🌟 SALLY’S MIRACLE: From Heartbreak to Hope – This Precious Angel Needs Her Forever Home! 🌟

Found wandering the streets in utter despair, Sally was a shadow of a dog: matted beyond recognition, teeth rotting and falling out, her mouth a painful, infected mess. It broke our hearts. 😢
But RDO swooped in and placed her with one of our most devoted, longtime fosters, who has showered her with endless TLC. After life-saving grooming, vetting, and a full dental procedure, Sally is blooming with every cuddle, treat, and kind word. 💕

Look at her now – a quiet, gentle princess who’s learning to trust again. Proof that every dog deserves a do-over.

All About Sally:
-Dog Friendly: Yes, but keeps to herself. She tolerates other dogs calmly but doesn’t interact much. Best as an only dog or with a quiet, older, low-energy companion.
-Cat Friendly: Unknown/untested – meet-and-greets required.
-Kid Friendly: Yes! Sally is sweet and gentle (no small kids in foster home, but her demeanor is perfect for calm, respectful older children).
-House Trained: Yes ✅
-Crate Trained: Yes – sleeps peacefully overnight in her cozy “little house” with blanket and water.
-Commands: Responds beautifully to her name and is still learning more.
-Loves: Snuggling, soft attention, being pampered, car rides, and YOU (especially women!).
-Personality: Friendly, reserved, quiet, and a total smuggler. She only barks to come inside or when she wants your love.

Sally’s Ideal Forever Home:
A calm, patient, loving home with someone ready to spoil and cherish this precious girl like the princess she is.

Health Update: Sally’s dental issues are fully resolved – no more pain! She has a great appetite and is thriving on soft or soaked kibble.

Sally is an absolute angel who just wants a quiet lap, a soft blanket, and a heart that understands her past.

Could you be Sally’s happy ending?
This sweet senior girl has suffered enough. Now, she’s ready for peace, love, and pampering – forever.

🐾 Interested in adopting Sally? Please complete an application or to set up a meet-and-greet! Let’s give this angel the calm, loving home she’s been dreaming of. 💖

Adopt Nova: A High-Energy, Playful Pup Ready for Her Forever Home!

Meet Nova, a friendly and outgoing dog who’s bursting with energy and ready to bring joy to her forever family! This playful girl is thriving in her loving foster home and can’t wait to find a home where she can zoom, play, and share her love for toys, food, and fun. Nova’s high spirits and affectionate nature make her a delightful companion for an active household.

All About Nova:

-Dog Friendly: Yes! Nova loves other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine sibling to match her energy.
-Cat Friendly: While we don’t anticipate issues, Nova’s compatibility with cats is unknown/untested, so meet-and-greets are required to ensure a perfect fit.
-House Trained: Yes, Nova’s got this down!
-Crate Trained: Yes
-Sleeping Arrangements: Nova loves snuggling up in her foster sister’s bed at night.
-Commands: Knows “sit,” “down,” and “wait.”
-Loves: Toys, playing, exploring, food, and hanging out with people and other dogs!
-Personality: Friendly, outgoing, playful, high energy, a bit of a barker, and sometimes nervous. Nova’s enthusiasm is infectious!
-Car Rides: Unsure, but she’s open to new adventures with the right encouragement.

Nova’s Story & Personality: Nova is a vibrant, active pup who lives for playtime and exploration. Whether she’s chasing toys, romping with other dogs, or gobbling up treats, her zest for life lights up any room. She’s friendly with everyone she meets, loves being around people, and has a playful spark that keeps things lively. While her high energy and occasional barking mean she’s always ready for action, she’s also learning to channel her excitement. Nova’s a bit nervous in new situations but warms up quickly with love and patience.

Nova’s Ideal Forever Home:

-A home with another high-energy dog to play with would be perfect, as Nova loves a canine buddy to keep up with her.
-An active family who can match her energy with plenty of play, exercise, and mental stimulation.
-A secure yard for zoomies and toy-chasing would be a huge bonus.
-A patient family to help her feel secure as she adjusts to new environments.

Notes: Nova is spayed, UTD on vaccinations, microchipped and has no known health concerns. Her love for food and toys makes training a breeze, and her playful, affectionate nature ensures she’ll be a loyal and fun companion.

Nova is ready to bring her high-energy charm and playful spirit to a forever home that’s full of love, activity, and maybe a furry playmate. Could you be the family to give this lively girl the adventure-filled life she deserves? 🐾

If you’re interested in meeting Nova, please complete our adoption application at roversdoover.com/adopt! Let’s find this spirited pup her perfect forever home.

Pure joy in bubble form! 🫧💙
Meet Atari, our happy-go-lucky boy who reminds us that rescue is all about second chances and simple joys.

He’s loving life in foster care — especially playtime with his foster sister — but what he really wants is a forever home to call his own. 🏡💛

If you’re ready for endless smiles (and bubble chases), Atari is your guy!

Myth Monday!
Myth: Pit bulls can’t live with other dogs.
Truth: Many pit bulls live happily in multi-pet homes! 🐾🐾 Like any breed, successful introductions depend on temperament, training, and slow, positive integration.

Pitties are just like people—each one has their own personality. Some love having a doggy best friend to wrestle and nap with, while others may prefer more one-on-one time with their humans. The key is understanding the dog in front of you, not judging them by their breed. 💙

At Rover’s Do Over, we’ve placed countless pitties into families with other dogs where they’ve thrived—proving again and again that stereotypes simply don’t match reality. That’s why during Pit Bull Appreciation Month, we’re committed to showing the world who these dogs really are: loyal companions, playful friends, and family dogs through and through.

✨ How you can join the mission:
1️⃣ Share this post to help bust the myth.
2️⃣ Foster or adopt—give a pittie the chance to meet their perfect match.
3️⃣ Support Rover’s Do Over through donations to keep saving lives.

