American Pit Bull Terrier puppies and dogs in Port Chester, New York

Mocha was abandoned by her family who used her for breeding. When she was no longer any use to them they brought her to be put down, saying she was old and sick... neither of which is true!! Mocha is a delicious little lady. She loves people and food. She would do anything for a treat. Mocha is goofy, housebroken and playful, yet can just chill out on the couch. She is friendly with all people and loves to go on walks. Mocha gets very excited with other dogs, so a home as the only dog would be great until her new family can take the time to train her to relax. She will be happier as an only dog until she learns to play in a calmer way. Mocha has a good appetite and is not a picky eater. She is a pleasant, rhythmic snorer and an alll-around great dog. Mocha is an angel at home by herself, or a wonderful companion on vacation. She loves when her family plays with her, with her toys. This girl deserves a new life with a loving family. If you’ve been looking for the companionship of a wonderful pet come meet Mocha…we know you won’t be disappointed. Come to our Meet & Greet Saturday 11:30-1:30. If you are interested in this dog, please submit an application directly to our website at www.ny-petrescue.org. Only applications submitted directly to Petrescue will be considered.

Dior, a 5 yr old, vaccinated, microchipped, neutered pup, has found himself looking for his forever home! He has no known health issues other than some typical pitbull skin. He is a sweet boy and has so much love to give, but he isn't ready to trust everyone he meets. He is a very smart boy who listens to and trusts those who handle him regularly, but will need training. Unfortunately he has developed some behavior issues since being in a kennel environment long term and is hoping to settle into a forever home where he can have mental stimulation, physical activity, and a strong connection with his trusted person. ***Please note that Dior is a courtesy post and is not located at or affiliated with Paws Crossed Animal Rescue. Email RehomingAngels@gmail.com with any questions or adoption/foster inquiries. April 24, 2024, 6:15 am

The first step in getting started with our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application on our website at www.adopt-a-dog.org. We welcome you to come visit our shelter! Meet & greets will be set up by appointment once your application has been received & processed. If a dog is still listed on Petfinder, we are still accepting applications for them!   *Adoption fee: Young Adult (1-4 years): $475 *Health: Up to date on age-appropriate core vaccines so far (adopter will be responsible for remaining vaccinations if applicable), spayed/neutered , microchipped, dewormed *If the dog you are adopting is not yet spayed/neutered at the time of adoption, we require a $150 deposit in addition to the adoption fee (to be refunded upon proof of surgery within 6 months of adoption)     ** Please note that we are taking our best guess on age, breed, and size when fully grown, based on the dog’s physical appearance and what we might have learned about one or both parents depending on the situation. We rarely know a dog's exact age, nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is often limited. We encourage you to consider individual personality rather than relying on a label – meeting a dog in person is the best way to make sure it’s love!   FAQs: WHAT IS THE ADOPTION PROCESS?: The first step in adopting an AAD dog is to fill out an application via our website www.adoptadog.org. Once we receive your application, one of our application processors will contact you, and answer any questions you may have. We will also ask for additional information if needed (landlord or veterinarian contact information, or other based on your application). Once an application has been approved, we will schedule a mutually convenient time for a meet & greet! We do not operate on a first-come-first-serve basis for adoptions, but on best fit for a family and most importantly the dog.   HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE TO ADOPT?:  You must be age 25 or older to apply to adopt. If you live in a home with other people (ie parents, relatives) the person who will be financially responsible for the care of the dog should be the one to fill out the application.   HOW CAN I MEET THE ADOPTABLE DOGS?: Meet and greets will be scheduled once your adoption application has been fully processed by one of our adoption processors. Please be sure to fill out the application as thoroughly as possible, as we want to make sure we find you the perfect match!   *If you have any additional questions that have not been answered, please e-mail info@adoptadog.org! ##1367805##
