NameHazel
Formerly Known As
Hazelnut
Nicknames
Hazy/Button
Foster parent(s)
Wendy & Katie

Favorite Things:

What does your dog love? Hazy's favorite things include her ropes to play tug of war, bones, and Turkey Jerkey treats. Hazy loves snuggling and drowning whoever is near her in kisses and affection. She loves playing fetch outside and will run until she can't anymore! Hazy also loves playing with other dogs any chance she gets.

What do you love most about your dog? 
It's hard to choose just one thing that we love most. She is truly our sunshine! If I had to narrow it down, I would say the thing I love most about Hazy is that she loves to snuggle just as much as I do :)

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? 
I think the best part of owning a pit bull is that they love being your best friend as much as you love being theirs. They are incredibly smart and loyal which makes them wonderful companions!

Spread the Love:

We are so thankful for Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue for bringing Hazel into our lives, we are so grateful for all who are involved in the rescue!

Bauer 
Nicknames

Favorite Things:

What does your dog love? Bauer loves dog parks, hiking and basically anything outside. He comes with me almost everywhere. His favorite thing to do is ride in my truck with his head out the window.

What do you love most about your dog? 
His eyes were the one thing that made me say yes to adoption. He is so pretty. I love his spunky, loving personality. He is a sweetheart.

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? 
I love showing the world that pit bulls are the most loyal, loving breed out there. Its all about how you raise them. I love when people come up to me and say he is the sweetest pit bull.

 

This or that:

  • Sun or snow? Both but I'm waiting for the deep snow to see his zoomies and reaction!
  • Toys or treats? Treats
  • Sleep or play? Play
  • Bossy or baby? Biggest baby

Spread the Love:

Is there anything you’d like to say to the rescue volunteers? 
I would like to say thank you for how easy the adoption process was. It was nice working with Jordyn and Beth. They’re both super nice. Bauer has filled a big hole in my life after losing my first pit bull. I appreciate everything you guys do. I also really like the connection that we continue to have on social media. Its always nice seeing how all the other dogs are growing and their adventures. I will continue to support this rescue as long as live. MPBR is the best!!!

Foster parent(s)
Me! (Kayla) I failed... she was too adorable to let go of

Favorite Things:

What does your dog love? FOOD, me, cuddles, chasing squirrels.

What do you love most about your dog? 
she's the best little cuddler, my little sidekick, and just has the sweetest personality. She always brightens my day even when she's naughty.

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? 
Pit bulls truly have the best and most loving personality. Don't get me wrong, Kola's a handful but she's also the sweetest baby girl. You can never have a bad day coming home to a little pit bull smile. I am always entertained; never a dull moment in my household.


This or that:

  • Sun or snow? Sun
  • Toys or treats? TREATS for sure
  • Sleep or play? Sleep
  • Bossy or baby? Bossy, she definitely runs the house lol
  • Snuggle or personal bubble? Snuggles, she HATES being alone

Is there anything you’d like to say to the rescue volunteers? 
Thanks for my baby girl and thanks for everything you do in general for these dogs!


NameConan
Formerly Known As
Walnut
Nicknames
The Boy, Cow, Baby Boy, Walnut (I can't give it up)
Foster parent(s)
Ashley & Corey

Favorite Things:

What does your dog love? Playing in the water, hiking, other dogs, fetch (for hours), every toy, cats (they don't share the love). He's also great at training classes - super smart, but still with the typical pittie stubbornness.

What do you love most about your dog? 
He's such a sweet boy! Being a quarantine puppy, he's had to grow out of his shell. He still gets a little nervous when first meeting people, but instantly melts and realizes he loves everyone. I love watching him get more and more confident every day.

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? 
They love their people so deeply. You just feel it. I've had other breeds, and it just never felt like it does with my pitties. Also, you build such a strong bond because, as a responsible owner, you know you are in constant training mode with this breed - and that's a good thing! Proving pit bull stereotypes wrong is just a bonus.

This or that:

  • Sun or snow? Sun
  • Toys or treats? Treats, but only by a hair
  • Sleep or play? PLAY. All. The. Time
  • Bossy or baby? Baby
  • Snuggle or personal bubble? Snuggle
  • Blankets – over or under? Under

Spread the Love:

Is there anything you’d like to say to the rescue volunteers? 
I think anyone who can volunteer with a rescue is truly an angel - what a hard job. I honestly cannot thank you enough. I've wanted to add to our family for years, but when I saw Conan, I knew it was the perfect time. I can honestly say that in probably the toughest year we've all lived through, having this guy around has been a lifesaver.

 

NameMonroe

Roe, Money, and Pecan Pie
Foster parent(s)
Beth & Jordyn; then us! (she never left) 

Favorite Things:

What does your dog love? Spending time with her moms and pestering/playing with her senior brother & sister.

What do you love most about your dog? 
How smart and playful she is. Her constant gentle wiggle of love and excitement whenever we re-enter a space with her. "Oh, you are back and I am sooooooo very happy to see you!" No jumping noise, just vigorous wiggles, truly the cutest dang thing.

What do you think is the best part of owning a pit bull? 
Their trainability. We are genuinely creating a shared language and a mutually respectful relationship. There is a give and take with a pitty which creates a super tight bond when you understand one another. Also, she is the funniest dog I have ever loved. Her zest for life, her billy goat jumps, her somersaults, all encompass her joy for each moment. 

This or that:

  • Sun or snow? Sun, although she does love short stints of play in fresh snow!
  • Toys or treats? Toys! She is dedicated to sending her moms on the constant hunt for truly indestructible toys... indefinitely
  • Sleep or play? Both. She plays hard and sleeps hard. She's a nice balance of energy level
  • Bossy or baby? BOSSY. She is insecure (we are working on building confidence), so she has lots of preferences for her siblings
  • Snuggle or personal bubble? Snuggle when it comes to moms. All other people engage her personal bubble (we are working on that too)
  • Blankets – over or under? Over, they are more difficult to chew on when she is not getting what she wants if she is under them

Spread the Love:

Is there anything you’d like to say to the rescue volunteers? 
We can't thank both MPBR and Passport for Paws enough for the endless work they do to give hope and futures for so many pups. Monroe wouldn't be here if it weren't for your dedication to treating her Parvo and getting her here when she was well enough to travel. MPBR, you have been incredible since the day we joined as fosters. The ways in which you engage volunteers and adoptive parents allows us to feel like what we do matters and that we have copious amounts of expertise and support in our journey as pitty parents. Your work is invaluable and so very much appreciated. We are so grateful to be a part of the community.
