Meet Debo – A Senior Sweetheart Looking for His Forever Home!

Debo is a 12-year-old bundle of love who’s ready to spend his golden years as your loyal companion. This lovable senior is neutered, housebroken, and truly enjoys the simple pleasures in life—a short walk, a cozy spot to nap, and plenty of affection.

While Debo’s arthritis means he can’t manage more than a few stairs, he doesn’t let that slow him down when it comes to sharing love. Unfortunately, Debo was recently attacked by another male dog, so he is now a little unsure of other dogs. A meet & greet would be required for any potential fur siblings!

Aside from his arthritis, Debo has no other known health issues—a testament to his resilience and charm! If you’re looking to open your heart and home to a senior dog who will give you endless love, Debo might just be the perfect fit.

Interested in learning more about Debo? Contact Grey Paws today! They have graciously agreed to provide LIFETIME vet care for this old fella! Let’s find this gentle soul the forever home he deserves.

🎄 Murphy Got His Christmas Miracle 🫶

Murphy came to us as a young pup who barely survived Parvo. Tied to a tree and left for dead, he showed the incredible resilience of this breed and defied the odds. After stabilizing, Murphy moved into an amazing foster home, where he began learning the basics of being a happy, healthy dog. Huge thanks to his foster parents and pitbull sister—you truly saved his life!

Murphy’s forever parents discovered his photos on Facebook, and it was love at first sight. They knew he was meant to be part of their family and couldn’t wait to start his adoption journey. They even asked to adopt him early so they could actively participate in his training and provide the consistency and stability he needed. 🤍🐾

Today, Murphy is living his best life with his new parents and a kitty sibling! Looking at him now, it’s hard to believe his tragic past—but wow, was he worth every step of the journey.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in Murphy’s story. Your love and support made this miracle possible.

Happy forever, Murphy! XO

It’s cold outside, and leaving your dog out in freezing temps isn’t just cruel—it’s ILLEGAL. Protect your pets and follow the dang law: bring them inside. If you see something, say something.

🥶❄️ A reminder from Pittsburgh Animal Care & Control that it is against the law (633.23) to leave a dog, no matter the breed, outside unsupervised longer than 30 minutes when the temperature dips below 32 degrees, including the wind chill factor.

AC&C will respond to calls for dogs left in the cold. For normal business days and hours, call 412-255-2036 between 7:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. Monday - Friday. On holidays and weekends, call 9-1-1 and the call will be routed to an AC&C officer.

Please keep your dogs safe this winter season!

🦃 Thanksgiving Safety Tips for Your Pup 🐾

As you gather to enjoy Thanksgiving, don’t forget to keep your beloved pittie safe and happy during the festivities! Here are some quick DO’s and DON’Ts to protect your pup:

DO:

✅ Provide a quiet space: Big gatherings can be overwhelming. Give your pittie a cozy spot to retreat if they need a break.
✅ Stick to their routine: Keep feeding, walks, and potty breaks consistent to reduce stress.
✅ Offer safe snacks: Plain turkey (no skin, bones, or seasoning), cooked sweet potatoes, or green beans are safe treats in moderation.
✅ Monitor guests: Make sure everyone knows your pittie’s boundaries, especially around kids or if your dog is shy.

DON’T:

🚫 No table scraps: Avoid fatty foods, gravy, stuffing, and anything with onions, garlic, or spices—they’re toxic to dogs.
🚫 No cooked bones: Turkey bones can splinter and cause serious injuries.
🚫 Skip desserts: Chocolate, raisins, and artificial sweeteners (like xylitol) are dangerous for dogs.
🚫 Leave trash accessible: Keep garbage out of reach to avoid accidental ingestion of food wrappers, bones, or harmful scraps.

Let’s make this Thanksgiving safe, stress-free, and full of love for your pittie! ❤️

🌟 Meet Winnie! 🌟

Our sweet Winnie is ready to find her forever family! 🐾

At almost 2 years old, Winnie is a smart and loving pup who knows her basic commands, is fully house-trained, crate-trained and excels at one of the best dog skills—snuggling! 🛋️❤️

Winnie came to us from a dangerous situation, and she’s still learning that the world isn’t as scary as it seemed. With a little patience and a lot of love, she will blossom into the most wonderful companion.

While Winnie currently doesn’t live with other animals, she has in the past. If you have potential fur siblings, a meet-and-greet would be required to ensure everyone gets along.

Help us give Winnie the happy, safe home she deserves! 🏡 Whether you’re ready to adopt or willing to foster, this cutie would love to meet you.

🎉 Let’s celebrate our 2nd place winner in the Cutest Pet Contest – Lucy, the adorable pittie princess! 🏆🐾

At just 4 months old, Lucy was severely neglected and malnourished. She was one lucky girl when her mama found her, nursed her back to health, and gave her a new chance at life. Now, at 3 years old, Lucy is thriving and loving every moment! Who could resist this adorable wiggle butt and that tongue?! 🤣💖

Thank you to everyone who voted and supported our mission to help more pitties like Lucy!

🎉 HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in What A Pittie’s first-ever Cutest Pet Photo Contest! Every dollar raised will go directly toward saving another lovable house hippo 🐾🤍🦮

👏 Let’s give a big round of applause to our 3rd place winner, Clark Ashford!

Here’s what we know about this handsome fella:

“Clark Ashford (3 1/2yrs old) was born in Memphis, Tn, and lived the first few months of his life in a state forest before coming to live with his loving parents in Asheville, NC. Clark's hobbies include chasing balls, having zoomies, painting, and cuddling. His favorite daily activities include walkies followed by dinner followed by postprandial play time followed by his nighttime story. Clark is a big guy, clocking in at 100 lbs. His mother was a German shepherd and his father was a pittie. Together his parents made a beautiful brindle pup with a huge heart who lives life to the fullest and excels in making others very happy. He was originally named after Clark Gable, the actor, because he is so freakin handsome.”
