Sweetie is a lovable 5 year old Pitbull mix! Sweetie was relinquished to Buddies and Pals due to her previous owner being unable to care for her. This girl would do best in a home WITH a male owner, but she still enjoys being around females. Sweetie has playful energy but still loves to cuddle with her foster family!

Story
Petunia is around 3 years old. She came from TX to a shelter in Portland, Oregon, where my son adopted her. He lives in a very busy area, a lot of foot traffic. Petunia has anxiety - she is scared of strangers, cars, outside noises (when she is outside) so taking her for walks was/is a challenge. In Portland, she enjoyed visits to dog parks and played well with other dogs. She came to me in October 2024 as both my son and I thought she would thrive in a suburban setting with a back yard to alleviate her anxiety on walks. She has a congenital condition where lymphatic fluid pools in her right front leg. This is stable. As she gets to know you, she becomes affectionate. She waits on the bed to get under the covers with you, she will rest her chin on your knee to let you know she wants to go out. She loves to fetch, but doesn't always bring it back. She is vigilant and spends hours watching the world. She needs to be the only pet in the house.

Story
Meet Dorothea “Thea” Dorothea, affectionately called Thea, is a 4-year-old pittie with the most perfect radar ears and a soft pink, boopable nose that perfectly matches her gentle spirit. Her journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s shaped her into one of the most quietly special dogs you’ll ever meet. Thea came into Animal Control as part of the “Eras Crew,” a group of 13 dogs rescued from a heartbreaking situation. She was just 6 months old, underweight, terrified, and unfamiliar with kindness. Fast forward to today, and Thea has blossomed in foster care into a sweet, silly, and deeply loving companion… on her own timeline. And that timeline is important. Thea is the kind of dog who doesn’t rush trust—she builds it. She needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands that it may take **several months (up to 9)** for her to fully relax and show her true self. But once she does? You’ll get to experience the magic that is Thea: her goofy zoomies, her soft snuggles, and her hilarious little personality quirks that make every day brighter. One thing that helps Thea feel safe and confident is other dogs, she absolutely *thrives* with them. Because of this, **Thea must go to a home with at least one other friendly dog**. She looks to her canine companions for reassurance, playtime, and comfort, and they help her navigate the world with growing confidence. She’s: * Wonderful with other dogs (her happy place!) * Neutral with cats * A perfect angel in her crate * A chill girl who enjoys both playtime and cozy snuggles Because Thea is still learning that the world is a safe place, she can be fearful of new people and environments. A calm, predictable home will help her continue to grow. She may do okay with respectful children who understand her need for space and patience. Thea isn’t an “instant dog”. She’s a **slow-burn best friend**. She’s for someone who finds joy in small wins, who understands that trust is earned, and who will celebrate every brave step she takes. If you’re willing to give her the time and love she deserves, Thea will give you something truly special in return: a bond built on trust, resilience, and unconditional love. *She’s been waiting a long time. Maybe she’s been waiting for you.* Dorothea's adoption fee is waived. If you have specific questions before applying, please feel free to email taylor@playersforpits.com If you are interested in adopting please go directly to www.playersforpits.com to apply. Inquires without specific questions will not be replied to.

Story
If you don't see a dog currently with Players for Pits that interests you, please consider fostering. There are over 300 amazing dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control (the shelter most our adoptable dogs come from) and we can match you with a good fit. The rescue covers the cost of all vetting and supplies needed for fostering and we will connect you with a support system of team members/volunteers from our rescue so you are not alone in the process. Fostering saves lives! When you decide to foster, you are temporarily opening your home up to a dog in need who may otherwise have been euthanized. We have many teirs of fosters. The first is "revolving fosters" meaning they take on one or two dogs at a time and when that dog or dog(s) get adopted, they get ready for a new foster to keep to cycle of saving lives going! Another large part of our rescue is Vacation Fosters who do short term fostering. To foster for us, we currently require you be within an hour of Roselle, Illinois where our main vet is located. But if you live out of state or too far, there will be a rescue local to you that could use your help! To register to foster with us, please start by doing a "Foster Sign Up" linked below. This will give us a brief summary of who you are without wasting your time in case you are too far or may be a better fit for another rescue. To sign up, visit https://www.playersforpits.com/foster or contact info@playersforpits.com for more information.

Story
Meet Squeak: Your Future Best Friend Squeak is a 1-year-old pit mix with a striking red/chestnut/orange coat, stunning hazel eyes, and legs that go on for days! This handsome boy is full of energy, love, and potential. He was found as a stray back in March 2024, covered in cuts and scars on his right side. Although we don’t know what caused the injuries, they’ve healed beautifully, and Squeak is now ready to move forward with a fresh start. When Squeak was first rescued, he was understandably scared, but over time, he has blossomed into a playful, affectionate companion. He still has a bit of a “stranger danger” side, so slow introductions to new people are essential. But once he knows you, Squeak will shower you with love, excitement, and loyalty. He loves his people and enjoys being by your side, whether it's helping out in the yard, playing with his dog friends, or simply cuddling at the end of the day. Speaking of his dog friends, Squeak has a great time playing and socializing with other dogs. He thrives in playgroups, getting along with most dogs and matching their energy level—so if you have a playful, energetic dog, Squeak would be the perfect fit! He knows to respect dogs that prefer their space, and he’s not shy about being a cuddly, napping companion when the playtime winds down. He is best suited for a household with a dog that can keep up with his energy and a stable routine, as he can get easily excited and a bit jumpy at times. Although Squeak’s high-energy personality might not make him the best fit for families with young kids or chaotic households, older kids who can handle his enthusiastic nature would likely enjoy his playful antics. Squeak loves to be active, running around, chasing balls, and finding sticks to carry around. He’s also a fan of bones and will happily chew on one while you go about your day. After a fun day of adventures, Squeak will curl up beside you and give you all the cuddles you need. Squeak is working on his basic commands and crate training, and he's doing exceptionally well! He’s learned that going into his crate means a treat, and he’s starting to show good self-control, especially when it comes to waiting for high-value treats. He’s a smart boy and would thrive in an environment where he can continue to learn and grow, particularly with activities like agility training. He’s an eager student who loves bonding with his people, and if you’re looking for a buddy to spend your days with, Squeak is your guy! Three words to describe Squeak? Happy, active, and lover of sticks! Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home? Fill out an application here: https://www.playersforpits.com/adoption-survey.
