Before applying for a dog, please take a moment to review our Adoption Information & Procedures
Some of the dogs in our program are adopted before we get to know them. Some stay longer but require several weeks to show their character. Some dogs receive additional evaluations and training by professionals if needed.
We work hard to provide as much information as possible, but the process is not perfect. Our goal is to give the dogs the best chance to stay in their home for the rest of their lives so we are genuine regarding what we know about them. For MPR, quality of our placements takes precedence over a quick turnaround.
We do our very best to update the dogs' bios as quickly as we can. In some cases, dogs are adopted before we are able to revise their listing.
Please do not contact MPR via email or messenger to inquire about a dog’s personality and/or temperament, compatibility with other pets, etc. The volunteers in charge of replying to general requests are not the same as those handling and evaluating the dogs. They will not be able to answer your questions.
Missouri Pit Bull Rescue makes no express or implied warranty, representation or promise to the age, health, breed, habits, disposition, behaviors, obedience, or safety of the dogs in our program. Our assessments are subjective and based on information we receive when selecting the dogs for our program, as well as observations and reports from our volunteers and caretakers. Adopters understand that no one can predict how a dog will act or react under all circumstances and situations.

Current Living Situation:
Applesauce is currently residing at our shelter where she uses her doggie door to take care of her business. While she keeps a clean kennel she has been known to take a blanket or two out her doggie door to her outside kennel, she is still a puppy after all!
Personality:
Saucy, as she has been nicknamed, has quite the strong personality that will require a home that has very strong breed knowledge and great leadership. She seems to show that if she doesn't have her brain exhausted as well as her energy her inner puppy antics come out lol! Don't get us wrong though, she is wicked smart! She just wants a life where that intelligence is met with mental exercise every day!
Behavior with people:
Applesauce wants her people to work her with interactive learning games then snuggle down once her energy is exhausted. Walks? YES! Puzzles? Oh Yeah! Obedience classes, you say? Now we are talkin!! She loves to run to the door and sit before you open it. Saucy has shown pretty great greetings to her humans by sitting in front of you when called so she can "earn" her treat!
Behavior with children:
Applesauce would do best in a home with older teenagers or no kids. She's a spunky baby who deserves mature leadership!
Behavior with other dogs:
Applesauce is working on her appropriate playstyle in playgroups. We will add more information as we learn more.
Behavior with other animals:
Applesauce has shown some prey drive so we think would do best in a home with no cats.

YES!!!! Training is what this girl craves! Saucy has a lot of personality but when captured with proper training she thrives!! Applesauce would do best in a home that wants to continue obedience training so she can show you how smart she is! She loves to make her human happy by learning new tricks! Saucy sits immediately when she comes to you!
Best Attribute:
Her brilliance and will to please her human! Keep her learning and you will have a wonderful bond!
