Well, it's only been almost a year now and I am finally getting around to thanking you for letting me foster/adopt Aiko. I fell in love with him the minute I saw him, and soon after starting as his foster, it became apparent that I couldn't let him go.
Telling my parents I was adopting a Pit Bull made them a bit leery. They said I should be careful when adopting "Damaged Goods", dogs that in their mind, might have been in the pound for a good reason. Not believing that any breed is "created evil" I took the plunge and adopted him. Everywhere I go I get compliments on how gorgeous he is and how well behaved. Aiko is an amazing dog, patient, happy-go-lucky, and always willing to please. He is changing people's perspectives with every kiss he gives and "paw" he shakes. It is because of his temperament and determination to make me, his owner, happy that he has excelled in Obedience classes and has even earned his AKC Canine Good Citizenship.
He gets along fine with other dogs and cats, as well as kids and strangers. I never thought my first dog would be a Pit Bull, but I am sure glad he was. It's just a shame that the eagerness to please and do whatever the owner wants is this wonderful breed's gift, and curse. Slowly, the world will convert, one blind eye at a time to the wonders of adopting "damaged goods". Your organization is simply amazing and You are changing the world, one happy wagging tail at a time. I thank you from the bottom of All our hearts, Especially Aiko's. ~~Renae

Shyla is a dog in our rescue program that when we received her was approximately 100 lbs, which for her breed is about 30 lbs overweight! Click Shyla's picture to read more about her and what her foster home did to help assist her in losing some of this excess weight.
Shyla is in need of a forever home. If you would like to provide her a loving home, who will not allow her to regain the weight she has lost, please fill out a pre-adoption application.
All of this week's urgent dogs have found safety with local rescue organizations.

Matty is a wonderful dog who has been waiting a long time for a foster or forever home. In order to help Matty learn doggie manners and general obedience Abby worked with Matty this past Friday night. Matty enjoyed the treats he got during the session and loved the positive attention he received. It will take more than one session to get Matty up to speed on tasks such as walking well on leash but he and the volunteers that work with him are eager to do the doggie homework that Abby gave them.
Stay tuned for updates on Matty’s training and Abby’s work
with Pawsitive Vybe. Abby can be contacted at
