There is an adorable female, 40# APBT at the Irvine Shelter in Orange County, CA. She is sweet, possibly dog aggressive (hard to tell in shelter situation). Great with people. She is brown (mocha colored, not tan) and probably under a year. She is at risk!!! This shelter killed three nice pits and pit mixes last week. I will rescue her if someone can foster her. Shelter number is 949.724.7740.

Hi. I'm with a non-profit rescue in Hollister, Ca. All of our dogs and cats are shelter rescues. We have a beautiful white spayed female that we are trying to place. "Mimi" came to our shelter pregnant, with the male border collie daddy. They had been on a cattle ranch. I took her home and 2 weeks later she had 15 puppies. All were born alive, but she had a hard time laying on them by accident. She ended up raising 5. All of them were quickly adopted out. (spayed and neutered by 8 weeks) She is great with kids and adults, male or female. My 11 year old daughter was in the whelping pen with her and the only thing she would do is offer kisses. She is very good with other dogs. She hopes that my cats will run so that she can chase them, but they all leave the yard when she is loose. I'm not sure if she would hurt one or not. If she is on leash, my cats will come up and rub against her and she's fine. She is house trained, but is very excited at first to come inside. My fostering kennel is an outdoor run, so she spends most of her time outside. She never barks unless there is something to bark about. She participated in our downtown Christmas parade, wearing light up reindeer antlers, and was sure that everyone there came just to see her. She was passing out kisses to anyone who would let her. I'm not sure of her height, but last vet visit, she was 48 lbs. Her photo is on our web site at www.geocities.com/~2chancerescue Thanks for any help Debi

Subject: RESCUE: Hershey male in NYC
Hershey is a 7 month old red nosed APBT.He is chocolate brown in color with hazel eyes. Right now he is experiencing some sort of skin allergy. He is a very, very , very nervous puppy. He is afraid of his own shadow!!! I think it's because he was beat up by his siblings as a young puppy. He has shown no signs of aggression at all. It's just that his nervous condition makes me feel a little uneasy having him around my 5 & 7 year old boys. I really hate to have to give him up but I feel I have to. I would love to find him a good and LOVING home. I would also like help finding another puppy for myself. Thank you for any help that you can give.

I have a beautiful puppy. She's solid white and totally deaf. She's sweet, needs lots of love. I have a 7 year old son who doesn't exactly know how to be so gentle and so kind with this sweet pup. I do not want her to grow up to be a fighter, or any sad dog person. I love her so much. She is smart, beautiful, totally loving. Please help me find a loving home for her.

Subject: [RESCUE] Shiner, female, Orlando FL
hi we gave an APBT to someone about a year ago and just this past week he called us back and asked if we could take her back because he got laid off from his job and couldn't keep her anymore (he also didn't have a yard that was suitable for her)... we took her back today because we didn't want her going to the humane society, but now we need a home for her... we can't keep her as we already have 4 others... she is 13 months old right now and will probably be around 60 lbs. when full grown and lean... she is spayed also... she needs a good home with someone who will spend enough time with her and knows what he/she is doing... a nice size back yard would be a big plus... she'll be aggressive towards other dogs eventually so it would be a risk for someone who has other dogs or doesn't know how to keep dogs separated... please get back to me as soon as possible at this email address... thanks a lot scott Orlando, FL dog's name: Shiner (female) age: 13 months weight: 55-60 lbs. lean when full grown all white, red nose (chocolate spot on tail), green eyes spayed up-to-date on shots very people friendly will be aggressive towards dogs and other animals when fully matured calm but energetic when played with (which is a requirement; the owner must be willing to spend time with her and play with her often)

