Story
Hazel has been in foster for over 2 YEARS — that’s nearly 900 days with no interest, no family, no forever home. How is this sweet girl STILL waiting? 💔 🐾 Meet Hazel ✨ 3-year-old Pit Bull mix ✨ Spirited, smart, and full of love ✨ Treat lover & quick learner (knows sit, paw, and wait!) Hazel’s story isn’t an easy one. Originally surrendered under false pretenses, it was later discovered she was kept in a small kennel and used for breeding at just ONE year old. 😔 Despite everything, Hazel’s resilience shines. She’s thriving in her foster home with two canine friends who have helped her grow and trust again. She was once adopted, but her protective instincts and boundless energy were misunderstood. She’s now patiently waiting for strong, supportive adopters who will continue her training and give her the structured, loving home she truly deserves. 💛 🚫 Hazel’s Ideal Home: ❌ No children ❌ No small animals (high prey drive) ✅ Experienced, patient owners ✅ Commitment to ongoing training Hazel is loyal, affectionate, and ready to give her whole heart to someone who truly sees her. Please don’t let her wait another day. 💔 She’s more than ready to start her forever.

Riddick

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 5 yrs
Whitehall, PA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Riddick — a 5-year-old Pitbull Terrier with the build of a superhero (83 lbs. of muscle with some extra padding) and the heart of a loyal buddy. Sadly, he’s experienced his very own Chronicles of Riddick. He was surrendered to us as an 8-month-old puppy, was adopted into a home for over four years, but is now back through no fault of his own. Don’t be fooled by his serious look in the kennel — once he’s out, Riddick is a friendly, affectionate goofball who just wants love and attention. He’s potty trained, trustworthy when left alone, and purportedly good with other dogs, cats, and kids. Like any strong leading man, he has a lot to say and he could use a bit of leash work (and definitely a diet), so he’ll need an equally strong sidekick to man the leash. Riddick is high-energy, loyal, and ready to start his next chapter with a family who will never close the book on him again. Give this big-hearted boy a chance — his greatest story is still waiting to be written! Apply at lvpeaceablekingdom.info.

Story
Meet sweet Annie, who has been returned to PK after being adopted two times (!!!), each time by no fault of her own. She really deserves to find a permanent home to live out her senior years. Annie is 9-year-old pitbull mix. She weighs 50 lbs. Annie is very friendly and easy-going with her human companions. While she is a little older, she is still quite active and enjoys walks and playtime, followed of course by some good snoozes. We believe Annie would be fine living in a home with children, but she must be an only pet. She currently has skin issues due to allergies and is on medicine for treatment, including Apoquel. Annie will need an owner who prioritizes ongoing treatment for her skin issues. If you are looking for a laid-back companion, apply for this sweet gal at lvpeaceablekingdom.info.

Story
Meet Regina. Regina may be named after a Mean Girls queen bee, but don’t worry—when it comes to people, she’s got nothing but love. This 1-year-old, 34 lb. pitbull mix is an absolute sweetheart who lives for hugs, smooches, and soaking up every bit of human attention she can get. Now…other dogs? That’s where Regina channels her inner “You can’t sit with us.” She’s not a fan of canine company, so she’ll need to be your one and only. But honestly? With a personality this loving, she’ll give you more than enough affection for a full pack. Regina can live with older kids. If you’re ready for a devoted, people-loving pup who just wants to be your best friend (and isn’t interested in sharing you), Regina is ready to rule your heart—in the nicest way possible.
