Pit Bull    Age: Adult

Compatibility: Not Good with Other Dogs, Good with Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Somewhat Dominant 
Health: Spayed 

    Sweets is very a very funny girl. She is quiet in the house, crate trained and loves to be curled on the couch. She is very energetic at play, fast on her feet and likes to jump but is calm in the house. Because of this energy and for saftey sake, I think it best to be in a home with adults only. Initially I think she tends to be more at ease with women, although her primary owner is male. And she has lived with a young child and a cat. She may chase unknown cats. Sweets does have aggresion issues with some other dogs and is choosey about who her friends are. She will walk on leash, knows basic commands and is very smart. She needs ... (Read More)someone to baby her and give her lots of appropriate attention. She will also need a secure fenced yard. Sadly, breed restrictions are causing us to find her a new home. (Less)

    Naylah (Pronounced Nii- La ) Is a Blue Nose pit / Staffordshire Terrior mix. She is 11 months old. She has been spayed, current on her shots and is also Microchipped. Naylah is a VERY high energy dog. She is very sweet but needs someone who has a lot of time who is strong willed, patient, calm and assertive to work with her and teach her. She likes to jump up a lot, and as I am currently 8 months pregnant, and about to have a baby. This behavior just wont do. Me and my husband both work full time jobs and just do not have the time anymore to work with her and keep up with her incredible energy. She has been listed under aggressive ... (Read More)because we have failed to properly introduce her to society...for her first 6 months she did VERY well, however as winter rolled in our family outtings came to a hault and so did her training. She has spent an ample amout of her time in her kennel and definitly when company came around if ever. She does VERY well with our children and nieces and nephews however we have her listed with no children because of the aggrssion she has shown a few times we believe she will definitly need the training to get use to all types of ppl before trusted around kids...and strangers. Nahyla is not a puppy but still thinks she is. She loves to play but her playing is still (nipping), but her nipping is now a powerful bite im positive she does not know her own stregnth yet. We hope to find her a loving home SOON as my 8 weeks will soon come to an end and she will be moved to an outside kennel...which I know will not help her behavoir. (Less)

Pit Bull Mix    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good with Kids and Adults 
Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Spayed, Vaccinations Current 

    Chica is just two years old and has already experienced a lifetime worth of hardship. She was surrendered to an area shelter, where her number soon came up - after a two month stay, she was set to be euthanized due to lack of space at the shelter. Wild Dog Rescue came in and picked her up, bringing her to the rescue. Chica's ears are full of scars - brought about when flies feasted on her ears, leaving their biting marks. Before she was surrendered to the shelter, in her previous life, she was left tied to a chain, year round. The blistering sun of summer burned her fair skin and the chill of winter tore through her thin coat of fur. ... (Read More)Now, she has a chance to have a real life for the first time. She is an absolute sweetheart at the rescue and is quickly bonding with our volunteers. All she wants is to be loved by a family. If you are interesting in giving her a much deserved second chance, please fill out an application, available at www.mosseyhollow.com to set up a visit or email wilddogonline@gmail.com for more information.

Animal ID: 5010Destiny (female)

Pit Bull Mix    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good with Most Dogs, Good with Kids and Adults 
Personality: High Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Spayed, Vaccinations Current 

    Meet Destiny!! If you are looking for a GREAT family dog, look no further than Destiny! She is a super sweet girl with a huge desire to love. She came to us in July, when her family moved and could not bother to take her with them. Despite the fact that they had picked her out as a tiny wriggly little puppy and provided her the only life she has ever known, they did not want to take her with during that next phase of their journey together. Naturally, being uprooted from her family rocked Destiny to the core- within days, she became so stressed and suffered from such severe seperation anxiety. Enter her amazing foster, and ... (Read More)dog psychologist by day, Jim...he immediately took her into his care, where she has spent the last 7 months, thriving and blossoming into the beautiful girl that you see today. No longer is she riddled with anxiety- now she runs freely during playtime, without a care in the world- just as a dog should be. Now that she has made such huge strides in her behaviour, Destiny would like to make that ultimate step in her life, by finding a 'fur'ever family of her own to give her a second chance and the happily ever after that she deserves. Are you interested in Destiny? Please email office@muskegonhumanesociety.org for more information, and to arrange a time to meet with the foster and get to know this pretty girl better!!

