Story
Chelsea is the sweetest little sausage-shaped girl with a heart as big as her love for her people. This adorable pit bull and corgi mix has short, stubby legs that give her the cutest, most unique look – and her shiny brown coat with darker brown highlights on her muzzle just adds to her charm! Found as a stray in southern Illinois and once placed on the euthanasia list, Chelsea's future was looking uncertain. But when the rescue saw her little legs and big personality, they knew they had to step in and find her the loving home she deserves. Although Chelsea once had a family, they abandoned her when she showed up as a stray, leaving her heartbroken. But once you meet her, you’ll quickly see how deeply she bonds with her people. Chelsea is a sensitive girl who attaches quickly and loves nothing more than to be by your side, offering companionship and affection. She may be a little shy at first, vocalizing her concerns while her tail wags enthusiastically, but once she knows you’re her person, she’s yours forever. Chelsea gets along well with other dogs, though she prefers calm introductions to new furry friends. She’s also good with the resident cat, keeping a respectful distance and curiously observing. While Chelsea hasn’t been around children on a regular basis, their unpredictable movements can make her uneasy, so she’d do best in a home with no young children or where kids' visits are limited. This sweet girl enjoys a routine that starts with a little meditation in the morning (aka her quiet time), followed by a long walk to explore the neighborhood. She’s the queen of the block and loves to be out and about. When she’s feeling playful, Chelsea has bursts of energy that lead to zoomies, and she’ll even army crawl to get your attention! She’s a people pleaser at heart and always aims to make you smile, even crawling to you with a grin if she thinks she’s in trouble or senses you’re upset. Chelsea is also an angel in her crate, which she uses as her safe space when new people come around. Chelsea is a true companion who will change her routine to match yours and thrive on the love and attention she receives. If you’re looking for a sensitive, affectionate, and loyal friend who will be your constant shadow, Chelsea is the perfect fit. Sweet. Sensitive. People-pleaser – Chelsea is ready to be your best friend and companion for life. Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?

Story
Dorothea came to us as an owner request to euthanize with 12 other dogs. While we do not know exactly what happened in her past life, she’s blossomed into a pup who enjoys life playing with toys, the resident dogs in her foster home, and the couch for snuggles of all kinds. Thea is a sweet energetic brown and white puppy and is around 1.5 years old. She’s tall and lean with big adorable ears. Dorothea will make a great addition to any family with another dog. She thrives with other confident, non territorial, dog friendly dogs. The slower you move with her the faster you will see her blossom into trusting her new surroundings. Dorothea trusts kids easily as they’re close to her level. She likes them to be playmates and need positive reinforced guidance on how to be a good kid playmate. Dorothea would thrive best in a home with another dog friend to help build trust and manners with her new family. She is incredibly submissive and playful with dogs ranging in ages from 1.5-9 years old. Dorothea loves having a toddler around for face level kisses and all the snacks. She’s continuing to work on her manners. She has a high energy level and loves outside- rain, sun, or snow. She lives to: chase her foster siblings in the yard, for toys, and tug. A family that likes to be outside, and/or has a quiet fenced in yard is a must for her. She also needs a family that has a consistent dependable schedule as she thrives in reliable schedules. Dorothea loves her crate and is doing great with potty training. She is a playful silly goose who just wants to be friends with all the dogs and humans she meets. What else could you ask for?

Story
Ellis is a senior, gentle giant with black and white markings. Ellis was an owner surrender due to no fault of his own. Unfortunately, his parents split up and could no longer care for this sweet boy. He came back to PFP and has been getting all the walks, snuggles and “good boys” he deserves! Ellis has soooo many reasons you should scoop him up right now! He is very gentle and loves the attention from kiddos. Ellis likes to lay with his head on the kids' lap and nap. However, Ellis would be best in a house with kids 7+ due to his large size, and his slight clumsiness, and because he sometimes forgets how big he is. Ellis also would do well with other dogs. He does not react to dogs he sees on walks, he just keeps on trottin’ happily! He’d enjoy another playful dog buddy who also likes to snuggle after walks and play time. Despite his age, he has a lot of pep in his step. He loves spending time outside and enjoys long walks. He will have spurts of energy and enjoys playing tug o’ war and low intensity play with crinkly toys. He doesn’t play fetch, he’d rather watch you throw and retrieve the ball. He’s on the lower end of energy, so as long as the family is willing to walk, Ellis would be more than happy to snooze afterwards and snuggle on the couch. He loves going for family walks and extremely quiet inside and outside of the house. He is a true angel and gentle giant! He deserves the best home where he is able to live out his golden years. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart & big boy who is calm and has a great temperament, Ellis is your guy. As if you needed more reasons, here's Ellis' current resume of skills: -crate trained -knows "sit" -knows "lay down" -knows "paw" -gentle when taking treats -potty trained -gives great kisses and cuddles -references describe him as "Gentle, intelligent, and loyal" Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?

Story
If you don't see a dog currently with Players for Pits that interests you, please consider fostering. There are over 300 amazing dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control (the shelter most our adoptable dogs come from) and we can match you with a good fit. The rescue covers the cost of all vetting and supplies needed for fostering and we will connect you with a support system of team members/volunteers from our rescue so you are not alone in the process. Fostering saves lives! When you decide to foster, you are temporarily opening your home up to a dog in need who may otherwise have been euthanized. We have many teirs of fosters. The first is "revolving fosters" meaning they take on one or two dogs at a time and when that dog or dog(s) get adopted, they get ready for a new foster to keep to cycle of saving lives going! Another large part of our rescue is Vacation Fosters who do short term fostering. To foster for us, we currently require you be within an hour of Roselle, Illinois where our main vet is located. But if you live out of state or too far, there will be a rescue local to you that could use your help! To register to foster with us, please start by doing a "Foster Sign Up" linked below. This will give us a brief summary of who you are without wasting your time in case you are too far or may be a better fit for another rescue. To sign up, visit https://www.playersforpits.com/foster or contact info@playersforpits.com for more information.

Story
Meet Harper, the stunning 6-month-old pit bull mix with a heart as beautiful as her looks! Harper has a gorgeous brown coat with a patch of white on her chest and those adorable white paws that will melt your heart. She was pulled from the streets as a stray, but now she's living the good life, and it's clear to see she's loving every moment of it! She’s a happy-go-lucky girl who adores playing with her toys, hopping around like a bunny, and napping in her cozy bed. Harper is very dog-friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. While we don’t have a cat, we think she’d do just fine with one, and although we don’t have kids, Harper is gentle and eager to learn, so we believe she'd be great with kids too! With her medium energy level, Harper loves playing, but she's just as content to snuggle up and relax. She’s currently building confidence on walks and working on her training — she knows “sit,” “stay,” and “release” and is making progress with “lay down” and “shake.” She’s also crate trained, she doesn't love it, but she does just fine! Harper would be the perfect addition to any family. She aims to please, loves to cuddle, and enjoys playing on her own, too. She’s always ready for an adventure and loves everyone she meets. If you're looking for a sweet, silly, and playful companion who will brighten your days with her love and joy, Harper is ready to find her forever home with you! Come meet her and see what a special girl she is! Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?
