We now have a program where you can make a big difference on a personal level.

While most of our "KissBulls" are here awaiting a home, many are here on a permanent basis. This can be due to severe mental abuse or behavioral problems. In either case, our little four legged buddies need a "Pit Pal".

Pit Pals is our sponsorship program. For a small monthly donation, you will receive a photo, bio on your buddy, and as many visits as you would like to our facility. Your new Pit Pal would love nothing more than to get a bath, manicure and go for a hike in the hills.

Below is a brief description of who is available for this program. Of course this isn't all of them, you can sponsor any of our available dogs for adoption as well

BE SURE TO EMAIL jessica@vrcpitbull.com ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR PAY PAL DONATION TO LET HER KNOW WHICH DOG YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO SPONSOR

 
             
                           
     
RHINO

RHINO Just like his name this enormous, gray beast is just that.  With his dinosaur like appearance, he does turn heads as he thunders by.  Though magnificent in presence he unfortunately is two french fries short of a Happy Meal. Making his debut on our reality series "Pit Bulls & Parolees", he will now  spend his remaining days with us.  Yes we know....he's gorgeous.  But don't all the hot men have issues?

DARLA is well how can I say this nicely???  SHE'S CRAZZZZEEEE!!!!  Darla has been with us since she was a pup and we saw back then that she was two french fries short of a Happy Meal.  She is a one woman wrecking crew so we can't have her around anything of substance or it's in a million pieces.  She can't be left alone in the kennel or she'll start a frenzy unlike any hurricane.  So Darla keeps me a prisoner in my own home but all in all, she's still a doll.  Sybil step aside....here comes Darla.

CALIBOS was relinquished by his owner.  She learned how difficult it can be keeping two dogs when one or more is a Pit Bull.  She explained that Calibos had a "thing" for men.  Well...it turned out to be more than a little thing as he flat out hates them.  Even as little as he is, his gargoyle looking appearance is enough to ward off any evil men.  Actually he even wards off good men. :)  But what he does adore are women and children and loves nothing more than to lay in your lap and have his face massaged. So Mom bring the kids down and have fun with this little demon.  Just make sure you leave Dad at home :)

ARNOLD Named after our governor (well at least the one that used to be big and buff) Arnold is one big ass boy!!  And unfortunately he's got the "tude" to go with the muscles.  So because of this , he cannot be put up for adoption.  But we deal with his sometimes grumpiness and his "Uncle Mike" (one of our regular volunteers) takes him out for long hikes in the hills and of course gives him no problems whatsoever...Why are all the good lookin' ones a*@hol@s??  But they say, ladies love the bad boys.

 
 

TARZAN was confiscated from a dog fighting situation. His poor big head literally looked like hamburger meat. For this reason, he came to us obviously very dog aggressive. He was also very apprehensive with men but adored women. Because of his dog aggression level being so high, we kept him here for all these years. Well now that he's matured, he has learned to accept the fact that the world is filled with other dogs and he's gotten so much better.  But sadly he has now developed medical problems and will have to remain with us.  Because of this condition he can no longer go for walks so we need a "Jane" just to hang out with our Tarzan

  OUTLAW And he earned every bit of his name.  Alluding authorities for almost a year, this hot looking guy hung with a group of homeless people.  But unlike other "homeless" dogs, this one looked like someone spent some money on him and that he came from a caring home.  The first thing animal control noticed is that his ear crop job was done professionally which is costly.  So who was missing this gorgeous dog?  But that question didn't have a chance to get answered, as he began to get himself into "mischief".  And unlike most dogs owned  by homeless people,  this crafty fellow didn't always hang out with his camp or on street corners pandering for money.  He had his own agenda which sometimes landed him in the backyards of unsuspecting home owners, or in their trash cans or sometimes chasing their pets.  So law enforcement began the hunt.  He out ran them, out witted them and even ended up on the roof of a house to evade incarceration. All the while, his big alligator grin stretched from ear to ear.  He was having a blast.  Eventually animal control was able to catch him where he was given to us.  To this day, the Outlaw has proven to be quite the handful but all in the name of fun.

CASSANOVA Okay, we know how hot this guy is. And despite the proud look on his face, Cassanova (formerly Bruce) lived a very hard life prior to coming here. Because of neglect by his former owner, this magnificent animal lost one of his legs.  But obviously this doesn't take away from his great outlook on life and his larger than life spirit.

danger JOHNNY DANGER Johnny came to us via one of the many Los Angeles animal shelters. When we picked him up, it did not go unnoticed that he was covered in battle wounds and scars. Our first thought was that he was used for illegal dog fighting.  But it turned out that he was the victim of a bad adoption. Apparently some wanna be trainer adopted him from the shelter and took him home to his already existing pack of 4 Pit Bulls who instantly attacked Johnny and tore him to pieces.  So Johnny has become very untrusting of people and will remain here with us. He is a brilliant dog and loves to learn.  One man's junk is another man's treasure and we hit the jackpot!

 Visits are by APPOINTMENT ONLY!!
Due to the increasing number of people showing up that have become obsessed fans, stalkers or that think we are a public zoo, we now have to take control of the situation. We are a sanctuary for these animals and the last thing they want or need is someone coming by just to "check them out". We DO NOT give tours or allow the public to walk around like the animal shelter. Visitations are for those adopting, boarding or training only. This is not only for liability reasons, but for the sake of the privacy of these animals that have already had a tough life.
Please respect that.
If you are interested in visiting, you MUST call and make an appointment.
For those of you, who think you're "special" and are planning on just "dropping by", we have a surprise waiting for you at the front gate.....
SURPRISE!
