My first foster was Athena.
Sasha is my current foster pup.
I started fostering with MN Pit Bull because unfortunately I didn't like the organization I was with at the time. A friend of mine knew this and asked what I thought of pit bulls. I told her I thought they were great dogs. She gave me the name and phone number of another friend of hers that is a volunteer with MPBR. I called her up and set up a home visit. The rest is history! I have been with MPBR ever since and love volunteering with them. They are a great organization. Everyone is so helpful and kind.
I have been with the rescue for a year and a half.
I have one dog. Her name is Enapay. She is a boxer/whippet mix.
Runnings, Petsmart and Home Depot.
Reading, hanging out with my nephews, neighbors, and friends, or volunteering within my community.
Do I only have to pick one? The most recent memory - Pria. Her furever family came over to visit her at my house. My sister and I were telling the family that Pria will give hugs if she likes you. By giving hugs, she will crawl into your lap, put both paws on each shoulder and then her head on a shoulder. As this was being explained, Pria did just that to her furever mom. It was a very sweet moment. Needless to say, Pria and her furever family are very happy.
Do you have a special ritual you do with your fosters at all?
I go out and buy them a new bone, toy or item of clothing - one that they can take with them to their furever family. Once the foster pup goes to their furever home, I then take my dog and let her pick out a new toy or bone.

shepherd mix. I am tall and weigh 85 lbs.
I like to be active and play and take walks. But also like my time to be lazy and relaxed.
I am very smart and know sit, down, wait, come, shake, high five and speak. I am learning roll over, wait in my kennel and taking treats very gently.

Things I do in my free time: SNUGGLE! It's my favorite thing in the world! If that's not an option, I like to chew on toys and I just found a ball that makes these funny noises! So weird!
Dogs: Meh, I could take them or leave them. I'd much rather be with people!
Cats: No problem! Size: Small, about 25 lbs.
Car rides: Great! But I may want to sit in someone's lap, even if that's the driver!
Additional Info from foster parent: Angel is true to her name! She is a total shadow and will follow you wherever you go. She has found her favorite spot when I'm working from home is under my desk. She still has some trust issues and it breaks my heart that she flinches sometimes when I reach out to pet her, but we'll get there! I'm learning more about her personality every day!
How did you find out about Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue?
I was specifically looking to adopt a pittie and I found MPBR online. I went to a puppy meet n’ greet at Rock Bottom Brewery downtown.
Why did you decide to start volunteering for MPBR?
Knowing MN Pitbull Rescue was all volunteer based I wanted to volunteer as way to give back to the organization that gave us our first puppy. We are not currently able to foster so volunteering is the next best thing!!
How long have you volunteered for the rescue?
It'll be six years in June.
We got our pupper, Seamus from the rescue and some cats.
Where's your favorite dog friendly place to take your pup?
Love to take Seamus for a walk around Lake Harriet. There’s a secret spot where dogs can go swimming and he LOVES it. Also like walking the trails at Minnehaha Falls. After a nice long walk he likes to rest in the shade of the trees, eat lunch and watch the kids play.
We bought a fixer upper home that we’ve been working on. We love going to sporting events when my teams are in town, theater, and checking out new places to to eat.

Seamus & an overnight guest, take 2!
Mark helps with A LOT of puppy transports!
Do you have a favorite memory that happened while you were volunteering?
My favorite memories are when we break out the puppy kissing booth. It’s great to see people so happy meeting the little ones. Especially the kids. I also, love to bring pups to the house for overnight stays and they can run around the yard playing with Seamus. He loves having someone to play with!!!
Do you have any advice for current or future volunteers?
Every little bit helps!!! Something as simple as picking up clothes or medicine for the dogs may not be the most fun, but it really means a lot to the fosters. Plus, not being from here, I get to learn where places are like Crystal, Fridley, Woodbury and Inver Grove Heights!!!
Each month one of our foster pawrents receives a gift card as a thank you.This is our small way of showing appreciation for the dedication our volunteers have to this rescue. Minnesota Pit Bull Rescue is 100% volunteer based- no shelters here! Each dog we are able to save is because a foster is willing to open their home for us Interested in volunteering?
