Kimo

When I'm with my human family I like to play all the time and i enjoy seeing other people. I love to play tug of war with my family and I am not that strong yet so I always lose. I am full of energy and when it comes to the time to greet my family when they get home, they are always happy to see me no matter what kind of day they are having.

I love to play with my bunny rabbit and my ropes that my family got me. I am still a puppy so I cant play with the big toys yet. I also love balls! I love how they bounce everywhere and I am learning to fetch.

I make my family laugh when I howl like a wolf! I also love entertaining my family by showing them my ridiculous running skills as a puppy! This one time, I was running too fast and was looking back at my family, all of a sudden, I ran into the sofa.

My favorite game with my canine friends is tug of war! I love to tug on that rope even though I have been losing. I also love to be tackled by my canine friends! We chase after eachother all around the backyard and I just love being around other doggies!

I do very well in a crate.

People tell me that Im more adoptable if I know things. Here are the commands that Ive already learned - Sit, hand, and I am working on lay down, fetch, and stay! I learned all these things in just a couple of days! I am a smart puppy and am hoping to learn lots more new things that will make my new family smile.

My foster family knows me pretty well and they think the perfect family for me would be one that has children, loving parents that are not going to leave me home alone for long periods of time, and hopefully they will have another animal, preferably a doggy so that I will never be bored!

Geez - I almost forgot to tell you that you will fall even more in love with me when I am all tired out and I am sleeping! I tend to make funny noises when I sleep, so I will still be entertaining you when I sleep. I am a joyful puppy that will grow up to be a strong minded and fun and protective big dog! I won't let my new family down!

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.
