2.7.18 Hello from Bane (Update-Adopted!)

Meet Bane

Name: Bane
Nicknames: Mr. Bane, Baney Bunny, Baney Rabbit, Raney Babbit
Age: 6 months (as of 1/17/18)
Activity Level: Medium
Size: currently about 30 lbs
Things I do in my free time: Chew on bones, throw my bird or raccoon plushie around, eating peanut butter out of Kongs
Things I know: My name, sit
Things I am learning: Down, shake
Kids: yes
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Car rides: great!

Additional Info from foster parent: Bane has been such a wonderful patient! He still has pins in his leg so unfortunately this little guy can’t run around and play nearly as much as he wants to, but he keeps himself occupied with Kongs or chew toys. He isn’t a huge fan of his kennel, but who would be after having to spend so much time in it! He is such a cuddler, he loves to be laying against someone when he has a chew or Kong. Bane definitely loves food, so he will be very easy to train. I can’t wait to see this pup fully healed, he will be so happy to finally run around! He is a total goofball and spends half the day with his tongue sticking out like in that first picture, It's so cute!

What we know: Bane was turned into the Dallas animal shelter with a severe leg injury. After consulting with veterinarians and a specialist, it was decided that his leg could be saved with extensive surgery.

2.1.18 February Dog of the Month- Lola! (Update: Adopted!)

Lola is the Dog of the Month!

What does that mean exactly? 

Each month we pick one dog that has been with us a little longer than others to be featured as the "Dog of the Month" meaning their adoption fee is waived. 

A mandatory training class (with a training facility of the adopter's choice) still required as well as normal reference checks and a home check. 

If you’re interested in Lola, please visit mnpitbull.com for adoption information. 

4 months old (9.1.17)

Hi, I’m Lola!
My favorite things to do are cuddle, chew on toys and play with other dogs.

I have great crate manners, I enjoy being in my crate to sleep or sometimes I’ll just hang out in there for a bit.

Right now I have two companions at my foster house. A boy and girl dog who are super fun, they introduced me to this thing called “cats”. I really like them too. The big cat will come rub up against me to say hi.

I’m potty trained and know how to tell everyone when I have to go. Sometimes, if I’ve been playing, I wait till the last minute and might have an oops. It doesn’t happen too often though. 

I’m good at “sit”. I really like food so that helps me with training. I also wait and sit while my foster parents fill up all the dogs dishes until they say we can eat.

I’ve been told I have a lot of personality. I make funny faces, smile, & make little noises when I play- all to let you know how I feel. I have energy but I’m not wild. I play but I do enjoy having time with my humans.

I’m pretty good around kids or a group of people. My foster parents brought me to their holiday get-together and I met so many people. It was really fun. I was polite towards the new dogs I met and even left all the cats alone.

My foster parents say that I’m great because I have so much love to give and I’m super sweet. I’m well behaved and even let people clip my nails with zero fight. I’m a good girl!
If you think I sound great and are looking to adopt, please set up a time to meet me!

Meet Christine Q.!

Who was your first foster? 

Moxxie

Reba

Moxxie

Who is your current foster?

Reba

Why did you start volunteering?

I have been a dog lover since I can remember. Pit bulls being my all time love! I came across Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue's Facebook page and saw that fosters were needed. I knew instantly that this was what I wanted to do. Now I help find exceptional dogs, fine warm & loving homes too!

How long have you been volunteering with our rescue?

Since May 2017

Do you have any pets?

Yes, we adopted our 2nd foster, Blaine.

Blaine

Where is your favorite dog friendly place to take your pooches?

Quarry Hill in Rochester. It has great hiking paths for dogs.

When not surrounded by dogs – what can you be found doing?

Gardening, lots of kid actives go on around here. You can also find me binge watching some any TV drama on Netflix. 

Do you have a favorite memory with one of your fosters?

I went on one of my long hikes with Moxxie, who loved going on hikes. During our walk, we came to a creek. I wasn't sure if she had ever played in water before, especially since at first she seemed very unsure about it. Once she got her toes wet & realized it was safe, the zoomies took over! She was a muddy mess at the end of it but it was the first time I had ever saw her that excited. We made that hike several more times before she was adopted into her forever home.

Each month one of our foster parents receives a BarkBox as a Thank You!

BarkBox is a subscription service that is awesome for you dogs! Every month, you get toys & treats delivered right to your door. 

It is our way of showing appreciation of their dedication to this rescue. Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue is ONLY able to save dogs because we have foster parents who are willing to open their home to homeless pit bulls. 

Each month we will introduce a new foster parent to you. ❤️
