 | Rescue Me ID: 13-12-05-00058Kadoe (male)
I am a 3 year old neutured male blue pit. Right now I weigh 80 lbs. I live with my loving family which consists of 3 kids ages 8,11, and 12 years of age and 5 adults. I also live my 'sister' Coco, who is a female pit and tolerate a cat that lives in the house... I love to try and get outside when I am not suppose to and it has now caused a situation that my owners can no longer keep me. I got out twice within this last year and decided to go up the road and attack another dog that was outside. Not once did I do this but twice and to the same dog. My owners just paid another hefty vet bill for the injured dog. I thought I won the ... (Read More)battle with the other dog but not the one to be able to stay and live with my loving family. You see, the neighborhood that we live in, doesn't like 'pit bulls' so I have always been on a list with them to get me out of the neighborhood and now that time has come. My family must now try to find me a new home. I don't have a fenced in yard and when I see I can run , I do. I am so stubborn at times, that when my name is called, nope, I'm not going to listen. I do like to chew on things, should they be left out on the floor, like kids toys, pencils, crayons, etc. I love to play, chase my tail. Speaking of tail, I can never catch it. I go round and round and I jump like a bucking bronco while doing it. My family thinks it is hilarious. I love treats. I am house broken and go to the door when I need to go out but the only way I let you know if I have to go out is to go the door, I don't bark or anything when doing this. If you miss me at the door waiting and I cannot hold it any longer, I will pee inside. I love my family. I think I am a lap dog and will sit with you or on you if I think I want to be there next to you. I give kisses when I want to give kisses and if I don't want to do something you are asking of me, nope, I'm not going to do it. Very stubborn I can be. This is what has gotten me in to trouble. I now must leave my loving family and hopefully someone, somewhere out there, will give me a second chance at life. I need to find that special person, who has everything that I need to succeed or unfortunatley, I will have to go to sleep for eternity. I am so young, so full of life, that I just know that someone, somewhere can give me what I so desperately need. A good loving home that has room for me to run.

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-12-05-00006Sonny (male)
I hit Sonny with my car Halloween night, and decided to foster him. He has learned to walk on a leash & knows simple commands, such as 'sit' and 'stay'. Well-behaved and somewhat submissive with me. Tends to try and dominate females, but gets over it pretty quickly once a female stands her ground, and he recognizes he cannot be the alpha. I have never introduced him to small children, but he is very trusting of adults & is immediately friendly, typically trying to win their approval from the very beginning. He is currently too aggressive with other pets. I have never turned him loose, but he has behaved too aggressively on the leash w/ other ... (Read More)dogs. I do think he can learn to be more passive with other dogs, but I am simply unqualified to teach him. He does like to play, of course. He is not accustom to being indoors, so that would also have to be taught. Overall, he has a very happy disposition & loves nothing more than being right there with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I have done my part, and am ready to find Sonny a forever home. (Less) Davidson County Nashville, TN MAP IT!

Mama' who is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. She's very calm and easygoing and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. When we picked her up she had had a litter of puppies, but we could only find one of them. He went to Precious Friends. Since then, she's gotten her figure back and has been spayed and vaccinated. She gets along with all the other dogs, rides well in a car and walks on a leash. We've been keeping her and her 'mate' in an outdoor kennel, but she loves to come in the house and seems to be housebroken. She likes to gives kisses and lay on the couch and have her belly rubbed. She probably weighs in at 40-45 lbs. ... (Read More)This girl needs a forever home full of love! You MUST have a GOOD Vet Reference to adopt her!!!

Jack is a sweet and playful goofball! We love him very much, but because of my allergies we need to find him a new home. He is well socialized and friendly, and gets along with most other dogs. He needs lots of exercise and playtime, so a home with a fenced in yard and another young dog to play with would be ideal.

At a year and a half old, he's still very much a puppy at heart. Jack is a cuddly lovebug! Would he be a good fit for your home? More photos available at: ...

This precious, very docile and friendly dog showed up on our front porch a couple days ago. His face is all scratched up like someone threw him from a moving vehicle. I have no idea how he is with children or other animals, but he is very sweet with adults. His behavior leads me to believe he was possibly a house dog. He minds very well and seems to know some commands. I would keep him but I have two other dogs that don't get along with other dogs. My husband says if I can't find him a home in the next day or two he is going to take him to a shelter. This dog only has 3 legs (probably from birth) and looks to be part (if not all) pit bull. ...

Jacob is a very sweet puppy!!! He gets along wonderfully with everyone. I am rehoming him because I am not the right owner for him. He needs a strong handler because he is a dominate temperament. I am not strong enough to be his pack leader. He loves to play, chase balls, and cuddle! He knows how to sit, lay, shake hands. He sleeps in a kennel at night... but would love to sleep in bed with you. He is house trained... at least in my home... being somewhere new may be different. He is an inside dog too! Once again, very sweet dog just needs someone who can be his pack leader. Thanks! Williamson County Franklin, TN MAP IT!

Dog seen walking thru neighborhood with no collar. I knocked on several doors, and some people saw her roaming around, but no one owns her. She jumped in my truck, she was hungry and I cannot keep her. I think she may be a pit bull. She is very sweet, affectionate and obedient, sleeps a lot, ignores my six cats, gets along with the neighbor's large dogs, but my little dogs are going crazy with her in the house. I can provide more photos. Cumberland County Crossville, TN MAP IT!

