Story
Gemma is a beautiful, two year old pit bull. She is from Arizona, where she was severely neglected by her previous family. We found her in Scottsdale through The Desert Dog Project (thedesertdogprojct.org) rescue, which is run by a friend. At first, Gemma seemed like the perfect dog for us so we drove her home, to Minnesota. Gemma is clingy and has a lot of anxiety due to her previous neglect and abandonment. She needs a warm, loving home without other animals. We have trained her to leave our 3 cats alone, but it took some time and work, and from time to time, we still see the look in her eyes telling us she is thinking about attacking She seems to covet women over men but easily latches onto whoever gives her positive energy and attention. A perfect day to Gemma is to snuggle with you/at your side in bed, on the couch or simply playing shadow, as she follows you around the house. We are moving and cannot bring her sweet self with us. She is young but overall a really good dog.

Minnetrista, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Odie's ideal home would be a busy hunting home or even a veteran that needs a full time Velcro friend. Odie has not gotten a fair start and sadly has been in 3 homes now and needs to finally find his forever home. He came to our home from a breeder with field training and loves to chase the birds, and is a good pointer and retriever. He is also an over grown lap dog that loves to cuddle, give kisses, play tug of war and fetch. Now the down side, he has proven that he would do best in a home with no other dogs or at the least no other male dogs. He would also be best with no children. He has proven to be ok with cats. Is house broken and crate trained. Neutered and fully vetted. He will be 2 in May. Adoption fees negotiable for the right home.

Dakota

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Mound, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dakota was adopted in 2019 from a rescue that brought her up from Alabama. She loves everyone and everything. She is obsessed with comfort so she needs a nice dog bed, human bed, or pile of blankets to sleep on. She truly believes she's a lap dog and will never leave your side. Here are the cons... if you cannot provide your undivided attention or a comfy place to sleep she will follow you and cry. She also has anxiety towards anyone touching her paws. You can't clip her nails so she has to take 2 different sedation medications and use anesthesia to be out under for a nail trim. She truly is a good dog but she needs someone who can give her enormous amounts of love and patience.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Maggie is an energetic young female that is sweet and smart. Maggie was in a rough situation where owner had too many dogs and could not afford vet care. She had a litter of puppies and was a great mom. We got her spayed and updated on vaccinations so she is very much ready for a forever home! Maggie is a perfect size, not too big and not too small. 😊 She loves attention and is very affectionate. Maggie does great w/bigger dogs and would be fine with older children. She is housetrained and does well on a leash.

Aero

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 10 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $470 + taxes Location: Foster Home Aero is a lively, playful pup with plenty of personality and some seriously impressive moves! He's full of energy and absolutely loves going on walks, making him a great match for an active home. Aero's enthusiasm means he can get a little jumpy, so he'd do best with older kids who can match his playful spirit. He's fantastic with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions. After a while doing slow introductions, he is a cat guy that would do well with a dog savvy cat. Aero is highly food-motivated and responds well to redirection, making him a quick learner and a GREAT snuggler!!! If you're ready to welcome a fun-loving, energetic companion into your life, Aero is the perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Aero, please fill out an application on the Carver Scott website today!
