Get ready to celebrate—National Pit Bull Awareness Day is this Saturday, October 28! For this important day, our good friends at Cracker Jack^® are helping us feature some of our adoptable dogs available in Ohio, North Carolina and New York!

Pit bulls are just as amazing and loving as other dogs, and there’s no better way to show your support this Saturday than by adopting one of your own. Take a minute to scroll through these cuties—one of them might just be your new BFF!

Zesty

This puppy is sure to zest up your life in the perfect way! Zesty loves to play and explore. He is an energetic, young guy who is still growing, and he hopes his adopter can help him with dog training. In foster care, he has already done well with crate training! If you’d like to learn more about Zesty, visit his profile!

George

Gorgeous George can’t wait to meet you! You’ll win him over easily with pets and dog treats. He’s a true social butterfly and loves making friends! His ideal adopter can help him with his leash manners, as he is a strong, excitable pup. If George might be the perfect dog for you, check out his profile!

Serafina

This silly pup wants nothing more than to cuddle with you! Serafina can be shy with new friends, but with the help of yummy treats, she’ll soon show you how playful she really is. Her ideal adopter would also keep her busy with enrichment and exercise. If you’re ready for more fun in your life, check out Serafina’s profile!

Sparky

It’ll only take one look from his big puppy eyes, and you’ll be swooning for Sparky! If you would love to be side-by-side with your doggy bestie on your next adventure, Sparky is the perfect pup. He has been working on his leash manners, and his adopter should be able to continue that training in the home. Apply to adopt Sparky over on his profile!

Jenny

If you love mini pitties, Jenny is the one for you! She’s a wiggly little pup who is looking for a loving home. She picks up new tricks quickly, especially if she’ll earn some tasty treats in the process. Visit Jenny’s profile to apply for adoption!

This North Carolina pup is looking for a home:

Rudi

Rudi is an active boy who would love to be your adventure buddy! He adores playtime, both with his favorite people and other dogs. His new family can help him gain confidence in new places with tasty treats and being near other confident dog friends. Visit Rudi’s profile to learn more about him!

Slinky

Just like his namesake, Slinky is always ready to spring into action! He loves all kinds of exercise, from swimming to playtime. He also happens to be a very social gentleman and is great at making new friends and adoring fans. If you’d like to meet this funny boy, check out Slinky’s profile!

If you don’t live near one of these locations, but you’d still like to show support for National Pit Bull Awareness Day, there are many more pups like these available for adoption at your local shelter or through our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC!

If the time isn’t right for adoption, but you’re able to temporarily open your home to an animal in need, you can still make a big impact by becoming a foster caregiver! You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio, Weaverville, North Carolina, New York City and Los Angeles (cat fosters only).
