Venus (aka Cami)

Cami loves to kiss and play with all children. She gets very excited and happy when around people in general.

Cami likes to play with her kong (filled with peanut butter of course), play tug-of-war, go for walks , and follow me around the house. She loves the terry loofa dog toy it is a long plush green dog. Also loves chewing on rawhide knotted bones.

She loves to play with toys. She is working on fetch, sometime she does and sometimes she looks at us like what do you want me to do with that? It is a work in progress but she is doing very well.

We had only had her for a 2 days and my husband was playing his video games when I looked over at them and Cami was just watching the TV while he was playing. She loves to sit and watch him play. It is too cute.

She hardly barks. The only time that she does is when she wants to play and you are not paying attention to her, or if she needs to go outside. Other than that she is a quiet dog. She is even quiet when I come home or one of my friends comes up to the house. But, she will be there to great you with a big smile (well not a real smile but you know what I mean) and wagging her tail. She is nothing but a lover.

Adopting me will be a lifelong commitment, and my new family needs to be ready, willing and able to provide me not only with lots of love as an indoor member of the family, but also with ongoing training and socialization.

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.
