Geisha Rossi
Geisha was rescued from an Los Angeles Animal Shelter in 2000 at nine months old. When Shorty went to get his
first pit bull after his incarceration, he went to the North Central Animal Shelter in Los Angeles. After looking at the
dozens of pit bulls in the shelter, he came across Geisha, a dog that was supposed to be euthanized that day.
Shorty immediately feel in love with Geisha and adopted her.

Shorty actually had to come back later that evening to pick up Geisha because she needed to be fixed. As he
returned, he was informed that she didn’t get fixed, and they couldn’t release her – that Shorty should get
another dog instead. Shorty had a friend at the shelter and helped sneak Geisha out the back door and into a
new life.

Geisha became Shorty's "alter ego" and went with him wherever he went. Geisha became a poster dog for pit
bulls. When Shorty injured his back, Geisha was his first service animal.

Not only is Geisha a service dog, she also is involved in volunteer work; she makes frequent visits to nursing
homes, schools, charity functions and hospitals. Geisha is an actress – she has appeared in music videos and
print ads.
