If you would like to try a Foster to Adopt trial, please fill out an Adoption Application. If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application. Meet Honey! Honey was rescued as a stray when she was found skin and bones at only 25 pounds in the streets trying to survive. She is currently fostered by her rescuers in a home with several cats, 2 adult humans and a small senior chihuahua. She does interact with children occasionaly. Honey is sweet as can be, however, we are seaching for a foster or adopter who is knowlegable in dog training and socialization. She needs help with leash reactivity towards both dogs and people, its more fear based and than aggression. Here are some notes from volunteers who have worked with Honey at adoption events: Her barking trigger is hard to pinpoint. Sometimes she barked at both men and women regardless of height/size. She barked at people who walked by for seemingly no reason one minute and next minute, no barking. Sometimes she barked at both men and women who came up to greet her and other times was totally accepting of the man or woman walking up to pet her. She never pulled at the leash when barking. Seemed the barking was mainly due to insecurity/fear. Meet Honey! Honey was rescued as a stray when she was found skin and bones at only 25 pounds in the streets trying to survive.

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
