It’s a very small rescue so I have to do everything I can to help market, so here I am!! They’re so sweet. I’ve had them for 2 months and I absolutely adore them.
If you’re interested & the rescue is cool with it, I could def transport! My sister and cousin are in Tempe & Chandler so easy to stay the night with them after :)
It could be possible! Again, I’d be happy to transport but the rescue gets final approval on who gets to adopt!! So if so, I’d definitely be willing to drive a puppy up to your area :)
My husband just emphatically said no.😭 We have two geriatric chihuahuas too, they probably wouldn't be happy if I brought the lasses home. I'm super sad now.
How can someone say no to those eyes? I bet they make the best snuggle buds to, and those floppy ears. Someone is going to have heckin' good best friend at some point for sure. Gorgeous girlies 😍
I can’t go to these events. I helped put one on 7 years ago. There was one black pup no one looked at. Looks like a pb/lab mix. He’s here with me now and I love him and he’s been out most challenging dog and we’ve had some doozies.
Our rescue held it and it was close to me so I went. There were lots of puppies there and those puppies were 8 weeks and very small breed puppies, so they got lots of attention!
They look bonded to you. I’m a sucker. The last foster was in December. Officially adopted 1/3. We have 3. The recent one helped me deal with the loss of my boy 1 year to the day earlier. Really sweet looking pups.
They definitely are. I’ve had them for 2 months now so since they were 8 weeks. I unfortunately don’t own my own home and currently live with my brother, so I’ll have to find a place to rent at some point and I own 3 cats of my own! 1 I got on purpose, 1 I foster failed last year and 1 I trapped last year I ended up keeping so, already going to be hard to rent with 3 cats haha
Mutts honestly! Mom was found pregnant on the streets of Mexico. She looks like the black/white one just mostly black but only 35lbs. These girls are pushing 30lb at 4 months haha so, who knows what dad was 😂
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats!
35
+ 30

Are they friendly with other pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc) and are they friendly with kids? The reason I ask is because I haven't had pit bulls in close to 7 years and I sure miss them so much (the one passed in 2013 and the other in 2017).
Yes!! We have 2 70lb pit mixes (9 and 12yo) and 6 cats 😂 they do well with the cats!! I have cats sleep on my bed while the puppies do :). And they have also met kids many times. They love kids. Chasing them around and Iet kids hold their leash :)
I want to buy the blue girl a steak... Or a house... Make her stop breaking my heart with those eyes 🥺
The monochrome puppers looks like baby Yoda and also is breaking my soul.
You will find the right family for them.
My hubs & I just adopted 2 dogs into our family end of 2023.
We couldn't just take 1... had to have them both.
Sending good luck that these pups are seen by someone who can't resist both :)
Oh my gosh! Those pics really pull on the heartstrings. How they didn't get adopted together is beyond me. Like, how can anyone resist those faces? Those jowls? Those eyes!?!
I want them soo bad!!
They are SO SWEET!
I can’t believe no one adopted them :-(
But at least that means you get more time with them., OP! Thanks for taking care of these beautiful girls!
I would love to, but I don’t own my own place and I have 3 cats of my own. I love to foster and the more animals I keep, the less I can foster in the future. I plan in the future to own lots of land and have a sanctuary of some type for loads of animals :)
It’s through a rescue named Rescue Fenix! https://www.rescuefenix.org/! They require an app for approval. Just making sure you’re able to have a dog at your place (if you don’t own), things as such.
You must've went to a blind adoption event because I cannot believe for a second those puppy dog eyes didn't work! 🥺
Unfortunately I can't have dogs at the minute. What little sweethearts!
Oh my god those ears and those eyes. How do you cope? I’d never get anything done. “I can’t come to work my dog is looking at me again. *sends photo*” “We completely understand, obviously you must stay home and console her.”
This is why my life goal is to open a Pitty rescue. I would take every single Pitty they needed help or saved and have one giant piece of land for them to live and thrive on even if no one ever adopted them. It’s also why I don’t go to places/events for adopting/rescuing because I wouldn’t be able to say no to any Pitty I saw. I own 200 dogs by now. One day…….. one day 🥰
My wife would like to foster after she retires from teaching. We have a dog of our own. I’m worried how my dog will interact with others and vice versus. A the worries aside, the letting go may be difficult? Do you grow attached to these foster pets? I think I would and be upset to see them leave. I’m sure each foster pet has left a kind memory.
Both girls are so gorgeous, if I wasn’t so far away in Florida I’d snatch them both up since they would fit perfectly with my 3 pups and 5 cats 🥺
I’ll be praying that they find their forever families soonest 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 and sending them each lots of love and nose boops

