Adoptions

We take adoptions seriously.

Our process includes thorough screening of potential adopters, conducting vet checks to verify health care, and performing virtual home visits to ensure our dogs are matched with the perfect families for them.

Once you are approved, you join our Pittie Posse community – A community of support unlike any in the rescue world. We cherish staying connected with our adopters and dogs to provide support and stay up to date with their adorable faces. We are always happy to offer training resources and lasting community connections.

Marty

Marty

Mixed Breed (Medium)

📅 7 months ♂ Male
A few words from Marty’s foster… “If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, adventure-loving pup who wants to be your best friend, Marty is your guy! Marty is the kind of puppy who believes every person and every dog he meets is a potential new best friend. He LOVES to run, wrestle, and play with other dogs, but when playtime is over, he’s perfectly happy entertaining himself with his toys and chews. He’d make an awesome adventure buddy for someone who loves hiking, running, or getting outside and exploring. And when you’re back home? Marty turns into your little shadow. He’ll follow you around, curl up beside you, and happily climb into your lap for some serious snuggle time. Marty is truly an all-around wonderful puppy with so much love to give. He’s playful without being all-consuming, affectionate without being clingy, and just an absolute joy to have around. Whoever gets to call Marty their forever dog is going to be VERY lucky.”

Meelah

Meelah

Mixed Breed (Medium)

📅 3 years ♀ Female
Hi, I'm Meelah! Back in June, I was in a place the humans call a "shelter". It was loud and a little scary. Now, I'm in a new place called "Maine". It's pretty nice. I would really like a home. I've never known one that was my own, a place I can stay forever. I'm only a year old, love other dogs, am a petite 40 pounds, and am crate trained. I really love to be outside. Go on adventures. Do ANYTHING water related (seriously... ocean, lake, backyard hose, puddle, bathtub, you name it!) The humans say I will learn about "snow" soon. Apparently it's like water... but really cold? We'll see how a Southern Belle like myself likes that. So, if you want to be my person, Pittie Posse says you just have to tap the link below to apply. And then you can meet me! And I can give you kisses! Okay, see you soon, I hope. Love, Meelah ❤
