My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

She's beauty and shes grace, she loves to sleep on a pillow beside your face! Meet Maya the 2-year-old (affectionately nicknamed meatloaf) girl you have been looking for. She is house-trained, spent 2 weeks at a sleepaway training camp, loves snuggles, and is called to the water much like Moana. Maya is great with our older daughter, who is 9, but has not spent much time with smaller children so I cannot say how she would handle that. Our neighbor's cat loves to hang in the tree right above our fence right out of smelling range, so her experiences with cats have also been untested and frustrating. Her perfect day would be slowly waking up on your pillow, heading to her breakfast bowl, snuggling on the couch, heading out for a walk or swim in the local pond, then going back to the sofa for a bone and more snuggles and maybe the latest episode of real housewives.

She is housebroken and doesn't think much of the crate, but once you have felt the sweet comfort of the couch or king size bed, how could you ever go back? She has a dog bed in front of the fire that is a steady third place for favorite spots to be in the house. Her two weeks of sleep-away training camp taught her to recall, sit, down, stay, heel, go to your place, and come. Our trainer has even offered to do a free at-home visit with Maya and her new family!

She is currently in a home with our other female dog and has shown she is not much for sharing bones or treats. She loves to play with other dogs, but not so much when bones or food is around. She would thrive in a house where she got to be the only lady dog of the home. She is still a young dog with a medium energy level, so one nice walk or play session in the yard a day makes for a happy Maya! She has not mastered the art of fetch and is much more interested in walking with you or exploring her surroundings. Maya would be a great addition to your home and has so much love and snuggles to give if given the chance!

Maya is participating in The Love Pit's iRehome program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by their foster. All behavior and medical information is provided by their caretaker, and TLP encourages all adopters to verify the information with their caretaker prior to adoption.

Additional adoption info

Adopting from The Love Pit means gaining a family member. It means gaining a network of pit bull advocates, ready to support you and provide you with all of the resources we can. Most importantly, adopting from The Love Pit saves lives. When you adopt, you're saving the life of your own dog, opening space in their foster home for another shelter dog in need, and creating space in the shelter kennel for a dog whose life would have otherwise been on the line. Your thanks for all the good you've done? Lots of love and pit bull kisses to enjoy for years to come.

Go meet their pets

We have monthly adoption events at different locations in Dallas and Fort Worth which are announced on our social media pages and will also be posted on our website.

We will also set up an appointment with you to meet the dog of your choosing.

More about this rescue

We are a foster/volunteer based 501c3 nonprofit dog rescue in Dallas, Texas. Our mission is to reduce the number of homeless pit bull type dogs in shelters and on the streets through rescue, rehabilitation, education, and advocacy.

Our goal is to educate the public about a breed that often falls victim to breed specific legislation, discrimination, and cruelty and promote responsible pet ownership through spay/neuter initiatives, vaccinations, and training resources.
