My story

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

When we asked Rhino's foster mom what she loves about him, she replied, "Where do I begin?!" Let's start with the fact that your life will never be boring again. Rhino's nickname is "chismoso" because he is always curious about everyone going by and hoping they'll stop to say hi.

When he's not getting the gossip, he's equally thrilled to show off his excellent social skills with your other dogs or create his own canine social club around the neighborhood. A toy session and a sneaky sniff of what you're making on the kitchen counter also sound fun to him.

And if you've been looking for a hiking and adventure buddy, Rhino wants to raise his paw to join you. He's a king of the trails and is even known to do some trail thrifting (he likes to wear a silver chain he found on one of his hikes as bling...). But don't forget to block off some cuddle time in the calendar, because as much as Rhino is lover of fun and play, he's just as happy to lay his lanky self right on top of you for an epic snuggle session.

Rhino is a giant puppy with a big heart, and now all he needs is a home with you!

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.