👉 Meet our adoptable pitties here: www.roversdoover.com/adopt

👉 Donate to support our mission: www.roversdoover.com/donate

Together, we can build a community where pitties aren’t judged by myths, but celebrated for the amazing dogs they truly are. 🐾

🎮 Adopt Atari: A One-Year-Old Pittie Mix Ready for His Forever Home! 🎮

Meet Atari, the friendly, outgoing pup thriving in his loving foster home! We were glad to welcome this guy into the RDO family after he found himself at the kennel with local animal control. While he adjusted like a champ, kennel life is no place for a dog with so much love to give! Thanks to his amazing foster, Atari has left the kennel behind and is now ready to find a forever family to share his goofy charm and playful spirit. He’s friendly with people and has previously lived happily with both dogs and cats, making him a versatile and lovable companion.

All About Atari:
• Dog Friendly: Yes! Atari loves playing with his foster sister and has lived with dogs before, so he’d thrive in a home with another playful pup.
• Cat Friendly: Yes
• Kid Friendly: Yes
• House Trained: Yes, and he’s learning to use a bell to signal when he needs to go potty—getting super excited when he nails it!
• Crate Trained: Yes, he’s comfortable in his crate for about 10 hours on workdays and sleeps there at night. He also loves napping on the couch during the day.
• Commands: Knows “sit,” “leave it,” “go potty,” and “go to bed” (time to crate up).
• Loves: Playing with other dogs, food (he’s very food-motivated!), car rides, and couch cuddles.
• Personality: Friendly, outgoing, playful, excitable, and average energy. He only barks when someone new arrives at the house or if he hears an unusual noise.
• Not a Fan of: Loud noises

Atari’s Story & Personality: Atari is a goofy, lovable Pittie mix who’s soaking up all the lessons from his foster sister. Whether he’s chasing her in the yard, ringing the potty bell with pride, or snuggling up for a cozy nap, Atari’s enthusiasm for life is contagious. He’s food-motivated, quick to learn, and always ready for playtime or a cuddle. His occasional barks at strangers or noises show he’s alert, but his heart is all about love and fun. Having lived with dogs and cats before, Atari is a social pup who’s friendly with people and ready to adapt to a loving home. Thanks to his foster’s care, he’s left kennel life behind and is flourishing in a home environment.

New Experiences This Week: Atari had a blast visiting a nearby farm, where he got super excited watching cows, sheep, and chickens—a new adventure that lit up his playful spirit!

🏠 Atari’s Ideal Forever Home:
• A home with another playful dog would be ideal, as Atari loves a canine buddy to romp with, and his past experience with dogs makes him a great fit.
• A patient family to continue his bell-training journey and give him plenty of love and attention.
• A secure yard for playtime would be a bonus, though not required.
• A home where loud noises are minimal, as they can make him nervous.

Atari has no known health concerns. His average energy, love for learning, and friendly nature make him a joy to have around, and his cuddly side ensures he’ll be your best friend after a fun day of play.

Could you be the family to give this lovable pup the life he deserves? 🐾

🐾 FOSTER (OR FOREVER HOME) NEEDED for FETCH! 🐾

Meet Fetch, a 10-month-old medium-sized mix who’s had a rough start to life. 💔

Fetch was found as a stray and sadly, no one came looking for him. After several weeks in animal control, we were thrilled to give him a shot at a new beginning through a trial adoption — but unfortunately, it wasn’t the right fit. Now, we’re scrambling to find him a safe place to land.

This sweet boy has had zero stability in his short life, and he deserves someone who will finally show him that he’s not disposable. ❤️

🐶 Great with other dogs
🐱 Learning to coexist with cats
👧 Wonderful with people & kids
💔 Struggles with separation anxiety — would thrive in a home where he’s not left for long periods

Fetch just needs patience, love, and a soft place to land. Whether you can open your home temporarily as a foster or forever as an adopter, please reach out today — we need placement quickly.

Help us show Fetch that his happy ending is still out there. 🏡💛
Please share to help Fetch find his way!

📩 DM us or visit roversdoover.com/foster to get started.

🎁🐾 Thank You, Glad Dogs Nation! 🐾🎁

A huge thank you to for the incredible donation of toys! 💛 Your generosity brings so much joy (and squeaks!) to the pups in our care.

Pictured here: Meatball, one of our recently adopted RDO alumni, couldn’t resist helping us unbox the goodies while he waited for his new family to pick him up — talk about the best kind of send-off! 🥹🧡

Every toy donated means a tail that wags a little harder, a heart that heals a little faster, and a dog that remembers what it feels like to just be a dog again. 🐶✨

From all of us (and every happy pup!) at Rover’s Do Over — thank you for making rescue brighter, one toy at a time. 💕

💙🐾 Success Story Saturday 🐾💙

As we continue celebrating Pit Bull Appreciation Month, we’re reminded of why these amazing dogs deserve all the love, understanding, and second chances in the world.

One of our wonderful adopters, who has opened her heart and home to two pitties from Rover’s Do Over, shared this beautiful sentiment about her beloved pups:

“It’s so hard to say why I love them because I love everything about them. They’re just the sweetest babies and so misunderstood. They’re always so happy near you and they’re so full of love. They’re so goofy and silly even when they don’t mean to be.” 💙

Her words say it all — pitties are loyal, loving, and full of joy. They may have been misunderstood for too long, but those who know them, know the truth: they have hearts as big as their smiles.

We’re so grateful for adopters like her who see these incredible dogs for who they truly are — gentle, goofy, and overflowing with love.

Let’s keep spreading awareness and celebrating all the pitties who make our lives brighter every single day. ✨🐾
