I am both food and positive reinforcement motivated. And I love to show you my new tricks. I love all the people, kids, dogs and I even kissed a cat ( and I liked it!). I am both brains and bueaty! Don't wait! I can't! And I won't last long here at Adopt A Pit.

Meet Crumpet! She’s been guessed at 4 and at 8 and at 2 so we’re going with 4 since she acts like a puppy half the time and an old lady half the time.

My name is Sexy Dexy but my foster mom just calls me Dexy. I am a 5 month old pitty mix and weigh in at 36lbs! I wake up every day with love and joy radiating from the tip of my nose to the nub of my tail. I sleep all night in my crate (9P to 7A) with no accidents or whining to go outside! I already know how to sit and am very quick to learn new things. I love walking on a leash with the kids that live with me (9 yrs and 4 yrs) and all the neighbor kids in the area. I just sit down and let them all give me pets and hugs. I get along with everyone and everything. Dogs, cats, kids, adults … I even lived with a Raccoon at my prior residence! I LOVE to snuggle and prefer to be right next to you or on your lap if there’s enough room.

Hi, I'm Janet Jackson! I'm 5 months old. I am building my career after having to take some time off. I was quite the dancer when my littermates and I performed as a group. I took "break a leg" seriously and actually broke my leg. LOL Now that my splint is off and the vet says I can take to the stage again, I'm ready to be a solo act. I like being the star of the show and I'm a Dancing Machine! I may not moonwalk like my brother Michael but I do like dancing in the sunshine!

Attention all...he is here! The life of the party has officially arrived

Meet Colonel!! This big head, big pawed boy is the squishiest basset hound mix. He’s got floppy ears, Eeyore eyes and a lazy attitude to match. He’s super gentle and sweet. Colonel is good with dogs and cats. He’s well mannered and aims to please. If you’re looking for a chill, couch buddy and you don’t mind some slobbery water drinkin’, Colonel is your guy.

Meet Stallone – The Italian Stallion (With Absolutely No Coordination)!

When we heard about an emaciated Cane Corso found locked in a crate full of urine and poop on the side of the road, we couldn’t say no. Despite our foster homes being packed for months, Stallone needed us. He had the most soulful eyes and beautiful face, so naturally, we named him after the Italian Stallion!

Well, we got the graceful part wrong! Stallone is gorgeous, and petting him is like petting a soft baby bunny, but watching him walk (or heaven forbid, run) is like watching a baby deer on ice. He’s all awkward hops, crashes, and questionable braking skills!

Hi my name is Penny Sue. I was rescued off of a euthanasia list from a shelter in Memphis, TN. So please consider me a Southern belle ❤️
I’ve been at my foster parents’ home for less than a week, but I’m settling in quite nicely. I have two puppy foster siblings, a resident dog sibling and a resident cat sibling. All have been very nice accepting me into the family. I love being part of a family. They say I’m here until I find my own family, which fine because I really do want my own family!!
I like car rides, walks, playing outside, treats, pets/hugs, belly rubs, and laying on the couch with my foster parents and sibs.

Hi I’m Ellie Joy.

I love to cuddle. That is the best thing that I do! I’m only 3 months old so I really don’t do a lot yet, other than eat, play and sleep which is great right now. But I’m working on learning to do a lot more like potty outside, stay in my crate nice and quiet and play well with others. Oh and I like car ride’s too, especially since I traveled all the way from Memphis.

I would like to meet you very soon and hope you’d love to adopt me after meeting! I’m a pretty precious southern belle ❤️

Unlike a typical pyr, Grim wants to be inside and will let you know when he’s done being outside. He adores attention and happily thumps his tail and rolls over so you can scratch his belly. Grim doesn’t want much, just a home with a cool floor to lay on and all the love, treats and pets you can give.
