Meg - A752452 - Pit Bull Mix

Meg is a 2 year old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 3/14/08.

Meg was found as a stray. When she passed dogs in other cages she sniffed and that was it. There was a huge dog that came out. I think it was a St. Bernard and she was a little nervous about it. She came to me and jumped on me. When the dog left she remained excited, so I had to try and calm her down.

Meg is looking for her forever home.

Hazel - A752506 - Pit Bull Mix

Hazel is a 6 month old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 3/14/08.

Hazel was an absolute pleasure. She was excited to be out and liked to hang out with me when I sat down. She appeared to be okay with other dogs. When she came in contact with them, she just sniffed and went her way.

Hazel is looking for her forever home.

Randol - A741747 - Pit Bull Mix

Randol is a 4 month old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 12/10/07.

For only 4 months old this little pup is a leader. He has a mind of his own and definitely uses it. He needs some training. He's only 4 months old so it shouldn't be a surprise. It was challenging to get him to walk by my side without pulling the leash. I don't even thing I accomplished my goal :( Oh well...

Randol loves to play and gets excited around other dogs.

He is looking for his forever home.

Dora - A734382 - Pit Bull

Dora is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/16/07.

Dora is a very confident independent dog. She does well on her own. She is a curious dog who will wander off. She would follow me for a minute then stop and go about her own way. She's a free spirit. She's not much of a cuddle bug but she does like to play and can get excited. We started to run with her and she loved it but then she got very excited and started to jump and nibble a little too much. She just needs a strong hand and a dominant leader.

Alex - A734141 - Pit Bull

Alex is a 2 year old pit bull. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/14/07.

Alex was found as a stray. He was laying curled up in his cage with his ears all floppy. Turns out he was not feeling so well. He threw up, but it must of been a good thing for him because after that he was one playful pup. He just loves to be held. It was challenging trying to get a shot of him without him on us because the minute we stopped he would be all over us.

We tried to play ball with him but he wasn't a ball player. He's more of a love bug and lap dog.

Alex is waiting for his forever home.

Jackie - A733516 - Pit Bull

Jackie is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/10/07.

Jackie was found as a stray. She is extremely playful. She loves to play ball. She started to get possessive of the ball, but all we had to do was "claim the ball," as Cesar would say. We kept it between our feet and blocked it from her. Then we picked it up and threw it. When she ran back with the ball she would drop it. Yeah! Before, she would run to us and then fake us out. She would act like she was going to give it to us but then run by us. Dogs are incredibly smart and cunning!

She didn't take to puddles either. She would jump over them. I guess she didn't like getting her paws wet.

Jackie would make an incredible companion.

Denim - A705891 - Pit Bull

Denim is a 10 month old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/15/07.

Denim is a beautiful dog. It is unfortunate that she was given up because her foster children's inspector objected to a pit bull as a pet. I guess he hasn't seen my *Kids for Pits" campaign (http://www.maxtheshelterdog.com/kidsforpits.html).

Denim is truly a playful little dog. She loves to cuddle and kiss. When she first came out of her cage she was running and pulling on the leash. But after a few times around the roof she calmed down and walked in line. The foster children are missing out on a great companion.

Mase - A733850 - Pit Bull

Mase is a 2 year old pit bull. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 10/12/07. He was found as a stray.

Mase is a very dominant and strong dog. He needs some heavy duty leash manners. He loves to be massaged and cuddled and kissed. Actually, he demands it :)

I was only able to get 2 shots of him because he was a little obsessed with the camera. Everytime I took it out he would go for it.

Mase needs a strong owner with great leadership skills.

Hubert - A730408 - Pit Bull

Hubert is a 2 year old pit bull. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/20/07.

Hubert was very timid in his cage. He was shaking and growled at me. I sat down and gave him my back to sniff. He stretched his head as far as possible in order to sniff me. He wouldn't move his feet. He then went back to where he was laying down. I looked at him and he decided to come towards me again. He put his nose between the bars and kissed me. I then took him out and guess what? That big bugger took me for a ride. Boy is he fast, he pulled and pulled and ran and ran :)

Once outside he was so happy. He reminded me of Daddy from Cesar's pack in the way that he walked. He's so big, he waddles :) He's a true love bug and I am so happy I spent time with him today. Although he is sick (his stool was all blood) he was as jolly as could be and as playful as any other dog.

