Cherry Blossom
In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms symbolize the coming of Spring, promising new life. The blooming of cherry blossoms brings a sense of vitality and vibrancy.
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:
Cherry Blossom was hit by a car who thankfully stopped and took her to the house they thought she came from. Unfortunately it was not her home, but the kind person took her in for the night and even bandaged her up till they could take her to the city shelter in the morning. That's one lucky girl!

Personality:
What a ball of optimism and pure joy! Cherry Blossom is just so happy and Loves to see the volunteers, especially when it's her turn out in the playroom with them. While this little gymnast does love to get her exercise in she also is quite the snuggler... well, wiggly snuggler!

She seems to never know a stranger, which is apparent by the way she was found! Cherry is quite intuitive as she also knows just when a volunteer is late for her rotation out so she kindly reminds them with the Cutest little whimpers!

We have no information on how Cherry Blossom is around children but would suggest older kids as she is just a young one herself.

We believe Cherry could live with a compatible male with proper sloooow introductions and good breed management.

We have no history or current knowledge of her with other animals.
