Before he became famous: Spirit had been adopted once before but was returned the next day—he was found at Blackdog Rescue, an all breed rescue organization.
Talent show: He’s a mighty high jumper and catches Frisbees up to 6’ in the air!
Favorite snack: Elk and deer antlers and Fruitables organic dog snacks
Nickname: Spirit Man
Cat and dog adoption fast facts:
…approximately 4 million pet dogs and cats are euthanized each year due to overpopulation.
…25% of pet dogs euthanized in animal shelters are purebred.
…adopting a dog or cat from the Humane Society, ASPCA—any rescue group—can save their life.
…and, being a pet owner can add years to your life too.

Sprit is a great ambassador for a breed that is often passed over for adoption or euthanized in shelters each day!
What a beautiful dog. Thank you for including him in your catalog!
Thank you for featuring a pit bull type dog like Spirit in your catalog and for giving some positive press to all rescue dogs in general! It's wonderful to see those you include in your catalog shoots and to learn a little bit about them. Any effort to raise awareness to the animal rescue community, in general, is fantastic! They need all the help they can get!
Wow! I cannot believe how much spirit looks like my dog, Gemma, also a rescue. It's amazing--same body and same coloring. Gemmie was used as a breeder dog and then, we believe, just tossed out. She was picked up as a stray by a local shelter on Long Island, NY, and then found her forever home with me. Best of luck to the family who adopted Spirit and good for you for taking a chance on a rescue dog.
Thank you for sharing the Spirit's story with us! The more awareness we bring to the overpopulation of shelters and encourage adoption, the more light we bring to end homeless animals. Way to go CB2!
I really appreciate that you used Spirit in the catalog. I hope the next one I flip through has more lovable and adoptable canines! Great way to bring a good cause to CB2.
Thank you CB2 for featuring rescue dogs (especially bully breeds)! It's a good fit: CB2 and Animal Rescue - responsible products and responsible customers!!
Thanks for including a pibble in the catalog!
we very recently adopted a red nose pitbull who was literally on death's row at the ASPCA. our dog has changed our lives. no regrets -- just lots of love!
Thank you so much for using a pit bull in a positive light in your Fall 2 2012 catalogue! These dogs are so wrongly maligned they need all the help they can get!!
Now I REALLY love CB2. Thank you for sharing Spirit's story!!
Spirit is soooooo good looking!!!! Thank you for featuring a shelter dog and promoting adoption!!! Even bigger thank you for featuring a pitbull shelter dog!!! The more consumers see these types of dogs as "regular ol' family dogs" the brighter their future. Thanks again!
As if I didn't already love CB2 enough! THANK YOU for helping create some positive pitbull press.
Love,
Erin and 'Hop-Along Sheila', the newly repaired and rescued pitbull.
You guys rock for featuring a rescue pittie.
Thank you so much for the lovely rescued pittie in your photo! I showed my two adopted pit mixes and they wholeheartedly approve. If they had thumbs, they'd be up!
Way to go cb2!! Including a pitbull (a rescue pitbull, no less!!) in your catalog helps to bring awareness to this wonderful breed, and the need for more pet adoptions! What a great company!!
I loved you guys before but now I love you more. Thank you for spotlighting the plight of rescue/shelter dogs. As a pibble lover/parent/rescuer I am over-joyed that you included a pibble.
As part of a pit bull family, I appreciate you showcasing the pit bull "type" breed for what they are. Loving and gentle family dogs.
Thank you for featuring a rescue pup in your catalog! I've seen your business advertised on quite a few blogs, including Young House Love, and have been meaning to check out your housewares. Now I have even more of a reason to do so! I love supporting organizations who support local shelters and rescues. Thank you again!
What a cute dog!! Thanks for bringing attention to rescue dogs, there are so many good ones that need homes. Off to check out your rugs, I need a new one!
Spirit is a beautiful dog! Thank you for featuring adoption info and a "pit bull" dog in your catalog and website!
My rescue pit bull loves snoozing and snuggling on our CB2 sofa! Thanks so much for featuring these wonderful dogs. I am proud to be a frequent customer.
Hats off to CB2 for featuring pit bulls and rescue dogs in their catalog.
Great to see a beautiful bully featured in your catalouge! Thank you for not being small minded but seeing the beauty in this gorgeous bull terrier who would make a fab part of any home and family! :-)
Thanks for showcasing a shelter dog! Society needs to understand more about these wonderful animals!
Love to see Pit bulls in a positive light. Thanks for having him in your catalog!