Rescue Me ID: 13-01-15-00516Zakk (male)

Pit Bull Mix    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Not Good w/ Other Dogs, Good w/ Most Cats, Good w/ Kids and Adults 
Personality: Very Low Energy, Submissive 
Health: Neutered, Needs Vaccinations, Malnourished, Abused/Neglected 

    Zakk came into my home about 4 months ago, when my roommate's ex-husband (his previous owner) went to prison. He was left in the house alone for roughly a week and had to fend for himself. He does have aggression issues towards other dogs (I assume all, but I only have large dogs;) while he has become fairly accustomed to my two females it has also taken a few months. This aggression I assume is due to his past, there is evidence that he was abused and/or trained for dog fighting. Loud noises such as yelling at him make him cower and flinch and dog play noises make him nervous and on edge. My Roommate doesn't know much of his past other than ... (Read More)what she was told. He is very sweet tempered otherwise. Listens well and loves people. He enjoys playing with toys and children. He is eager to please and loves good belly rubs. His energy level is very low; I believe this is due to his weight. He came to us very emaciated. He has put on a little weight but not as much as he should. Zakk really needs someone who is patient and calm; a person who knows how to handle dogs that have come from bad situations. If I didn't already have two dogs this wouldn't be an issue. Zakk will make a wonderful a pet for some lucky family! I adore him but I just don't have the time or the knowledge of how to help him. (Less)

Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    Dozen is a dog with a personality that will fill all the empty spaces in your home. He is a pointer/pit bull terrier cross and is about 2-3 years old. Dozen (pronounced doH-zen) is looking for a home without any other dogs in the family. He gets along great with kids, cats, kittens & small puppies but other full grown dogs are not on his 'favorites' list. Some of Dozen's favorite things are ice cubes and big rawhide chewy bones. If he wants to play and isn't given a toy will find a stick or leaf or whatever is available to play with. His new family should have some experience in his breeds (or similar) a fenced in yard and a sense of humor! ... (Read More)Though Dozen is goodwith kids, due to his size and energy level we recommend he only be adopted to a family without too little of kids running around just so he doesn't accidentally knock them over.

Pit Bull    Age: Adult

Compatibility: Good w/ Most Dogs, Good w/ Most Cats, Good w/ Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Submissive 
Health: Spayed, Vaccinations Current 

    Although a very beautiful soft red brindle girl, 'Rosi' is very camera shy and doesn't like to give the camera her normal big 'smile.' She is a purebred American Pit Bull Terrier born approximately March 2004. An extremely loving little girl of less than 50#, she can be a fireball of energy (she is not 'hyper,' however). We think she will do best in an all adult home or one with active teenage children. She could accidentally knock down small children in her innocent enthusiasm. 'Rosi' is spayed, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm negative, on preventive and is microchipped. She is also both crate-trained and housebroken. Rosi is NOT ...

Pit Bull    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good w/ Female Dogs Only, Not Good w/ Cats, Good w/ Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    'Jordy,' a blond American Pit Bull Terrier with white throat and blaze on his face, was born in June 2008, the last of an 'accidental' litter and destined to be sent to a fatal end at the pound until ASL stepped in to rescue him. From a plump handful at his arrival age of only 2 months, 'Jordy' has grown into a very large-framed adult. He listens well. He socializes well with most other dogs, especially females, although he requires supervised introductions. On the negative side, however, he does not do well with cats or livestock and may not be comfortable around young children, even though he has a very sweet, submissive demeanor with ... (Read More)adult females. He is, in fact, a 'woman's dog.' If you are a single female and plan on staying that way, 'Jordy' is the perfect companion and loyal protector. 'Jordy' is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, on heartworm preventive, and is both house- and crate-trained.

Health: Spayed, Vaccinations Current 

    Pretty, pure-white 'Porsche' is a petite, purebred American Pitbull Terrier born approximately January 2004. About 40#, she is as exciting and energetic as the sports car we named her after. She is also a most delightful 'lap-warmer.' She will climb up and lie quietly on your lap while you watch a movie and has very good house manners over all. Found as an unclaimed stray, we can't figure out why she was discarded. She has an outstanding personality and is going to make some lucky person or family with children a wonderful, loving and loyal companion. 'Porsche' has been spayed, tested negative for heartworm, updated on her vaccinations ... (Read More)and microchipped. With her compact size and good manners, she would make a terrific traveling companion if your work took you on the road a lot. Great with young children!

PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Michigan
    Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Michigan if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.
