Pookie gets along well with kids, dogs or cats. He is already house-trained. He's already neutered and he has all his shots.

Pookie is not a charmer. He is self-important and will love you, once he knows you. Pookie is now 11, outliving his past owner and ready for a spoiled retirement. Please know the breed or read up before inquiring. He is a grumpy dude. Pookie can live with children who respects his boundaries, other small to medium dogs and he is good with cats. Pookie loves walks, car rides and is a great guard dog. He is easy to groom once you have gained his trust. Pookie likes to sit on the lap, being carried or lifted.

Cookie is the oddest pit bull we have ever seen and her personality matches that too. She is turning senior, that's eight or nine but plays like nobody's business. At around 30 pounds, she is a joy to play with and doesn't wear you out. Affection comes often from Cookie, but is mixed in with some pretend air-snapping. This lady has humor. Cookie is can be walked safely by older children. She likes to sled and be dressed up. She is looking ready to win your neighborhood ugliest dog contest.

Mash will get along great with your other dogs. He already has all of his shots, neutered and is already house-trained.
From Mash's current caretaker:
Mash came to us with very lacking social skills but this big boy has bloomed. He loves life, playtime with other dogs, car rides and toys. Although Mash is a big boy, his brain is not proportionate, so he needs to be monitored to not swallow things. He does perfect in foster care and is crate trained. Mash is the perfect dog for you if your dog is wearing you out. He is short, 75 pounds of cannonball and two-years old. He knows sit and paw and will roll over if you have a treat. Mash likes to be submissive in play and he prefers getting chased.

Peppa, pit bull terrier
Peppa is a darling female pit bull terrier dog staying at Rebel Dogs Detroit.
Peppa is a social animal and she'll get along great with other dogs. She's vaccinated, spayed and has mastered her house-training etiquette.
Notes from Peppa's caretakers:
Peppa came to us as an owner-surrender. She is a tiny package of the best a pit bull has to offer: she walks good on the leash, plays perfect with her toys inside and outdoors. Peppa is potty-trained and does not chew much. She plays with other dogs in an enthusiastic way, is a bit of a slobber and mouthing is to be expected. Peppa would do great in a home with another pit bull with a similar desire for play.
