Pop Pop is officially part of the What A Pittie family! 💚 A huge thank you to the amazing volunteers who treated him like the special soul he is while he waited for his forever. An extra-special shoutout to the incredible couple who drove 14 hours to make sure he got here safely!

This whole experience is such a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. Stay tuned for updates as Pop Pop settles into his foster home (spoiler: it didn’t take long—check out the pictures in the comments 🤣).

Pop Pop is packing his bags (and probably a few snacks) for his big trip to What A Pittie! This sweet senior is breaking out of the shelter — where his time was sadly limited — and heading to a loving foster home where he can enjoy slow walks, cozy naps, and more spoiling than he ever knew existed. 💛

🏆 $100 – Sweet Dreams Sponsor (a plush orthopedic bed)
🥇 $50 – Healthy Paws Sponsor (a vet visit)
🥈 $25 – Full Belly Sponsor (a week of food & treats)
🥉 $10 – Daily Comfort Sponsor (covers his daily meds)

Let’s have his care fully covered before his paws even hit the ground!

☺️🐾 MIRACLE ALERT! 🐾☺️

After waiting, hoping, and almost losing faith… Murphy’s miracle finally happened. 🤍🐾

He was found left for dead, tied to a tree. Sick with parvo and clinging to life, Murphy (now Rocky!) had every reason to give up — but he didn’t. He was resilient and fought. And through it all, he never stopped believing that love was out there waiting for him. 🖤

Our sweet boy — the one who had been overlooked time and time again — has finally found his forever. His people found HIM! And they didn’t just see a dog… they saw Rocky —every sweet-natured, loving, goofy, perfect part of him.

To his new family: thank you for showing up. Thank you for being the answer to so many silent prayers and for giving Rocky the life he always dreamed of but never had. You are everything he’s ever needed. 🐾

To everyone who shared his story, cheered him on, and believed in him when things felt quiet — you were part of his miracle too. 💛

Murphy, you are forever part of the What A Pittie family. Go live the peaceful, love-soaked life you waited so patiently for. We could not be happier for you!

Lenny is one of those dogs we all lost extra sleep over. He was the longest resident in a high-kill animal shelter and eventually decompensated into a dog no one recognized. If it weren’t for a miracle foster (now adopted!) family, Lenny’s fate would have been very different.

We’re sending the biggest thank you to the Persia family for taking a leap of faith and giving Lenny the love he needed to transform into the absolute best version of himself! 🤍🐾

Check out the update we received on his 1-year Gotcha Day:

~Just thought I would share an update on our Lenny, hard to believe it has been a year! He is doing awesome! Our neighbor watches him as needed and he loves her! He is so fun and loves his pittie sister but most of all he loves cuddling with his dad! Thank you for bringing Lenny into our lives and all your help so he can live his best life!~

Happy Gotcha Day, Lenny 🤎

In the dog rescue world, there are no better messages that we receive than this! Check out this sweet update from Axel’s family 👇

~I just wanted to send you this picture of Axel and thank you for blessing me with him. He has settled in so well and all the hard work paid off, he's such a good pup. He’s definitely a lounge dog. Either tongue out or completely upside down 🤣 he's such a joy, and still a great duckling protector! He is pretty darn near perfect. We love him so much so I felt the need to give you an update on how great he is doing. ❤️❤️~

Axel has been in his forever home since February 2024 🤍🐾

Happy 16th Birthday to Our Queen Grammy!

Two years ago, we rescued Bella (more commonly known as Grammy) from a heartbreaking situation — she had been living alone in a house for an entire year after her owner passed away. When she came to us, she was completely shut down, distant, and ready to give up on life.

But oh, how things have changed!

Grammy got her groove back in the biggest way. She may be the oldest in our pack, but she is without question the sassiest, most independent, and absolutely the supervisor of all things in her home. Nothing escapes her — and she’s not afraid to give you the side-eye if things aren’t up to her standards (which is more common than not). 😂

These last two years with her have been an honor of a lifetime. Senior pitties truly are something special — wise, soulful, full of love (and strong opinions), and Grammy is the perfect example of the heart and grace they carry with them.

Here’s to you, Grammy — Happy Sweet 16! We love you beyond words. 💖👑🐾

🎉 Happy 1-Year Anniversary, What A Pittie! 🎉

One year ago, we set out on a mission to change the lives of pitbulls in need, and because of YOU, we’ve done just that! In just 12 months, we’ve watched scared, abandoned pups transform into beloved family members, and it wouldn’t have been possible without this incredible community.

To our amazing fosters—you are the bridge between heartbreak and a happy ending. Your love and dedication have saved so many lives.

To our adopters—thank you for opening your hearts and homes to these deserving dogs. Because of you, they finally have the warm couch & love they’ve always deserved.

To our volunteers—your hard work behind the scenes, from transporting dogs to organizing events, to calling references has made this all possible.

To our supporters—whether you donated, shared a post, attended an event, or cheered us on from afar, your kindness has helped us grow and save so many lives.

To the local businesses that have stepped up in incredible ways—hosting adoption events, fundraising for our rescue, and spreading awareness—your generosity has made this rescue possible. We are beyond grateful for your support!

This little rescue started with a dream, but it’s this community that made it a reality. THANK YOU for believing in our mission and standing up for these amazing dogs. Here’s to another year of saving pitties and changing lives! 💙🐾
