Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Ivan and I, along with my 11 siblings (and two moms), spent our entire lives in a shed before getting rescued. Regardless of our start, we are all very sweet puppies! I love, love, love chew toys and tennis balls. I am doing very well on my training, and listen very well! I am a little scared of the big world, but with the right family, I am going to make an awesome family member. New noises and experiences take a bit of getting used to, and I may cry or cower when I get scared. I will look to my family to build my confidence, help me with leash skills, and show me how awesome life really is. I am very affectionate and will cuddle with you or another dog all day long! I am so ready to bond with my forever family.
Please understand that while I am doing well on potty and crate training, I will have accidents and may whine some as I adjust to my new schedule and family. I spent my entire life in a small space before I came to rescue, so patience is key.
ADOPTION FEE: $250 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained)
ADOPTER: MUST have another dog of opposite gender currently in the home for socialization
BIRTHDAY: Est 5-6 months

I AM READY FOR PREAPPROVAL and can go home in late March!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $250 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me!
INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25. We prefer male/female pairings unless both already reside in the home.
DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response.
PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
