Come meet some of our amazing dogs at this Sunday’s event! It’s Raining Cats and Dogs will bring together multiple rescues, all with the same mission… finding loving homes for pets in need. Even if you’re not looking to adopt, stop by, say hi, and let some adorable cats and dogs brighten your day!

ChicaRoo is still waiting to give all her love to her furever person! This sweet girl is currently in board and train at ModifiedK9 in Everett, WA, where she’s learning and growing every day.
Chica came to us very pregnant, and she was the most perfect momma. Now that her puppies have found their homes (except for sweet Chunk), it’s her turn to find a family that will cherish her forever. She’s smart, loving, and ready to be someone’s loyal companion.
Please consider opening your heart and home to ChicaRoo. If you can’t adopt, sharing her story helps more than you know!

Live tv with dogs or kids can be unpredictable, and Rascal the giant puppy proved that recently on NBC Right Now. “Hi everyone! No I don’t want to sit here that’s boring, who is that over there? Hi! Who is that dog on the screen? Bark! Hi! *belly crawl* Hi!”

He is a fantastic dog thrilled to be involved in absolutely anything and looking for his forever family. If that may be you head to https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/TPBP-A-1031

Tiny Trudy is a lap dog looking for a lap. A princess looking for her throne. A little lady looking for her best friend. She has been in foster with me since being cleared from the parvo that nearly claimed her, and she is a joy to have around.

She is about 5 months old and at 4 pounds is still a bit underweight from her illness. From her cute one perky ear to the tip of her feather duster tail she is very easy to love. She has begun potty training and is making progress, and is crate trained and well mannered in the home.

She is neutral and tolerant with other small dogs and cats and a bit wary of large dogs. Due to her tiny size, a home without young children is ideal for her safety. She adores people. Her perfect home would be a calm low key environment with lots of soft beds and cuddles, and people who know life is better with Trudy on your lap.

If you’re looking for a devoted little best friend who will love you endlessly, Trudy is your girl! She will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped before her adoption is final. She is currently located in Tricities Washington. You can apply for her at https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/TPBP-A-1049

Update- we are so devastated to share that Doc died overnight. He knew love and kindness in his last day. This didn’t need to be the way his story ended. Vaccinate your animals. There are many low cost options available.

Parvo- it’s not just puppies. While we most frequently see this virus in young dogs it can hit unvaccinated dogs of any age, as our latest patient shows. Doc’s current condition hurts to look at. He feels so sick, has a terribly matted coat, is groaning and afraid.

We are going to do everything possible to help Doc heal and thrive. We believe he can get through this and we look forward to sharing his recovery story with you all.

Please vaccinate your dogs so they don’t suffer this terrible disease. It is so contagious, and so preventable.

There may be thunder tonight, and let me tell you why that matters to one of our dogs. Zara spent her life before we met her confined to a cage outside. Through all kinds of weather she was alone and had nowhere to escape from the terrifying sounds and discomfort it brought. Dogs are resilient, but some trauma runs deep and she remains unsettled by storms and fireworks. The difference is now she has a safe foster home to shelter in, and a loving foster family to reassure her.

Zara was saved a year ago and has spent the time since then catching up on all the wonderful things life as a family member has to offer. She is a purebred German shepherd about 4 years old and has settled very well into foster home life. She is house and crate trained and loves to play.

Zara is an active breed that would love to find a role as a hiking partner or with an active family with lots of playtime. She is a strong candidate for dog sports as well. Along with her body, her brain needs exercise such as nose work as well. She requires a cat free home, but she enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well with companions of a similar personality to hers.

Zara is looking for her forever protector from the scary noises, and maybe that’s you. She is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is currently located in Tricities Washington. You can apply for her at https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/TPBP-A-994

UPDATE - We are so happy to update this post. The puppy has found a loving home :)

🐾 Tri-Cities Canine Community, We Need You! 🐾
Time and time again, our amazing rescue community has stepped up when dogs and families needed us most.
A 14-week-old puppy needs a safe place to land. A young family in our community, who set out with the very best intentions, now finds themselves facing circumstances beyond their control - barely able to meet their own basic needs, let alone provide for their beloved pup. With heavy hearts, they are doing the right thing in seeking a better future for their furry friend.
Local resources are coming together to support this family, and The Pit Bull Pen has been asked to reach out to the one group we know we can count on - YOU. Our Tri-Cities canine community has proven time and again that we rally for those in need, and this family and this pup need us now.
Can you foster or adopt? Fostering provides a safe, loving space while we find the perfect forever home. All supplies and vet care will be covered- you provide the love.
💙 If you can help, please message us or email [email protected] Every share, every comment, every connection makes a difference. Let’s do what we do best - rally together and change a life!

