My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Have you ever encountered a dog with soulful eyes? You have now. Darling Balue has cracked the code to transmitting love and affection through his gaze, and he would like to share his secrets with you!

Balue is a sweet and sensitive fellow who would love to offer you his belly for your patting pleasure. He does a delightful "turtle stuck on its back" maneuver when he finds a particularly intriguing spot on which to scritch his spine. If Balue were a human, he'd have a lifetime membership to The Huntington, where he'd visit on weekday mornings to stroll the quiet gardens before the crowds roll in. A twenty minute sniffy stroll and then back inside for snacks sounds just fine. You won't catch him out pounding the trails or scoping out the hippest and newest brewery in LA, but a cup of tea and NYT crossword puzzle by the fire sounds quite nice. While Balue would absolutely love a small yard where he could putter in the garden and listen to the birds, we think he'd be happy with lowkey apartment life too.

This smart cookie has completed training with our friends at the Paws for Life prison training program in Lancaster. If you're in the market for a scholar and a gentleman (and honestly, who isn't?) Balue would like to inquire about how many napping spots your home can accommodate.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Angel City Pit Bulls has dogs who demonstrate stable, fun, people-oriented, outgoing personalities- making them fantastic family dogs. We have a wide range of energy levels, so whether you are looking for a running partner, potential “therapy dog”, or a couch potato, we will typically have a dog that will fit the bill.

Our goal is to provide you with a thoughtful and personalized adoption experience. We will work with you to find a dog that is right for your situation. Many of the ACPB dogs live in multi-dog foster homes, and enjoy the company of other well-matched dogs and some even with well-matched cats. We are happy to assist with family pet introductions.

Our adoption center is open by appointment only. To get started, we ask that you fill out a brief application (link is above). Following that, you will receive an email with a link to set up a call with our team to begin the match-making and adoption process. We'll set up a meet and greet for the dog(s) you are interested in, including introductions to your family pets if needed. When you are ready to move forward with the adoption, we will arrange a home delivery to help you get settled in with the newest member of your family.

Resources, support, and education are always available, and you can expect an extensive level of knowledge and support from ACPB for the lifetime of your dog.

We ask for an adoption donation of $250 for dogs over 6 months old, and $350 for a puppy under 6 months old. This non-taxdeductible contribution assists us in continuing our mission to help more dogs in need.
