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.
Background Info:
Poor Minnie is the perfect example of a dog who landed in the wrong hands and was set up to fail. She got herself in trouble due to irresponsible ownership and ended up being confiscated by animal control. She had been allowed to run unsupervised in the neighborhood, engaging in conflicts with other dogs. Minnie was scheduled to be euthanized and her days were numbered when a plea to save her life came to us. MPR understands that Pit Bull dogs require structure and leadership, and not all of them want to be best friends with other dogs. All Minnie needs is a responsible owner, a structured environment, and a home where she can be the center of attention.

Physical Description:
Medium-sized build with an adorable white face that stands out from her mostly black coat. Minnie has a gorgeous head structure, and her body is perfectly proportioned. She looks like a show dog. When she's happy, she has the SWEETEST pittie smile! What stands out the most about Minnie's appearance though, are her adorable ears that are all black while her face is white. She looks like Minnie Mouse, but she's no little mouse, hence her name 🐭😁
Current Living Situation:
Minnie was such a good girl at MPR shelter that she was the one a when he decided to become awhen he decided to become a foster dad!
This sweetheart is absolutely thriving in foster care. She lives in a house with a fenced in yard and shares her home with her foster dad and a 7-year-old human sister. They are two peas in a pod and sleep together at night. Awww! Speaking of sleeping, Minnie LOVES her dog bed and is content to sleep in it most of the day. Though, she will make herself at home on her humans’ beds too when nobody is looking. 😉
Personality:
Minnie is probably one of the most easy-going dogs we’ve seen, which is proof that the right environment does wonders for a dog. We can’t believe that she was going to be euthanized! Minnie is outgoing, well-behaved, and eager to please. She also has the perfect amount of energy and composure.
One thing about Minnie is that she loves a good nap! When she’s not napping, she can be found with a toy in her mouth. (Nylabones are her fave!) Her foster dad says she’s so easy to keep loose in the house. She mostly just stays in her dog bed unless she’s called for. She’s not bothered by storms or other stimuli that other dogs may find stressful. Simply put, this girl is super chill 😎
Behavior with people:
To nobody’s surprise, Minnie is wonderful around people. She does great at home with people coming and going and really seems to love everyone she meets. She’s friendly and outgoing when she’s out and about too. Big Min loves trips to the hardware store and is always well behaved when meeting new people. Minnie’s great disposition with people could win anyone over!
In fact, her tail begins to wag just at the sight of people before they even get close. She’s often disappointed that every human she passes on a walk doesn’t stop to pet her or acknowledge her happy butt wagging. Lol!
Behavior with children:
Minnie displays the same behavior with kiddos. She may actually get even more excited to see them! She’s always gentle when taking treats from her foster sister and doesn't mind sharing her toys. Minnie gets an A+ when it comes to greetings. She doesn’t jump up, although you should be mindful of her happy tail!
Behavior with other dogs:
Understandably, Big Minnie is highly reactive to other dogs, especially since in her past she was put in a position to defend herself in the streets. She must be an only pet and her future home should not share a fence with any other dogs.
Minnie’s foster dad takes her on daily walks and reports that she has great leash manners when there aren’t any other dogs around. Her owner must be vigilant in awareness of their surroundings and be willing to cross the street to avoid other dogs. Minnie can pass other dogs at a distance, but the leash handler must maintain strong control. The big gal must only be handled by breed savvy adults when she’s not secured inside.
Behavior with other animals:
Minnie’s not a fan of other animals either. She has a very high prey drive and thinks small animals are snacks! We can’t stress enough that Minnie must be the only pet in her furever home. Afterall, such a great girl who is so loving and devoted to her people deserves to be the center of attention.
Training:
Minnie is very smart and eager to please. She’s naturally well-behaved and has great house manners. No crates for this gal! They are not a safe space for her and cause unnecessary stress. Since she’s housebroken and non-destructive, leaving her free to roam the house works just fine (if she ever gets out of her dog bed!) 😂
Minnie is food-motivated and responsive to commands. She has mastered "sit" and "shake" with both paws 🙌
Best Attribute:
Big Minnie has the sweetest pittie smile and the cutest little black ears, but the best thing about her is her love of people and how easy going she is. Outside of her dislike for other dogs, she’s seriously easy breezy! All this girl needs is a chance with someone who will not set her up to fail again. Her foster dad says that you can see in Minnie’s eyes that she wants nothing more than to cuddle up next to her person and get loved on.
Even if you can’t adopt this sweetheart, you can still help by donating for their care.
Can't adopt but want to help? Every dollar makes a difference!
