AKIRA

Intake Date: 11.9.17

Appx. DOB: 2.6.17

Weight: 54 lbs

 

Akira LOVES soft toys.  They don't even have to squeak!  Loves to play keep away when excited :)  She also enjoys soft treats in small bites - but toys are her main focus.  

 

She has lots and lots of energy and loves to walk - or follow you wherever you go.  She knows 'sit' when bribe/command, lol - but not going to be a good 'stay' girl - you move, she moves (just like that) HAHA

 

Akira is selective with her doggy friends, but we think she'd do best in an anti-other animal home.

 

She has already been spayed; is up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies and bordetella; is micro chipped; heartworm negative (and on monthly preventive); on flea/tick preventive; and comes with a collar and leash!

CHE-LAU

Intake Date: 7.15.19

Appx. DOB: 11.16.18

Weight: 55 lbs

 

From rags to riches this little girl wants it all. She was a skinny little stray with a slight case of demodex when she arrived at SPBR. Now, she’s fat, sassy, and ready for a family of her own. This princess HATES a bath, but would love nothing more in the summer than to chase the water hose, just don’t expect her to jump off in that swimming pool with the kiddos. 

 

Che-Lau is a one toy kind of gal - and has to be in the right mood to play.  She's a little shy, and mostly prefers to sneak up on your for drive-by pettings and/or treats.  Once you earn her trust, she enjoys sitting in your lap (on the ground) for a relaxing tummy rub.

 

She's already been spayed; is up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies and bordetella; is micro chipped; heartworm negative (and on monthly preventive); and comes with her own collar and leash!

CICI

Intake Date: 03.07.13

Appx. DOB: 10.17.12

Weight: 45 lbs

 

I am a black and white “tuxedo” dog with smart white “gloves” and a sloppy pink tongue (for giving lots of kisses). Although I am nine years old and fully grown, I have maintained my girlish figure. This makes me perfect for a small yard or a life inside the home.

 

My desire is to be an only child with adult parents. (Other dogs cramp my style.)

I have a bit of a scar over one eye. Some say it only adds to my sexy, bon vivant, beauty.

 

Being an older gal, I do have some back leg trouble.  The doc says I don't have any cartilage left - but I don't know what that means.  I still love to play - love tennis balls.  Love to play dress up, too!  But I get tired, sometimes.  I love kids - but I don't think I could keep up with the young ones like I used to.

 

My favorite thing to do, tho - is snuggle with my peeps.

 

I am up-to-date on all vaccinations - including bordetella and rabies; have a micro chip; have been spayed; and am heart worm negative!!  If you adopt me, you not only get a new best friend, but you also receive a collar; a leash; and lots of adopter information!

CYRUS

DOB: 10.12.19

Looking for a devoted fan to provide belly rubs and butt scratches after long days pursuing peace and justice. Oh - and cookies - cookie's are super important, too!

 

I'm still a youngster, full of energy and affection, looking for my new forever home (with cookies).

 

I'm up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies; have already been neutered; am on heart worm preventative, and have a microchip. Pretty great ain't it? I'm all ready to come home with you!

 

PS - WYSIWYG...What you see (above) is what you get with Cyrus - lol

GENAE

Intake Date: 1.16.23

Appx. DOB: 2.14.21

Weight: 55 lbs

 

I was saying to myself just this morning, "Genae," I said, "Genae, you know what you need? You need a person all your own."

 

So I sat down to write this post for the nice Shaw PBR people, because apparently that's the kind of thing they do - find nice people for extremely intelligent and lovable doggies who are...I shudder to type this...LAPLESS.

 

That's right: I have no lap to call my own. Could you be persuaded to volunteer yours?

 

I'm not quite ready for adoption, yet; I still need to get checked for heart worms, and get my rabies vaccination.  But you can put in your application for me, today!

KALI

Appx. DOB: 7.18.21

Weight: 52 lbs

 

A big heart and face you’ll love forever; this girls name is Kali. The beautiful little chocolate baby is awaiting her forever home. Kali is the perfect dog for those who like to stay home and cuddle. She’s also great for those who are active. She doesn’t mind just staying in bed all day, yet she also loves to play.

 

Kali is not quite ready for adoption.  She still needs to be checked for heart worms, receive her rabies vaccination, and be spayed.

Single female bouncing back from a past relationship. My name is Lil Too and I'm seeking steady companionship, not just a good time.

A nice relaxing evening at home together would be my perfect date.

 

I have been spayed; am up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies and bordetella; micro chipped; on flea/tick preventive and monthly heart worm preventive; and will come with my own collar and leash!!

Weight: 51 lbs

 

I am Loki! I'm a young guy, formerly down on his luck, currently hanging with Shaw PBR here in Mississippi, waiting for my soul mate to march in that door.

 

You know us pit bulls are super-smart - some say smarter than a 7-year-old human! - and my person will get all the benefit of my brainpower, and more importantly, the super-heart that goes with it!

 

Ready for some high-IQ love? Adopt me, or share my info with your friends! It's the SMART thing to do!

