Mandy & Marcus
The Dynamic Duo!

Mandy & Marcus are a 6-month Pit Bull Terrier/Shephard mix, brother & sister pair.They are both fast learners and would excel in obedience school. They are good with children and small dogs and love to give kisses. The pair would make a great addition to any household ready for owning highly intelligent, active dogs.



Mandy is a beautiful, with a gorgeous tiger pattern and an even more amazing personality. She is not food aggressive and is very well mannered. Her biggest joy is sharing her toys with her brother Marcus from whom she has never been separated. When walked without him she gets easily freightened and when housed without him (even in a nearby crate) she whines and cries for his companionship. She enjoys jaunts to the park and jogging around the neighborhood.


Marcus is a stout, smart young man. He is quite stately and causes a scene (in a good way) when out on walks. He is fast to make friends with anyone who gives him the chance. He can get a bit over excited with adults, but seems to know childrens' limits/tolerance for jumping.

Dixie
Dixie is a very friendly, lovable American Pit Bull Terrier. She is 4 years old, housebroken (on a regular schedule), and knows most basic commands. She loves cuddling with her human friends and may get depressed without it. Dixie rides well in a car, enjoys short walks, and thrives on attention. She gets cold easily so she needs a sweater when it's cold out. Dixie once lived in a home with 2 cats and may easily adapt to another home with cats. She likes most other dogs, except large black dogs. When Dixie needs to go out she will be restless and gently nudge your hand or lick your face. Dixie prefers canned dog food over dry, but she will eat dry food if you spruce it up with something she likes on top. She loves playing with her toys.

Dixie is proven to be a very tolerant, loving, and trusting sweetheart of a dog. The perfect home for her would be a stable, consistent environment where she can depend on being loved, cuddled, and cared for every day. Please reward Dixie for her resilient, exceptional personality by giving her a stable, loving home.

Lily
Hi, I’m Lily! I’m a sweet 2-year-old, 45 pound, female, brindle (black striped) Pit Bull Terrier mix. I love everybody, but I need to be an only pet. I am very smart and quick to learn. I’m house-broken and obedience trained. I’m a bundle of energy and just sweet as can be!

My ideal home would be a quiet household in a quiet neighborhood, with no small kids or other dogs and maybe even a nice big yard — a doggie's dream! I am an AWESOME loving companion! I bond very strongly with people, and I'm VERY affectionate.

Note from a volunteer: Lily is a 45-pound lap dog! If I sit down on the roof, she is content to sit right in my lap for as long as I like. She also really likes being picked up. If you like carrying around 45-lb pit bulls, she's perfect for it! She never ever squirms, just hangs out in my arms, back legs a'dangling, for as long as I want to hold her! Any form of love, she just loves!

Ruby (1)
Hi, my name's Ruby and I'm a real gem! I'm a 1-1/2 year old female and about 35 pounds. I won't grow any bigger. I'm a brindled (black striped) Staffordshire (staffy) Bull Terrier mix. I LOVE to cuddle! If you want a really cuddly doggie, that's me! I LOVE people, LOVE attention, LOVE to have my belly rubbed and I'd LOVE to LOVE you! I also love to play! I'd really like an owner that's energetic and active — like me! I don't want to live with any cats, and would prefer to be the only pet. I'm proud to say, I'm fully housebroken. My prior owners just kept me in a cage and never bothered to love me. They were arrested for neglect, and now I'm at Furry Friends waiting for my own special persons. Are you the one for me? I really need someone who can be patient with me, and spend lots of time with me. I get really lonely when left all alone. I like people a lot, and miss them when they're gone. Do you have room in your home and heart for a real jewel like me?

I'm a celebrity! I was recently featured on ABC Channel 7 news!

Ruby (2)
My name is Ruby, and I am a two year old Pit Bull Terrier. I was rescued from a county animal control facility when my time was up. I was originally found, badly beaten, in a ditch. I am very scared and shy when you first meet me, but very sweet when I warm up to you. I am fully obedience trained. I need to be an only pet. I love to run and play with a tennis ball, and I love to curl up on a blanket. I'm a sweet girl, that deserves a loving home!

My ideal home would be a quiet household, in a
quiet neighborhood, with no small kids or other
dogs and maybe even a nice big yard. (A doggie's
dream!) I am an AWESOME loving companion!
I bond very strongly with people, and I'm very
affectionate and loving. I am very well housebroken.

Annie
Hello, my name is Annie! I'm a Pit Bull Terrier, probably around a year old. I was brought to an animal control facility so starved that I could not even stand up. A kind person took me home, put me on a heating pad, gave me fluids and vitamin supplements, and got me to eat a little bit. Thankfully, by the end of the following day, I was able to stand on my own. They gradually increased my food intake so as not to put too much stress on my kidneys. I am totally sweet and non-aggressive. I am fine with most male dogs. I am house-broken as long as someone is around to let me out. I play now and have put on weight. I'm ready for someone to love and to love me back.

Annie was near starvation when she was rescued.

Daisy
My friends at foster care have named me Daisy. I'm a Pit Bull Terrier mix, weigh 50 pounds, and am around two years old. I was found several months ago running loose in Chicago with wounds around my neck. My wounds have been treated and have healed well, but now I need a home with no small children. I need owners who can handle a strong girl like me. I walk nicely outside on a leash and can sit on command, but I still need basic training. As you can see from my pictures, I'm really cute, with a personality to match. I love giving affection. I really need a home SOON because I'm tired of being in a cage most of the day. I'd much rather stretch my legs and give you kisses.

I am very timid, as a result of past abuse, and need someone with a yard, a lot of patience, and a lot of love to help me overcome my fears. I'm very loving and I bond strongly with my owner. I appear to be somewhat frightened/intimidated by other dogs. I hate to be crated so I need someone who works out of their home or a retiree.

Maggie
Hi, I'm Maggie! I'm a Pit Bull Terrier mix. I'm about 2 years old weigh about 50 lbs. I was found in Kentucky on a freezing cold day, limping down the street, my paw bleeding. A nice woman drove me up all the way from Kentucky. I was VERY scared initially, but I've warmed up quickly and I'm full of love and kisses now.

I am missing part of my front paw, my mouth is swollen, my back teeth are shattered, and I have lots of scars from past abuse. I was bred repeatedly in the past. When I was rescued, my little body was worn out and I had a world weary look to me. Now, I'm all smiles from the wonderful care the volunteers have given me. I am looking forward to a new loving home. I would do best in a home as an only dog, due to my past abuse, but I am very loving with people.
