Adopt

We are not a rescue, but we have gathered all local shelters and rescues, right here >

a new best friend is waiting for you!

Ask anyone who’s adopted a dog – especially a pit bull type dog – and they’ll tell you: there’s nothing more rewarding. And there’s nothing more important right now, with CNY shelters at full capacity. Your choice to adopt literally saves a dog’s life, while bringing more fun, energy, and joy into your life. Of course, we hope you’ll explore opening your home to a pit bull type dog by getting the facts about these wonderful, family-friendly pets! We also recommend adopting an adult dog for the following reasons:

Adult dogs have fully formed personalities, empowering you to choose a dog that fits your lifestyle
Shelters and rescues temperament test adult dogs, so you know what to expect behaviorally
Adult dogs are often overlooked in favor of puppies, and are at a higher risk of being euthanized
Yes, you CAN teach an older dog new tricks AND manners, just ask our recommended trainers
Adult dogs know they’re being rescued, showing gratitude and love on a scale you wouldn’t believe!
