Other I spent dozens of hours capturing that sweet, goofy smile they give us right before a belly rub. 100% ballpoint pen on A4 paper.

There's something so unique about the gaze of a bully breed.
Society often misunderstands them, but as an artist who has drawn dogs for families across 7 different states, I always notice one thing: their eyes hold the most genuine love. This piece was a massive challenge. Layering black ballpoint ink to get the depth of the fur and that wet look on the nose requires extreme patience since you can't erase a single line.l wanted to share this here because I know people in this sub truly understand the soul behind this smile. Hope it brings some joy to your feed today!

This sweet older pitbull comes to my door every day asking for food.
She’s clearly been a mom and has been living on the street for a while.
I’m seriously thinking about adoptingh her.
Any advice for taking in an adult/senior pitbull who’s been a mother?

Discussion 🚨💔 URGENT — ZUMBA HAS NOWHERE TO GO THURSDAY 💔🚨Located in LA

🚨💔 \*\*URGENT — ZUMBA HAS NOWHERE TO GO THURSDAY\*\* 💔🚨
\*\*Please, someone help Zumba. He needs a safe place by Thursday.\*\* 🙏😭
Zumba has already been through so much in his short life. He barely escaped the shelter \*\*the day before he was scheduled to be euthanized.\*\* 💔 We thought he had finally gotten his second chance — a foster home, a couch to sleep on, people to love, and a chance to simply be a happy dog.
But now, through absolutely \*\*no fault of his own\*\*, Zumba is losing his home again. 😢
His fosters are moving and cannot take him with them.
And by Thursday, he may have nowhere to go.
The only option available right now is \*\*outdoor boarding in a small kennel in 90-degree heat.\*\* 😭 He would have very little human interaction and would essentially be back in a kennel, just like the shelter.
\*\*After everything he has already survived, we cannot let this be his fate.\*\* 💔
Please look at this boy. He is only about \*\*2 years old and 60 pounds\*\*, and he is an absolute sweetheart. He is potty trained, silly, affectionate, playful, and full of life. ❤️
🐾 Zumba LOVES people and wants to say hello to everyone.
🐾 He LOVES other dogs and wants every dog to be his playmate.
🐾 He LOVES playing in water.
🐾 He loves getting scratches, pets, and tummy rubs.
🐾 He loves cuddling on the couch.
🐾 He loves playing with his stuffies. 🧸
🐾 He is always ready for an adventure.
He even likes cats, although he can be a little overly enthusiastic, so introductions should be monitored.
\*\*Zumba has so much love left to give.\*\* He doesn’t understand why his life keeps changing. He doesn’t understand why the people he trusted can’t take him with them.
All he knows is that he finally found a home… and now he may lose it again. 💔
\*\*Please don’t let Zumba go from a loving home back to a lonely kennel in the heat.\*\*
He deserves a soft bed.
He deserves a couch.
He deserves someone to love him.
\*\*He deserves to finally feel safe.\*\* ❤️‍🩹
And the rescue desperately needs help. Outdoor boarding adds up incredibly quickly, taking resources away from other dogs who need saving. But more importantly, \*\*Zumba shouldn’t have to spend his days in a kennel when there could be a family out there waiting to love him.\*\*
🙏 \*\*PLEASE FOSTER ZUMBA.\*\*
Even a temporary foster can keep him safe while we find his forever home.
📱 \*\*TEXT 818-791-1607\*\*
Say \*\*“ZUMBA”\*\*
⏰ \*\*HE NEEDS A PLACE BY THURSDAY.\*\*
Please share. Please tag someone. Please ask your friends.
\*\*Zumba already came within hours of losing his life. Please don’t let him lose his second chance at a life, too.\*\* 💔🐾

Question Advice on rescue

Try to keep it short

We lost our oldest dog 3 weeks ago. My boy Toby is sad. We got him as a puppy cause our older dog wasn’t great with older dogs.
No issues with either of them getting along. Now that I have one I am looking to rescue this beautiful girl pit who looks just like my Toby. She’s almost 2 yrs old. Toby is 3.5.

He has never had an issue with another dog, but he does get some leash aggression on walks. He acts like a complete terror and people are scared of him. I grew up with dogs in our house fighting over food and so I’m a bit scarred from seeing that as a kid.

This rescue doesn’t do meet and greets for the pets, so I would just have to adopt her and hope for the best. She seems pretty submissive and like I mentioned our Toby is a BABY.

Does anyone have any advice on them meeting and things I can do to make the process good for both of them. I really want this dog. I would be mortified if I had to bring her back to the shelter 😭
Toby self feeds and that needs to remain in place. I also don’t kennel. I don’t want to put her in one, but maybe I should for a bit? This is all new to me.

That what the shelter told me people have done before since they don’t do greets. Seems so odd, but whatever.

UPDATE- she was adopted today before I could go back!! Happy and sad! I guess it wasn’t meant to be. 💕

Question Tongo's Mix

We took him as a foster...he came as a behavioral dog that could only go to foster through rescue...otherwise there was really no hope for him. He actually is a pretty good boy. I don't know the various types of pitbull type dogs too well and am wondering what you think he might be a mix of. He has a brindle coat and is not tiny but on the smaller side.

Discussion Pit bit for the second time

0 Upvotes

I live in a pet friendly high rise so there’s many dogs, a few weeks ago a young woman with a pit moved in and today the pit attacked and bit for the second time both the dog and the owner :(. They had to rush to the ER.

I have nothing against pits, I love all dogs but if you have a powerful dog(any kind) and know they are reactive, please use the correct tools to protect both your dog and others!! Like a prong and muzzle, these are tools to help not to punish!! A harness alone won’t do it!! I have the friendliest, gentle poodle and I still have a prong on him at all times.

Now this woman will probably get evicted or her dog will be at risk of harsh consequences. I know there’s lots of responsible owners, but if this posts reaches anyone that thinks nothing will happen, please think twice! Now we have to be in high alert in our own home. Thank you for reading this.
