Adoption Spotlight: Dashing Debo! ADOPTED

Oh Debo, how my heart bursts with affection for you! 

This giant meat-head is the most ridiculously affectionate dog I think I've ever met.  Admittedly, he looks a little intimidating at first (although you can't tell that in these pictures). Even me, being the pit lover that I am was a little intimidated when I first walked up to him and saw that enormous pitty grin:

It seems silly now that I've met him, but that grin looks like it could absolutely swallow you up! Debo instantly showed me how wrong that thought was:

Debo is absolutely the biggest mush I have ever met.  It took a lot of patience and blurry pictures to get some good ones of him because all he wanted to do was be right up in your face being loved. And yes, there are a ton of pictures of him because I just couldn't help but love that gorgeous face!

If Debo's heart is half the size of his head I'm sure he'll be the most loving dog in the world. 

He's also a huge goof.  

I think belly rubs are his absolute favorite. He stayed like this for about ten minutes straight and would flop over to get a tummy rub if someone even started to walk towards him:

Some of the smaller puppies didn't quite know what to think of him, but all Debo wanted to do was be best friends.  Even with such an imposing presence, this boy managed to win over the hearts of everyone that was there.

If I was able to adopt a dog, Debo would probably be at the top of my list.  You've never met a more kindhearted and friendly dog.  All he wants to do is be part of a family again. Can you find a place for his giant head in your family?

Pitty Puppies!

Meet Miss Tessie!

She's the happiest, wiggliest little puppy I think I've ever met.  As soon as she sees someone walking towards her, or even look at her, her whole body starts to waggle.  She wiggles so hard that the tip of her tail touches her shoulders :

She adores everyone. Kids, puppies, big dogs, little dogs, everyone!  Just look at that perfect pitty smile! Could she look any cuter?  She's only three months old and full of life.  If you're in the Rochester area you should really come see her! She would love to meet you!

This is Tige! He's the cutest little puppy. Unfortunately he's already adopted and was just there for socialization, but I couldn't help but share some pictures of him anyway: 

I don't know what he thinks he did, but he has such a good guilty face:

Pitty Friday!: Lily and Henrietta

This week I present to you two beautiful white pitty girls.  The first is Lily!

Lily is a sweet girl.  She's full of energy and life and just wants to be a dog.  She's one of those dogs where her spirit shines through in every picture of her, she even winks:

Unfortunately, Lily lost her home when her owners divorced.  She's perfectly housetrained, has good leash manners, and loves everybody!  Her energy level means that she probably shouldn't be adopted by a family with small children.  I think she would love to live with an active family and go on hikes and adventures.

Someone please come adopt Lily! She is so ready to love you!:

Our other white pitty girl from Friday's adoption event was Henrietta!

While Lily likes to wink, Henrietta loves to GRIN!:

Henrietta is a super special little pup.  She's actually deaf, which isn't all that uncommon for white pitties.  She's doing very well learning her hand signals and behaves very well around other dogs and children. If you've had some experience with deaf dogs before, Henrietta would love for you to come meet her!

Pitty Friday: Puppy Overload

This past Friday I had the pleasure of not only driving two U of R volunteers to the adoption event, but I also got to drive three puppies!

You've all seen Faye before, with her wonderful ears and personality.  Faye is about six months old now and doing very well in her training, especially because she is very food motivated.  She also LOVES her foster sisters and cuddles with them all the time.

Unfortunately, she managed to chew through her harness and was stuck in a martingale collar on Friday.  Faye loves to play with other dogs and is easily prevented from bounding off to play with her harness, but not so much with her martingale collar.  Unfortunately, with the collar she was stressing herself out and choking so we had to bring her home.

Colby is one of our brand new babies.  She is a sweetheart who is interested in every little thing that's going on around her.  Unfortunately for this sweet baby, the adoption event was a little overwhelming for her and she was stressing out so she had to go home.  She was getting along well with other dogs, just overexcited.  She was a sweetie that we just wanted to cuddle and play with all night long.

She was super silly in the car!

Vera is only about four months old but is doing very well with her training.  She has sit mostly figured out already.  While at the adoption event she worked really hard on learning the "down" command and had it more or less mastered by the end of the night.  

Out of the three puppies that we brought on Friday she was by far the most mellow and calm.  All she wanted was the food we were using to train her.  She even ignored her foster sisters' antics and showed how nicely she sat for some potential adopters.
