I was rescued by the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County and am now safe. I was told my bio will be updated once the adoption counselors get to know me a little better.

Gracie, pit bull terrier mix

Gracie is a female pit bull terrier puppy currently housed at Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue.

Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, and she hasn't been spayed yet. She still needs some guidance on proper house training.

Contact Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue for information about Gracie's compatibility with kids and other pets.

From Gracie's caretaker:

She may be the smallest but knows no fear. Curious, fearless, an adventurous spirit indeed. When presented with new territory, she is the first to charge ahead to see what’s there! She was bottle fed after only a few hours with her mother. The mother was a stray and not with them growing up. Mother is about 35 pounds and father unknown. She has been held and handled every day of her life so welcomes human touch. Gracie is very loving and has such a sweet demeanor. She is 12 pounds of pure angel.

Nellie, pit bull terrier mix

Nellie is a female pit bull terrier puppy currently residing at Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue.

Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, and she hasn't been spayed yet. She's still working on getting house trained.

Contact Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue for information about Nellie's compatibility with kids and other pets.

From Nellie's caretaker:

She is vocal, seems to like that alpha role, and has perhaps an entitled air about her. She communicates with growling at times, stretches out in your arms while being cradled, is often found on top of the laundry basket or plastic bin looking down on the others. She was bottle fed after only a few hours with her mother. The mother was a stray and not with them growing up. She has been held and handled every day of her life so welcomes human touch. She is 13 pounds of “I’m too cute for my dirty paws” self, and will win you over with those eyes.

Bam Bam, pit bull terrier

Bam Bam is a male pit bull terrier puppy being cared for at Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue.

His vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, and he hasn't been neutered yet. He's still working on getting house trained.

There's no information on Bam Bam's profile about how he does with children or other animals, so it's worth asking Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue directly.

From Bam Bam's caretaker:

Pebbles, Bambam and their mama Liv would like to thank you all for your love and support ... If this is your first time seeing this family, about 4 weeks ago they were dumped behind a gas station next to a dumpster. It was 32 degrees that evening. Something happened and mama dog was shot in her left front leg so we had to amputate it. A Good Samaritan saw them and called Memphis Animal Services, who came out and picked up Liv and her puppies. We rescued them from the shelter. All are doing well, Liv is still recovering though. She is doing great at being a tripod. Liv is pittie strong with the best pittie heart.

Very submissive. Will let you hold her like a baby. She is trusting and kind. Loves to walk around with a toy in her mouth. Knows two commands and is good with other dogs. Easy going mild puppy!
