Um, hi, excuse me… down here! My name is Hillary. Can I come live with you? I’m a 4 month old mutty pup and I’ve been busy learning all the skills to be a good girl.

A little Scrapalicious in the sunshine to cap off your Tuesday ☀️ Scrappy is a 2 year old Bully whose greatest passions are hoarding toys in his crate (he prefers to call it “collecting”), finding sunbeams to soak in, and testing out all the soft surfaces in the house to determine which is the coziest. This meatball with an underbite is looking for a forever home! Apply to adopt Scrapalicious today!!

We have to confess that we made a mistake. When we named Priscilla we thought that was perfect because we call her Prissy & well…. She is kind of prissy. However, as we’ve gotten to know her her true personality has revealed itself & we realize that we should’ve named her Couch Potato. If you can’t find her, she’s on the couch. If you are also on the couch she must be touching you. She doesn’t sit on your lap. She lies against your chest so that her paws are by your face & if you have the nerve to stop petting she pokes you in the chin. It’s adorable. What is less adorable is the dirty look you get when you ask her to get off the couch.
Priscilla loves toys, dogs & treats. She no longer has a tail ( she had terrible happy tail so it had to be docked) & now when she wiggles it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.
She’s around 5 months old & will be fairly petite when she is full grown!
So, if you love the pittie personality apply to adopt our Prissy Couch Potato today!! You will never stop laughing!! 😉

Good morning from Punkin. She has a stick. Just wanted to make sure you saw it.

Punkin is 45lbs and 1yr old. She loves being with her people and having dog friends. Her hobbies include zoomies in the park, sitting on the patio with her foster and hoping for a little snack to fall from the table, snuggling on the couch, and of course, finding the best sticks in the backyard. Adopt Punkin!

No one is happier than Pepino that the sun is shining ☀️ But to be honest, there generally is no one happier than Pepino about anything in life! This guy is a happy go lucky, it’s a great day to have a great day, positive attitude type of pup!! He likes to play with other dogs, loves kids, is happy to live with cats, and friendly with everyone he meets. But you know what would make him the absolute happiest he’s ever been? A forever home! Pepino came to us at a few days old as a bottle baby, and at 6 months old, he has been surrounded by love his whole life, but we know he deserves the joy of a forever home 🏡 ❤️🐾 If you’re ready to share a forever home with this big lump of love, apply to adopt Pepino! And if the time isn’t right for you to welcome him into your home, share him so he can find his match!!

The Miami Valley’s Largest Pit Bull Rescue

Adopt a Pit Rescue, Inc. is the largest Pit Bull rescue in the Miami Valley. We save, rehabilitate, & rehome dogs from local kill shelters. Some of our dogs have physical scars from their past, but many more have scars that we cannot see. They all need our help, through no fault of their own.

Founded in 2013 to rescue and rehabilitate Pit Bulls & other "bully breeds", we have since adopted out over 2500 dogs, and currently have around 150 adoptable dogs in over 80 foster homes. The majority of our dogs come from high kill shelters, where they are quite literally on death row. We focus on dogs who are deemed "unadoptable" at the shelters due to injuries, illness, because they are scared, or simply because of their breed. ​ We are a foster home based rescue. We do not have a shelter or kennels. All of our dogs live in foster homes as part of a family until they find their forever home. We supply all of the food, vetting, crates, and other supplies for all of our foster dogs. Our foster homes supply the love. We rely on donations and adoption fees to cover our costs and to be able to continue to save these wonderful dogs! We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so your donations are tax-deductible. For questions about our Adoption Process, visit our Frequently Asked Question page here: http://www.adoptapitrescue.org/faqs.html
