Male, Young

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
The reason we HAVE to re-home Roy is because he is un-neutered and has begun peeing/marking our home as his territory, because we have an un-spayed female pitbull (Cuddles). We are a disabled couple on a fixed income and would not be able to afford to take care of him, her, and her puppies, if Cuddles got pregnant. Also, we are not able to afford to fix both pups. We love both of them: they enjoy each other, but we were only supposed to be fostering Royale until his huparents were in a place that accepted large-sized dogs. Recently, they have fallen on hard times and had to re-home him or get evicted. Royale is gentle and loving and good with kids, even special-needs children. My wife is a paraplegic with related health issues. I am a TBI/stroke survivor with physical health issues, including a recent total left hip replacement, broken left foot, as well as neck, shoulder, and spinal issues, etc. It saddens us to have to do this, but we are left with little choice.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 4 mos
Springdale, PA

Story
Barbie is a tender-hearted, deeply loving pup who forms strong bonds once she feels safe and secure. She will love her person with her whole heart, but she needs time and patience to open up in a new environment. Barbie does best with consistency, calm guidance, and a home that understands she is sensitive and still learning to trust. This sweet girl has had a rough start to life and it appears she lived out doors. Barbi e came into rescue when she needed surgery due to trouble giving birth to her puppies.  Barbie does experience separation anxiety, so she will thrive in a home where someone works from home or is not gone for long hours. When her person is away, she will need appropriate outlets such as Nylabones, Kongs, and enrichment or puzzle toys to help her stay calm and occupied. Metal feeding bowls will be a must and a predictable routine and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping her continue to build confidence. She tends to prefer women and appears fearful of men; however, this is likely due to very limited exposure rather than true intolerance. With time, patience, and positive experiences, this may improve. Barbie would do best in a home without small children, as she can be rough and rowdy when excited and may not always realize her own strength. Barbie has a high prey drive and should not live with cats. She may also not be a good fit for homes with small dogs, as she showed a bit too much interest in a smaller dog in her foster home. She has, however, done well around pot-bellied pigs, showing that she can coexist successfully with the right animal companions. Barbie is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped and is working on both crate training and potty training.She is not a “one-size-fits-all” dog, but for the right adopter—someone patient, understanding, and ready to provide a stable, loving home—Barbie will be an incredibly devoted and rewarding companion. ##2642993##

This pipsqueak is looking for a home with a yard that will continue positive, consistent training as well as playtime, structure, and lots of love.

Story
Cherry is a 1.5-year-old, 42-lb bully mix with a gentle personality and a love for making new friends. She’s extremely dog-friendly and happily engages with every pup she meets. Cherry has a calm, easygoing nature and enjoys daily walks, car rides, and spending time with her canine companions. She has also shown positive curiosity around cats—when she met a cat safely in a cage, she approached with a wagging tail, checked in with her foster mom, and calmly moved along. Cherry is wonderful with children of all ages and is especially affectionate with them. Cherry is comfortable in her crate and continues to improve with potty training each day. She walks beautifully on a leash without pulling and especially loves walking alongside other dogs. When it’s time to relax, her absolute favorite treat is a frozen peanut butter Kong. Cherry is a sweet, well-mannered girl who would make a loving and loyal addition to a lucky family. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and will be available for adoption starting 3/18 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182. ##2681826##

Story
Now Presenting: Arianna "Ari" Grande-Life!   Are you ready to say "Thank U, Next" to your life without a dog? Meet Ari, a spayed petite Pittie mix who is 10 years young and ready to take center stage in your heart. While she may be a "senior," don't let the age fool you, she still has plenty of spunk and views every walk as a world tour.   Ari is the ultimate "God is a Woman" icon: graceful, petite, and knows exactly what she wants.   The Greatest Hits: - The Spunk: She’s got the energy of a pop star but the soul of a cuddler. She absolutely loves being outside and soaking up the sun. - The Professional: Ari is fully potty trained and crate trained. No "7 Rings" of mess here, she’s a total pro in the house. - The Snuggle Bug: She lives for her humans. If you’re on the couch, she’s right there with you. She just wants to be close to you "Side to Side."   The Ideal Backstage Rider:   Ari knows her worth and has a few requests for her forever home: - Calm Vibes Only: She’s looking for a home with older kids or calm children who can respect her boundaries. She likes her "Focus" when she’s relaxing and can get a bit nervous if things get too chaotic. - Flexible Social Life: She’s happy to have a canine backup dancer (she likes dog companions!), but she’s also perfectly content being a solo act. - While Ari has been cat tested and had no issues, she would need tested again with your feline friend to make sure they are compatible.   "I'm so into you, I can barely breathe!" - Ari, probably, the moment she meets you.   If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and perfectly sized companion to spend your "Positions" on the couch with, Ari is your girl. She’s ready to move out of the shelter and into her "Sweetener" phase of life with you. Ari is up to date on vaccinations and eligible for adoption starting 2/27/26 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA 15144 KL# 16182 ##2666297##