 

I am up-to-date on all vaccinations - including bordetella and rabies; have a micro chip; have been neutered; and am heart worm negative!!  If you adopt me, you not only get a new best friend, but you also receive my collar; a leash; and lots of adopter information!

Weight: 48 lbs

 

I am a well-behaved lady who adores humans of all ages. My coat is a beautiful dark chocolatey black.  I love to chill on the couch, take naps, and just be with my people.

 

I also love adventure, especially riding in the car. Let’s go to the park or the beach! I’ll watch the kids!

 

Got a 9-5 and like to unwind after work? I am a great companion who will enjoy sunsets, fire pits, and wine with you. I love to be around my people and get all the pettings! 

 

I am up-to-date on all vaccinations - including bordetella and rabies; have a micro chip; have been spayed; and am heart worm free!!  If you adopt me, you not only get a new best friend, but you also receive my collar; a leash; and lots of adopter information!

MUGSY

Appx. DOB: 1.7.11

Weight: 70 lbs

 

Mugsy wants everyone to know that he is a lover, not a fighter! He is a gentle soul that enjoys the finer things in life, particularly the edible things! He specifically requested a home where he will be able to participate in any summer BBQ festivities, so we said we’d do our best ;)

NICO

Intake Date: 4.27.16

Appx. DOB: 3.10.16

Weight: 49 lbs

 

Let me guess: You sing in the car. Loudly. Off-key. And did I mention loudly?

Or you snore, or talk in your sleep, or like to practice your bagpipe playing.

 

Well, that might make a lesser dog than I, Nico, have second thoughts about coming to live with you and love you, but not me! That's because my heart is SO ENORMOUS and my potential for devotion is PRACTICALLY BOTTOMLESS. I'll just snooze away happily at night while you snore and mutter. Tell me that's not a relationship made in HEAVEN!

 

Oh - and my favorite toy of all-time is a ball.  I LOVE, love, LOVE, LOOOOVVVVEEE playing with my ball. I could play with my ball all day and all night, so you'd have to take it away from me (egads!) for me to eat, sleep and - well, you know...  

 

Tell me you're not frantically reading these words, thinking, "MY GOD! I must find out how to adopt this dog RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE!"

 

Calm down, off-key-singing person! I have all the information you need to adopt me, or share me with some other bagpipe-playing human who needs me in their life.

OAKLEY

Intake Date: 7.10.2
Appx. DOB: 2.12.21
Weight: 52 lbs

 

Oakley is such a charmer. She knows she's got it and is not afraid to flaunt it. Oakley seeks a new owner who can meet her every need and spoil her beyond her wildest dreams.

 

Oakley is a spunky, hi-energy young girl - and is still all puppy on the inside. On the outside, she can be a big ole goffy, clumbsy mess :)  There is nothing she doesn't love - and the whole world revolves around her.  Oakley is all about Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - no matter whether it is food, toys or your attention.  Just Gimme!

 

She has already been spayed; is up-to-date on all vaccinations, including bordetella and rabies; has been micro-chipped; is on heart worm preventive; and comes with her very own collar and leash.

OTIS - Permanent Resident

Intake Date: 8.21.21

Appx DOB: 1.12.21

Weight: 51 lbs

 

Otis is a GREAT dog - and loves to play with Paco & O'Malley the best; but will play with some of the other Adopt-a-Bulls, as long as they know HE is top dog.

 

Unfortunately, Otis is no longer adoptable. Otis is a bit TOO jealous, and did snap at someone in his previously adopted home.  When he was returned, we decided that we just couldn't put him down.  We also knew that we could not adopt him out again, either.  So, we all decided Otis could just stay at the rescue until God calls him home.

PACO & O'MALLEY

We can't wait to meet you!!

ROOSTER

Intake Date: 11.14.21

Appx. DOB: 4.29.21

Weight: 44 lbs

 

Princes ain't got nothing on me. Let me tell you how beautiful I am. I have eyes that can see straight into your soul and know that you are the one for me. I have legs that are perfectly proportioned for running right along beside you or your children. My head is just the right size for your arms to give me hugs, and my mouth is just right to give you the kisses your deserve. And there is no need to fear I will be teased about my color because I am beautiful. I am just waiting for a loving forever friend. I am a youngster, so I have a lot of time to rule at your side. Could you be my King or Queen???

 

I'm up-to-date on all vaccinations, have been micro chipped; spayed; and am on heart worm preventive.

RUBY JANE

Intake Date: 8.6.17

Appx. DOB: 7.29.14

Weight: 77 lbs

 

Do you like big dogs with wiggly butts? I happen to be just your dog then!

 

My name’s Ruby Jane, and I am the living definition of big wiggle butt. Look it up in the dictionary, you’ll see my face. I’m a brilliant big girl with my whole life ahead of me. I know a few tricks already and would love for you to teach me some more. I’m still waiting on my forever home. Are you going to be it?

 

I am the PERFECT family companion... the only thing I love more than treats and kibble is my family. Now, I still love treats - and balls, and nyla bones.  I get awful proud of them and love to show them to anyone that wants to see them!

