Bullet

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Heath, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bullet is a 6 year old pit mix, who was rescued in Texas, where he was found by a rescue in a cemetery. He lived with us in Oklahoma and was the sweetest pup. Our family was relocated after a military contract ended, which resulted in the home being packed up. After this, Bullet became reactive. Upon moving to Ohio, bullet did a 2 full week board and train to work on house skills and his reactivity. He continues to be reactive with others and pets. He bit a family member at this time- skin was not broke. He does not do well with cats (got into a fight with one) and does not do well with people. Once he is comfortable like he is with us, he is such a good boy and so sweet. However he is reactive towards our toddler and began to start lunging and deep barking at her. We want to keep her safe, as well as him. We’re looking for a home that can allow him to play, get his energy out (he is high energy!), and provide him love without having fears of him.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Pataskala, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Ivy Ivy is a 1.5-year-old, fully house-trained dog with a loving and affectionate personality. She is very people-oriented and enjoys being close to her family. Ivy has a higher energy level and would thrive in a home where she has space to run, play, and receive regular exercise. Ivy has been around neighbor animals and has not shown any signs of aggression. She has done very well with our teenagers; however, she has not had exposure to younger children. Due to a recent move into an apartment and increased time away from home, we feel Ivy would be happier and better suited in a home that can provide more space, structure, and daily interaction. This decision is being made with Ivy’s long-term happiness and well-being as our top priority.

Story
Name: Kenny Gender: Male Age: 3 years old Current Weight: 47 pounds Expected Adult Size: Medium (25-50 lbs) Breed: Mixed Pit Bull/Jack Russell Energy Level: High Dog Friendly: Yes, and requires another dog in the home Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: Yes to kids 12 years old or older Apartment Friendly: No Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence required, 5'-6' height required.  No electric fence as Kenny has a high prey drive for yard critters Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home/Adopter: Kenny thrives on a calm home and a routine. He needs to be able to get his energy out by going on walks, playing with doggie friends, and playing with his people. He loves to snuggle in bed next to his person at night. He is a great sleeper! Kenny is a shy guy and still working on his confidence, so he will need an adopter with a little bit of patience as he transitions to a new home. What makes this dog special: Kenny has a heart full of love and a playful spirit to match! This affectionate boy is a champion cuddler, always ready to shower you with hugs and kisses. He is smart, knows his commands, and thrives on adventure- whether it's going for walks or romping around with his medium and large foster siblings. This boy is ready for a person/family that loves hiking, running, and FUN. To ensure his safety and happiness, Kenny needs a home with a 5-foot fence, no cats due to his strong prey drive, older children and a doggie sibling. He is an energetic pup who loves to explore, making daily walks a must and playtime with doggie pals. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, enthusiastic companion, Kenny might be your perfect match. He is up for a car ride at any time. Kenny is the entire package. Incredibly sweet, highly intelligent, super loving, and an affectionate workout partner. Kenny is looking for a place to enjoy his life with a new active person/family. Kenny is fully housebroken, walks well on a leash, and loves nothing more than spending his time with his person or persons, whether that be playing or cuddling on the couch. Kenny thrives on a routine. He is a unique dog, and we are hoping for that special person/family to come through and give this sweet boy a chance at the loving home he so richly deserves. Kenny's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved. ##1626790##
