These puppies will forever be known as the "Montevideo litter". Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue received a call asking to help with a litter of 8 puppies that were living in a less than stellar environment. The pups were all in one small kennel, standing in their own filth with no food or clean water. The images were one of the hardest things we've ever had to see. Luckily, the Montevideo Police Department stepped in to rescue these pups just in time. Even in these circumstances, all 8 puppies were happy and ready to give out kisses. We are beyond thrilled that we have an update of all 8 dogs, just in time to celebrate the week of their 3rd birthday! (click here to see the before pictures in a great story done by The Dodo)

Thank you so much for saving this amazing litter of
puppies. Without your kindness, I would have never met my best friend. The
world needs more people like you willing to serve, protect, and save not only
people, but animals too. I am so grateful that Stella and her siblings were
saved from such a horrible situation. I worry what would have happened if your
team would not have found them in time. Because of you, Stella and her siblings
no longer have to worry about being neglected. Stella is one of them most loved
dogs I’ve ever met. She is truly a member of our family. Thank you!

Favorite things
What does your dog love? Running the agility course, going to
Grandma & Grandpa’s, removing squeakers from toys.
What do you love most about your dog? His adaptability. He is very much a “go with the
flow” kind of dude. It allows us to have foster dogs come & go, bring him
to breweries, or just nap on the couch. He fits our lifestyle perfectly.
Best part of owning a pit bull? Their unconditional love. My favorite is when we take him out in public
& have people comment on how well behaved his is. I love being able to
change someone’s mind about the breed & to have the ability to show them
that they are a loving, happy, beautiful breed.

Glitch

name that I decided I was a failure.

Foster parent: Me, myself, and I....I suppose you could also include Clark, Reg, and Hiccup.
Favorite things
What does your dog love?

totter
What do you love most about
your dog? She’s sort of a challenge, she loves most anything and everything,
and she snuggles
Best part of owning a pit bull?
Training them to be better than what everyone believes they can be...their
personalities...just enough drive for me....devoted...and also happy to nap the
day away if we want
This or that
- Sun or snow? Snow really only if I’m out there or if she’s wanting to eat the ice as that seems to have become a favorite past time lately, or else she’s a sun baby shooting for a sunburn all the way
- Toys or treats? Both....but she only gets the toy thing with actual interaction since she’s a wrecker and likes to destroy just about every toy she touches
- Sleep or play? Both again but often times is dependent upon me and what I’m/we’re doing
- Bossy or baby? She likes to play the field in both directions here
- Snuggle or personal bubble? No doubt on this one, snuggle ALL the way...it’s very rare that you’ll find her not touching you when you’re on the couch/in bed
- Blankets – over or under? Mostly over but I think it’s because she hasn’t quite grasped the concept of the under yet

Is there anything you’d
like to say to the Montevideo Police Department? Thank you, THANK YOU

day with the work you do and I couldn’t be happier that you took it upon
yourselves to check in on these guys!!
Silas
I worked for the school so I went to teach summer school and
picked Silas up that day after school. When I came to get him, I saw the MPBR
group in the room with the rest of the pups. It was sooooo sweeet..
Silas loves to travel. He swims in mountains lakes and rivers.
He sleeps in tents and rides shotgun all over the country. I love that he
adores my kids and they adore him. My kids have never not had a pit bull in
their life. Azure is 12 so Silas is his 3rd pit, Aurelia is 10 and
Silas is her 2nd pit and Esme is 5 and Silas is her 2nd pit.
Esme and Silas have been together since she was 2 years old and he just months
old. Pit Bull personalities and desire for family is their best quality. They
are able to adapt to anything.
This or that
- Sun or snow? Sun
- Toys or treats? Treats
-
Sleep or play? Toss up
-
Bossy or baby? Baby (except to our kittens, then bossy)