Diablo is a good dog. He has only known us as his family and is protective of us, and most children. He needs a new home because he got out of our back yard and attacked our landlord's chickens along with our retriever mix. Due to his breed we were told to get rid of him, and it breaks our hearts to do so. He needs a patient family that is willing to understand that he must get use to you before he can truly be himself. He loves to sit in your lap and also to have his coat brushed. He would make a wonderful guard dog and family pet if you would give him a chance. Smith County elmwood, TN 38560 MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-10-10-00312Petey (male)
Petey is a young (unsure of exact age but I believe he is around 1 or 2 years old) intact male pit bull that I rescued a week ago today. He is a brown and white colored pit that weights around 44 pounds. Let me start at the beginning and tell you the whole story on Petey. On Thursday October 3, my friend and I had just finished lunch and went back to her apartment. I got out of her truck, turned around and the next thing I know I see Petey walking right up to me. When I first saw him my mouth dropped and I wanted to cry. Petey was filthy, he was not his original white and brown coloring, he was brown and gray. He has scars all over his ... (Read More)face and nasty bumps all over his body with hair loss. He had fresh new wounds that were bleeding pretty heavily but yet he was so sweet and came right up to me and wanted to be petted. It was obvious to me that Petey has been used as some sort of position in dog fighting. He is so sweet that I believe that he might have been used as a bait dog but we will never really know. After the initial shock of his appearance I rushed him to the vet. I took the responsibility because I was not able to leave him in the condition he was in or just being a stray in general. I have a soft spot for pit bulls since I already have one. I took him to the vet and they checked him out. I was very worried andapprehensive at first with him because I did not know what his temperament was like but regardless whether he was savable or not I had to take him to the vet. He has an ear infection and has been put on antibiotics, got a penicillin shot, a bath, and some skin cream for the bumps and scars on him. The vet says he was in pretty good health for a dog in his condition and situation. I did not get him his vaccinations or any of the usual examinations since I am a college student that does not have a lot of money. I wanted to take care of the most important things and that was his wounds. That day I picked him up from the vet with food, a collar, leash, and a bed for him. The problem is I am not able to keep him. I never was in the beginning. The apartment that I live in does not allow pets and if I get caught with him that is a $600 fine and possible eviction. My roommates are allergic to him and are not very animal friendly so you can say that it has been a little difficult having him around. I have been taking him everywhere with me since I want to see hissocialization skills and he does really well. He loves to get petted and loved on with adults and children. He is extremely afraid of loud noises and new things. He is very territorial in the fact of he always has to mark his territory but I believe that can be fixed a lot with him getting neutered. He is a sweet and easy dog for the most part. There are of course a few hiccups I should say with him but nothing that cannot be fixed. The biggest thing is that he is like Houdini and can get out of any cage. He has gotten loose and ran away at least 7 times now. He does not like being confined in a cage at all. He will do whatever he can to get out of it. I bought a metal kennel to keep him in and he breaks out of it by bending the metal or pushing it apart. You can say he is a pretty strong dog. I have had to cable tie his cage together so he wont push out of it. It has gotten to the extent that he will break a chain link fence so he can make a small hole and push himself out. He has a little temperament problems like when he is really scared he snaps and tries to bite but that I believe can be fixed. Petey has so much potential and you can see it in his eyes that all he wants to do is please people and have a loving home. I wish I could give that to him but I am a college student who cannot afford him, who does not have a place to keep him, or the time to give him the training he needs. I have fallen in love with him but I know the best thing is to find him a home. I do not want to take him to a shelter because I know no one will give him a chance because of his past and the last thing I want is for him to be put down. I really need y'all's help. Please help me save Petey!! He deserves so much and I cannot give it to him so I want to find someone who will. I am in a bit of a predicament though. I am leaving town this Saturday to go visit my mom who lives in Omaha, NE and I cannot take Petey with me. I have no place for him to stay and no one who will help watch him. I really really do not want to take him to a shelter because like I said I do not believe they will give him a chance. All I want for him is that he never has to go back to the stray/fighting lifestyle and that he is not destroyed for something he had no control over. I promise you will not regret saving Petey. I know I don't. (Less) Weakley County Martin, TN MAP IT!

Hitch is just over a year old. He's very sweet with people and dogs he knows but has started showing aggressive behavior to new encounters with humans and other animals. I have tried to work with him, but I have two jobs and just feel I don't have the time to give him the attention he is going to need to get through this issue. He hasn't bitten anyone yet but I fear it will happen unless he gets more attention than I can give him. I will not take him to a shelter but I desperately need to find him a better home. Thanks for your consideration. Davidson County Nashville, TN MAP IT!

I rescued this dog from Ellington Parkway May 2013 between McFerrin Ave and Cleveland Ave. He is a sweetheart but I have an old male dog and they do not get along and will fight. This is causing me great stress to keep them apart. Mack is an outside dog and is very playful. If you need a good outside dog, He's for you. I do not know how he would do with kids. Maybe you even know who his original owner was? He really needs to find a new home as I cannot continue to keep him and may have to take him to the pound if a new owner cannot be found. He really is sweet. Davidson County Nashville, TN MAP IT!

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Tennessee | |||||||||
Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Tennessee 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.
