Story
Introducing the handsome Domino! This precious pittie is almost a year old, and he's all ready for his forever home. Neutered and up to date on shots , he's the epitome of sweetness and charm! Domino is a social butterfly when it comes to other pups and simply adores humans! He's absolutely obsessed with them and will shower you with endless love and affection. Plus, this smart boy is incredibly treat motivated and a quick learner. While Domino gets along well with children, he would thrive best in a home with older kids. Why, you ask? Well, when he gets excited, he tends to do what we call "happy jumps"! So, to avoid any accidental tumbles, an older, more sturdy bunch would be perfect. Domino is crate-trained like a champ and is wonderfully well-behaved. He may pull a little on his leash during walks, but with a bit of guidance, he's an absolute gem. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this adorable pittie, look no further! Domino is anxiously waiting to find his forever family. Are you the lucky ones who will provide him with all the love and care he deserves? DM us now! #AdoptDontShop #PittieLove #ForeverHomeBound #AdorableDomino

Story
I have had Russell for 8 years, he is very playful, full of energy and loves to be cuddled on. He does have some anxiety with crates, but does well with open topped cages. We have recently became a blended family and Russell does not do well with the new dogs (due to his anxiety). I would like to have him re homed to someone who does not have any other pets, has a backyard for him to run and play in and someone who will be able to put their full undivided attention on loving and caring for him. He’s a great companion, he just needs the right home life.

Romeo is the sweetest dog in the world it’s very unfortunate we have to surrender him. I really just want him to go to a good home who like to cuddle and have a lil play time here and there. Romeo can be the companion you need he can be very chill and just lay around all day or he can go on a run with you and play around with kids. He’s good with kids of all ages and newborns and he’s very gentle. He love to protect he knows when something is not right. Over all Romeo really is the best dog but I don’t have to cost to take him with me across the country with a newborn baby.

Story
P lease contact us to submit an application directly at Kzyrnr17@yahoo.com or info@dogdiggityrescue.com. Meet Bailey! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home with experienced owners.  She loves the outside - playing fetch, going for walks in fairly quiet areas (few people and dogs to run into) and laying in the sun. She also does great in the car! A securely fenced yard is a must for this girl.    Inside, Bailey thinks anything soft is her bed - she enjoys sleeping on the couch, in her crate, on a dog bed or at your feet while working (she’d love to sleep in bed with you but isn’t allowed in her foster home). She loves her dog toys and chewing her bone and stuffies and keeps the chewing to appropriate dog things. She will alert you to any happenings outside. Bailey is crate trained - It is her safe place!   Bailey with people - she absolutely loves HER humans. She needs slow, distant and non threatening introductions with people, but once she sees you’re safe, you become part of her circle and she can’t love you enough. She loves to play and cuddle and get belly rubs.  She is a covid dog in that she hasn’t had a lot of exposure to other people. She continues to make progress with socialization.    Bailey with kids - her human foster brother is her favorite being. Bailey’s forever home could include older kids (12+) who are respectful of her and her signals. She also gets quite excited to see her people and can forget her size!    Bailey with dogs - Bailey is reactive to other dogs. She is in a foster home with another dog and while they get along (after a slow introduction), Bailey resource guards bones, stuffed animals and good treats, causing angst in her furry foster brother. She’d love to be the only furry friend in a home to get all of the love and attention (she also has prey drive so no cats).    As Bailey was under socialized and has some fears, she needs experienced owners that will continue her positive training and pay attention to and respect her signals. She has made great progress and has so much love to give and all she wants is love and a cuddle in return.    Bailey is currently in foster in Gig Harbor. If you’re interested in being Bailey’s forever family, please complete an application: No apartments or rentals.  Bully Breed experience is a must April 23, 2024, 11:43 am

Biggie is approximately 3 years old, he is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He is very strong so although he is not aggressive he is not a good fit for families with small children or babies. Biggie needs a fenced in yard where he can run around when you are not home. Biggie goes potty outside. He is very lovable and needs lots of attention, so if you are home a lot he may be the right pup for you!

Story
Zeus is a 9 year old Bull Terrier. He's a super sweet guy, a big cuddler, and loves to spend time outside in the sun or on the couch with his people. He spent the first 5 years of his life with an open yard, and as a single dog in the family. As such, he was not socialized or even neutered until he was about 6. Zeus has made incredible strides in reactivity when other dogs are nearby, but he has a history of escalating situations with other dogs and being aggressive and intolerant. Zeus would fit very well with a home where he would be the only pet. The reason he needs to be rehomed is because he has found his way into my care, alongside my cat and another bull terrier puppy. The puppy is energetic and pushes the old man's limits. My partner and I have tried everything we can to curb the triggers for Zeus, but fights have started to break out more consistently even after 6 months of solid effort, and we are worried about the safety of the two dogs together if the situation continues.
