Jules Pit Bull Terrier Mix Rochester, NY

REDUCED ADOPTION FEE for this sweet senior! Meet Ms. Jules! A stunning 8-year-old pit bull in search of a loving forever home for her golden years. She was adopted from us four years ago, but her challenges with other dogs have intensified, especially after a past incident where another dog came after her. Now, she can be defensive during walks when encountering other dogs.

Jules is incredibly loving and affectionate, never barks, and is fully house-trained. She enjoys attention, treats, and car rides, making her a delightful companion. However, she does face some challenges. While she generally gets along with children, overly energetic and loud kids can make her anxious, causing her to shake and refuse food.

She’s also uncomfortable in environments with other pets, which means she’s more of a homebody. Car rides are fine, but she prefers to avoid places with other dogs. Grooming can be tricky too; she dislikes having her nails trimmed and can be difficult to bathe. Additionally, loud noises can frighten her.

Jules is returning to us due to the growing noise and energy in her current home, especially with two younger boys. She would thrive in a quieter environment, ideally with older teens or no kids at all, and no other pets. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for her to enjoy outdoor time safely or someone with a backyard they can take her out on a leash. She doesn't need a lot of exercise at this stage of her life - just lots of love!

Time is of the essence for Jules! She’s currently in a short-term situation, but her foster family is expecting a new baby in just a week or two. If we can’t find her a suitable foster or adoptive home, she may have to stay with other dogs, which is not ideal for her. If you or someone you know has a pet-free home where this sweet, dignified lady can thrive—either to foster or adopt at a reduced fee—please reach out! Let’s give Jules the peaceful home she deserves!

Adoption fee covers: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip after 6 months of age at our clinic, $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes, and lifetime support of rescue.

We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.

PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (NOT including Canada for puppies who haven’t yet gotten their rabies shot - sorry!)