Subject: [RESCUE] "Baby Boy" Male in So. Calif......Ontario
Hi. We've had a wonderful, male APBT wander into our lives. If we can find a home for home....that would be great! We are not sure if we can keep him, as we rent our home. "Baby Boy" is approx. 6-9 mos old, choc brown with brindle, white tipped paws and white chest and brown eyes. He is about 30 inches tall and weighs about 35 lbs. We tried to give him to a neighbor...they kept him overnight, and he did very well with the kids. They gave him back.....they already have a pit/bulldog mix. He is hyper....still in puppy stage, he knows the word "NO". He comes when you call him. He seems to love women and loves to play and of course, loves attention. He was very thin when he wandered down our street...he's a great eater! He seemed to cower easily...maybe he was abused. He is now very comfortable with us and rolls over for his belly to be rubbed. He seems to be very trainable. Any help you can offer in finding our "Baby Boy" a permanent home would be appreciated. Thank you!

Subject: RESCUE: Name unknown, female, Baltimore, MD
I was informed of this dog by my neighbors. Tenants in their apartment were evicted and left the dog. * Location is Baltimore area, MD * Name is unknown * Age is guessed at approximately 1 to 2 years of age * Height is approximately 16 inches. Weight is approximately 30 pounds - she is underweight and ribs are showing. She was left without food for a week. * Eyes are brown, nose is black, fur is fawn. She is gorgeous. * She is unspayed - had a litter of pups with her about 16 weeks old but homes were found. If need be I will get her spayed myself. * Vaccination status is unknown, but again if need be I will take care of that myself. * Personality - this girl is extremely timid. Her mannerisms indicate that she was beaten. She is very trusting and melts when any affection is shown to her. She had no idea what a rawhide was until I showed her and held it for her to chew. She is extremely non-agressive, and is very submissive. She is now prancing around the pen she is in with the rawhide in her mouth. She is coming out of her shell since Thursday. I would guess a home with not alot of action. She seems scared of quick movements so kids might not be the best, but I could be wrong on that. She seems to want attention, that's all. She is one of the most beautiful pit bulls I have ever seen. I cannot keep her - I have a great dane and two cats. I don't know if she is cat aggressive or not. She probably has never seen one. Please call 410-519-4703 or e-mail deepbark@erols.com Thanks, Sue Biesecker

Subject: 6 mos unspayed female Pit
Call at 510-601-7689 Oakland, Ca. voice message also 4 rings "Robert" 6mos female unspayed Pit Bull Beautiful blk/gold brindle with flashy white socks & face, was a keeper of her litter, but now decided I have too many dogs & not enuf time/room. She has big wide chest, very healthy, natural ears, fed on premium food frm start. I have parents-Sire:90lbs blk/gold brindle, wi white head/points, Dam:50lbs gold brindle, red nose. These are typy, powerful dogs, very muscular. They are not reg. Pup is pleasant, not traumatised or a biter, but very green, not housebroken-is crate trained. I would like to find a loving, not a fighting home for her. It is best you are prepared for a pitpup, ie.,have a yard, & good fence, as pits should be contained & will get out of a weak fence. This girl will probably be the domineering alpha dog of a group, like her mother. As single dog, she will do best, and grow to be a great serious watchdog. These dogs are very cuddly, attached to their owners when treated well, but have to be managed, monitored carefully around strangers and introduced completely, thoroughly to dog-fearless pref older family children. I do not recommend this line of pit for family wi children, becse of child's friends unknown to dog. If you have the proper facility, please call or e-mail. Placing her properly is more important than anything...I am negot on token price--prefer you come pick up...no airplane requests please.(3rd photo-mother)

Subject: PIT BULL RESCUE
A friend of mine has a pit bull...1 year old male, neuterered, mildly displastic. She is considering rehoming the dog because he is not trustworthy around other animals in play. He is fine with her other dogs and with people. The other day he grabbed hold of the skin on top of a younger dog's head and refused to let go. There was no blood or fight, just that kind of rough play. He is a beautiful golden color with green eyes. Let me know what you think. We are in NJ, and will drive if necessary. Next weekend she and Oscar will be in MA. Adrienne
