Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Cozy
1.5 years old ~55 lbs

Cozy is exactly what his name promises - soft-hearted, sweet, and impossible not to love. With his adorable blocky head and gentle nature, he's the kind of dog people fall for instantly... and it's no surprise he's quickly become a staff favorite at our facility.

Recently found wandering as a stray for several days, Cozy was rescued by a previous adopter and showed immediate gratitude. From the moment he was safe, he leaned right in - sweet, affectionate, and ready to trust again. He does well with other dogs.

Cozy loves people and has a calm, gentle demeanor that makes him easy to be around. He's still filling out and would benefit from gaining a few healthy pounds, but he's already well on his way with proper care and good meals.

He will be neutered and is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease, which has already been started and will be fully covered by Take Paws Rescue.

Why we love Cozy:
Gentle, loving personality
People-focused and affectionate
Grateful, trusting, and easygoing
Total favorite with staff and volunteers

Cozy is the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people, soak up love, and give it right back. He's ready to leave his days of wandering behind and settle into a home where he'll be safe, cared for, and cherished.

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with the sweetest soul, Cozy is ready to meet you.
