When no one is home, she's content in a crate with lots of toys/ bones to chew on. She has food allergies and requires a specific brand and type of food. She's a wiggle butt with lots of love to give. Would do best in a home that isn't too chaotic and noisy. (Less) Suffolk (City) Suffolk, VA 23434 MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-09-04-00199Cap (male)
We have a 3 year old neutered male pit mix named Cap. We got Cap from the DC Humane Society two years ago. When we got him, he was really skinny and sick, and as he got healthier and happier, he got more and more energetic- so much so that we now think the 'mix' might be with a lab. We are not the most active family and chose the pit bull breed because of their calm nature, and although we do have a fenced in yard and take Cap on some walks, he's really a dog who needs a good long walk every single day, plus lots of playtime. He's good with kids (although he's never lived with one), good with other dogs (but will quickly overwhelm a less ... (Read More)energetic dog in play), and would probably chase cats. He is amazing and sweet and loves his people to pieces, and finding a new home for him has been a really, really hard decision. We've been casually looking for several months, but our timeline has just been shortened: We went to Texas the week of the hurricane to help out with relief efforts since I'm an EMT, and we offered to help transport some dogs to a different shelter since they're packed down there. They introduced us to two dogs that they considered essentially unadoptable and would not be accepted by other shelters for the same reasons, so basically if we didn't take them, they'd be killed to make room for more adoptable or transferrable dogs. Tex is a 3-year-old, heartworm positive, XXL male, and Maggie is a 1 year old female who is about to have puppies- which would have been more shelter dogs. So of course we took them with us, intending to find homes for them, but the home we ended up finding was our own. We will be neutering Tex in the next week or two and spaying Maggie as soon as it's safe after she has her puppies. Cap is boarding at our kennel right now because Tex isn't fixed and we don't want them meeting until we know him better. My ideal home for Cap would be a place where he has room to sprint around in circles, chase some squirrels, and have people who are as SUPER EXCITED to see him as he is to see them. Another big dog who can keep up with him in play would be amazing, as long as his people know the difference between play growls and bites and real ones, because he does both when playing with other dogs. We've been hiking with him several times and backpacking once, and he does great- even carries his own pack. I think he would love to jog with his person; he's super chill walking past other dogs. We'd want to meet the family (humans and dogs) in a neutral location to introduce everyone, and then we'd want to see your home. To be clear, Cap is not to be used as anything other than a family pet- no fighting, no baiting, no resale. If at any time you find that you can't keep him for any reason, we'll take him back, no judgement, no questions asked- just please don't put him in a shelter.

LueLue Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Sex: Female (Spayed) Age: 5 yrs Weight: 56 lbs Vaccinations: Current Microchipped: Yes LueLue's mom died leaving her with the boyfriend. He was unable to care for her after she developed a life-threatening illness (pyometra). She also had a skin infection. She was taken to our vet and when it was determined that she needed immediate surgery, he agreed to surrender her to Dr. M. He informed the vet that he really didn't want her. Dr.'s M & M decided that they were going to save her and re-home her. Rainbow received a call asking if she could be a Rainbow dog. They offered to cover the cost of all of ... (Read More)her veterinary care (which we greatly appreciated). She had been boarded at the hospital until we finally found a very caring foster. She is now in a home and learning to be a family member. We also discovered that she was kept mostly outside with not much interaction with others. She was cat tested and didn't seem too interested so we think that she could learn to live with a cat. There were children at the previous home and stated that she was fine with children. We think she needs a home with older children as she is VERY energetic. She seems to be fine with other dogs which we will further determine when she starts her manners classes. She loves to run and play. She needs a family who will be patient and loving and is willing to continue her training so she can become the sweet dog that she is capable of. If you are that special family, please contact Esther or Dallas at 757-583-8777 or e-mail rainbowanimalrescue@cox.net. (Less) Rainbow Animal Rescue P.O.

URGENT: FOSTER NEEDED Bella is a super sweet girl with absolutely adorable ears and beautiful soulful eyes. She dealt a bad hand the last few years. Her previous family was not very nice to her, so she is a little fearful of new people and places, but she warms up very fast! She gets along with other dogs, but when she gets overstimulated she redirects her excitement to aggression toward other dogs. This is due to the previous family allowing all of the dogs to race outside and run up and down the fence. This is very common and easy to control by keeping all of the dogs in the home in a calm state. She cannot be let outside with other dogs ... (Read More)to run and rip because the excitement takes over. This can be handled by only letting her outside by herself or under strict supervision and removing her when things get too stimulating (such as a neighborhood dog walking.) She is a really great dog who just needs a patient, responsible person to continue working with her on the excitability factor and to shower her with the love she deserves. We think it is best if she does not go to a home with young kids due to the over excitement factor.

Niles is such a sweet cuddle bug. He may only have 3 legs, but it doesn't slow him down! He is fantastic with all people! He loves kids, babies, seniors, you name it! He sleeps in the foster's 5 year old child's bed most nights. Sometimes he doesn't realize his size, so you have to watch him around really small children. He will try to get in anyone's lap! Niles LOVES going on car rides! You do have to help him in and out since he only has 3 legs. Niles has a past of being dog aggressive without any warning at all. So, we recommend he goes to a home without out dogs. We also do not think he would be very good with cats. Due to being a ... (Read More)tripod Pittie, carpet is better for him and a home without too many stairs. He can go up and down the stairs with encouragement, but it is harder for him. Niles loves to go on short daily walks. Usually a mile is all he can do. He then will just lay down and refuse to get up! He is a velcro dog once a bond has been built and will follow you everywhere. Nile does have some separation anxiety when left alone. It just takes him a little while to adjust to new situations, but he is crate trained and goes in there when nobody is home in his foster's house. 5-6 hours is the max he can be left alone before you have to worry about him relieving himself in his crate. He is house trained and does great in the house! But, in the crate, he will use the bathroom sometimes. This sweet guy loves belly rubs, peanut butter, and cuddles! If you meet him, you will fall in love with him due to his goofy, sweet personality. Approximately 4-5 years old.

My favorite thing in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD is to play with my Kong. I will carry it with me everywhere I go and even do flips to try to catch it when you throw it for me.

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