(November 13, 2026) — Ella and Rocco are a bonded pair who have been returned to Brass City Alliance Rescue after eight years!!! Both came from Odessa, Texas originally. Their Mom is having major medical issues and cannot continue to care for them, so they are looking for a new home to call their own together.
The poor things are extremely sad and devastated that after all this time, they are back in a shelter. This is so heartbreaking to me that it makes me cry!
Ella is an American Pitbull/Beagle mix, nine years and eight months old, has been spayed, and is up-to-date with all her shots. She is great with kids and little dogs, but no kitties. Ella is house-trained, very affectionate, food-motivated, playful and, of course, snuggly.
Rocco is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, nine years and eleven months old and he is great with kids, little dogs, and is house-trained, but, once again, no kitties. He is up-to-date with shots and is neutered. He’s a mirror image of Ella, with all the same attributes.
Both dogs would do best with a fenced-in yard, where they can run and chase each other all day. They both love to go walking and hiking, car rides are a must, and they are total toy killers. Purchase some stock in Chewy because you will be replacing toys all the time. They both have anxiety, but cope well by leaning on each other. They love chew bones together and hardly fight like some of us with our family members.
I know they are an older pair of dogs, but they have so much love to give and will make the best pets ever. Please don’t overlook them because of their age. Animals are utterly amazing with the love they give to us and want nothing in return apart from being loved and in a good home. You will never regret taking both together.
The adoption fee is $600 for the pair. To adopt, please apply at www.brasscityrescue.org by copying and pasting this link into your browser. Can someone open their heart and home and be their new family?