Annie - A730631 - Pit Bull

Annie is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/22/07.

Annie is an incredible little dog. She jumped and whined in her cage for attention and of course I had to take her out. She is so cute. She walked so easily by my side and when I let go of the leash she ran for it. She galloped and spun around and jumped for joy. She was FREE!

I played ball with her. I threw it in the air and she jumped and caught it. She would bring it back and put it down. When I would try and take it she would hit it with her paw. There was no aggression. She wanted me to take it so I could throw it again.

When I went to wash the ball with the hose she would try and drink the water. It would splash her and she would perk her ears with curiousity.

She's amazing and is looking for her forever home.

Mr. - A728290 - Pit bull

Mr. is a pit bull. His age is unknown. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/12/07.

Mr. is such a wonderful dog. I saw a note on his kennel that said he was adopted. Let's hope it goes through. Still, this little gem was wonderful to be with. He loves treats, knows how to sit and enjoys drinking water from the hose. He's very playful and loves to give hugs and kisses :)

Jerry - A728834 - Pit Bull Mix

Jerry is a 3 year old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/11/07.

Jerry was a seeing eye dog and was found as a stray.

He was a wonderful dog to say the least. He walked immediately by my side without any fuss. We did have a stand off though. I let go of the leash and walked off and he didn't follow. I guess being a seeing eye dog maybe he should be in charge, not sure how that works. Anyway, when I realized he wasn't following me, I turned back and called for him, but he just sat there. We stood facing each other for a while and then I decided to go about my business. And who should come following me shortly after, yep, Jerry. That was easy!

Junior - A726396 - Pit Bull Mix

Junior is a 1 year and 5 month old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/27/07.

Junior was very deceiving. He was quiet and calm in his cage. I thought, a calm dog, this is good. Okay, when I got him outside, boy was he a ball of energy. I couldn't keep him still. He didn't run, he galloped :) I had no choice but to run with him. Good exercise but it's just too hot. Anyway, I tried to keep up with him. I gave it my best. After a while he exhausted himself and started to walk by my side. Yeah!!!! I noticed he liked to dip his paws in a puddle. Everytime we were about to pass it, he would veer towards it and soak his paws. He's beautiful!

T-Bone - A727198 - Pit Bull Mix

T-Bone is a 1 year and 6 month old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/31/07. He was brought in as a stray.

What a wonderful dog T-Bone is. He is such a good dog. At first he was walking ahead of me very fast. I tried to catch up, and when I did, we walked right by each other's side. After a while he started to follow me :)

When we stopped to rest, we cuddled with lots of hugs and kisses. He then sat by my feet and rested.

T-Bone is amazing. He doesn't bark that loud. When he tries to bark it doesn't come out loud and forceful, but it's almost like he's not sure of himself. He whines a funny whine too. I love this dog. I would take him home in a second if I could.

T-Bone is waiting for a safe and loving home.

Peaches - A727314 - Pit Bull Mix

Peaches is a 3 year old pit bull mix. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/1/07. She was found tied to a door.

Whoever had Peaches obviously wanted her to look mean, but it didn't work. She's a sweetheart. Unfortunately, she has already become sick. She was laying in her cage and threw up a couple of times. I decided to take her out to give her some much needed fresh air.

Peaches walked very close by my side. She didn't pull the leash either, maybe because she was too sick :( By the time she was brought back into her cage she looked a lot better. There's nothing like some good old fashion fresh air to do the trick.

Peaches is looking for her forever home.

Biscuit - A722668 - Pit Bull

Biscuit is a one year and six month old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 8/6/07.

Biscuit was the first dog I took out today. She was very active. She did her business and then wanted to play. She jumped at the leash and started to pull and play tug-of-war. In 85 degree weather with no shade..... I don't think so... Do you know how challenging it is to get a pittie to stop playing tug-o-war? Very.. Usually what I do is ignore and not pull. If I don't pull, then there's no game. Most of the time they just start playing themselves and shaking the leash to death. Ha, Ha :)

Needless to say, she was so into playing that I couldn't get any photos of her. So later I saw her with another volunteer. "Hey," I said, "Why is Biscuit so calm with you and she was so playful and energetic with me?" Goes to show you that it's all about energy. Maybe she thought I was her equal... I don't know.. it's too complicated to figure out. I'm just glad I got some shots of her so you can see how beautiful she is.
