BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

🆘 Fluffy 3 year-old boy Tank is on the euthanasia list Saturday, 10/24. There will be no extensions per BARC 🆘

⏰ Tank must have a RESCUE HOLD no later than 1PM or he will lose his life. 🥺We need pledges and a local foster or adopter for a rescue to help. 💰🏡

10/14/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Approaching kennel, Tank came up slowly with low hanging tail and followed me out taking slowly steps to the outside runs.

10/13/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Tank was a Move Adopt this morning and was partially walked by another ACT until he refused to walk anymore with them. I

walked Tank back to his new kennel in South C on a semi-loose leash due to him walking slow and heistate about his

surroundings. Once in his kennel, Tank was pacing around in front of the kennel for a short time before laying down on their

cot and sleeping for most of the morning and afternoon.

10/11/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Dog was laying at the back of the kennel with a currled relaxed body. Easily leashed and walked with a loose leash to the

runs. Easily leashed and returned to kennel.

10/22/2026 BEHAVIOR

NOTE

Tank is very quiet and relaxed in kennel. Walks on a loose leash and is very treat motivated.

Not sure if this is allowed - but this fluffy gentleman
pit has been at the shelter for almost 2 months and has a euthanasia date coming up. I just moved to the area and keep seeing his sweet face pop up on my socials. I know it’s a long shot but if anyone can help this boy break free…. Look at that goofy face! By all accounts he is friendly and well behaved. He is Vinnie (A574157) at Prince Georges County Animal Services.

Hello! Someone suggested this page after I posted our dna results. Here’s our silly girl, Harper! She’s 4.5 months old, wicked smart and the most playful pup I’ve ever had. She has the best ears and muttonchops and her legs just keep growing!

This is Scottie aka Bean/ie, my 8 year old Am Staff Terrier mix. He also has chow and American bulldog in him according to his test results. We found him roaming the parking lot of my college apt when he was 6 months old. Been my shadow and best friend ever since ❤️

Hey! Been on a DNA journey with my boy Blue. We adopted him off a shelter in north California, he was labeled as a lab Husky mix. Fast forward 5 years later I got him DNA tested and boom! Fluffy pit malinois! I can’t stop laughing, an impostor! No husky at all. On my original pot at IDmydog lotsss of people guessed fluffy pit!

I received my embark results (last picture)! Sora has APBT as his strongest. His fur is super soft, very fluffy, and he has the spicy attitude to go along with all that fluff.

Got this little guy off a local rehoming site.. Was told he was an Australian Shepherd x Golden Retriever mix. He's the sweetest little boy! (DNA results on the last slide)

Was definitely a surprise!

My baby boy Rolo!

Got him about 5 months ago and I had thoughts of maybe having some pittie, but then I thought, nah ... But I was right! He's the best boy!

Our best guy passed unexpectedly this summer from a hemangiosarcoma. I always described him as a fluffy pit. I’m so glad to see others have fluffy pits too! Missing him so much; he was one of a kind.

Caber takes offense to early morning meetings that disturb his beauty sleep. He just turned 3 years old and is an aussie, pittie, poodle, and lab mix.

Obviously the lab is strong here but the pit comes in second and there’s no poodle or other scruffy breeds involved, so I guess he’s fluffy pit!

She is 10 months and we love her so much!

What are we calling these guys? His Embark came back as pitbull terrier and standard poodle! Never would have guessed! He is wild and so so sweet 🦴 His name is Bobby.

Okay guys what do we think?? I asked the terrier group and they directed me here… is she just a pitty in terrier clothes??

"Get up and feed me now!"

Bijou really does not realize how big she is! She's clumsy and generally unaware of her body at all times and still perfect as ever-

He is two years old. Energetic as fuck. Very expressive and very talkative, and veeeeery stubborn. Loves everyone and has truly never met a stranger.

Obligatory binx post to help push us into the weekend 💃

Let me start with I didn’t know anything about dogs until these results, I’m a cat person, but fell in love with this girl.

Now that i’ve read through this sub, I can fully see it, especially in her personality. It’s so crazy!

I bought her on Craigslist almost 8 years ago for $50, I was young and sad and saw this baby and picked her up on Christmas eve as a gift to myself. She was sickly and covered in ticks and fleas, it was nasty. But she became my soulmate.

She’s silly, scared of her own shadow, a cuddle bug, she can’t jump above her head, she gets scared. She loves everyone under her own terms, although she’s not a fan of kids. She’s a ball of anxiety, but a trooper. She LOVES cats, every single kitten litter i fostered with her went back to the shelter being dog friendly, and of course we had a foster fail along the way.

Yes, i dyed her tail blue once (pet safe dye) because I have blue her and she’s my twin, lol.

She’s the best pupper ever.

Was told this belongs here…
