My story

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

Meet Rye!

Age: Approximately 8 years

Breed: Black Pit Bull

Arrived: March 2024

Rye is a mellow and affectionate senior Pit Bull who’s looking for a loving home to enjoy his golden years ??. He’s a laid-back guy who loves his walks and craves affection from his human friends.

Personality:

Mellow and Laid Back: Rye is easygoing and enjoys a relaxed lifestyle.

Walks: He likes going on walks and is observant of his surroundings on the trail. While he initially pulls on the leash, he does settle
down and only pulls when he sees other dogs.

Affectionate: Rye loves to be petted and enjoys spending time with his humans.

Gentle with Treats: He takes treats gently and knows how to sit on command.

Car Friendly: Rye is great in the car and is a good travel companion.

Playful: He likes balls and enjoys a bit of playtime, though he’s not overly active.

Playgroup Behavior:

Rye is selective with other dogs and becomes reactive in the yard. He may redirect onto other dogs and over-correct when another dog humps him. He would do best in a home where he can be the only pet or with very careful introductions to other dogs.

Looking For:

Rye would thrive in a quiet home where he can enjoy his walks, receive plenty of affection, and relax in a calm environment. He’s a sweet, easygoing companion who will bring a lot of love and joy to the right family.

More about this shelter

Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
