Foster parent: Joan





     

Favorite things     

What does your dog love? Playing fetch & tug, playing with her human brother (lots of licks & snuggles), being around people, playing with other doggies, peanut butter, and sunbathing.

What do you love most about your dog? How happy she gets to be around all of us! Major wiggle butt and tail wagging :) 

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? How many people get to know Coronet and comment on how "awesome" she is, "well-behaved" she is, "beautiful" she is, and realizing pit bull’s don't get the positive reputation they deserve. We also love how much she loves us and how protective she is of all of us, especially her human brother.     

This or that     

  • Sun or snow?  Sun
  • Toys or treats?  Both
  • Sleep or play? Play
  • Bossy or baby? Baby
  • Snuggle or personal bubble? Snuggle (she always wants to be RIGHT next to, or underneath, us-haha)
  • Blankets – over or under? Over-the more the better!

Favorite things     

What does your dog love? Playing with feline best friend Mauer, and pup friends Opal and Moe, loves ALL humans, sunning on the deck, romping in the snow, bully sticks, playing keep away and any walks or hiking. 

What do you love most about your dog? Violet is curious about everything and wants to get to know everyone! She is so vocal; we have conversations every day. She is always ready for tug, playing fetch with a ball and romping outside. She loves giving kisses and may even give a nibble on the ear! 

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? Violet is always happy-go-lucky! Violet has turned out to be on the smaller side, so I think her smaller stature and mega friendly nature is great to be a breed ambassador! She doesn't shed and is the SNUGGLIEST pup ever!      

This or that     

  • Sun or snow? SUN
  • Toys or treats? TOYS
  • Sleep or play? PLAY

Is there anything you’d like to say to the Minnesota Pit Bull? Pitties are hard work, especially as puppies. But their cuddly and happy nature is so, so worth it! MPBR prepared me to be a pit bull advocate, I am very thankful for their process. I was nervous to make the commitment for a full-time dog, but I could not be happier. Violet had some challenges when she was young, but I am so happy that I got a puppy, it was right for me raising her from 8 weeks old! She is my forever family.

What do you love most about your dog? His heart on his snout!, he’s a great brother to our only child, he has no idea how BIG he is (almost 75lbs last time we weighed, vet thinks he will be 80-85) he has no problem sitting right on our laps when we are on the couch, he loves “cozy time” grabbing any blanket he can find and burrowing in, he jumps SO HIGH he can clear the couch from the backside! he tries to follow our cat (Larry) walking on the back of the couch and sometimes lays there next to him, there is no one that can walk in the house without stopping to give him as much attention as HE wants, he was the missing piece of our little family and we ADORE him (even after he shreds our stuff)
