Hi! My foster mom calls me Robert Redford bc I’m a distinguished handsome boy and I have a gorgeous red hue to my coat!

I’m a very happy boy and I love to go for long walks. I also love practicing my obedience skills and earning lots of yummy treats for being so good! I just love to please my people and make them proud of me.

My perfect day includes a long fall hike, learning new fun tricks, and curling up for a relaxing nap with my people. I also don’t mind bath time bc to be honest I just love when my people are paying attention to me. I’m very tolerant of them doting on me and playing with me.

I am create trained, go to the door when it's time to go outside and ride great shotgun. I know all of my basic commands, and I'm eager to learn more. 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. She’s a micro bully (bulldog) and she’ll provide you with all the little gremlin noises your heart desires. She’s good with dogs and cats and LOOOOVES basketballs (random, we know). She sits (hilarious) for treats. She takes treats gently, she’s good in the car, potty trained and not destructive (except those delicious basketballs….).

This beautiful 10 month old, per the vet’s guess, girl is Vittoria, a 60-lb Great Pyrenees mix who is ready to find her forever family!

Vittoria is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. She loves having fun, but she’s also a total cuddle bug who would happily snuggle up with her people. Vittoria is good with other dogs, great with kids, house trained, crate trained, great in the car, good on the leash, and knows basic commands.

She’s a wonderful young girl who would love a family that will give her all the love, attention, and adventures she deserves. She has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s very best friend.

Meet Brutus! ❤️ This sweet senior boxer mix still has plenty of love and life to share! He's dog, cat, and kid friendly, and his favorite game is a good round of fetch. Brutus does struggle with separation anxiety, so he'd love a home where someone understands his need for a little extra reassurance and companionship. He's a loyal, loving guy looking for a family to spend his golden years with. Could that be you?

Hi, my name is BottleCap! Like the candy, I'm sweet and a little tangy! I am about 1 year old and I am a lean, 50-ish pounds. I think I'm a perfect lap dog size. I'm not too big, not too small. I'm JUUSSST RIGHT!

Hi, I’m Pippi Longstocking, a 5-month-old little lady who is mostly Jack Russell Terrier weighing about 10 pounds. And while I may be small, I’ve got plenty of personality packed into this tiny body! ❤️
I’m a girl who likes to take things at my own pace. Like many small dogs, I believe in slow introductions when meeting new friends. Once I’m comfortable, I do well with other dogs and am perfectly happy giving them their space.

But my people? Oh, I LOVE my people. I’m happiest when I’m near my humans and getting all the love and attention I can soak up.

Meet Sugar Cane! A wonderful companion who's as well-mannered as he is lovable! This smart pup knows all the basics, including sit, down, and stay with both verbal and hand signals. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and happily settles on his bed when given the "place" or "spot" command. When it's time to unwind, he’ll quietly retreat to his kennel on cue for "quiet time." He even has a fun trick up his sleeve—he’ll happily offer a paw for a "patty cake" shake!
On walks, this enthusiastic pup may start out excited to explore, but quickly settles into a relaxed pace and walks nicely with a loose leash.

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!

Meet Cruiser Burt, the neighborhood celebrity, professional goofball, and part-time lap dog! Cruiser loves going on neighborhood sniffaris, where he investigates scents, practices leash manners, and has an ever-growing fan club. His biggest claim to fame? Being the undisputed fan favorite at the bus stop. This boy loves to chase, wrestle, and play with other pups, but he's also perfectly happy to settle in with a good bone. When the evening rolls around and his puppy batteries run low, he transforms into a professional lap napper. A few things to love about Cruiser Burt: He's potty trained and crate trained! He's good with children! He enjoys playing with other pups.

Meet Saylor!

​Saylor is a 6-month-old Lab mix with a heart as big as her sweet personality! Originally brought here from Alabama after being displaced by recent hurricane flooding, this resilient girl hasn't let her rough start slow her down. She is ready to find her forever family!

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

Meet Lilly. Part bull, part fruit bat ( seriously look at her ears), all pouty lip. This dainty pittie girl is hilarious. When she gets excited she tippy taps around the house. She loves other dogs & loves snuggles especially in the sun. So adorable!
Lilly is a sweetheart and she will make an excellent addition to any home especially one who loves couch snuggles.

Beautiful Bodhia is ready for her new adventure with her new family. She’s the most couch cuddler-buddy, supergoof of a girl, you’ll ever know. One of her current favorite past-times is to chase my cats, until they stop running, and then she just throws her rump in the air with that silly play stance and comedic rambling of hers. She does exceptional out in public and on a leash. We’ve got to see her around multiple dogs and she has done wonderful with them. The vet says she is approximately one year-old and she is about 40 lbs. She does wonderful in the cage while we’re at work, and has the silliest round of the Zumiez when you get home-she’s an absolute joy.

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.

Meet Dollop!
