Male, Adult

Goleta, CA

Size

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

Details

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Atlas is 4 years going on 5. I adopted him around October-November 2020 so me and him have always been close. Due to unfortunate circumstances I need to rehome him. He's very loveable. Loves his scratches and will paw at you for more. Loves to play tug of war and go crazy with toys. I'm looking for someone who has experience with the Bulldog breed as they can be quite stubborn and have their health concerns when they get older. Preferably a home with no pets or kids. He was never brought around too many so I don't know how he would act.

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I rescued this sweet boy about six months ago and am heartbroken to have to say goodbye. Unfortunately due to health and financial issues, I can no longer give him the life he deserves. He is smart, playful, cuddly and all around wonderful. He is possessive of his human and needs to work on his manners due to me spoiling him, but is both treat and affection motivated and can turn around in no time. He loves adventures and snuggling equally, so I hope to find someone like minded for him to share a forever home.

CORDELIA

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 10 yrs 3 mos

Ventura, CA

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

HI - I'M CORDELIA! I'm a happy and compact 9-year-old bluenose pittie-mix girl with a wonderful smile! I weigh about 45 lbs, and am a sweet and independent girl. I don't act like I'm 9 as I love to play fetch and retrieve the ball - I'm very active! I have been waiting for a couple years for the right home! If you adopt me, I'll be your shadow and follow you wherever you go. I would do best in a home with a single person who can be my devoted companion, or an active couple who loves to walk, hike, and go on outings. My favorite thing to do is play ball! I am obsessed with playing fetch so would do best in a home with a yard - if at all possible, though it's not a necessity if you can take me someplace to play! I prefer to be the only dog but that doesn't mean I should be overlooked, because I am such a good girl. I'm not great with cats, however! Much like cats, I love attention and affection, but I love it on my own terms, once I know and trust you. I'm in good health overall but have a few lumps that don't bother me, so am anxious to get into a home soon, where I can be loved and doted on. Can you foster or adopt me?

Ventura, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

HI - I'M GABE! I'm a handsome 5-year-old blue-and-white Pit Bull Terrier in need of a home! I'm truly adorable, with my short legs and heart-shaped nose. I love people and love going on road trips, walks, and hikes. I also love the car and would make a great co-pilot. I could play ball all day long so be prepared! I'm not the greatest fan of most dogs, so would do best as the king of my castle with people who can dote on me. And I do fine with some cats but not others, so will probably do best in a home without any cats, too. I weigh about 60 lbs., and am currently in need of a foster or forever home. Please email for an application.

Ventura, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

HI - I'M APPLE JAX! (Ajax for short)! I'm a happy and fun male Greyhound-Pittie mix, possibly with some shepherd mixed in, in need of a foster or forever home. I'm such a happy, quirky dog! I would be a great companion for an active person who wants a mix of a couch potato and active canine pal. I'm a funny dude with a handsome face and long legs. I love to run and play, and I love my toys, too. I would be great in a home that can provide me some love and attention. Despite my 3-year-old age, I still feel like a puppy! I do fine with some dogs but not others, so would probably do best as the only dog in the home if you can have me! I will love you forever! I've been waiting awhile and keep getting overlooked, probably because I'm an unusual combination of dog breeds. I'm super cute, though! Can you foster or adopt me? I weight only 57 lbs. Please email for an application.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

WOOF - I'm sweet and happy Dorothy! I'm a 4-year-old female brown brindle & white Pit Bull Terrier in need of a foster or forever home! I've been waiting awhile -- almost two years -- and keep getting overlooked, despite my happy disposition. I'm an active, fun-loving dog and would do best in a home where I can get plenty of play time and exercise. I'm obsessed with the ball and if you like to play fetch, I'm your girl! I also love the water. I did well on my dog test with a calm male pittie, though I could use a few manners and would thrive as the only dog in a home as well. I also make a great snuggler! I weigh 69 lbs. Can you foster or adopt me? Please email for an application.
