Story
Meet luna! She is a sweet girl 2 year old girl that is 60 lbs and who has had it rough. When she was surrendered to us, she just gave birth but we were told her puppies died. She went to another home after that and now the family can no longer keep her at no fault of her own,her parents are seperating and cant care for her anymore. She is a beautiful friendly loving girl, thats looking for her forever mommy and daddy!She would do best in a home with no other dogs or someone who has the ability and knowlegde to work with her. We suggest respectable children to be 13+,(due to her breed) but she has no aggression towards kids. I need someone who understands my breed and be living some where my breed is welcomed.  She has allergies to chicken and needs a pro purina plan salmon food(wet/dry). ##1671172##

Introducing Augustus or Gus as his friends call him! This sweet little, short stack came to us from our friends at Boston Animal Care and Control after being found as a stray. Huge thank you to first time PittieLove foster Emily and family for showing this little guy what life should be like! What he lacks in size this sweet boy more than makes up for in personality. He is a massive love bug, often choosing cuddling on the couch ( resembling a teddy bear?)with his people or a good snooze on top of his favorite floor vent over outdoor activities. Don’t be fooled though, Gus does love a good trot after his people and a roll around the back yard. One of his favorite pastimes is following his humans around the house to be sure nothing fun will happen without him. Gus rides politely in the car and loves to plant his little body squarely in an available lap for the best vantage point. He has been very polite and respectful with his two-legged legged toddler sibling and would thrive in a home with another mellow four legged sibling. If your family is looking to let an easy going low rider wiggle his way into your hearts, apply soon!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. PittieLove Rescue, Inc. a 501c3 orgainization is an all-volunteer, foster home based rescue. Adoption Fee: $450 Our information is current if you are interested please fill out an adoption form here http://www.pittieloverescue.org/adoption-application It is the easiest way to start the communication and adoption process. Meet Maggie! This 2-year old house panther came to us from our friends at a local animal shelter after being found as a stray. We’re shaking our heads as to how this playful and snuggly midnight princess didn’t have a home. Maggie can be a little shy at first, but is a friendly and active youngster who loves all dog toys, but reallllly loves squeaky toys (though she destroys them with gusto!). This shady lady, with the BEST espresso coat, wags and wiggles when she meets new people, but isn’t a fan of loud city noises. One of her favorite pastimes is snuggling on the couch, or in bed…she just wants to be close to her human all the time and basically sits on top of her foster mom at any opportunity.   Maggie loves the water and will submerge her whole body into it (but hasn’t actually swam). She’s great in the car and either looks out the window or lays down in the backseat. She’s a loving and velvety raven pooch who just needs a home to call her own! Maggie is basically a big puppy and is working on some basic manners like jumping and counter surfer. But is making strides in a short time and would just need a forever family who will continue to work on the basics. She is currently in a foster home in Boston and we have discovered the city has stressed her out, so she’s looking for a quiet place to settle. And while she did great on her dog tests, she has gotten a bit more stressed out by some dogs in the city. Whether that’s due to the stress of city living or is just who she is remains to be seen. Because of this, were looking to place her as an only dog, but she has so much love to give, she’s all you need! Due to her size and a lack of history, older kids would be best for this smoky gal.

Meet Miss Wednesday. Wednesday, the gorgeous black haired beauty, came to us from our friends at Boston Animal Care and Control after being found as a stray. New PittieLove foster mom Karyn swooped right in to save this girl and she has been living the good life since! Unlike her namesake, sweet Wednesday is a happy go lucky, energetic pup who absolutely adores time with her people. She loves long walkies but is equally happy to snuggle up to you on the couch, roll and give you her soft little pink belly. When she’s really excited, Wednesday does the cutest gentle pibble nibbles to show you just how happy she is. This silly girl's signature move is circling the people she really likes and then leaning her entire body weight into their legs so they know how much she’s into them . Wednesday is looking for an active family who will enjoy outdoor adventures as much as she does. Snuggle time is also a must for Wednesday's dream family-Are you looking for the softest, goofiest cuddle buddy to share your home with?

Adoption Fee: $450 Our information is current if you are interested please fill out an adoption form here http://www.pittieloverescue.org/adoption-application It is the easiest way to start the communication and adoption process.   Meet Jojo! This lil’ tater wedge came to us from our friends at local animal control after he was found with 6 other dogs in a UHaul back in January. PittieLove Rescue placed 2 other dogs from this situation last winter (Banana and Eddie), but this poor guy has been in a kennel for the better part of this year waiting for his chance. Jojo is a compact 50-lbs and looks like a baby russet potato. He has just the right amount of seasoning…a little spice kickin’ with his sweet personality.   Jojo is outgoing and needy all at the same time! He is a pro at making sure he maintains physical contact by touching or leaning into his human throughout the day and loves to be included in E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.! This plus-size and flavorful French Fry loves running on a long line in open spaces, dismantling stuffy toys with gusto, lick mats and enrichment toys, going on sniffaris, and every treat he’s ever been offered, ever.   Jojo is an active and friendly and super happy guy who gets excited anytime any person comes through the door. And when Jojo gets excited, he snorts like a piglet. Oh, and did we mention he loves to cuddle? When he settles, Jojo has a cute snore to let you know just how relaxed he’s actually feeling. He reminds us of Scrappy Doo with those spectacular ears and is a perfect pint-sized pup…a really happy and waggy boy who lives his life to love people. Jojo settles nicely while his foster parents WFH, laying on his dog bed or in his crate or on the couch chillin’ like Bob Dylan. But if they’re on the move, he follows them wherever they go to make sure he doesn’t miss out on anything important. He loves, loves, loves to sniff around, and loves it when his foster family hides treats so he can sniff them out.   We’re unsure that Jojo has ever lived in a home in the traditional sense, but he sure is figuring it out fast! He gets scared by loud sounds like smoke detector beeping or sirens outside and will shake and whine. He alternates his days between sleeping and being alert and hasn’t experienced a lot of middle ground, but we think that will come with settling more and more into family life. We think Jojo’s perfect home would have a little space to run around and a family that will take time to patiently teach him all that life has to offer as he continues to acclimate to being part of a family. Jojo is well on his way to learning what a real home feels like with his wonderful foster family, but he will need even more time and space to really decompress surrounded by love and safety. Jojo really likes other dogs, but can get super excited around canine friends and can come on a bit strong for most other pups, something that would require management in a home. And he has definitely said no thanks to kitties and other small critters. Because of this, we feel Jojo would thrive as the only pet in a situation where he could relax and enjoy being the center of attention, and scheduling playdates with equally matched dogs. Due to his age and lack of history, older kids would be best for this perfect baked potato.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.www.pittieloverescue.org Please consider a donation so that we may continue the important work we do.
