Marley was adopted!

We adopted Marley from OOTP in the Summer of 2008, as a four-or-five month old pup. A year-and-a half later, she has grown from an unloved and abandoned city dog into a smart, energetic, effervescent, obedient, well-adjusted, and much-loved country dog (pictured here in a less energetic moment).

Her favorite outdoor activity is playing Frisbee – she can jump, do a ¾ twist in mid-air, & catch the Frisbee on the fly. She can also hop over a 4-foot high chain link fence without a running start (we did learn that the hard way). She shares our small cabin with her inseparable best friend – our old Siberian Husky – and three cats. Marley is truly an APBT breed ambassador – loving and loved by everyone she meets!

Corky was adopted!

Corky was 4 months old when we brought her home. (Her 2nd birthday was November 3rd.)

She was recuperating with foster parents Dorthy and Bruce from a broken leg which was the result of a "questionable" fall down stairs. She also had a badly broken tail, which resulted in the name Corky, as it now looks like a corkscrew. Her spirit soars, and she is the true love of our American Bulldog Brass. Corky adores him as well, and is a wonderful friend to him, and makes sure we always know when he wants or needs something.

She's smart as can be, and her heart is great, as she loves everything and everyone (she's a wiggler). She runs like the wind, with Brass far behind, without any sign of a limp. We spend a lot of time on the lake where we live, and she enjoys our boat and is a wonderful swimmer. We also enjoy camping, and everyone comes along.

I don't think our family could do without her. Thank you Out of the Pits for letting her become ours!!

Hemi was adopted!

We have noticed that Hemi has this unique ability to get up on your lap in seconds...you almost don't even know its happening till its to late and you have been HEMIFIED...

Yep we created our own word to describe it. Its so incredibly funny, he is truly a lap dog, and it's quite all right.

Here's a picture of a Hemification.  

Bruno was adopted!

I can stop looking…

I’ve found the perfect man.

I fostered Bruno for four months before I decided to adopt him. It was both a hard and an easy decision to make. After one minute I wanted to keep him, but because I already had three dogs of my own (and two cats) I was hesitant to take on the responsibility of another dog.

Everywhere we go, he stops traffic and people ask me questions about him and the breed. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to educate people about Pit Bulls. He is an amazing Breed Ambassador, and one of the main reasons I decided to make him part of my family. Soon he will have his CGC and his Therapy Dog Title and we will visit many places together. Having a dog with such a great temperament coupled with his striking looks and imposing size makes him ideal for teaching people about the true nature of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Besides being a great Breed Ambassador, Bruno is a silly, loveable, clown of a dog. To watch him run is like watching pure joy in motion- his entire backside and hind legs rear up, like a bucking horse. He uses his paws to push tennis balls around and can entertain himself for hours. He squeals with delight when he knows he’s going to get his treat filled Kong. He gives sweet and gentle hugs and loves to lick my neck. He follows me everywhere, with a “what cha doin?” look in his eyes. When he’s playing with my other dogs, he lays down low and stalks them like a cat, then pounces on them when they come near. He chases butterflies and kisses my old dog’s butt. He has big fat paws and soulful eyes.

A lot of people say he got lucky to have been adopted by me, but really, I am the lucky one.
