Blanca

Blanca and her siblings came to PBRSD after animal control caught someone trying to bring them into the country illegally. Since they were so young, the shelter wasn't the best environment for them, so off to loving foster homes they went!

Gentle yet full of puppy playfulness, she's always up for a good game of chase with other friendly dogs that she gets along well with. She's currently being fostered with other dogs, as well as 7-month old and a 4 year old children and has done terrific with them.

At heart, Blanca is a lap dog, never passing up a chance to snuggle and get lots of love. She's also a darn good kisser and will happily offer out slobbery kisses in return for a good belly rub. When she's not crawling up into someone's lap, she likes to chew on cow hooves and other tasty treats.

This sweet girl is now housetrained, crate trained, and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, down and come. She's also great on leash and enjoys car rides. While she's got a great start on her obedience, her new family is strongly encouraged to enroll her in positive reinforcement classes in order to give her a well-rounded foundation in doggie manners.

Blanca's ideal home will be one where she's a cherished indoor member of the family, but also have a yard to play with your other friendly dog(s), and even kids. One important thing that potential adopters need to know about her is that she has proven to be an escape artist when left to her own devices. She can effortlessly scale chain link and wooden fences up to six feet high, hence the need for twice daily walks. She would also make a great jogging partner.

All in all, she's a wonderful little lady who will thrive with human companionship. Now that you've read her story, if you think that Blanca and your family would make a good match, please submit an adoption application today!

Adopting me will be a lifelong commitment, and my new family needs to be ready, willing and able to provide me not only with lots of love as an indoor member of the family, but also with ongoing training and socialization.

Note about puppies: Many people want to adopt pit bull puppies because they feel that, by adopting them younger, there is less chance that they will be aggressive as they get older. While human aggression is not a predisposed standard trait of this breed, a very real likelihood of maturing into canine aggression does exist. Good socialization will certainly help with the aggression that any unsocialized breed might have as they get older. This aggression can be bourne from the fear of the unknown and socialization early and often is the best solution to this. Unfortunately, there is also a component of some pit bulls that is a genetic canine aggression (aggression towards other dogs). This cannot be socialized out and generally does not manifest itself until they reach maturity, which can be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years of age. If you are adopting a puppy to include into a multi-dog family, be aware that, through no fault of his own, this puppy can mature into a dog that might be unpredictable with the other dogs in your family and out in the world. This is not a certainty by any means but something that a responsible pit bull owner should know and be aware of.

Please note that Pit Bull Rescue San Diego does not adopt on a first come first served basis. Generally we have formed an opinion about the sort of home that we want for each of the dogs in our program. This opinon is formed from knowing each dog and observing their interactions in various situations and through periodic evaluations. Our goal is to place our charges in the home that is the best possible for that particular dog. Our only goal is happiness and forever homes for our dogs. A forever home is most likely to happen when we do the best we can to find lifestyles and personalities that match.

We are aware that this is a human process and that you may or may not agree with our decisions. Please understand that we take very seriously the lives placed in our hands for this brief time and our decisions are only made out of protectiveness for the breed and the specific dogs we are placing and not out of any judgment of you or your life.
