Britches is starting his live in his new forever home.

We packed up and left the house around 4pm and got there around 6pm. Traffic wasn't to too bad and Britches slept most of the way once he figured out this wasn't adoption day. When we finally got there and went inside he did a lot of sniffing around and then..he spotted Sarge. The look on his face looked like he may have crapped himself. He was looking up through the window at jowls. That's when the roo rooing started..It must be time to meet. Leashed (just to make sure at first all was well) they met and Britches did a lot of jumping on him. He's gotten used to playing with Buster that way, but Buster is much smaller. lol Within 10 minutes Britch was drool covered and looked like he'd been in swimming. He didn't seem to mind though and returned to playing. After they were getting along fine we let them off and the real fun started. Jumping, bounding through the grass, leaping through the air, licks, kicks, head swotts, grunts, and drool flying.. they both had so much fun.

Sarge is a 16 month old Great dane who weighs in at (I think) 140lbs compared to Britches at 8 months old and 40+lbs. But man does Britches give Sarge a run for his money! It was none stop running and playing until Britches finally went inside so we could finishe the paper work to final the adoption. I'm glad we waited until now to find the right home because this one couldn't be better; add a pool and it would come to a perfect T. lol But the hose in the backyard is just fine and made him feel right at home.

I don't have one single worry about this home. They are easy going, but know how to handle the dogs. The energy isn't a problem and Sarge was very happy with Britch there.

Britches went with his blankie, a bone, and food to last him for dinner and breakfast. He's set and seems to already be settling in. I'm glad I could have you all here to wittness his journey to his new home. It's one of the best feels I've ever had and the joy in both his new owners and big brother, his facial expression when it was time to go was so calming and almost like he knew it was time for him to start over in a forever home.

This is from before we went. It was getting cloudy out and I wanted those last few shots of him before he got in the car.

Sarge may be big, but he's just a baby. Such a goof ball and all over the place; seems like a great character.



He makes Britches look like a Pitbull Corgi mix though. lol

Once inside he made himself right at home with a new stuffy


And not only does he have a new big brother..XL big brother he has a new sister too. Ms. Kitty. She's a rescue cat. She wasn't to sure about Britches and made sure to keep a VERY close eye on him when he first came in the hosue, but relaxed after just a short time.


Have a great weekend!

Congrats to Britches, and to you too! You've done such a great job with him...I'm gonna miss that guy. Looks like he's getting a fantastic home though way to stick to your guns and look out for your boy~

[zimandtakandgrrandmimi]

one less pit bull dying in a fighting pit. I'm crying. I have been watching this boy. I never said anything because sometimes I can't trust the force of my words. You don't begin to know how much this means to me, this one little thing. To see such a happy face, spared the horrid slaughter and lonely cold nights.

Bolo and Vi say "thank you for saving our brother."

[Mr Pooch]

Thats a happy and sad story at the same time Ted,i know how much you loved that dude.
You gave him the best start in life and that all special 2nd chance that many Pits dont get,i hope he does well in his new life.

[jcd]

well congrats to you for a job well done. i am not sure i could be a foster parent especially in a case like this! britches is so cute and he looks very satisfied with his new family!! i hope the new family will consider joining df

[cvcraven]

Bye Bye Britches..... I'm so happy for you!

[alphadoginthehouse]

Teddi, job well done. Britches looks like he is very happy with his REALLY big brother. Hopefully, his new family will send you pictures so you can keep us updated on how he grows into his adult life.

It's a (sad) happy ending for Britches.

[FriendsOfZoe]

I am certainly sad to see him go and stop getting pictures of him...but I can tell from those pictures that he has found the perfect place for his forever home. Thanks for doing such a great job fostering him and finding him a wonderful home. He'll have a long and happy life, I'm sure!

[Mac'N'Roe]

Great job Teddie. You've made that puppy a happy dog and have given him the best start in life. I'm happy and sad at the same time. Good luck Britches!!! I hope to see some updates!!!

[Inga]

Teddie I am so happy for you and for Britches. I know how hard rescue can be and saying Good Bye to a dog you have put so much time into is very difficult. I also know the relief when you see the happiness the dog is feeling in that "right" home. You should be very proud of yourself, you did such a good thing for this sweet little boy. I hope these people will keep you posted on his progress. I am so glad you waited for THIS home to show up for him. You will be able to rest easy knowing it is the right one.

[MegaMuttMom]

Thank you Teddie for these wonderful pictures. Sarge has a magnificent tongue! What a great bittersweet ending to your time with Britches. He is such a happy boy and it is so great that you were able to care for him until his forever home was found. I hope they send you pictures so we can see updates on our good friend britches.

[TeddieXRuxpin]

Ahh NOW! I was doing all good and haven't shead a (happy) tear since leaving yesterday and you guys are making me all weapy. STOPIT!

After we stood outside and watched the dogs play for a good 2 hours it was kind of easy to let him go. As hard as it seems and sounds it was THAT good of a home. He walked right up to the front door and pawed at it almost like "I'm here let me in mom!" I stood there like hey. lol Once inside there was no going back. Another Saturday though and another Adoption. No Britches to pack up though and Teddie is able to be on the floor whenever he wants. But one thing I notice just sitting here; it's WAY to quiet without him here. His favorite thing to do when he was inside was to take the huge Nylabone, running around the house he'd toss his head through the air.

Well I'm off to get to the adoption. Thank you all for taking the time to come look and reply. His doggy parents said that updates aren't a problem. I left my email so he could send pictures; so any updates I get I will OF COURSE share with you all.

[Sonn84]

Aw so glad he found the right home. He looked like he was having a blast with that hose lol.

[Mudra]
