Dollop, pit bull terrier

Dollop is a male pit bull terrier in the care of California Pit Bull Rescue.

Dollop loves other dogs, but he is looking for a cat-free household. He is already house-trained, neutered and vaccinated.

From Dollop's current caretaker:

Dollop will give you dollops of kisses! This stunner is approximately 60 pounds, 1.5 years old, crate-trained, potty-trained and rides well in the car. Dollop is very good with other dogs, big and small, and loves a good play session! He may take a few minutes to warm up to new people, and then when he is comfortable, he reveals his very affectionate personality. Dollop likes to play fetch and go on walks, and for a young pup, his level of energy is quite moderate!

Little Booboo, American Staffordshire terrier

Little Booboo is a lovable female American Staffordshire terrier currently housed at California Pit Bull Rescue.

Little Booboo needs special time to bond with you: She'll need a home free of other dogs, cats and children. She is already house-trained, spayed and has had all her shots.

From Little Booboo's current caretaker:

This beautiful girl is Booboo, and she is a 5-6-year-old American pit bull terrier. Little Booboo is the perfect size at about 40 pounds, and she's already spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines.
