Rizzo is a high energy and playful pup. He’s a ball of energy that loves his people. He’s very smart and obedient.
He was rescued from a chained situation where he broke free and was found running in traffic in Tucker. He does have a scar on his neck, most likely from being chained. He was taken to the shelter where he developed pneumonia. A foster brought him home to in November to help him recover. The vet gave him a 50/50 chance of survival. He's a fighter and he did survive. Now he deserves a wonderful home.
He is 100% American Staffordshire Terrier but he is small like a pocket pittie. Rizzo can be playful and mouthy like a puppy. He needs a patient owner willing to work with his puppy behaviors and continue training. He also has a medical condition known as a collapsing trachea. For this reason, Rizzo can't take long walks on a leash even with a harness.
He's nervous around new people but only in the home. He can be protective of his people in the house but is great outside of the home meeting new people.
He loves to play in the yard. He loves having lots of toys to squeak and play with and he loves having unlimited supplies of cow ears and bully sticks.
He has no resource guarding issues and he isn’t destructive in any way. He is great with dogs and cats and would love to live with another dog with a similar play style.
He does need a fenced yard to run around in so he can get his energy out. He can’t be outside for long periods of time in the Summer due to his collapsed trachea.
Housebroken, but he needs to go outside first thing in the morning before you even brush your teeth.
Age: 2 years Weight: 46 lbs Vetting: Up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines Temperament: good with bigger kids and other dogs. Training: House trained and knows how to use pee pads. For questions, please email aimiablepetcare@aol.com To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.
