My story

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

(Mary) Ellie is a 9-year-old pitbull mix with a loving heart and a strong spirit. She’s been a cherished part of our family since 2018 and formed a deep bond with her former pack partner, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Since his passing, Ellie has experienced anxiety and struggles with the changes in her environment.

Ellie would thrive in a calm, consistent home where she can be the only pet and receive the love and reassurance she craves. While she got along wonderfully with her previous pack member, she has shown aggression toward other dogs and would do best in a pet-free environment. Her behavior with cats is unknown, as she has never been around them.

Our family dynamics have changed significantly this year. We recently welcomed a new baby, and I got married to someone with another pet that Ellie doesn’t get along with. These changes have made it difficult to provide her with the stability and attention she needs to feel secure and happy.

Ellie hasn’t had formal training, but we consulted a behavior trainer who suggested that rehoming her to a more suitable environment would be the best option for her well-being. Despite her challenges, Ellie is a sweet and loyal companion with so much love to give.

Ellie is looking for a patient and understanding home where she can relax, be the center of attention, and enjoy her golden years surrounded by love. Could you be the one to give Ellie the fresh start she deserves?

Mary (Ellie) is participating in The Love Pit's iRehome program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by their foster. All behavior and medical information is provided by their caretaker, and TLP encourages all adopters to verify the information with their caretaker prior to adoption.

Additional adoption info

Adopting from The Love Pit means gaining a family member. It means gaining a network of pit bull advocates, ready to support you and provide you with all of the resources we can. Most importantly, adopting from The Love Pit saves lives. When you adopt, you're saving the life of your own dog, opening space in their foster home for another shelter dog in need, and creating space in the shelter kennel for a dog whose life would have otherwise been on the line. Your thanks for all the good you've done? Lots of love and pit bull kisses to enjoy for years to come.

Go meet their pets

We have monthly adoption events at different locations in Dallas and Fort Worth which are announced on our social media pages and will also be posted on our website.

We will also set up an appointment with you to meet the dog of your choosing.

More about this rescue

We are a foster/volunteer based 501c3 nonprofit dog rescue in Dallas, Texas. Our mission is to reduce the number of homeless pit bull type dogs in shelters and on the streets through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and advocacy.

Our goal is to educate the public about a breed that often falls victim to breed specific legislation, discrimination, and cruelty and promote responsible pet ownership through spay/neuter initiatives, vaccinations, and training resources.
