When I'm with my human family I am so happy for any attention I can get.

I love to play with anything! Tin cans, balls, rocks, ropes. Watch out! Because I will chew things if not supervised.

I make my family laugh when I share food with Anthony (a one year old little boy), he holds on tight to the treat, but i won't nip or knock him down. I would be perfect for a houshold with children. I really love little kids.

I live with kids that are 1-7 years old. I've met kids as young as infants and I am GREAT with them. I love kids!! I love people!

Other types of animals I've met include Cats, and Horses and when I interact with them I okay as long as they don't run!

In case you're wondering, I do ask to go out when I gotta go.

People tell me that I'm more adoptable if I know things. Here are the commands that I've already learned - I am great at my basic commands. I also know how to shake! I am really reliably house trained. I have been out in my house all night, and I hold it till I can venture outside.

My foster family knows me pretty well and they think the perfect family for me would be one that has no dogs but does have kids. I am so sweet with them. I may be a little bit hyper, but I will never jump up on, or rough-house with little kids. I seem to know just how big and strong I am. I am a very loving, and submissive dog.

Geez - I almost forgot to tell you that I am just the cutest pit bull you ever saw.

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.