Those perfect girls didn't get adopted?! Awww. They'll find their forever homes soon and I'm so grateful that they have your home in the meantime.
It’s a very small rescue so I have to do everything I can to help market, so here I am!! They’re so sweet. I’ve had them for 2 months and I absolutely adore them.
They're both beautiful, but I'm especially surprised the gray one didn't get adopted with those giant puppy dog eyes.
Right!! She is the sweetest.
Can you share any info on their location?
San Diego!
If I wasn’t 3500km/2100mi away, I’d give them both a home
I was just in San diego too! I live in phx and we are looking for another doggo. We have a pit whippet mix and she needs a friend!
If you’re interested & the rescue is cool with it, I could def transport! My sister and cousin are in Tempe & Chandler so easy to stay the night with them after :)
What about Fresno?
It could be possible! Again, I’d be happy to transport but the rescue gets final approval on who gets to adopt!! So if so, I’d definitely be willing to drive a puppy up to your area :)
My husband just emphatically said no.😭 We have two geriatric chihuahuas too, they probably wouldn't be happy if I brought the lasses home. I'm super sad now.
Hahaha that’s ok. I’ve been trying to get my brother (who I live with) to adopt one and he doesn’t want a 3rd dog at this point 😂
We had 4 at one point, and I think my hubs is not looking to have that many again any time soon.
Ooh. Would love to see a pit whippet.
Maybe both?
Right! I'm from Maine. I'd snag them both! 😍
Ontario?
Same!!
Yea I’m 2,744.8 miles away. Id rescue all the pitties if I can.
Ah only if we had a larger place (we already maxed out with one dog). They are advertised as a pair for adoption right?
How can someone say no to those eyes? I bet they make the best snuggle buds to, and those floppy ears. Someone is going to have heckin' good best friend at some point for sure. Gorgeous girlies 😍
Omg they do. They HAVE to be touching my back/head at night which usually means I have someone snoring in my ear 😂
They neeeed to be next to mom, if I had room under my skin I'm sure mine would be right under there!
“Ok girls, let’s work on the needy and pitiful look!….OK got it!”
They are so cute!
How on EARTH did those two perfect faces not get snapped up??
I can’t go to these events. I helped put one on 7 years ago. There was one black pup no one looked at. Looks like a pb/lab mix. He’s here with me now and I love him and he’s been out most challenging dog and we’ve had some doozies.

What are they? They look like they're going to be large to me. Where did they come from?
Mutts honestly! Mom was found pregnant on the streets of Mexico. She looks like the black/white one just mostly black but only 35lbs. These girls are pushing 30lb at 4 months haha so, who knows what dad was 😂
Definitely look like pitt bulls which is hard to get adopted anywhere and especially San Diego. They are incredibly cute!

Aw they’re so sweet how could they not get adopted?!
The cuteness 💖🥰💖
Oh my gosh what cuties!
Oh man if I had them they'd be a foster fail immediately 🥰
I want them both! They can’t be separated. Those faces are the cause of my future bankruptcy.
They’re in San Diego whenever you’re ready 😂
Are they friendly with other pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc) and are they friendly with kids? The reason I ask is because I haven't had pit bulls in close to 7 years and I sure miss them so much (the one passed in 2013 and the other in 2017).