Hi! I'm Dozer!

We received an urgent call about a dog who had been brought to a clinic to be euthanized by his finder. Thankfully, a compassionate vet tech couldn’t let that happen, and with the clinic’s support, Dozer was given a second chance at life.
Upon examination, it was discovered that Dozer had been shot, with wounds visible from one side of his upper back to the other. Despite everything he’s been through, Dozer is nothing short of amazing.
🐾 About Dozer 🐾
* Estimated to be around 2 years old
* Dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and adores all people
* You cannot get him riled up, he is chill as ever!
* Recently neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and started on antibiotics to prevent infection from his injuries
Dozer is currently in a loving foster home, and we are so grateful to his foster for stepping up. This sweet boy deserves a life full of love and care.
Dozer is the total package - sweet, resilient, and ready for a fresh start. Not to mention GORGEOUS! We don’t expect him to be available for long, so if you’re interested in giving him the forever home he deserves, please submit an application today!

Our shepherd girls are stars! Don’t miss the opportunity to add one of them to your family

Meet MooShoo (on January 18th) - The Perfect Pup in Search of His Perfect Home! Moosh is the kind of dog who turns heads with his impeccable manners and wows everyone with his skills. Whether it’s sitting, staying, or walking politely by your side, he’s got it all down. He’s the dream dog for someone looking for a well behaved companion who’s ready to be your best friend from day one. Moosh graduated from a training program in 2023 and continues to work with his fosters on improving his obedience and etiquette. But beneath all that training is a heart full of love just waiting for his person. He’s loyal, affectionate, and ready to bond with someone who will cherish him forever. He’s not just looking for a home - he’s looking for HIS home, where he can finally settle in and be part of a family. While Moosh is great with people and kids, he does have a request: no cats, please! He is also selective with other dogs, so he would do best with a neutral canine companion or in a home where he can be the only pet and enjoy being the center of attention. Come meet this incredible boy at our adoption event at Petco in Kennewick on January 18th from 11-2. If you’re looking for a dog who’s the total package - intelligent, well-trained, and full of love - MooShoo is the one for you!

Come meet MooShoo in person! Join us on Saturday, January 18th, at the Kennewick Petco from 11 AM to 2 PM. He’ll be there, wagging his tail and showing off his amazing personality. Here is a little information about MooShoo ~ 🐾 Training Pro: MooShoo graduated from board-and-train, is muzzle and e-collar conditioned, and knows commands like “sit,” “down,” “wait,” and more. 🐾 Human-Loving Sweetheart: He adores people - including kids! 🐾 Low-Maintenance Champ: Non-destructive in the house and totally cool with baths, nail trims, and even the hairdryer. 🐾 Playful & Fun: Fetch, tug, flirt pole – you name it, MooShoo’s game for it! 🐾 Healthy & Ready: Neutered, fully vaccinated, and in great shape. MooShoo’s Preferences: 🐾 No Cats: He’s got a strong chase instinct, so feline friends aren’t in the cards. 🐾 Dog Selective: While he’s done well with neutral smaller dogs and puppies, MooShoo might thrive as the solo star of the household. MooShoo’s personality is the perfect balance – cuddly when you want snuggles, independent when you need space, and always loyal. He’s ready for a home where he can relax, play, and just be himself. If you think MooShoo could be your perfect match, don’t wait! 🐾💙

Our Story

We are THE Pit Bull and Bully breed rescue serving the pacific northwest and surrounding areas. Our goal is to make every pit bull a family pet who is loved, treated as a family member and valued as such.

The pit bull breed has long been seen as controversial and dangerous because some have been used for illegal purposes by people with less than legal motives and the media has sensationalized what those activities have created, dangerous dogs. Breed has little to do with the ability of any dog to behave negatively. Chihuahuas bite more than any other breed and Rottweilers have more jaw strength than a pit bull type dog. So why are pit bulls targeted by the media and people not wanting them as a valued family member? Perhaps it is their undying dedication, or their muscular build, dense body type that gives them more weight in a smaller package, or the dramatizations the media portray.

Pit bulls as a whole love their people and will lay down their lives for them. Pit bulls are dedicated to their people. They will fiercely guard their homes and people. They will put their physical pain aside in order to do so. They are smart. Easy to train. Quick to figure out their place in the world. Happy to please their people.

We are a 501c3 non-profit rescue organization that is 100% volunteer.
