Drew (aka Buddy)

When I'm with my human family I like to go with the flow. I am perfectly content with lounging around all day but if you want to be active, I love running around. I love playing fetch with tennis balls or running around the house all day with my other dog friend. I also have some endurance as I have been on a 3 mile run before.

I love to play with my other dogs and tennis balls.

I make my family laugh when I don't realize my own size and jump up on someones lap just so I can snuggle.

My favorite game with my canine friends is running circles around the house. I outweigh my friend by 40lbs but the wrestling always goes in her favor. I can adapt my playing style based on the size of the other dog. I just like to have fun and run around.

I live with an 18 month old and I am very calm around her. She likes to pet me and it doesn't bother me. Most of the time I just ignore her and let her pet me. Sometimes my tail will whack her out of excitement. I think I am pretty conscious of her because I have yet to knock her over.

I have not met any animals other than dogs.

In case youre wondering, I do ask to go out when I gotta go.

People tell me that Im more adoptable if I know things. Here are the commands that Ive already learned - sit, stay, leave it, lay down and shake. I also know heel and I am very good on a leash. I am also obedient off of the leash.

My foster family knows me pretty well and they think I can fit in with any type of family. I would be a great companion for a single person or a full family. I am crate trained and I don't have a problem being left alone during the day. I love to be in the company of my owner, whether that is one person or four people.

Geez - I almost forgot to tell you that I am a HUGE cuddle monster. I will get on anybody's lap and try to snuggle up as much as I can. I love sleeping in the bed with my owner and I will definitely snuggle up with you. If I am bothering you, I also don't mind sleeping in my own bed. I just love people and I will make a perfect addition to any household.

Note about puppies: Many people want to adopt pit bull puppies because they feel that, by adopting them younger, there is less chance that they will be aggressive as they get older. While human aggression is not a predisposed standard trait of this breed, a very real likelihood of maturing into canine aggression does exist. Good socialization will certainly help with the aggression that any unsocialized breed might have as they get older. This aggression can be bourne from the fear of the unknown and socialization early and often is the best solution to this. Unfortunately, there is also a component of some pit bulls that is a genetic canine aggression (aggression towards other dogs). This cannot be socialized out and generally does not manifest itself until they reach maturity, which can be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years of age. If you are adopting a puppy to include into a multi-dog family, be aware that, through no fault of his own, this puppy can mature into a dog that might be unpredictable with the other dogs in your family and out in the world. This is not a certainty by any means but something that a responsible pit bull owner should know and be aware of.

Please note that Pit Bull Rescue San Diego does not adopt on a first come first served basis. Generally we have formed an opinion about the sort of home that we want for each of the dogs in our program. This opinion is formed from knowing each dog and observing their interactions in various situations and through periodic evaluations. Our goal is to place our charges in the home that is the best possible for that particular dog. Our only goal is happiness and forever homes for our dogs. A forever home is most likely to happen when we do the best we can to find lifestyles and personalities that match.

We are aware that this is a human process and that you may or may not agree with our decisions. Please understand that we take very seriously the lives placed in our hands for this brief time and our decisions are only made out of protectiveness for the breed and the specific dogs we are placing and not out of any judgment of you or your life.
