Does Your Pit Bull Live With Other Pets?

This month we are celebrating furry friends. So we asked our Facebook fans, ’Does your pit bull live with other pets? What kind?’

Many live with other dogs or cats, but there are those that coexist with bunnies, chickens, chinchillas and horses. All are best friends … cue “The Golden Girls” theme…thank you for being a friend…

I have two pit bulls. They live with a Rottweiler and a Ridgeback and their ferrets, Honey and Alvin.

He lives with another dog and 25 cats.

Yes, he is a pittie mix. His buds are a Chihuahua and a blind Bichon, which is his best friend.

When we got our pit bull we already had a male beagle, so they lived together for quite a few years until our beagle Magic died last January.

My pit/husky mix lives with two other dogs: a boxer mix and a yellow Lab golden retriever mix. They are all buddies!

Oh yeah. My pit bull lives with a mixed breed older shelter dog and five cats! She loves everybody.

My two pit bulls live with two cats and two bunnies in perfect harmony, and nobody is caged or crated.

Yes! Mine lives with a crazy calico cat, Jinx. (They’re spooning partners!)

Nigel, our pit mix, lives with a 7-year-old female GSD mix and two 10-year-old cats. He is very attached to his older sister.

Ruby – our pittie mix lives with three cats and three bunnies. She loves them all, but her best friend is our smallest kitten Chloe.

Mine lives with a cat (who thinks he is a dog). They love to play together and get along very well.

Nope, but she loves having sleepovers with my Mom’s Bichon! They cuddle together!!

I have a pit, a Chihuahua and a miniature pinscher.

We have three pit mixes and they live with three cats. Our girl, Winter, always took the kittens we rescued under her wing.

Our three pits share the house with four cats and surprisingly, it goes pretty smoothly.

Our old girl Mere (RIP) lived with many kitty cousins during her time in our family as well as a few foster furbrothers and fursisters and a few two-leggeds of various sizes – and she was always a great and loving companion and protector to all of them.

One Elderbull and three cats, in a 700-square foot apartment. Every day is an adventure!

Our pit bulls (four of them) share a house with a Lab mix and 10 cats!

My female Elderbull shares her home with a 2-year-old female Shih-Tzu mix.

Our household is comprised of cats as well as two adult humans, one Malamute, one long haired German Shepherd, one Bull Terrier mix and one pit bull and they all get along famously.

Our pitty Uno lives with our blue and gold Macaw, a Siamese cat, and two orange tabby cats, a tea cup Chihuahua and a Jack Russell.

I libs withs 3 moody kittys!! It’s a BLAST!!

She lives with four other dogs. Three she gets along beautifully with. She doesn’t like our senior Yorkie, but then again the Yorkie doesn’t like her. He likes to attack her while she’s sleeping. She gets that pitiful pittie face that says, “Mom! Do something about the big rat!”

My 11-year-old boy lives with his 1-year-old Chihuahua little sister.

I have three female and one male APBTs and they live with a small ground squirrel and five horses. They all sleep in one big pittie pile!!

We have my son’s “pig bull” or pot-bellied pit bull with us while he is in military – she lives happily with two miniature Schnauzers, both of which boss her around!

Our pit bulls live with three other dogs: a Lab, a Lab mix and a bull terrier, as well as two snakes and two cats. We all live in almost perfect harmony!

My pit bull lived with two kittens in his previous home, and since I adopted him has shared our home with 15 foster dogs. He also frequently visits friends in the area including dogs, cats, rats, horses and goats!

Yes my five pit bulls live with other pets – they live with their 12-year-ld mixed breed brother, a cat named Fat Boy and two fish.

Yes, a golden retriever!

Yes, two Chihuahuas and three cats. They all get along.

They eat from the same bowl and adore each other. I have had pit bulls for 35 years so you could consider me experienced.

My pit mix is getting to know our pet rats! Max (the pibble) is just a puppy and we’re slowly introducing them. He got licked by one last night so it’s going well.

My pittie lives with a German shepherd, a ragdoll cat (his best friend), and a bird!

Our household has one pit who lives with two Chihuahuas and a Beagle.

Yep! Ours lives with an English setter, a Beagle, a cat, and a guinea pig.

Yes. Our home includes two pit bulls, one Pug, one Pug-light, one Cocker Spaniel, and one Heinz 57.

Seven horses, a Border collie, a Lab and a red cattle dog of some sort that I found in a remote ditch in Texas when she was a puppy. All of the five pits I’ve rescued over the years, except one who had been fought, were/are excellent with all other dogs and creatures and people.

Yep, my Bella lives with six cats and two Great Pyrenees dogs. Total of nine pets and me!

Lacy has been raised with pet rodents. At first it was only Guinea Pigs, then I got my first rat. Lacy was about 6 months old. Rats like to “defend” their space by climbing the cage and “boxing” or “grabbing” anything within reach. Lacy boinks around the cage with her ears forward in a play bow, like a silly cartoon dog!

Let’s see… Marvin the pit bull lives with two other dogs (his sisters Cricket the bull terrier and Zoe the whippet mix), two cats (Smitty and Fifi), a chinchilla (Bubby), a rabbit (Jasper), six hens and a rooster, a turkey (Bocephus) and two goats (Lenny and Squiggy). We also have two horses on our property that do not belong to us but live there… Marvin loves the country living!

