Mya

American Pit Bull Terrier Mutt

Female, Adult
Dayton, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
Mya's background is unknown, but she was found abandoned by a dog breeder in 2021. After being rescued, she was adopted by my mother, but tensions with the family dog led me to take her in. Although I initially planned to rehome her, I soon learned she's house-trained and knows basic commands. However, my busy lifestyle doesn't allow for much attention. Mya would thrive in a home with a backyard, as her energy is better suited for more space than my apartment provides. She's laid-back and friendly with people and visitors, but she's curious and occasionally chases cats or small animals. While she's not hostile toward children, she could benefit from training to get used to cats. Groomers describe her as an angel with a little anxiety as she does get nervous at the groomers but never difficult. Due to my work schedule and rising pet costs, I'm seeking a home that can better meet her needs. We suspect she's vaccinated as she has never shown signs of diseases or illnesses since rescue.

Story
Mama was born in Columbus and bought by a friend of mine, my friend asked me to foster mama for a month while they moved. We’re going into 2 months of fostering and my friend can not have her due to breed restrictions at the new place. Unfortunately we can not keep her due to having too many animals while renting. This includes 2 cans and another small dog who she gets along with amazingly. We’ve also run into the issue of not having enough time for her, she needs to have a yard where she can run around and get energy out. She is very well behaved and listens incredibly well she loves laying next to you in her bed. She’s a cuddle baby. She does have a slight jumping issue which we have worked a lot on so it’s not too bad anymore. She’s just turned one in July on the 16th. She needs a loving family! Please reach out if you can help in any way.

Winny

Boxer American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 2 mos
Kettering, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Winny, the new love of your life. Winny will love you right back with cuddles and being held. She loves kids and other dogs. Winny is a very excited greeter though, so a home with smaller children would need extra attention so she does not accidentally knock over a little one with her excitement. Winny also LOVES walks and car rides, but will definitely lead the way on a walk so she will need someone who can hold down the fort. So much love going around with Winny. When Winny is by herself at home it takes her a few minutes to calm in her crate, but she even sleeps in her crate, with the command "nap", at night to let you get your beauty rest. Speaking of commands, this smart little girl knows "sit" and "come". Squeaky toys are her favorite and Winny is potty trained like a big girl. Winny still neeeds a slow feeder for meals since she eats with gusto. Winny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. If Winny seems like the right fit for you, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt to apply! Her adoption fee is $285. We believe she may be a year old old Boxer Whippet mix and she's around 35-40 pounds. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
Hi there, I'm Vernon! I am a super snuggly sweetheart. I have the the softest, rabbit-like fur you’ll ever touch. I'm a bulldog mix with the cutest underbite, really, I'm a total cuddlebug and love nothing more than curling up close for a nap—or playing joyfully with other dogs. Before rescue, I was surviving as a stray on the streets for months, too scared to trust despite many kindhearted attempts. When I finally decided it was okay to trust and taken in, I had some serious wounds from life outside — I got some TLC, antibiotics, and love. But that is all behind me now and my foster says I've healed beautifully, both inside and out. I have been told that I can have a very serious look but I am gentle, affectionate, and ready to bond deeply with a forever family. While I haven't met cats yet, I am at my best and confident when I am with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions or loving humans who adore snuggles. Now that my rough days are behind me, I'm ready for a soft bed, full belly, and lots of love—maybe with you? ADOPTION FEE: $300 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained) ADOPTER: Dog experience BIRTHDAY: 11/5/2023 FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment) DOG FRIENDLY: Yes DOGS IN HOME: Required CATS: Unknown CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over I AM READY TO GO HOME - If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $300 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me! ***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION OR ARE NOT YET READY TO PROCEED PLEASE APPLY WHEN YOU ARE.*** INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25. DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response. PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
