My story

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

Dopey is an adorable and vivacious American Pit Bull Terrier mix with an estimated birthdate of 12/30/2022. He is a beautiful blue brindle and white pattern. He was originally found stray by a local community member who did her due diligence in searching for his owners, but no one came forward and now he's on the hunt for a new home.

Dopey did arrive with a severe skin infection and chronic skin inflammation which he is being treated for. He will likely always need allergy management care, which includes costco salmon and sweet potato kibble and a daily apoquel pill. The appquel may be a lifelong treatment and it runs approximately $90 per month.

Dopey is highly athletic dog who will be able to accomplish any goal with a dedicated and competent handler. He would love to be involved in basic dog sports like disc, fast cat, or potentially bikejorn etc, but he would also be happy to just spend time with an active person who walks and hikes regularly. Dopey is friendly to dogs but can be over the top and needs to work on his greeting skills so he's not overwhelming to the other dogs. He does have prey drive and chases cats and small animals, so he is not suitable in a home with small animals. He is also not a good candidate for the dog park because his self control skills and lack of social awareness will be magnified and negatively impacted in an uncontrolled group setting.

Dopey loves all people he meets and he's great with kids. He is also crate trained and working on leash training and finishing touches on house training.

Dopey's adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, and apoquel. He comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.

Thank you for checking out our boy!

More about this rescue

From the day we could talk we told our pets more than we ever told our parents. We took the long route to see the kitty in the window down the street. We stopped even when we were late to pet the dog. We grew up and we saw what the world does to those who can't defend themselves. We are here to change that.

Ethical rescue, including fully vetting every animal and carefully placing them all into homes matched to their physical and mental needs is what we do.

Respecting all life, both animal and human, while retaining an underlying goal of keeping animals in their homes. and fostering a sense of community between local shelters and rescues is how we do it.
