Otis is the newest Entry into The Top 15 Extraordinary Pit Bulls Contest. We are a little late posting his entry, due to some technical difficulties with this page, but we are all good now! Please like comment, share and save the post for your vote!

Otis the wild child.

In 2021 we lost our amazing rescue Pitbull from Named Dexter. We adopted him older but he gave us his best years! We knew we needed to rescue another Pitbull, so we waited for the one to find us. Otis was placed up for adoption in October and the second my partner and I saw his face our hearts melted and we knew that was our next dog.

Otis came into our home October 30th 2021, he was rescued from a killer shelter in Texas. They say your next dog after losing one was sent to you, and I couldn’t believe this more now. He has the fullest heart, he loves so unconditionally, he loves to cuddle, spend time on the couch with you, be near you at all times, and absolutely loves to sleep in bed with you or without you.

Otis has some fear with cars, and new objects he’s never seen before, but with more and more exposure he gains confidence. He LOVES snow, walks, and bike rides but most of all he loves his best friend (beagle) lil dex, he has a weird love for nibbling on your toes and enjoys chasing his tail around and growls at it when he catches it.

Otis came into our lives at the perfect moment, he brings a smile and laughter into our lives each and everyday. He’s an extraordinary boy, and with a quick little tail wag and a giant pitty smile he makes everyone fall in love with him.

COOPER

Cooper is a 2yr old pit bull mix I adopted from the Peace Regional SPCA February 15, 2020. His picture was posted on social media and I fell in love with him instantly.
Cooper is a shy boy with tons of personality once he feels comfortable with you. And once he does, be prepared for head nudges for a back scratch and lots of kisses. He loves his feline siblings, Leo and Nova and his best friend Kali, a golden retriever.
Going in the car, off leash runs, exploring, and naps are his favorite things to do.
Cooper is so gentle, loving, loyal, my ever present companion. Life wouldn’t be the same without him 💙

Henry is a 2 year old American Pit Bull German shepherd cross. We started fostering him through in May 2021 after we suddenly lost our last pitty.

Meet Gucci! He is entered into the TOP 15 EXTRAORDINARY PIT BULLS of Alberta contest! Please make sure to like, comment and share your vote!

Hi everyone My name is Gucci I am a 3 year old American Pitbull Terrier, I was rescued when I was 8 weeks old.

My pawrent's tell me everyday what a good boy I am, and how much they love me, and they spoil me to pieces. I am basically your everyday house hippo.

My life hasn't always been easy, I was an anxious boy at one time I had more fear of everyone then they should have had with me, people always haven't been nice and accepting of my breed, my mom and dad found this girl and she taught my parents how to make me the bestest boy I could become and to show people my breed can be lovable and nice, she's the best. I also have my very own toy maker, and photographer. I have a favorite pet store who makes sure I'm on the best diet, as I have allergies if I eat what I'm not supposed to.

I love all dogs my favorite animals are cats my best friend is my little brother Frosty💙 he's a black cat. I do have a great life and I love my pack. Love Gucci

Symbol is 9 and I started fostering her from when she was just a few months old. She had parvo and still had so much love to give. We formed a strong bond and I knew I had to adopt her. She has had tplo surgery on both legs. She has been a great dog to introduce to the over 50 fosters I have had with her. She loves to play ball, go on road trips and she is a regular blood donor for the Canadian Animal Blood Bank.

Meet Dexter! He is entered into the TOP 15 EXTRAORDINARY PIT BULLS of Alberta Contest. Make sure you like, comment, and share your vote. It all helps when when choosing the winners!

Dexter was rescued from a rural community because he was being attacked by other dogs and wouldn't defend himself. In spite of his poor experiences with other dogs, he lives happily and peacefully with 4 others. His favorite being his sister Tangerine. They can often be found chasing each other around the yard and when no one's looking, sneaking in some kisses. He enjoys adventures by the river, walks with the other dogs, riding shotgun on road trips and rolling in dead stuff 😉

Meet Franklin! He has been entered into the TOP EXTRAORDINARY PIT BULLS of Alberta Contest. Be sure to like, comment, share and save this post as it all helps his chances of being chosen.

This amazing dog was rescued by from the dumpster area behind a grocery store, where he was seen dragging around his back end, suffering from mange, lack of nutrition, and a fear of the world.

Franklin has bilateral limb deformity which means both of his femurs and tibias have developed with an extreme bow in them due to his patella or kneecap being displaced to the inside of his legs and scarred tightly into that position. It is possible that he was dumped, and based on fearful his behaviour, probably mistreated as well.

From the moment he moved into foster, he surprisingly seemed to feel most comfort with the children in the home, and quickly became very close friends with the other dogs too, who accepted him immediately and taught him “how to dog.”

Although he was visibly afraid, his sweet & calm demeanor began to shine through every day as he began to finally feel what it’s like to be safe.

Not only did his loving personality slowly begin to return- he totally exceeded the expectations of what his quality of life would be because of his medical condition. Initially, it was doubtful that he would ever walk unassisted, but his strength and perseverance proved otherwise. Although a little bent and unconventional- He soon mastered ”dog things” like the stairs, wrestling, Aqua-walks, zoomies... 5KM adventures in his wheels and even playing in the snow. (on skis)

And after all this hard work & progress, his foster family loved him so much couldn’t possibly give him up... He was already home.

Franklin is one tough guy... and living proof that no matter what kind of past a rescue dog has had, love and TLC can repair a broken spirit.

Entry for TOP 15 EXTRAORDINARY PIT BULLs of Alberta! Make sure you like, comment, share and save this post if you voting for Angel!

Angel 👼 she’s my rock, part of my soul. I could not imagine my life without her.
She came to us when we were fostering roughly 4 years ago. The rescue (SCARS) asked us ‘would you take on a pregnant dog?’ I said the same answer I had for all over dogs…… ‘when do I pick her up?’
She was pregnant, and living outside in the dead of winter.
We had never experienced puppy pregnancy before and boy did we just jump right in.
Two days into fostering she gave birth to 10 puppies.
What a whirl wind experience that was! Many good times and never ending cuteness!

Unfortunately the rescue was not able to get Angel surrendered, but only her puppies. So once her puppies were old enough to be without their momma she was spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and returned. I cried my eyes out knowing she was going back to nothing. Going back to live outside under a deck. It’s horrible how there is no power to remove dogs from unsuitable living in certain areas.
Two months later we got a
Call from one of the rural pounds. They had found Angel wandering the highways up north. Owners abandoned her.
We rushed and picked her up as soon as we heard. We told scars, we are adopting this girl, I already lost her once and I can’t do it again. She was finally home.
Through her Settling in period we noticed different things like: being scared of the broom, the door, fast hand motions etc we knew she was probably not treated well in the past, and we actually found a bullet that had healed over in her leg.

Through all the hardships, Angel teaches us everyday that things will be ok, things will get better, by the loving look on her face, the kisses she gives every morning, the snuggles she always offers. She is truly one of a kind, she teaches us to live each day to the fullest and be grateful for what you have❤️❤️ she will never have to sleep outside, or wonder if she’s getting a meal. She is home. She is family.

My name is Huxx. I am 7 years old. I am a pitbull/mastiff cross. I recently got a little brother. I love playing fetch, going for walks and spending time at the lake. I would prefer not to take baths, and I am scared of my dads cell phone ring. I love snuggles and would sleep all day if I could!

➡️

My name is Bronx. I am 1.5 years old. I am a very sweet boy . I LOVE to lick anything and everything. I love cheese, running with my brother and long naps on the couch. I'm not really fond of listening but for a blueberry or a carrot I'll do just about anything.