 

Oh, btw - a large bed is a requirement for adopting me.  I need room - and not gonna budge, so you'll need to be a bit of a gymnast to sleep with me :)

 

I am up-to-date on all vaccinations - including bordetella and rabies; have a micro chip; have been spayed; and have already been treated for heart worms!!  If you adopt me, you not only get a new best friend, but you also receive my collar; a leash; and lots of adopter information!

 

Come meet me at Shaw PBR in Columbus MS. Just in case you were still unsure, I am totally your new best friend.

SCARLET

Intake Date: 4.27.17

Appx. DOB: 3.10.16

Weight: 56 lbs

 

Scarlet is very food motivated which makes training a fun experience. If you enjoy training, She is a treat to work with because she is very obedient and loves to please her humans. 

 

Scarlet is also a ham who loves entertaining. She will happily chase any toy you throw for her, over and over again - but you'll need to find the magic words for her to 'drop it'.

 
When she slows down, she enjoys a yummy bone - but don't keep too many in stock, lol.  Slowing down for her is pretty rare.

 

Scarlet has already been spayed; is up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies and bordetella; is micro chipped; heartworm negative (and on monthly preventive); and comes with her own collar and leash.

STELLA

Intake Date: 12.6.21

Appx. DOB: 1.21.20

Weight: 53 lbs

 

Meet Stella. 
 
No matter what life throws at her, or how many times she's been kicked down - she trudges on with a smile on her face in true pittie fashion. She's a spitfire full of energy, and grace.
 
If you're looking to add a pup full of life, love, attitude, and sass - look no further than this girl right here.

THADDEUS

Intake Date: 4.2.23

Appx. DOB: 10.7.14

Weight: 76.2 lbs

 

Hi, I'm Thaddeus (Thad) and I promise I'm more fun than winning the lottery, and cuter than six baby pandas! All you have to do is adopt me from Shaw PBR in Mississippi, and it will be like everything you touch turns to gold!

 

I'm not quite ready to be adopted yet.  You see, I still need to finish my heart worm treatment so I'm well enough to receive the rest of my vaccinations and be neutered :-O

THELMA

Intake Date: 9.16.22

Appx. DOB: 10.10.21

Weight: 42 lbs

 

Do you hate your friends, too?


I don't know much, but there's got to be more to life than kennels, barky neighbors, and eating rocks (although dirt is pretty decent).


If you're tired of innocuous dog-park dates and so much sniffing that goes nowhere, then we might be soul mutts.

 

I am a super smart girl - am up-to-date on all vaccinations - including bordetella and rabies; have a micro chip; have been spayed; and am heart worm negative!!  If you adopt me, you not only get a new best friend, but you also receive my collar; a leash; and lots of adopter information! 

 

I am ready to find a new family with whom I will hopefully spend the rest of my doggy life with!!

TRE - Permanent Resident

Intake Date: 11.14.12

Appx DOB: 3.1.10

Weight: 54 lbs

 

Tre is a GREAT DOG.  He's fairly healthy - no major issues that come with old age, other than he's a bit slower now than when he was a pup.  And he's a little picky with treats (cause you know, we hide meds in there)... lol

 

In the TEN YEARS Tre has been with us, only one couple was interested in him.  Unfortunately, that feel through :(

 

Because Tre has been here so long, we just don't think it would be fair to him to 'give him away' - he'd think we abandoned him, too. THIS is his home.  Atleast 

until he is adopted by God.

TYSON

Intake Date: 3.1.14                                                                     Adopted: 7.16.16

Appx. DOB: 9.7.12                                                                    Returned: 8.12.20

Weight: 57 lbs

 

Tyson is an amazing boy.  He gets along with all dogs, but not so much kitty friends. 

 

He is supposed to be cripple - but don't tell him that.  He'll prove you a liar every time.  He runs just as fast as the other dogs! That bend in his leggies does nothing to affect his brain, and he can prove it!  Tyson is smart as a whip - he knows all the human tricks and can probably teach you a few pibble tricks, too.

 

Tyson was returned after being adopted for about four years - and was housebroken at that time, although he may need a little refresher. His favorite toy is one that squeaks - a lot... one squeak is never enough for him.  When he gets tired, he'll take his toy and curl up at your feet (or the sofa) for some down time.

 

Tyson is a super eager boy that loves to learn new ways to please his owners. Don’t let this special guy slip through your fingers.

To learn more about Tyson, or to set up an appointment to meet him - give us a call at 662-386-7429.

EZEKIEL - Permanent Resident

Intake Date: 6.9.22

Appx DOB: 3.15.11

Weight: 62 lbs

 

Zeke is an Elder-Bull.  He has ALL the signs of an aging dog :(  He is also eaten up with cancer.  Treatment isn't a viable option for him - his body couldn't take it.  We are keeping him as comfortable as we can until God calls him home.

 

He's a picky boy - even from one day to the next  - as to what feed he prefers.  He always, however, loves the Milkbone Soft & Chewy treats - as do all of our other Adopt-a-Bulls.
