American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Senior
Baton Rouge, LA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Camille is a 9 year old senior pit bull. She has been with my family since she was a puppy and unfortunately when my dad passed away, I was the only one able to take her. With my busy schedule and running my business on the side, I don’t have the ability to give her the constant companionship she needs, as she has severe separation anxiety. She is a sweet girl who loves to snuggle and take naps but she would need someone who is retired or works from home.

Story
38 lbs, fully vaccinated, on prevention, spayed, and microchipped. Mabel loves to play with both my big and little dog, and knows basic commands. She knows sit and lay down and is very treat motivated for training! She loves car rides, walks or runs, greeting people with lots of licks, and is a gentle jumper. She has accidents in the house every now and then, but does well if being walked regularly. Will come with rabies tag, medical records, whatever remaining puppy food I have, a food storage bin, a 4 ft kennel, a few toys, 2 collars and leashes, a gentle lead, slow feeder, and water bowl.

Story
This is Nugget! Heis 17 months old weve been together since I started fostering him in September. I ended up adopting him in December. He is so sweet and snuggly. And a total blanket hog. He’s been so great for me renting property right now that doesn’t have a fenced off area, we go on walks daily, but I am going back to school on the fall and I’m worried about getting him the exercise, time, attention and care that he really does deserve. I need to continue on with his training probably professionally, but also don’t really have the money to do that at the moment which is unfair to him. If anyone you know or you yourself have had experience with American terrier pit bull mixes and are looking for a walk buddy and preferably has a backyardlet’s connect. I just love him and want the best for him.

Story
Stella is a playful, adventurous girl with a heart full of love and a spirit that’s always ready for fun. Whether she’s exploring the backyard, heading out for a walk, or tossing around her favorite stuffed toy, Stella brings joy and energy wherever she goes.She’s potty trained and already knows the “sit” command—such a smart girl! While she enjoys her walks, she’s still working on her leash manners. She doesn’t pull excessively, but she can get a little excited and tug when something catches her interest. With a bit of consistency and positive reinforcement, she’ll continue to blossom.At home, Stella is wonderfully well-behaved. She happily sleeps on her own bed and doesn’t need to be crated. She’s never destructive with furniture and is content relaxing in her own gated area during the day. Most mornings and early afternoons you’ll find her snoozing peacefully, saving up her energy for her favorite time of day—afternoon outdoor lounging! She absolutely loves being outside and soaking it all in.Stella can be a tiny bit stubborn when it’s time to come back inside, especially if she’s not quite finished enjoying the fresh air—but offer her a treat, and she’s happy to cooperate. She would thrive in a home that can match her playful personality, continue her training, and give her plenty of opportunities to explore and relax in the sunshine. If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited companion who will keep you smiling, Stella might just be your perfect match!Stella is currently in foster care outside of the shelter. If you are interested in learning more or meeting Stella, please complete an adoption survey using the link below (copy and paste link):https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq22UXKlJm6Cm6O5Vtr7W8dgHMpje0DGfrI7ReY8bHdhD8rA/viewformAll dogs and cats will be spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, preventative care, and microchipped.

Story
Zuko is a people-loving big boy who’s looking for an active family to call his own. He’s about 3 years old and weighs about 91 pounds.After being found stray on the streets of New Orleans, Zuko had the good fortune of landing in a wonderful foster home where he has learned manners and the joy of being in a home. Zuko’s foster mom says “he loves people, loves to play with tennis balls, and he LOVES ice as a treat! He is very food motivated and smart, so he is quick to pick up tricks and commands. He has graduated training classes and has mastered Sit, Wait, Leave it (ignore), Walk forward, Turn, and Heel.” While well mannered and trainable Zuko is VERY excitable and needs someone with large breed knowledge and the ability to continue his training. Zuko is a big STRONG guy and would probably do best as an only pet in the home. He is kennel trained, neutered, up to date on all his vetting and preventives, and ready for his forever family to bring him home. If you have the time and the patience to continue Zuko’s training and would like to give him a forever home please fill out an application.Zuko is currently in foster care outside of the shelter.

Buzz is a male Boxer/Bull Terrier who was born about 9/2011. He is up to date on shots and neutered. Buzz is an alpha male and doesn't do well with another alpha male, but is good with female dogs and submissive males. He is good with kids. Buzz showed up in the parking lot of a salon one day, he thought he needed a haircut, but the salon staff thought he could do without a cut and dry so instead called our rescue to come help with this cute pup. Can you be the home for Buzz where he can get regular baths and blow dry so he doesn't have to wander the streets and find a salon on his own.
