Amira is a 6 year old mastiff/pit mix (mostly likely an Argentine mastiff) born 10/31/2012, weighing in around 70 pounds. We started fostering her as an 8 week old pup, and after learning she was deaf, we let her stay! While not a snuggler, she is an absolute people lover!! She enjoys walks on the trail, laying in the sunshine on the deck, and always having her favorite humans in sight. Being deaf, she does not get along well with other dogs and only has one other doggie friend in this world. She would do best in a home as an only dog, or with a large male who is calm but in charge. She does very well on her own and really prefers to be with people. She does know sit, and is always watching her people so she doesn’t wander off. She is EXCELLENT on a leash. She does enjoy children! But any children in the home should be dog savvy and respect her space, as she is deaf and could easily startle while asleep. Overall, Amira is the sweetest girl you could meet!

We adore our Amira girl!!! This has been an extremely difficult decision on our part, and we are only offering Amira up for adoption after some life changing events in our life that requires us to re-home some of our rescued fur babies to be more fair to them. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!!

Cat Friendly: No (unless the cat doesn’t interact with the dog)
Kid Friendly: Yes, but children need to be respectful of a deaf dog (ie don't startle dog when asleep)
House Trained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes

Every month, Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue recognizes one dog that has been in our program a little longer than others to be listed as the Dog of the Month. However, October is National Pit Bull Awareness month so we're celebrating by selecting 6! Amira, Coolio, Ted, Hera, Van, & Kaisa all deserve loving homes. We are crossing our fingers that October can be their month! What exactly is Dog of the Month you ask? Well, not much is different other than their adoption fee is waived. That means the normal adoption process is still followed- references checks, a home check, and training at a facility of the adopters choosing is still required.
