Please help me rehome my sweet boy, Luffy

I am hoping someone out there is looking for a special buddy to have in their lives! Luffy means the world to me and unfortunately I have had to face the reality that it is no longer sustainable for me to care for him alone. Trying to rehome Luffy has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever tried to make and I am just trying to do my best to allow him to live a happy, healthy, and loving life.

I know this post is a lot of information but I just want to be as open and honest about the situation as possible. To anyone who actually takes the time to go through it all, I appreciate it more than words can express, thank you for taking the time.

Is an Embark DNA test safe to do or is a dog's breed put into a public database where landlords could turn my dogs down?

I know this is a stupid question but I thought I would ask for peace of mind. I really want to use an Embark DNA test on my 2 pittie mixes to know what breeds are in them. Their ad..option paperwork and vet paperwork says lab mix currently. I am currently Not looking to rent anywhere with restrictions or use house insurance with restrictions but you never know about future!

If I got them DNA tested is that put into a database where a landlord/insurance company could see under my name and discriminate against breed if they cane back 50% pit? Big guy definitely looks pittie, he is an ESA. My smaller girl looks enough like a pittie but is probably small enough to never raise concerns.

The GLOW up 🐾

First and foremost I wanted to thank everyone for their tips for her skin. It’s still a work in progress and will definitely keep you all posted! I wanted to take a moment to post her THEN and NOW. Not only did she go from 43lbs to 55lbs, her personality is starting to show! Also she used to sleep on a little blanket then slowly made it to our beds. We are now at the point where my bed is basically no longer mine and I love it 😂

Anyone else have a pibble who thinks they are as light as a feather but has a head as heavy as bricks but must use you as a pillow is it that just me 🤔

Side note: We would LOVE to follow you all on IG. Hopefully my post doesn’t get banned lol but drop them below👇🏾

This is my Pitmaraner Nova

This is my Pitbull Weimaraner mix, Nova! We rescued her as a puppy about 10 months ago. She is a year and a half years
old! She is crazy and super fast, but she is the most loving girl. I can’t imagine my life without her now and she gets along well with our 9 year old Chocolate lab Shepherd mix, Hunter!

Kitten play

Don't ever tell me that a pit bull can't play with a kitten.... This may be his first kitten but it won't be his last.... He also gets baby chickens and very soon baby geese

Need Advice about a blue nose Pitt

Hi, I found a Chihuahua mix on Craigslist for free about a year ago. She was only a year and half and she was the only female in the house with 4 male dogs and had been bread 3 times. Shes only 12 lbs. I have 4 kids and she’s extremely good with them all but she’s humped my 7 year old a few times and I got her spayed and she still does it. I am NOT a dog expert nor am I claiming to be but it does gross me out a little when she does that. Anyways, my neighbors have blue nose Pitt bull puppies and asked if we want one and I said yes, however, is that completely stupid of me? We always had Pittbulls when I was a child and they never hurt us and I would love to have a dog to protect me and my kids but I guess my question is, should I not get her? Would she ever hurt my chihuahua or if I do what do I avoid doing so she isn’t aggressive towards my kids?? I’ve watched a lot of judge Judy and seen her saying people are idiots for having pittbulls with kids etc, anyways just looking for some advice because I’ve always wanted a Pitt bull but a puppy so I could train and it could up with my kids. Also, any advice on what to feed? I make my chihuahua ground turkey with rice, sweet potato abs egg. I guess I just don’t want to do this wrong because I’m not an expert like I said.

Pibble with allergies? Please help

We've been to the vet 3 time they gave her a shampoo to take home and antibiotics. They diagnosed her with allergies. Also gave her allergy meds. Nothing is helping. Its getting worse and worse. I feel helpless tbh. Makes me sad seeing her like this shes 9 yrs old and never had a problem with allergies. Does anyone know of something that helped your dog? Maybe its yeast? I inserted pics when she was healthy skin.

Please help us keep/save our sweet boy

I don’t see a rule against this so I’m hoping it’s okay. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you can’t donate, at least SHARE it wherever you can. 🙏🏻

We’ve been through so much and I’ve fought and sacrificed so much to keep us all together. Now that there’s finally a light at the end of the tunnel, the whole tunnel is collapsing and we’re about to be forced to make a choice between a roof over our heads and keeping our sweet boy.

I personally would rather stay in a tent than lose any of these precious babes but it wouldn’t be fair to them, plus I rely on a machine to keep me breathing in my sleep.

More details in the campaign, but willing to share more info as requested.
