Brooke's Story

Brooke is almost 3 years old now and is still looking for a family of her own. Brooke is such a love. She’s never met a stranger who comes to her foster home. She’s all tail wags and offers to hug to all visitors. <br/><br/><br/><br/>So why has she been in foster for 2 years? It’s because she has a limitation. This limitation is that outside of her comfort zone (which is her foster home and yard), she is fearful. She’s unsure of people and other dogs. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Not to worry, she’s ecstatic about meeting prospective adopters so long as it happens at her foster home. She does live harmoniously with 2 other pitties and a chihuahua, but because she’s scared of the unknown, she would need very slow introductions to new dogs with the support of a trainer. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Her prospective adopters should have a fully fenced in yard with a 5 foot or taller fence as she’s not ready for neighborhood walks at this time. To get to that point, she and her family will need guidance and consistent support from a dog trainer who specializes in working with fear and reactivity behaviors to help promote feelings of safety cooperation on walks. <br/><br/><br/><br/>She will need a family who knows her limitations, has realistic expectations about how she’ll react in outside social situations and is willing to make the necessary accommodations to keep her feeling safe. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Anyone interested in her should also know that she has been nothing but loving with her fosters and their circle of friends and family. She’s never even been mouthy with the children she lives with, even when she came into the rescue as an older puppy. <br/><br/><br/><br/>She’s fully vetted, spayed and under the care of a veterinarian for scaredy cat related medications.

Peace for Pits, Inc's Adoption Policy
ABOUT PEACE 4 PITS RESCUE: Please note that we do not have a facility or shelter where you can view adoptables. We are a foster-based rescue in Chicago-land, which means that each dog is placed with a family in the area. This allows us to better understand each dog's individual personalities. You must complete an application before you can schedule a meet and greet with each animal. The application can be found here: http://peaceforpits.org/adoptionfoster-application/ or if you prefer a Word version, download it here: https://goo.gl/bKo84P and email it to p4papplications@gmail.com. Our adoption fee is typically $300 for an adult dog, and $350 for a dog under one year. It includes all vetting and spay/neuter. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 21 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. Two to four references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date
