Malicai, pit bull terrier and cattle dog mix
Malicai is a sweet male pit bull terrier and cattle dog mix currently housed at California Pit Bull Rescue.
Malicai gets along well with other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. California Pit Bull Rescue, however, recommends he be placed in a home without small children. Malicai has already had all of his shots, and he is neutered. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.
Notes from Malicai's caretakers:
Malicai can be pretty shy when he first meets new people, but he warms up quickly. He is extremely treat-motivated and loves to please. His favorite activity is going for walks.

Diva, pit bull terrier mix
Diva is a female pit bull terrier mix in the care of California Pit Bull Rescue.
Diva loves other dogs. Her ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Diva would prefer a home without small children. No need to worry: She is already house-trained. Diva is spayed, and she has had all her shots.
Here's what Diva's friends at California Pit Bull Rescue think of her:
Diva can be shy and uncomfortable with people she doesn't know and may bark at unfamiliar people, but she mostly tends to move away when unsure. She's shown fear toward toddlers and may do best with older children. If Diva is given space and time to warm up, she relaxes quickly and is interested in interacting.
