I need a home.
This is a coworker's foster furchild - feel free to cross-post.
The proposed home he was going to have in Arizona fell through and he's running out of time.
Los Angeles County has a policy of euthanizing all pit bulls that are presented to them. It's not an option.
Mark will answer all comers - check out the application he's built!

Yes, some -- perhaps a disproportionate number -- are aggressive, but plenty of cities and non-profit rescue organizations do fine adopting them out, as long as they get to know them first and find out how dependable they are.

Please try contacting L.I.F.E. Animal Rescue in Thousand Oaks, CA - they don't normally take Pits but they had a lot of luck with Arlo TPBOL and they may take him in if you can't find him a home!

They are a *very* small shelter, though, and I don't know how much room they have right now.
Still. They may have resources to get his info out that we don't have, right?

Date: 2003-12-23 05:12 pm (UTC)A paper here in Toronto just published an article about how there is a huge percentage of abandoned pit bulls in the Humane Society, and they have real trouble adopting them out because of their image problem. Meanwhile they can be incredibly sweet dogs if cared for properly.
Good luck with your search for a home. It would be a real shame if somebody wasn't able to adopt him.

Date: 2003-12-23 05:32 pm (UTC)I have to limit my total number of dogs, because I'm going to be breeding Tollers one of these days. I told
Dogs live in the house most of the time, and sleep in the bedroom on the floor. When we are home, they are in. When we are out, the dogs are in the (fenced) yard. Dogs get to run around loose under strict human supervision on our 5 acres, but they have to be voice-trained.
I hesitate to bring a pit bull into a retriever household, though, especially with an intact, rather dominant male show dog around. Let me know if Mark doesn't find him another home, and I'll see what my breeder and my fiance have to say about Pong.

Such a sweet pup, I hope a home is found!
