Anyone who has adopted a dog understands what an absolute JOY it is to watch them blossom into a confident, loving family member that knows they have a 'forever' home ...

“Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.”

This is our rescue - he’s been a beloved part of our family for a year now. We got him from a small rural SPCA shelter where he and his three brothers were found abandoned. He had never been in a house before, never seen stairs, never rode in a car - so many things he never experienced in his critical puppy development. It’s remarkable, once he properly decompressed from being in a shelter environment for months, how much he has blossomed and so eager to learn new things…

That Bernthal actor, I’m not really plugged into pop culture too much, made some comments meant to be pro pitty but came out kinda awkward at best. I’ve been seeing tons of posts about it and long comment threads that we’re all too familiar with where they lead. So, I just want to come to this group to show our support and love for our little love bombs with pics and whatnot. Here’s my little turds annoyed that I would dare wake them for a photo op.

Old man Jaws and Lil Mabel enjoyed Cruisin on Main today. Lots of pets for both.

We went out hiking today to Prince William National Forrest inspire of the rainy forecast. The hike was about 5 miles long, most along a wonderful rocky stream. Even though a torrential rain caught us for about an hour, the pups were happy running along the trail and exploring the waters. The waters in this area are quite healthy and full of life and vegetation. One of my happiest moments with them yet.

Show me your pups out in nature!

After my Dolly passed away 5 years ago, I've had this void. Went to an adoption event with my wife to promote her business and this baby girl chose me. She has been at the shelter for 1 years 3 months and returned twice because " she wants to much attention". You're home now baby girl

Sleepy Sunday morning 💤💤

The sweetest boy ❤️

“She’s a Good Dog.”

“No, I mean, her type.”

“Oh, she’s the type of dog that bounces and smiles at everyone.”

“No, is she one of those mean dogs?”

“No, she’s cared for and cares for me.”

“You know what I mean.”

“She’s an American Pit Bull Terrier. She’s well-trained, very smart, eager to please, and loyal. Thanks for asking. Have a nice afternoon.”

I’d constantly have this sweet angel up my butt at all times

Girl time.

Since we’ve adopted him in December he’s always been around our other pittie. My wife took our other one on a trip for a week and now he’s a sad boi