My pit bull Chance (60 lbs.) lives with his smaller but older Papillon sister Bailey (8 lbs). We also have a Sun Conure, Coral, a Guinea Pig, Little Bear and a Bearded Dragon, Max.

My rescue pit lives with my three cats (one which he bathes daily), my other rescue, a German Shepherd mix (his best friend), and a bird. They are all best of friends.

My pitties have each other. The older, at 6 and a half, had been fostered with lots of other pets for five years of her life before we fostered and then adopted her! The second addition, at 11 months, had been fostered since she was 9 weeks with lots of dogs. They both love other animals and we often bring other fosters into the house for a couple of months at a time!

There are 2.5 pit bulls, 1.5 other dogs, four cats, three cockatiels, fish, and two humans living here!

Bruno My Daughter’s Dig Dog [pit mix] lives with my four parrots! I think she is more afraid of them than they are of her!

Yes my male pit lives with a female Presa Canario, a female pit that was a rescue, and a male pit puppy that is a rescue/foster.

My two pit bulls live with a Pekingese and a Brussels Griffon/Cairn Terrier mix. They all get along with my oldest daughter’s Pug and my middle daughter’s three dogs…a Maltese/Shih Tzu, a Bichon/Terrier and an American Eskimo mix. It was lots of fun watching them play when we all gathered for the holidays!

My pits live with an African Grey parrot and are actually scared of him!!

My newly adopted pit bull, Roo, lives with Theo, an American bulldog and three cats; Maya, Max and Tucker…As well as three kids.

Tilly lives with a rat terrier and a little poodle. What an odd trio!

My pittie, Fancy, lives with her brother Brody (a Shih Tzu) and a little kitty, Zeppelin. We are just one happy family.

Sadie the Elderbull and I live with a feisty kitty named King Henry.(photo, right) He is in charge at our house. If we get too crazy and do zoomies inside he smacks our butts to tell us to calm down. Sometimes though, Henry can be nice, too! When I had my knee surgery recently, he sat up with me late at night when I was in pain and he kept me company. I called him my night nurse.

My pitty, Gus, lives with a toy fox, a bull mastiff, Chihuahua, and a Manx cat…..all in perfect harmony!!

My pittie lives with two cats and a chinchilla.

We live in a four pit bull nation. They live with five cats and the only problem is that the one Siamese periodically roughs up the pit bulls just to be a bully. How’s that for flipping the ole stereotype?

I have two pit bulls, a 4-year-old female and a 2-year-old male and they are the best of friends.

‎One dog, five cats, and “works” at an Animal Hospital with Mom!

Two pits, one Lab, one Catahoula, one Maine coon cat, two human children and a husband somewhere in the mix.

Two other dogs (pit mix and Chessie mix) and two rescue cats! She loves and cuddles and grooms those kitties, and is best buds with the dogs.

She lives her brother, Bamse, the cat. They grew up together. I had just adopted the male older kitten when I found and rescued my Stubbydog, Freia. I was coming home from a family wedding when I had to stop for gas … and there she was waiting for me with those big brown eyes. How could I leave without her? She and the cat are my children and the best things that ever happened to me. I love my cat and Elderbull!

My pit bulls have lived with rats and various species of birds.

Kids, cats, rats, and snakes!

My girls used to live with our pet rat, Meow Two, until she passed away. She would sit on our old dogs back. Raven would shake but never hurt her. Rip Raven and Meow two!

Our pit mix Aurora lives with Colby, the Jack Russell, and Lincoln the turtle.

Four-year-old pit mix Satchmo lives with our 50 lb. Kelpie, our 14 lb. Westie mix, four cats and two horses. He loves his furry family.

Echo and Co. (photo above) live with a cat, a horse and 11 free range chickens!

We have two cats, one Rottweiler, two Pit Bulls, a revolving door of two foster pit bulls at a time, and a boarding dog or two at a time.

Kids, cats and eight horses!

We have an am staff, am bull, pit mix, Rottie mix and an Aussie. We also have two cats. We also foster a lot. A normal count for us is our seven perm fuzzy friends and two moms and litters! We’ve been doing this for some time now and everyone that comes to visit eventually joins in the fun pack we have! Its more fun then you could imagine!

Yep, Gypsy lives with her older sister Lani, a 9-year-old pit mix.

Yes! A malamute, two Goldens, a duck and a rabbit.

My pibble Ada lives with a Cavalier King Charles spaniel (her BFF), an Australian shepherd, and a Lab/Husky!

In our house we have Bronx, an American Bulldog/Pit Mix and two cats. She tends to buddy around with my smaller cat, Nanao, since the older feline, Button, is still displeased that dogs exist on the planet.

Kota lives with two other pittie crosses, two cats and a mouse. The female cat rules! He has lived with several others who have passed on from old age. When our 16-year-old Shih Tzu lost his eyesight, Kota became his eyes and would help him outside. Would sleep with him and cuddle him. When our 20-plus-year-old budgie died Kota paced the floor looking for her all night and fretting. Very sensitive pittie. Love him so much. He makes my life whole.

Yes – two cats and two guinea pigs.

Our fur babies are a pitt, a Pomeranian, a Chihuahua and a Chi-wienie. All of which get along just fine.
