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:
MPR does not have much information on Yeti's background prior to joining our program as he was found as a stray.
Adoption Fee: $200
Breed: Pit Bull
Sex: Male
Age: 12+ wks
Weight: Growing
Health Condition:
Yeti is healthy and ready for his forever home!
Physical Description:
Yeti has a beautiful white coat with some tan spots. He has the most adorable forward facing floppy ears. He is still a growing boy!
Current Living Situation:
Yeti is currently fostered in a home with two adults, two teenagers, and two other dogs where the dogs have access to a large fenced in yard. Yeti is kept separate from the other male dog in the home, but has been introduced and gets along with the 1.5 year old female pit mix. He is crate trained and no trouble at all! Yeti stays in his kennel when left home alone and sleeps there overnight as well.
Yeti has been enjoying more walks now that the weather has been warming up! He also loves going on hikes with his humans and furry foster sister.
Personality:
Yeti is a playful goofball! He has medium to high energy, which is typical for a puppy of his age. He loves playing with his furry foster sister! Once he's gotten some energy out, he settles down and enjoys snuggling under a cozy blanket!
He was recently taken to Union Station to walk around, and did amazing! He was excited to meet everyone and gave out lots of kisses! The noises and people did not bother him at all - he may do well as a city dog!
He is very confident and will need leadership from his owner to keep him on track with obedience. He is very responsive and food motivated, making continued training easy and fun!
Behavior with people:
Yeti is outgoing and friendly with everyone he meets!
Behavior with children:
Yeti has been extremely outgoing and friendly with children, but is also a strong and growing boy. He can sometimes get overly excited when meeting new people, so a home with older children is recommended for him.
Behavior with other dogs:
Yeti has been getting along with the female dog in his foster home. He has not been introduced to the male dog. While we can not guarantee his behavior with other dogs, at this time we believe he could live with a compatible female following proper introductions.
Behavior with other animals:
Unknown. Yeti has not had exposure to cats or other smaller animals while being in his foster home.
Training:
Yeti is crate trained and is making great strides on potty training! On occasion, he may have an accident if left in his crate for longer than four hours. This is common among puppies.
He knows how to sit and his foster family is working with him on other commands. He's also great on the leash! Yeti is eager to learn and food motivated. He's a confident dog and will need owners that are consistent and willing to continue with training.
Best Attribute:
Yeti is a happy and confident dog that's never met a stranger! He opened up very quickly in his foster home and starting showing his personality within the first few days! He loves to snuggle and take naps underneath a blanket with his people.
Even if you can’t adopt this sweetheart, you can still help by donating for their care.
