Diamond-$99

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 2 mos

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Diamond is a 3 year old pit bull who was sadly surrendered when her owner’s landlord would not allow her breed. Her former owner describes her as well-mannered, calm, loving, affectionate, and eager to please — and she truly lives up to that. Diamond is incredibly friendly with people and has a way of forming a special bond with her person, while still happily soaking up attention from anyone willing to give it. In the home, Diamond is house trained and knows how to settle nicely. She has done well meeting both toddlers and older kids, though she has not lived with children full time. She has also lived with cats; while she can coexist with them, she may be a bit pushy if she’s trying to get attention from her owner. She thrives on human connection and loves being close to her people. When it comes to other dogs, Diamond can be selective about her friends, so we will do meet-and-greets to make sure it’s the right match. With the right introductions and environment, she is a loyal and devoted companion who is ready to be someone’s very best girl once again. Ready to Adopt?

JOHNNY

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Johnny was very happy that some kind human let TJO know that he needed help, and he was very thankful that the animal control officers had a nice warm vehicle for him to ride in on the way to safety. Once he had a comfy bed, a full belly, and some butt scratches he was ready to show everyone how goofy and loveable he can be. OTHER PETS: Johnny was disinterested in similarly sized dogs and has a high prey drive so he would not be a good fit to live with cats or small dogs. He would prefer to be an only dog but would be open to meeting a relaxed dog with a similar `live and let live` attitude. [Case by Case (No Cats or Small Dogs!)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Johnny currently does not walk very well on a leash; his best fit would be with someone with experience with positive reinforcement (or willingness to learn) to teach new skills, and a guardian who is strong enough to keep him safe. [Some Experience] KIDS: Johnny is a social, outgoing dog who enjoys interacting with humans and playing with toys. He has not engaged in resource-guarding while at TJO, and would likely get along with most humans. While Johnny is friendly, he may not be a good match for small humans who might get knocked over by his enthusiastic wiggles. Any minors who would be living with him should meet Johnny prior to adoption. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Johnny will need a good blend of exercise and playtime combined with mental enrichment such as puzzle toys and games to fully meet his needs. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Johnny bond with his new owner while learning new skills and fun tricks. Johnny is a strong puller while walking on the leash and will need support and positive reinforcement to help him learn loose leash skills. [Moderate]February 10, 2026, 3:21 pm

GERDIE

Pit Bull Terrier Plott Hound

Female, Senior

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Gerdie is a super sweet older girl who still has a good amount of spunk! She absolutely loves to play, though she's still working on bringing toys back to continue the game of fetch. Her favorites so far seem to be squeaky toys and balls, though she's open to new options.OTHER PETS: Gerdie was relaxed when meeting another dog, but she didn't show a lot of interest in playing. She would likely do best with another relaxed dog that can understand when to let her have her own space in the home. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Gerdie is prone to pulling on the leash when she's excited, and as a bigger dog will do best with someone that can be capable of handling her, as well as experience with positive reinforcement or the willingness to learn. [First Dog]KIDS: Gerdie has been tolerant of handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding during her time at TJO, but she is an older lady and doesn't always appreciate feeling restrained or confined. She would do best with kids that are old enough to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Gerdie appreciates a good long nap on the couch as much as anybody, she loves going on walks and playing with a variety of toys. She would be a great walking buddy for trips around the block, and will thrive with various types of mental enrichment to fully meet her needs. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: While Gerdie currently needs to work on losing a few pounds, she is otherwise currently in good health. As an older dog, she will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure that she continues to age gracefully into her golden years and remains comfortable. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: While Gerdie already seems to know a few tricks, positive reinforcement training will help Gerdie to brush up on her basic cues & skills, as well as help her bond with her new owner. [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]February 11, 2026, 11:02 am

NEIL

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

OTHER PETS: Neil was eager to greet other dogs and was comfortable going off and doing his own thing as well. Though he didn't seem interested in playing, he would likely do well with another social dog in the home that will allow him to have his own space when he wants/needs it. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Neil is currently very grabby with hands, and will likely need a specific behavior management plan using positive reinforcement and counterconditioning, and not punishment. He has not shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO, but he's fixated on hands. He would do best with someone that has experience and current knowledge of positive reinforcement training, but could do well with someone that has owned dogs before and is willing to learn as well. [Experienced]KIDS: Because of how mouthy he can be, Neil would do best with older kids that can understand how to interact with him and when to let him have his own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Neil doesn't exhibit a high energy level here at TJO, this could change in a home environment as he grows more comfortable. He would likely do best with various forms of mental enrichment to keep his body calm and his mind engaged. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: Neil arrived at TJO severely underweight, and is currently still working on reaching his ideal weight with a strict re-feeding diet. Otherwise, he seems to be in good health currently and will likely do well with routine vet appointments down the line. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Neil has a habit of trying to grab people's hands with his mouth. He will likely need a specific management plan based on positive reinforcement as he continues to adjust to his environment and figures out how to politely interact with people. As he continues on his positive training journey, he will work best with someone that can be dedicated to helping him understand better ways to seek interaction, and can work with and understand positive reinforcement training methods. [Intense]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]February 12, 2026, 1:07 pm

OLIVES

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Story

OTHER PETS: Olives was excited to meet other dogs and was definitely interested in playing. Her level of energy may be a bit much for some dogs, though, so she would likely do best with a social dog that can match her exuberance in play. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Olive is a dog that is rarely caught sitting still, and will do best with someone that has experience in managing dogs with a high energy level through enrichment and positive reinforcement. [Some Experience]KIDS: Olives has a lot of energy and can be jumpy in her excitement to greet new friends. She would do best in a home with older kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Olives is a lot of dog with a lot of energy! In a home environment, she would do best with both routine walks and various forms of mental enrichment--such as games and puzzles--to keep her mind and body busy. Mental enrichment especially will help her to learn how to be calm and settle on her own, as well as introduce other ways to expend her energy. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Olives is beginning her positive reinforcement journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts to a new home and environment. Positive reinforcement will help Olives not only learn her basic cues, skills, and some fun tricks, but will also help her bond with her new guardian. [Moderate]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]February 18, 2026, 4:36 pm
