they say she is about 1 year 4 months. poor thing looks like she hasn't eaten in weeks or months. and those eyes. I love her so much already and for only 2 days she is adjusting great. house broken already. they found her as a stray but she had to have been a pet. she looks abused from the cuts snd scraps she has. I love her colors. the camera does her shade no justice. And those eyes. man is love those eyes
A couple of years ago, my mom and I lived with her abusive boyfriend (whole other story). They thankfully broke up, but he took our pitt, Ash with him when he left.
For two years, we heard nothing from him and hadn’t seen him. There was an attempt at a login on an account my mother had made for the dog, but that was about it. From then we just hoped he was okay and tried to move on.
March 31st, my mom gets a call (misses it, and instead plays the voicemail) saying that Ash is at an animal shelter just a county away. He had been either found or turned in as a stray, and since his microchip is registered to my mom, they called her instead of the ex. We just picked him up today. He was so skinny (54lbs, we believe he’s an amstaff), his ribs and spine have started to show through his skin, and he has a bump on his leg that will be checked by a vet soon.
But my boy is home with his family for Easter. He’s running around the yard and eating and drinking, he remembers all the tricks I taught him. He recognized us at the shelter and is still the loving, hardheaded, happy boy I remembered. He’s getting so much love, treats, and pets from all his family members and we’ll be reintroducing him to his brother tomorrow. Hoping all goes well with that.
If only dogs could talk, I wish I knew what had happened to him in those two years.
The first two photos are him at the shelter and immediately after we picked him up, everything else is older photos from when we had him.
My wife and I adopted this little guy today.
His foster family believes he's from a dumped puppy litter nearby as one of their neighbors found a similar lost pup a few days ago.
The family found him in the woods behind their house covered in ticks and hungry. I appreciate everything they did for this little guy.
We're not sure what he's mixed with, don't really care, just glad he's home and safe with us.
We named him Atreus ("BOY!" For the God of War fans).
Our other pittie is Athena in the 3rd pic; and so far we think they're going to be great siblings!
I don't post a lot on Reddit, but I'm always on this sub and just so damn excited to add this guy to our family.
I'll add more pics of Atreus throughout the week.
I saw her picture in the paper and knew she was going to be mine, she had to be. I adopted her from my local shelter a little over 10yrs ago. My mother was completely against it and we fought for a whole day before she even allowed me to go visit her at the shelter and after I told her to get over it, if she wouldn’t help me rescue her, my ex’s family would. And they did. She was jumpy and covered in bodily gross but I loved her from our first walk.
The shelter labeled her a pit/collie mix and its easier to see in person. Shes got the neck fluff and face of a collie but the rest of her is all pittie. Shes been the perfect dog all these years. From her climbing trees to chase the squirrels to being the best foot warmer. Her goofiness has never failed to make me smile, especially when I don’t want to. Shes alway been do sweet and loving, trying break up fights and calm tempers..
I’ve suffered from depression for so long and anytime she sees me cry she wants to fix it. How could I ever tell her I’m crying because shes going to be leaving me? She and my other pit mix fell in love.. Hes going to be heartbroken without her.. How do I explain to him hes going to lose the only partner hes ever cared about?
I’m just so devastated rn and don’t know what to do…
We recently lost our 15 year old girl Ruby and we have had an Opal and currently have a Pearl. So we adopted Emerald from the Fort Erie Humane Society.
She is loving her big sister and her new life. She just wanted to say hi
This week we celebrated our 6th Gotcha Day with our sweet Anchovy Bones with a trip to the doggy beach and some french fries from the fishery. I feel so lucky to be his mama.
I'm curious where my fellow house hippo owners reside...
Willow Bear lives in Liverpool, England.
This is my baby poh aka baby schnoo 🤣🤪 hes the coziest ever ♥️💖♥️ just wanted to intruduce him 😀🌞

If the dog's link on their name doesn't work, you can search by the dog's ID number to see posts that have the details. Remember to sort by New!
Also, u/BanditY77 and u/nuclearcowgirl can help you with a specific dog.
If you do want a dog, E-mail immediately to ALL the below addresses. Include the dog's name, ID number, and "DO NOT EUTH" in your subject line.
💌 ALL HOLDS MUST BE IN WRITING - PLEASE DO NOT CALL
Then contact u/BanditY77 and u/nuclearcowgirl to let them know.
Most dogs are on BARC's longest-stay list, updated hourly, before they get to the euth list.
https://www.houstontx.gov/barc/barcdata/BARC\_LOSV2.1.pdf
Adopting from the longest-stay list will keep a dog off death row!
And what about the others on the 4/2 list, you ask?
I'll let you know when they tell me. . . .
Thank you for your interest in BARC dogs!
I’ve had my baby boy for 7 years after I found him as a starved 3 month old puppy stray but I don’t know what breed of pit he is.
If y’all know anything I will be grateful.
My little girl is beyond friendly, and gets super bummed out if people don't want to talk to her. We need some advice on how to convey that she's thrilled to meet everyone when we're out and about. People in our neighborhood know Pearl is a big love bug but when we're out other places, people tend to avoid us. Even the delivery drivers who bring us stuff love to see Pearl and she gives the biggest kiss and wiggle attacks.
We're going to start going to the farmers market soon and would love opinions on how to get it across that she just wants to love on everyone. Photo of the beastie for reference and puppo tax purposes.
My pittie has recently started getting these on his lip. not sure if my other one is chewing him up or if he is doing it to himself. he takes allergy meds for his skin (zenrelia) so it shouldn't be allergies.
