Dog Name: Eight
Breed: Pit mix
Sex: Male
Age: 3
Weight: 70+lbs
Medical Needs: None
Housebroken: Yes, though I've been told he will try to mark in the beginning if given the chance.
Crate trained: Yes, but don't give in when he looks at you all sad-puppy and gives the pitiful whine of the suffering.
Good in the car: Yes, just tether him if you don't want a lap dog while you're trying to drive.
Good on a leash: If you're a firm, confident handler, Eight will give you no trouble. If he smells a sucker, he'll drag you like he's the NASCAR track and you're the car.
Energy level: Medium - can be your best cuddle buddy, but he's also got energy to burn.
Need a fenced in yard: No, leashed walks will be fine. Just know he will try to chase a prey animal.
Dog Friendly: In the home, yes, Eight gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. In public, he can be selective.
If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No, having you all to himself would suit this hunk just fine.
Cat Friendly? No
Kid Friendly: Yes
If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Older children (8+) that are tolerant of potentially being tumbled if Eight gets too enthusiastic and forgets his size.
Traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?
Presenting the one and only Mayor of Himbo City: Eight The Great. This hunk’a hunk’a burnin’ love is all brawn, no brains; he big, he beautiful, he strong, he DUMB. There’s nothing but cotton and air between those ears, mark my words. Eight has exactly one thought behind those soulful eyes, and it's “cheese.”
That being said, this boy is sweet as sweet can be, and sure to turn heads wherever you go with that strut of his. What a specimen, what a delight… what a shame he made his whole shtick “Gym Bro;” now that he's achieved the body of his dreams, he doesn't know what to do with himself. He's a goofball, and a happy one. Can't chase a ball to save his life, but he'll always have a smile for you.
Eight needs someone who won't let him bulldoze over them. He knows what's holding his leash, and if you give him an inch, this himbo will take a mile. Not even out of maliciousness, either; he just be-bop-badoops along to the odd little drum beating in his head, and sometimes the music is louder than everything else. Hopefully you can find it in your heart to forgive him - he really is trying his best.
