When I'm with my human family I love to cuddle up with them and when I do I always fall asleep in their laps. I follow them around the house, and will do anything as long as its together. Im a pretty mellow boy people always say they cant believe how calm I am for a puppy, but thats my style.

I love to play with my big foster sister Ginger, she is my best friend we play tugawar, tackle, chase, basically anything fun. I love to take her toys from her but she she doesn't mind she is great a sharing with me. My favorite toys are anything that i can chew for a long time.

I make my family laugh when I wake up from my naps i think i am ready to get up but then i fall back down and close my eyes. I also have the best "sad" face, I show it when i want to cuddle they just cant resist me.

My favorite game with my canine friends is tackle. My foster sister is a big girl and we play pretty rough but we love it. I also like to play with little dogs they are so fast I try to catch them but I never can. I love playing with new friends.

I've met kids as young as 3yrs old and i loved them. My mom is a teacher and on special days she takes me to her work. The kids all love me and I love it when they throw balls for me. My mom says i have great manners with the kids because I never jump on them but I do like to give them lots of kisses.

.

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 - I know how to sit and I stay still until i get my treat, I am potty trained and always go outside, I scratch on the door when i gotta go.I am working on not jumping on my mom but its hard for me because i love her so much.

My foster family knows me pretty well and they think the perfect family for me would be one that gives me lots of love, I am great with other dogs and would love to have a friend. I am a very sweet boy who just loves anyone who loves me.

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.
