Louie

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 9 mos

Westfield, IN

Size

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

Good with kids, House-trained,

Story

Professional Snuggler, Part-Time Comedian 🛋️😌 Louie is about 3 years old, 50 pounds, and deeply committed to the belief that every couch should come with a Louie on it. He’s an affectionate, easygoing guy who loves people, loves kids, and is happiest when he gets to be part of whatever his humans are doing. Going for a walk? Louie’s in. Car ride? Absolutely. Movie night under a pile of blankets? He has been training for this his entire life. Louie is crate trained, potty trained, great in the car, and has that wonderful grown-dog balance of enjoying some fun without requiring you to reorganize your entire life around keeping him entertained. He’ll happily play, explore, or tag along for an adventure, but he is equally talented at turning himself into a 50-pound throw pillow. And we really need to discuss the face. Louie has an adorable underbite, one little tooth that occasionally catches his lip, and a permanently serious expression that makes everything he does approximately 40% funnier. He’s sweet, cuddly, charmingly ridiculous, and very ready to trade foster life for a family of his own. Think your couch is missing something? Apply to adopt Louie through Redemption Rescue

Story

Charlie is a 6-year-old pit bull/heeler mix that I took in from a friend at 1-years-old. Charlie loves pets, chasing his ball, and will insist on going out with you when you take the trash out! He is a loving, cuddly boy that will be a lap dog if you let him. He does well with a chihuahua who runs the house and has enjoyed playing with other dogs without incident in the past. He loves to chew on squeaky toys, but his main goal is to rip the stuffing out. He will eat toilet paper as a substitute, so you’ll have to watch out for him sneaking off for a snack! He’s had some tummy and skin sensitivities, but has done well with being on a sensitive kibble. He knows sit and could likely be trained for other basic commands. We are looking to rehome him due to recently bringing a baby home and not having the time to give him that he deserves. He is curious of the baby and wants to be near her, but I have not seen his interactions with older children.

🚨 EXCUSE ME. HELLO. HI. 🐰✋ It’s me. BAD BUNNY. You may remember me. 👀 I was that cute little dude everyone was talking about… and now I have returned to make an important announcement: I AM FULLY VETTED AND AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. 🎉🐰 And before you start judging me by my name, NO, I am not going to eat your carrots and destroy your house. 😂 I am approximately 5–6 years old, HOUSEBROKEN, and I am basically a professional at being a good boy. My résumé includes: 🐶 Big dogs? FRIENDS. 🐶 Little dogs? FRIENDS. 🐱 Cats? FRIENDS. 👧 Kids? LOVE THEM. 🏠 Housebroken? ABSOLUTELY. ❤️ Cuddling? PLEASE. THIS IS MY SPECIALTY. BUT… I have one tiny little issue. I AM A DRAMA KING WHEN I FIRST MEET YOU. 😂 Stranger walks in: “WHO ARE YOU?! WHY ARE YOU HERE?! I DON’T KNOW YOU!!!” 😳📢 BARK BARK BARK. But the truth is… I’m mostly just scared. 🥺 Give me a little time to realize you’re not a scary stranger, and suddenly I’m like: “Oh. You’re my person? Cool.” ARMY CRAWLS DIRECTLY INTO YOUR LAP. 🫡🐰❤️ Yes. I said ARMY CRAWL. I will literally launch myself into your lap like I’m reporting for cuddle duty. Once I know you, I am a sweet, loving boy who just wants to be close to his people. 🥹❤️ So I need someone who understands that sometimes the loudest bark is attached to the biggest scaredy-cat. I don't need someone to be perfect. I just need someone who will give me a little patience, let me warm up, and then prepare themselves for approximately 47 pounds of lap dog behavior. 😂 So… WHO WANTS TO ADOPT ME?! I have waited long enough. Your future best friend, professional cuddler, certified good boy and occasional security alarm is ready. 🐰❤️ 📩 Apply to adopt Bad Bunny through Big Dogs Don’t Cry! Www.bigdogsdontcry.com P.S. — I am NOT actually a bunny. The name is misleading. The ears are not included. 😂🐰

Rufus

American Pit Bull Terrier/Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos

Bristol, IN

Size

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

Details

Story

He’s a very loving boy who enjoys attention and has plenty of energy to run and play. Because he loves to explore, he should always be in a securely fenced yard or on a leash, as he may run off if given the opportunity. He does wonderfully with children and has been around my three kids, with whom he has always been gentle and affectionate.
