The Pit Mix

Education and Advocacy for all "bully breed" dogs, working to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Rehome animals in need. Thank you to all our supporters and adopters.

I have been rescuing and rehoming pit bulls and similar breeds since 2005, when I took in my first pit bull and "spokesdog", Lola. The purpose of this group is to bring together fellow supporters, owners and advocates of misunderstood breeds to create a broad support system. We can provide a wealth of information, education and resources while we also continuously work to rescue, rehab and rehome

dogs as well. The Pit Mix is NOT a non profit (YET!) and we are NOT a shelter. This started with one woman who simply refused to settle for helping just one when there are so many more in distress and in need. The breed is horribly misused, mistreated and misunderstood. I am on a lifelong mission to change the course of the pit bull destiny by proving their worth and value to families as well as society. The Pit Mix has helped place nearly 70 dogs since its establishment. Several of our dogs have also become various service pets, allowing us to not only find these dogs a home, but a job and purpose which this breed so desperately craves. In the next several years, The Pit Mix intends to grow and expand, with the hopes of increasing our opportunities to place bully breeds in service positions to help put them in the public eye in a positive way. The Pit Mix would not exist without you.

Baby Auggie and his doting doggies...

I didn’t have the strength to post this sooner - and I am just barely able to say this now - but I wanted to let our fans and followers know that we laid to rest our precious ambassador dog Lola a little over week ago. as many of you know, Lola was the inspiration behind at all and spent over 16 years at my side, devoted to my life in so many ways. Lola shared every adult moment of my life from the day I moved out of my mother’s house at 18 years old. I saved her life and she saved mine, many times over. She was the center of my world for so many years and held a huge piece of my heart that went with her when she finally had to leave us. Life will simply never be the same without her here.

Lola suffered from canine cognitive dysfunction for the last couple years. She had arthritis and was slowly going blind and deaf, but she always had a pep in her step and had more good days than bad. It wasn’t until the last couple weeks of her life that Lola seemed to take a sharp turn, unable to keep anything more control her bowels, then blood appearing where it shouldn’t...

I made the difficult decision to end her suffering, as she had already devoted over 16 amazing years to me and all I ever asked of her was that she’d live long enough to meet my first born child. I didn’t realize she would have to wait so long to fulfill that promise, but so incredibly grateful that she did!

Lola will forever be my “kid before kids” and the inspiration behind my rescue work and my passion for bully breeds. She taught me patience, responsibility, love and respect. She showed me how to be a mother, a sister, a friend. She was as loyal to me as I was devoted to her and I am eternally grateful that I got to be her person...

I take comfort in the many years of memories...

Thank you, Lola, for making my life so full...

Our silly foster boy Chase is approximately 8 months old, neutered, chipped and UTD on all vaccines and preventatives. This energetic goofball is dog, cat AND kid friendly! He just needs a family with the patience to handle his typical puppy behaviors and give him the love and attention he truly deserves! Please contact us for more info on how you can foster to adopt Chase today!

Don’t let this dog’s age fool you. At 4 years old, Cesar is a loving, happy, and puppy-like dog. His previous owner could no longer care for him as he deserves and unfortunately had to give him up. Another rescue had him in their care and sadly set him up for failure. He didn’t do well in his previous adoption and he has been in a foster ever since. He aims to please. One min he will be playing and the next, he’s snuggled up next to you on the couch. He would do best with active adults. Have not introduced him yet to cats, but does have two new brothers he enjoys playing with at his foster home. He is neutered and up to date on shots. If you are interested in meeting Cesar, please message us.

Friends of The Pit Mix have taken in this sweet boy. His name is Chase, 8 months old. Neutered, chipped, up to date on all of his shots. Dog, cat and kid friendly, but perhaps a bit too rambunctious for cats and kids under 10. He is such a love and hoping to find him the perfect home. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting Chase 🐾

A dream came true today: I have always asked my sweet dog Lola to please live long enough to meet my firstborn child. I’ve had Lola since I was about seventeen or eighteen and she has been by my side through every adult moment, all of life’s ups and downs. She has saved my life on multiple occasions and I hers...

Lola is sixteen now and suffers from arthritis and dementia. She is also a bit deaf and quickly losing her eyesight, but still has a spring in her step... MOST days. The dementia is the hardest part and can be a real struggle sometimes, but she holds on and seems determined to see her next birthday.

I am just so incredibly grateful that the very dog who started me on a lifelong path of rescuing and rehabilitating hundreds of other dogs like her has made it to this very moment. She has finally met Auggie and simply loves our new baby boy. I can feel contented knowing she held her promise if she doesn’t live long enough to see seventeen. Lola was my “kid before kids” in so many ways and I will always cherish this incredible dog who filled my life with so much love and taught me so many lessons about loyalty, commitment, patience and sacrifice.

“Lola, you will always be my first love.”
