LYLA

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Lyla arrived at TJO a little worse for wear, but with no shortage of sweetness. She's still currently working on gaining weight and fixing up some skin issues, but she's a loveable gal who has more interest in people than toys, and loves getting to play with other dogs! She can be intense with her food, so it's important that she's left alone while she eats to avoid any unnecessary sense of conflict. OTHER PETS: Lyla got along with other dogs and invited play appropriately, but she doesn't quite understand when other dogs aren't interested in joining her. She can get overexcited, and that can be overwhelming for some dogs. Her best match would likely be another dog that can match her energy level and play style, while also being tolerant as she learns how to interact. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with dogs with skin issues that can be dedicated to maintaining Lyla's health would be ideal in order to keep her comfortable throughout her life. [Some Experience] KIDS: Lyla can be mouthy when being scratched and is intense about her food. She would do best in a home with children that are old enough to respect her boundaries and allow her to approach when ready. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lyla is a sweet, wiggly girl who would be a great partner for walks around the block! While she loves hanging out with her people, it's important for her to get both physical exercise and mental enrichment to make sure she doesn't create unsafe entertainment. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Lyla arrived at TJO with an ear and skin infection that she's still being treated for. It's likely that her skin issues are the result of allergies, so it's possible that she may need on-going medicated baths or a restricted diet to maintain her coat health. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Lyla is still at the beginning of her positive reinforcement training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and support while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Lyla not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself while bonding with her guardian! [Moderate] GROOMING: While Lyla has short fur, she may require medicated baths every so often to maintain her skin health. [Minimal]January 15, 2025, 9:11 am

EINSTEIN

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

OTHER PETS: Einstein is excited with dogs and showed some rude behavior towards other male dogs. He would likely do best with a tolerant, confident, female dog who will help him learn appropriate dog to dog behavior with proper monitoring and supervision. As with all our dogs, Einstein should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-by-Case (Must Meet First) **NO CATS**]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Einstein is uncomfortable with some handling, intense about his food & has shown pushy/rude behavior toward male dogs. His best fit would be with a person who has experience building confidence in dogs and supporting them while they learn appropriate behavior with positive reinforcement. [Some Experience] KIDS: Einstein gets excited during play, becomes intense & does not always settle appropriately afterward. He is also uncomfortable with some handling, intense about food & has a high activity level. Einstein's best fit would be in an active home with older teens and no cats. As with all our adoptable dogs, Einstein should meet any minor humans he would be living with prior to adoption.[15+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Einstein is a smart, playful dog with energy to spare. He would do best with multiple daily walks and positive reinforcement training to continue building his confidence and skills. With appropriate positive training, he would be great at dog sports or being an adventure companion to his humans. A combination of mental enrichment and playtime will help meet his needs without overstimulating him. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Einstein bond with his new owner, build his confidence, learn basic cues and skills, possibly help him feel more comfortable with other dogs, and play with humans politely, and open up a variety of activities for exercise and recreation. Einstein is observant and catches on quickly even though we believe he has not yet benefitted from positive reinforcement training. [Moderate]January 30, 2025, 7:14 pm

GANDOLPH

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Gandolph initially came to TJO in May of 2024, underweight and wary of new people, but with time and love from his previous owner he has come out of his shell beautifully! He loves to play with both people and other dogs, though he can play a bit too roughly for some. OTHER PETS: Gandolph would likely do well living with other dogs, but because he tends to prefer a rough & rowdy play style, he should meet any other dogs he would be living with to ensure a good fit. Gandolph has also previously lived with cats, and seemed to do well with them! Slow introductions will help ensure a good match. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Gandolph may still be timid with new people, and will do best with someone who has the patience to help him settle into his new home; any prior experience helping dogs build confidence would be helpful in making Gandolph feel safe. [Some Experience] KIDS: Gandolph is a strong dog that can get a little overexcited with his favorite people--often jumping up and pulling forward on the leash to meet them. Additionally, he's a big lover of food! Dropped a piece of food in the kitchen? Nope, Gone! But he hasn't shown signs of resource guarding during his stay here, so he would likely do well with kids in the home, as long as they're not likely to be knocked over easily. [12+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Gandolph may prove to have more energy than he is currently exhibiting in the kennels once he is settled in and feels safe in his new home. He enjoys spending time outside and using his nose to explore the world around him. Multiple daily walks and plenty of mental enrichment would be ideal for Gandolph. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Gandolph gain confidence and build trust with his new owner, as well as help him learn important skills. Gandolph can be nervous around new things, and may need extra support and confidence-building in a new home and environment. With the support of his owner and some patience, Gandolph will be able to tackle any challenge set before him. He currently pulls on the leash and jumps up on tables, but nothing that can't be helped with a bit of positive reinforcement! [Minimal]February 18, 2025, 11:55 am

DIOR

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Dior is a lot of energy in a little package! She is very wiggly, loves chasing and playing with toys, and would love to sniff all the things as she helps you meet your daily step goal. She sometimes doesn't know what to do with all her energy when she gets excited, so she jumps, but she is learning how to show her excitement in other ways.OTHER PETS: Dior prefers calmer dogs who do not jump on her and gives appropriate feedback when she is jumped on. She is mouthy with play and exhibits some barrier reactivity, but is loose and neutral meeting dogs when not kenneled. A playful dog that gives and takes feedback well would be a good fit for Dior. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Experience with a barrier reactive (barriers can be doors, gates, the leash) dog would be most helpful for Dior.[Some Experience]KIDS: Dior is a friendly, outgoing dog who is sometimes mouthy during play and gets excited easily. She is learning not to be so jumpy, but her best home would be with one without smaller humans. As with all our adoptable dogs, Dior should meet any minor humans she would be living with prior to adoption.[12+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Dior has a lot of energy and will need mental enrichment and physical exercise to be her best self; multiple daily walks, dog sports, supervised outdoor play, training/learning new things and enrichment toys should be used in combination to set Dior up for success. [Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Dior bond with her new owner as well as help her learn important skills. Positive reinforcement training itself is a good mental exercise, great way to bond, and possibly a gateway to fun activities like dog sports (agility, lure coursing, etc) and accompanying her humans on adventures.

SMOKE

Pit Bull Terrier American Bulldog

Male, Adult

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Smoke is a big dog that loves to roam around the yard and sniff out whatever news he might have missed! He prefers to be independent in regards to other animals and people, but will still seek out affection when he wants it. He would likely do best in a semi-active home as an only dog, but he does greet other dogs calmly on-leash during walks!OTHER PETS: While Smoke was calm around other dogs, he didn't show much interest in initiating play and seemed to prefer being independent. He would likely be happier as an only dog in a home environment. [Only Pet]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Smoke would likely do best in an active home with someone that has experience positivley managing strong dogs. [Some Experience]KIDS: Smoke is a dog that likes to show his love in a big way. He may jump up sometimes to greet people, and currently pulls on the leash during walks. He would likely do best with kids that are old enough to be able to handle him and not be knocked over easily. [10+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: While Smoke does enjoy the time he gets to relax, he's also fond of spending time exercising with his people. With further positive reinforcement training, he would likely be a great candidate for more adventurous activities like hiking, or even dog sports like weight pull with vet approval. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Depending on his new family's preferences, Smoke may need help learning how to walk loosely on leash and greet people from the ground. Positive reinforcement training will help Smoke not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner. [Moderate]GROOMING: [Minimal]March 7, 2025, 2:53 pm
