About Me

Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts
My foster mom found me tied to a burned out house in the north side of St. Louis. Someone left me there and her pack of dogs all wanted to be friends with me. It was a very hot day and I was really scared. I had a rope around my neck that was so tight I could barely breathe so she took me home with her.
I am a male pit bull terrier and weigh about 68 pounds. Some people think I look kind of intimidating but my foster mom knew I was friendly so she has been trying to find a permanent home for me. She found Sherry at Gateway Pet Guardians and Sherry helped me a lot by putting a picture of me up at petfinders.com and the rescue helped to get me vaccinated and neutered. I am totally healthy, happy and about 3 years old or so.
Right now I live in a little house with my foster mom and her other dogs who are cool but old. They don't like to play too much but my foster mom takes me on long walks every day and has taught me manners. I'm very smart; I learned very fast! She is teaching me using the techniques of the dog whisperer Cesar Millan and I think she really understands me!
I have lots of energy but I know not to chew things up or misbehave. I am very happy but it is kind of crowded here; I need a permanent home!

My Interests

Long walks in the park, on the street, by the river and to the pet store. Learning to be a good pack member. Chasing furry things that run. Getting my head scratched. Sniffing. Marking trees. Meeting new people and new dogs.

I'd like to meet:

My dream is to meet a nice person or family that would give me a permanent home. I have been working really hard on my manners and am housebroken. I am polite on a leash and don't pull at all. I know how to sit, lay down and roll over when told to and I am very gentle when taking treats. I know not to jump up and am very calm as long as I get walked. I am neutered and vaccinated and totally healthy and happy. I absolutely love other dogs, even little skittish ones, and would love to live with a pack of active friends. I would love to live in a house full of kitties but my foster mom thinks it is a bad idea since I kind of go insane when I see them. I don't live with kids right now but I have liked all the ones I have met!

Music:

Tarif Haidouks and The Black Sheep. They have barking dogs in their songs and it really freaks me out!

Movies:

I've never seen one but I know I could be a star!

Television:

"The Dog Whisperer" and any show with meowing kitties. It gets me really worked up.

Books:

I haven't eaten one in a long time!

Heroes:

Cesar Millan, K-9 from the Marvin the Martian cartoons, Gunther Gable Williams, Air Bud, Search and Rescue dogs, and all people who give me love.
