MARLEY

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Marley came to TJO quite itchy and nervous, but opened up quickly to staff and soon enjoyed all the butt scratches she could handle. Her favorite toy is tennis balls; she enjoys collecting them, fetching them, chewing on them, and sometimes tearing them open. Do you have room for a loveable tennis ball dragon?OTHER PETS: Marley was not interested in meeting hyper dogs, and gets grumpy with other dogs if they play too roughly (even if not with her); Marley would do best as an only dog although she enjoys socializing with low energy dogs outside of the home. [Should Be Only Pet] NO CATS, NO DOGS OWNER EXPERIENCE: Marley is going to need time, compassion, and understanding while she settles in - it may take longer than usual for her to begin to settle in and open up. Someone with experience would be able to support Marley with a minimal learning curve. [Some Experience] KIDS: Marley can be intense with her food and takes time to warm up to people; she needs to live with humans who will not mess with her food bowls and understand she may take time to become affectionate with them - Marley is nervous around strangers and may growl at them. [12+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Marley walks well on a leash and enjoys spending time outside, she enjoys fetch and other toy involved play with humans and does not get overly excited. Marley would do best with daily walks, some quality playtime, and plenty of mental enrichment to keep activities varied. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Marley arrived with some very itchy, scabby, skin. She had received vet care and is now back to 100%. A good relationship with a vet will ensure that Marley ages gracefully. [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Marley bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important skills.

KARMA

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Karma is an outgoing, high energy girl who enjoys playing with people and has been known to bop humans with her toys from time to time. She is very people oriented, but still needs help channeling her excitement and will need the support of her humans to tackle the fun challenge of positive reinforcement training.OTHER PETS: Karma has a very active prey drive, she should not live with small dogs or cats. She can be pushy with other dogs so she should meet any dog she may be living with to ensure a good match.[Case-By-Case *NO SMALL DOGS NO CATS* (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with athletic, high energy dogs would be a good fit for Karma.[Some Experience] KIDS: Karma is jumpy, sometimes muzzle punches (booping with her nose), and is uncomfortable with some handling. Karma's best fit would be in a home with adults and older teens only. [15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Karma has a lot of energy and will need appropriate ways to channel it to ensure she does not amuse herself at her owner's belongings expense. Multiple or longer daily walks would be a great idea, and supervised outdoor playtime will give Karma the chance to roll around and be a goofy wiggle butt. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Karma bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important skills. Karma may be able to work on reducing her prey drive if her owner seeks the assistance of a qualified Veterinary Behavorist, however to keep animals safe Karma should not have access to small dogs or other animals.

BABE

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Senior

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Babe is a sweet older girl who might take a while to warm up. She can be skittish with new people, but once she's comfortable she'll be leaning in for all the pets! She's not a fan of loud noises, and will startle easily when she's not expecting something, but she's so gentle and sweet--especially when it comes to treats! Since she's such a nervous dog, patience and support will be crucial in helping Bella adjust to her new home. OTHER PETS: While Babe isn't overtly reactive with other dogs, she prefers to keep to herself and isn't fond of close interaction. She would be happiest as an only dog in the home, where she can have her own space. [Should Be Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone dedicated to building Babe's confidence and supporting her as she adjusts to life in a new home would be ideal. [First Dog / Some Experience]KIDS: Babe can be uncomfortable with some types of handling--especially with those she doesn't know yet--so she would likely do best around kids that are old enough to respect her boundaries and understand how to interact with her. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Babe hasn't had a huge interest in toys during her stay at TJO, but once she's settled in a home environment it's possible that her energy level may change. She's definitely a dog that'd be happy sharing space on the couch with her people, but she can also be a great walking buddy - she loves her daily walks and does beautifully on leash! [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Babe will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Babe not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well as she slowly acclimates to a new home. [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home.

STORM

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Storm is a blur of activity AND a blur of color! This heart-nosed sweetie boasts a coat of both brindle and merle in addition to his stylish white blaze and toes. Storm will need some support learning how to be a polite, large pup - positive reinforcement training will help him learn important skills while having lots of fun and bonding with his guardian. OTHER PETS: Storm is an outgoing, playful dog who attempts to engage all dogs he meets in play. He is rough and rowdy, and sometimes becomes rude with smaller dogs. His best match would be with a dog of similar size, play style & temperament. [Likely - Similar Size & Temperment - (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has previously owned a dog before would be less overwhelmed by Storm's mischevious behavior - he will jump on and off tables and sometimes forgets that he knows how to walk with a loose leash and begins pulling. [Some Experience] KIDS: Storm is uncomfortable with some handling, wary of new people (but warms up quickly) and is a strong, rambunctious dog. His best match would be with a household that does not have any pre-teen or younger humans.[13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Storm is a dog who will need multiple daily walks or a combination of walks and other engaging activities & mental enrichment to ensure his needs are met. Positive reinforcement training is a great stepping stone that will open doors for other activities like dog sports (agility, flyball, etc) and becoming a human adventure companion. Supervised outdoor playtime and puzzle toys are also good options to keep Storm mentally and physically engaged. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Storm bond with his new owner as well as help him learn important skills. Further positive reinforcement training will enrich Storm's life and give him the opportunity to participate in various activities. [Minimal]January 15, 2025, 9:11 am

CUPCAKE

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Cupcake came to TJO a little timid, but curious about her new surroundings. She is reserved in the kennel, but once she warms up and gets outside she loves to play! She tends to pull on the leash to reach all the smells, and will jump up to get the attention of her favorite people, but with some positive reinforcement training and some decompression in her new home, she'll be a wonderful companion to hang out with after a walk around the block. OTHER PETS: Cupcake initiated play with other dogs, and would likely get along with other playful dogs that will match or tolerate her play style. NO CATS [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Because Cupcake can get overexcited with people, she would likely do best with someone who has some modern knowledge of dog behavior and body language. [Some Experience] KIDS: Cupcake is uncomfortable with some types of handling and can be jumpy with people, so she would likely fit best in a home with kids who are old enough to understand how to interact with her and won't be knocked over easily. She also has some intensity around her food, so she should live with people that are able to respect her boundaries and leave her alone while she eats. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Cupcake is reserved and observant in her kennel, once she's out she's ready to rock! She's super playful with people and loves going for walks outside--though she does pull on the leash quite a bit at this time. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Cupcake is a healthy dog overall, but she did arrive at TJO with some skin issues that she's still being treated for. It is currently unknown whether her skin issues are long-term or temporary, so it's possible she may need on-going medicated baths or a restricted diet. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Cupcake can be jumpy and pulls at the end of the leash. Depending on her new family's preferences, she may need help learning how to walk loosely on leash and greet people from the ground. Positive reinforcement training will help Cupcake with not only learning her basic cues & skills, but also help her to bond with her new owner. [Moderate] GROOMING: While Cupcake has short fur, she may require medicated baths every so often to maintain her skin health. [Minimal]January 12, 2025, 10:47 am