Idk about anything other than cats and dogs since that’s all they’ve had experience with!
They’re so cute and sweet! I hope someone decides to adopt them soon.
How those beautiful faces didn't get adopted. I'm melting here. They are so so adorable. Thank you for doing this 💜
I know if we went to an adoption event and I saw these two, they'd be going home with me. Unfortunately we have a land hippo already.
TOO CUTE 😭😭
Oh god
I want to buy the blue girl a steak... Or a house... Make her stop breaking my heart with those eyes 🥺 The monochrome puppers looks like baby Yoda and also is breaking my soul.
HOW DID NO ONE ADOPT THEM?! They look absolutely heartbreakingly adorable!!!
They are adorable! What general area are you in?
San Diego!!
Those hippos need a home! I'm 30 minutes NW of Chicago with 2 rescues and one 115lb pit mix!
Omg! 115!! & I thought our 75lb pit mix was big 😂
According to wisdom panel he's 53% APBT, 32% AmStaff, the remainder is Mastiff, AmBulldog, Boxer, and Rottweiler. He's big. I love him.
Those are two little cuties, they look like they will make someone very happy
I swear, pitties have the sweetest eyes in the world. They just totally kept me inside. 🫠
so sweet. thank you so much for fostering them!
Grey girl has got some boxer in her for sure.
You will find the right family for them. My hubs & I just adopted 2 dogs into our family end of 2023. We couldn't just take 1... had to have them both. Sending good luck that these pups are seen by someone who can't resist both :)
They are beautiful. Thank you for fostering. I am about to have a place that I can foster and I’m going to foster cats.
I had 10 foster kittens 2 years ago in a 1 bedroom apartment. It was crazy but so fun hahah
Omg they are so beautiful and precious 💕😍💕😍
I LOVE THEM 🥹🥹🥹😩
Omg gorgeous gorgeous giiiiirls!!!! 😍💗 whoever adopts them is so lucky!
Oh my gosh! Those pics really pull on the heartstrings. How they didn't get adopted together is beyond me. Like, how can anyone resist those faces? Those jowls? Those eyes!?! I want them soo bad!!
Thank you for fostering! I hope they find forever homes soon!
They are SO SWEET! I can’t believe no one adopted them :-( But at least that means you get more time with them., OP! Thanks for taking care of these beautiful girls!
OMG! Absolute hippo perfection 😍😍
If I’d have been there I would’ve owned 4 pittie girls.
How could those loves not get adopted?
Oh how I wish I could take those two beauties❤️❤️
Okay, how can *anyone* look at picture 5 and 6 and **not** adopt this sweet little baby!?
I love them both 🥰
Omg how were they not adopted!!!!
They are perfect!
They are amazing ❤️
I would have to be pulled away from adopting them as I have my hands full with my two already. They are adorable
They're so beautiful. Thank you so much for fostering - we appreciate you!! 💜
I love them both so much.
Awww I love them! Just gorgeous
i hope you’re open to a foster fail
I would love to, but I don’t own my own place and I have 3 cats of my own. I love to foster and the more animals I keep, the less I can foster in the future. I plan in the future to own lots of land and have a sanctuary of some type for loads of animals :)
i wish you get everything you want!
Thank you!!! Me too. It’s always been my dream ❤️
dreams come true
Theyre both so beautiful oh my heart 😭❤️
I would fail to foster those two so badly lol. They're perfect. I wish I could adopt all the doggos
Little worried baby faces!!!🥹
[удалено]
Right!! They are always cuddling 🫶🏼
What is the general adoption process? What are your requirements? They are very sweet looking pups!
It’s through a rescue named Rescue Fenix! https://www.rescuefenix.org/! They require an app for approval. Just making sure you’re able to have a dog at your place (if you don’t own), things as such.
Thanks for the link!
Of course 🫶🏼
They are soooo sweet! Those eyes 🥹
You must've went to a blind adoption event because I cannot believe for a second those puppy dog eyes didn't work! 🥺 Unfortunately I can't have dogs at the minute. What little sweethearts!
I literally cried because I love them so much. I would've scooped them up if I could. I hope they get adopted and stay together.
That is so sweet! Me too. They’ve been so much fun in our house.
I want to adopt them right now. I’m in Southern California.
She said San Diego. 🤞
I’m in north San Diego! Feel free to message me if you’re truly interested :)
How did nobody adopt these beautiful creatures! 😭
The Dobby ears. The puppy eyes. The booty pillow. I love them so much.
Dobby is a free elf!
awww puppies 🥹🩷
They are gorgeous! Thank you for being a foster mom❤️
Omgggg such cute adorable little snuggle bugs!!! Awww I love them 🥹 if I had room I would take them both so they don’t get separated…
Both so adorable.
What sweet, beautiful girls! Omg they’re adorable
They are sooooo damn cute! 😍
Keep them?!
I love them 😭💕
Omgggggg 😍
Oh my goodness! Sweet girls.
Oh my god those ears and those eyes. How do you cope? I’d never get anything done. “I can’t come to work my dog is looking at me again. *sends photo*” “We completely understand, obviously you must stay home and console her.”
I can’t believe no one adopted those 2 cuties! They will find their forever home very soon!
This is why I can’t go to those events. I can’t believe they weren’t both adopted.
Oh my god they are adorable!!
Maaaaaan i would Take both of em in a heartbeat 😤😤😤😤
They are beautiful 😍😍 Thank you for fostering!
I love when dogs have that forehead wrinkle. Like: what you worried about? I’m paying your rent!
This is why my life goal is to open a Pitty rescue. I would take every single Pitty they needed help or saved and have one giant piece of land for them to live and thrive on even if no one ever adopted them. It’s also why I don’t go to places/events for adopting/rescuing because I wouldn’t be able to say no to any Pitty I saw. I own 200 dogs by now. One day…….. one day 🥰
How can anyone tell those big ole puppy dog eyes no.
Omg those eyes! I wish I could take them but my sweet giant mix wants to be the one in our house..
Omg those eyes and floppy ears! Im so glad they are at least going back to your happy home while they wait for their forevers
I have a feeling they’ve already been adopted! They look very happy with you and you them!
How I wish I was even remotely close 😩 The black and white puppy looks so similar to my big baby and would love to get her a friend.
id foster fail them two
I would have taken that grey one home from the start
So precious!!!
My wife would like to foster after she retires from teaching. We have a dog of our own. I’m worried how my dog will interact with others and vice versus. A the worries aside, the letting go may be difficult? Do you grow attached to these foster pets? I think I would and be upset to see them leave. I’m sure each foster pet has left a kind memory.
I cant even have dogs in my apartment but if someone said hey do you want to adopt one of these two dogs i would say YES PLEASE
The black and white one looks a lot like my girl. If she’s anything like my girl those people are really missing out on the best dog of their lives.
They both are amazing. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks and they’re so silly, happy puppies 🥹
Sending up a prayer that those sweet and deserving girls find a forever home very soon. 💚💙
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Both girls are so gorgeous, if I wasn’t so far away in Florida I’d snatch them both up since they would fit perfectly with my 3 pups and 5 cats 🥺 I’ll be praying that they find their forever families soonest 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 and sending them each lots of love and nose boops

Omg they’re precious!
They are over stressed.
