidance and patience, Chucho's leash manners can greatly improve, making walks and outdoor adventures more enjoyable for both of you. His perfect forever home would be one with at least one active human who likes to spend quality time working/playing with Chucho, and ideally another dog sibling for company and partner-in-crime-time. Socializing is important for Chucho, so a forever home that's willing to put him in daycare once or twice a week or have regular playtime with other dogs will make him a super happy boy. He does well with structure and positive reinforcement and definitely picks up on his human's vibes. He's got a big heart and an adventurous spirit just waiting to be nurtured in the right forever home. Are you ready to make Chucho part of your family?
