Just what the titles says...
Ok so it's not mine but I'm watching her over the weekend and hopefully on my vacation.


Coco(Real original name huh?) is a 4 month old brown and white pit bull who is as sweet as pie. Her and Scooby have been wrestling all evening and I'm sure she'll sleep well tonight... Or at least I hope.

I only have her because my friend's sister owns her and is trying to find a home for her. Her sister is having a rough time right now and it's best for her not to have a puppy to deal with. It's going to be hard but we want to find a really good home for her.

Send good thoughts for Coco... She needs them!!

Awww... Thanks for asking.

Unfortunatly we have not found her a home yet. People hear the term "Pit Bull" and we've lost their attention. My friend has not recieved any calls yet from the posters she's put up and frankly it's getting discouraging.

She's not getting the exercise she needs nor is she getting the training. I'd love to take her but my furries all voted a big NO!!

Aww sorry to hear you're having trouble finding her a home..
Unfortunately though you're right, Pit-bulls do seem to have a bad reputation...
lots of good thoughts coming your way to find lickle Coco a good home!!

Here's a thought - don't advertise her as a Pit Bull. Too many horror stories associated with that title.
Advertise her as a full-bred Staforshire Terrier. You may at least get some people interested, and once they meet her and see she isn't a horrible monster, they may change their minds about it. At least you could get them in the door, and perhaps re-educate them about the breed.

Another one sending lots of love and positive energy to this sweet little girl.

Heidi, that's a good idea but unfortunatly the local pound already does that with Pits they have up for adoption and it doesn't work. Often they'll call the dog a lab mix(which is wrong to do) but once people see that block head they're turned off.

I get the same reaction when people see Scooby(Rotti cross). His tail will be failing everywhere, his tounge is hanging out of his mouth in a big goofy grin but some people sneer at him or make rude comments.

I am so sorry you have not found her a home. I wish you were closer to me. I would love to have her. I just love Pit Bulls! I have owned them before and mine were really good dogs. All they ever want is someone to love them! I hope she gets a good home very soon!

As with every animal - you get in return what you put in!! My neighbor has the sweetest little pit bull - he wants to visit with anyone he sees and when he gets close to you he flopps on his back, legs up and wants a bell rub - donsen't matter if he knows you or not!:tounge2: :tounge2:


Good luck in your search - hope you find a home for the sweety soon!

PS: I love rotties!! They are just such sweeties

Yes, I considered it but when we puppysat her for that weekend it just threw every animal in the house out of wack. She kept jumping on poor Natala who's back and hips are very weak so Natala stayed with Brian's grandmother and poor Scooby got tired of having her hang off his face. He wound up having an infection from it!

And the poor cats were so good about it but you could tell they were very stressed out.

I sure hope this puppy finds a home. If you lived near here, I would have a home for it in a heartbeat...I have a friend who LOVES pit bulls...and hers came up missing several months ago...she has searched everywhere, and had ads running in all the papers.... but no luck. Someone called her that found a pit bull....and she went to see it, but it wasn't hers. It was obviously dumped by someone, and starving, so she adopted it..and I know she would take this one too, if she lived closer.

I have a thing against pit-bulls, as my first cat was killed by one. The dog had gotten off the lead, ran into the house and killed poor Reg. It was horrible. Sorry to be negative about them.
