Story
Bella is a sweet 7 year old a female Pittbull. She does not get along with other dogs. Does well with our cat but unsure of new cats. Has never had any issues with kids but because she is getting older I’d prefer a home with older children. She really just wants lots of love, snuggles and attention.

Story
My name is Cass! I'm a 4.5 year old heeler/beagle mix. I LOVE MY MOMMY!!! Sadly, Mommy works a lot and she wants me to be able to run and play and have someone around more than she is able to be. I cry a lot when she leaves, and sometimes the neighbors downstairs get upset when I do. Mommy went through a breakup and Daddy never came back, so sometimes I get scared when she leaves. I don't destroy her stuff, except for maybe twice in my life. She hides pills in my food to help calm me down, and she says hopefully they start to work better soon. I LOVE cuddles and snuggles. I can spend time with you just sitting g st your feet, or we can go on a nice long walk! I enjoy camping too. Outside is my favorite place! I like other dogs and cats too! I'm not fixed though, so Mom doesnt let me spend much time with the ladies. Other boys are ok if there aren't any other ladies around! I haven't been fixed yet, but Mommy has tried to save up for it! She got in a car accident so we had to wait.

Story
On a late Sunday afternoon, a fellow animal loving family pulled up to HQ with a box full of squishy puppies. They had found the puppies nursing on their dead mother and they didn't know what else to do. These folks donated what they could and we took it from there. After stocking up on puppy formula, we set our alarm clocks for the frequent feedings and zombied our way through the first few weeks. Just like real babies, we had some "picky" ones in the bunch - this one didn't like this bottle, that one preferred this nipple, this one had issues drinking from the bottle, those two eat a bottle a piece, etc. We had just gotten through the infant phase with our own daughter and were back to enjoying our evenings and then we were back in the trenches! Times 8 this time! From what we can tell, these pups appear to be pit-mastiff mixes, but we like to focus more on personalities than breeds here at The CWP. "Sammy" and his siblings have had their struggles when it comes to meeting new people. Given their rough start to life, this is understandable. We have adopted out 6 of the 8 puppies and each one of them took a little bit longer to open up to their new surroundings. When you interact with Samurai here at the rescue, he is everything you expect in a young pup - loving, playful, and goofy. Out in public, he can be a little timid and scared. Sammy has been on many "vacations" with our trainer and after about the third trip, he was more than OK with being away from headquarters. What we are trying to say is - Samurai's adopter will need to very patient and very dedicated to his success. He is a really great pup who deserves a chance at a forever home. As long as his forever family is committed to giving him some time to acclimate, we have no doubt that he will become a part of the family. Please review our adoption page at https://www.thechickwithpits.org/adoptionsfor the full details about the adoption process. Feel free to contact us with any questions! Please keep in mind that we will NOT schedule any meet-and-greets without a completed application first.

Story
If you're looking for a dapper gentleman to join your family, then look no further. Huck is an amazing dog who gets along with everything! He spends his days in open play doggie daycare, going on walks and obviously lounging around like the cutest couch potato. His couch potato game is strong. Huck has some kennel anxieties that are currently being worked on, but we believe this is something that can be fixed with the right home. Huck is fully vetted and up to date on everything.

Story
Hi, My name is Maria. I got Daisy about a year ago. She was just over 1 year old. I'm assuming she came from a divorced home. My friend originally got her and her kids were mean to her so she was very nervous about being there with them. They pulled on her ears and mouth and swatted her with a fly swatter. My friend did her best to punish the kids but there is only so much you can do. The kids are 1 & 3 years old and Daisy just didn't work out at their house. I had lost my husband 1 month before I got her. I offered to bring her home with me and find her a new home because the situation was not good at my friends house. This dog is extremely smart and LOVES to hunt. She belongs with a hunter and an active person who has time and LOVES to hunt too. We are close but I cant meet the demands that she needs. So im looking for a hunter to adopt her and give her a wonderful forever home and someone who will take her hunting and I do believe she is trained to bear hunt too!
