Jezzabelle

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 7 yrs
Schenectady, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This 5-year-old sweetheart came to us from local animal control after surviving a domestic violence situation. Despite her tough past, she has nothing but love to give and is ready to start her new chapter surrounded by kindness. Her foster mom describes her as a snuggle bug who loves curling up under blankets, giving kisses, and always being close to her people. She enjoys watching the world out the window, greeting visitors, and playing gently with kids. She gets along well with other dogs and even cats, and she’s happiest when she knows she’s not alone. Jezzabelle already knows several commands (sit, down, stay, come, easy) and is working on her leash manners and house training. She loves her stuffy toys, enjoys a good bath, and calms nicely with music when she’s feeling a little anxious. Jezzabelle’s perfect family will be one that offers her a quiet, patient home where she can blossom and build her confidence at her own pace. She has done very well with the dog in her foster home so we believe she would do well with a calm canine brother. And her unique name? Those double “Zs” were chosen in honor of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing — a little nod to resilience, strength, and rock ‘n roll spirit. After everything she’s been through, Jezzabelle is ready for the safe, loving forever home she deserves. Could that be with you?

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
this handsome pup is already showing the world what a special soul he is. Ampersand is learning all about life in a home — from potty training and crate training to the joy of playtime and cuddles. With a little structure, he’s working hard and making progress every day. But what makes him truly unique is his heart. His foster mom says he has a gift for knowing when people need a little extra love. Whether it’s bringing joy to strangers at the farmers market, comforting someone who’s hurting, or simply curling up for snuggles, Ampersand has a way of connecting that feels beyond his young age. He’s gentle with kids, friendly with other dogs, and curious about the world as he continues to come out of his shell after his shelter days. Ampersand is still growing into himself, but one thing is certain — he’s going to make an incredible companion for the family lucky enough to call him theirs.

Story
My name`s Shenzee--named after the hyena from The Lion King because of my beloved large ears. All the better to hear you with! I`m holding my own at the shelter as best as I can but I`m more than ready to take on the next adventure in a warm loving furrever home. With my energetic confident personality, I`m looking for a challenge, a job, or an active household that can put me to work. Wherever you go, I`ll follow! A mountain hike, a dog-friendly grocery store, a park, a car, the pool, the beach, a boat (I absolutely love the water), probably even the pits of Hell because I`ll be your ride-or-die rest assured. After getting out my energy, I love to relax with a good hearty chew-safe bone to wind down next to my favorite people.

Story
Dameon is a 5 year old pit bull/black lab mix. He is friendly, loves to play, LOVES to run, is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and was trained as a puppy. He is not super friendly with dogs but can learn to be friendly with individual pups if he's taught by someone experienced with dog reactivity. He loves hiking, walking, running, camping, playing hide and search with his toys, and sometimes swimming. He's a cuddle bug, is good in the bath and getting his teeth/ears cleaned. He loves shredding plush toys when hes allowed and chewing on harder rubber toys like Kongs, this favorite toys are ropes for tug of war but dont let him chew on them, he sometimes swallow the strings. I have had him since he was a puppy and with a new job location and changes in landlord pit bull policies I can no longer provide the time required to meet his needs. He deserves a loving home with enough time for him and enough room to run and play!

Story
Meet Emma – the girl with the sweetest smile and the most soulful eyes you've ever seen (seriously, she smiles and it melts everyone she meets). Every single person who spends time with her falls in love instantly – she's just that special. Emma is a sweet and affectionate 5-year-old, 60-lb spayed female pit bull mix who will melt your heart with her velcro-like love and cuddly nature. She is being fostered in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can be transported out of state once matched with an approved adopter. Emma is fully vaccinated, microchipped, crate trained, and house trained. She is the complete package for someone seeking a loyal and loving companion Emma is a true LOVER who thrives on affection and bonds deeply with her person. Her favorite place to be is right by your side, where she can bask in your attention and return it tenfold with endless tail wags, gentle kisses, and adoring eyes. Whether you’re curled up on the couch watching your favorite show or heading out for a leisurely stroll, Emma is your steadfast partner, always ready to join you. Her low to moderate energy level means she’s just as happy to relax at home as she is to explore the great outdoors. Emma walks beautifully on a leash and responds wonderfully to commands and gentle redirection, making her a joy to take on walks. She’s been assessed by a professional trainer and has proven herself to be an eager learner with excellent manners. She’s also a pro at making her humans smile with her gentle demeanor and loving personality. Emma’s house manners are impeccable. She’s not destructive and knows how to respect your space while still being a devoted companion. While she adores humans of all ages and is fine with kids, Emma thrives as the center of attention and will need to be the only dog in the home. Her ideal family is one who will cherish her as much as she cherishes them. When it comes to other dogs, Emma is still figuring things out. She gets very excited when she sees other pups on walks and is easily redirectable with a little help from her human. She’s met a friend’s dog on leash before – and while she was full of wiggles and interest at first, she quickly lost interest and happily went about her walk. In her foster home, Emma doesn’t have direct dog buddies, but she’s been able to peacefully coexist with other dogs from behind a crate or a baby gate. With time and proper introductions, she may continue to build her confidence and social skills around other dogs. That said, we believe Emma will thrive best as the only dog in her forever home, where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. Emma is a total sweetheart with people – affectionate, expressive, and always ready for snuggles. She’s the kind of dog who turns heads not just for her good looks, but for the joy she brings into every room she enters. Emma’s gentle soul and unwavering devotion make her a perfect fit for someone looking for a loyal best friend. She’ll greet you every day with a wagging tail and a heart full of love, ready to bring joy, comfort, and companionship into your life. Apply today to meet Emma and let her show you just how special she is. She’s ready to be your one and only and can’t wait to start her happily ever after with you!

Story
Meet Hershey – a 3.5-year-old, 42-pound spayed female Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix with a heart as sweet as her name! Currently in a loving foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS, Hershey is ready to transport out of state once her perfect match is approved. Hershey may be pint-sized, but she’s got a big personality and even bigger love to give. She was found wandering the streets of Houston until her amazing foster stepped in and gave her a safe place to land. Since then, she’s blossomed into a loyal, affectionate, and easygoing companion who’s ready for a forever home of her own. This low-rider cuddle bug absolutely adores her people—she’s happiest when she’s curled up next to you on the couch or following you from room to room. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her humans and thrives in a home where she can be part of the family’s daily life. Hershey is fully housebroken and does well in her crate. She’s great on a leash, walks calmly, and loves getting out to sniff and explore the neighborhood. While she may be short in stature, she carries herself with confidence and will let you know if someone’s at the door—her little bark is all part of her charm! She’s playful, curious, and loves a good case of the zoomies, especially in a yard where she can run off some energy. While she’s generally mellow indoors, she enjoys regular walks, sniff sessions, and time outside. Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms can spook her, so a calm, secure environment during those moments is important. Hershey has had a positive experience with children, including a gentle 9-year-old boy, and her affectionate nature makes her a great match for a home with respectful kids. She’s also made great progress with other dogs—she has a bouncy play style and may put her front paws on another dog to initiate play. Because of this, she’d do best either as the only pet (where she can soak up all the love!) or with a calm, tolerant dog who won’t mind her enthusiastic approach. We don’t have any history with cats, so slow, supervised introductions—or a cat-free home—would be best for now. Hershey is looking for a stable, loving home where she can continue to thrive, feel safe, and be someone’s loyal sidekick. She’s full of love, personality, and wiggles, and she’s more than ready to trade in her foster couch for a permanent one. If you're looking for a snuggly, playful, and devoted companion—Hershey is ready to be your best friend
