Story
Bikini came to us from a small rural shelter where her chances of getting out were very slim. She is a 3 yr old pit/catahoula mix and don’t let her breeds fool you. She’s a total couch potato! She has her moments of zoomies but they don’t last long. While she does live in a foster home with other dogs of all sizes, she is the queen bee and can be a little bossy so she is looking for a home with no other dogs. She loves all people she meets and she is a very sweet girl. She has good doggie manners but needs some work on her leash training. She is a puller on the leash but we’ve seen a lot of improvement with the ez walk harness. Bikini is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, heartworm test and spay.

Story
Meet Bubbles — your future best friend and resident goofball! 💕 At just 9 months old, Bubbles is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and sweet, snuggly companion. This adorable pit mix may look like a big girl, but she’s really just 40 lbs of lovable chunk and wiggles! Bubbles is a total social butterfly — she’s fantastic with kids, gets along great with other dogs with proper introductions, and absolutely lives for playtime. Whether she’s wrestling with her doggy friends or zooming around the yard, her silly personality is guaranteed to keep you smiling. She’s not just fun — she’s smart, too! Bubbles is crate trained, and already knows her basic commands. She’s eager to please and would thrive in a home that will continue to guide her as she grows. Bubbles’ story started when she was found as a tiny puppy at a laundromat. She was quickly adopted, but through no fault of her own, she has found herself back with us and ready for a true forever home. What she’s really looking for? A family to love her for life — one that will embrace her playful spirit, appreciate her goofy charm, and give her all the belly rubs she deserves. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal, and endlessly entertaining companion, Bubbles is your girl. 🐾💖 Bubbles is located in Texas.

Female, Senior
alexandria, VA

Story
Faith checks so many boxes for being the perfect family dog. Could that family be yours? She’s a low energy girl who's perfectly happy relaxing at home while you’re at work and doesn’t need constant entertainment or attention. But she still enjoys her walks, gets excited for her routines, and has plenty of energy left for the people she loves. She’s the kind of dog who likes a calm, comfortable life: naps nearby, hanging out with her people, and being included in the day-to-day stuff. Faith is fully house trained, great with kids of all ages, and very respectful around cats. Mostly, Faith is just an easy dog to live with. She knows how to be part of a household, she loves her people deeply, and she’s at a stage in life where the little things make her happy. On walks, she can be reactive to other dogs, so she’ll need someone who’s comfortable handling that and helping her avoid stressful situations. Because of that, she’d probably be happiest as the only dog in the home. Faith’s adoption fee is sponsored by our friends at Sadie’s Spirit of Rescue.To see videos and our dogs in action, check us out on IG @vindicatedpits Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed.  The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

Story
Location: Manassas, VA Adoption fee fully sponsored - In memory of Dutch (a very good boy) Meet Nemi 💕 Nemi is a petite little sweetheart who’s even smaller than she looks, with the cutest crooked snout and a soft, beautiful coat that’s perfect for snuggles. She’s the best of both worlds—playful and relaxed. Nemi loves to play and will give you the most adorable post-meal zoomies, but she’s just as happy to curl up on the couch and nap quietly while you’re away. She’s housebroken, trustworthy when home alone, and an easy, low-key companion. Nemi also does great with cats, peacefully coexisting and doing her own thing. She enjoys other dogs, but prefers slow introductions and having her own space, so she can feel comfortable and confident. She responds well to gentle guidance and will thrive with a family who understands her pace and gives her the time to settle in. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion with a playful side and lots of love to give, Nemi could be your perfect match. 🐾

Story
Currently fostered in: Brooklyn Park, MD 💙Meet Jackson!💙 If you're looking for the happiest dog in the world who never meets a stranger, Jackson may just be your perfect match! He is a giant love bug with just one simple wish: to finally find his furever family. This handsome guy is affectionate, goofy, and happiest when he's right by your side. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, running errands, or working on things around the house, Jackson just wants to be your loyal shadow. Affection is 100% Jackson's love language! He absolutely melts for attention and thrives on being close to his people. A scratch behind the ears, a gentle hug, or simply sitting next to you is enough to make his whole world light up. Adopters who have lots of time to spend with him are right up his alley! In Jackson's mind he is no different than a 3lb puppy! Jackson still has that classic playful puppy spirit and doesn't quite understand that he's a big boy now. He adores playing with other dogs, but his play style can be very rowdy and energetic, so he'll do best with dogs who appreciate his playful enthusiasm and also strive to wrestle and play tag to their heart's content. When he isn't wrestling, Jackson loves chew toys and bones, and can occupy himself with them for hours! Jackson is a very smart boy and a great listener with a fantastic recall. He is also very food motivated which means he is easy-to-train! Great manners in public come easily to Jackson and he does fantastic on car rides- making him perfect to take everywhere with you (and his foster mom really does take him everywhere!) You truly couldn't ask for a better partner in crime! If you're looking for a loyal, friendly, fun-loving companion who's sure to keep a smile on your face, Jackson is ready to meet you! Apply today! VETERINARY CARE Jackson is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and receiving heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives along with routine parasite treatments.
