Story
Name: HazelBreed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 7 years old, about 40 lbs Vetting: Fully vetted, HW Negative, spayed, microchippedHouse trained/Crate trained: I love my crate and am happy to sleep and eat there, especially if I've got a good bone to chew to keep me occupied! I haven't had an accident inside the house in YEARS! Dogs/Cats/Children: I prefer dogs that are big, calm, and friendly! Little dogs, cats, and young kids scare me. None of those please! Energy Level: I love to play fetch with my ball and play with my toys, but I'm also happy to couch-potato around for most of the day. I'm also really good at keeping myself occupied and will even throw the ball for myself or run zoomie laps in the yard if you're too busy to play. Before FAR: My foster mom found me asking for food at the neighbor's house. I was super skinny and had been on the street for a while, but no one would feed me because they couldn't have a dog and wanted me to go away. My foster mom took me in, got me healthy, taught me all the important house rules, and now I'm ready for my forever home! Training Status: I REALLY want to do whatever makes you happy, so I'm really easy to train! I have good recall, can "drop it" on command (even the good stuff, like balls and treats!), and I know "Off", "Go to your room", "Leave it", "Stay", and "Wait". My foster mom taught me that it's not nice to jump on people without their permission (sometimes I still forget!), so she taught me the command "Jump!" where I leap into your arms so you can hold me like a baby! It's my favorite trick and makes me REALLY happy! Things I like: I LOVE balls and toys! I will get them out every day and play with them and I'm pretty hilarious if I do say so myself! I also love to chew bones. But my FAVORITE thing is humans!! I can be happy for hours cuddling on the couch and staring lovingly into the eyes of any (adult) human who will pet me! Oh, and I love to give kisses!Things I don't like: Sometimes when a dog I don't know well gets up in my face, I get really mad! I need really careful, slow introductions and prefer to just hang out with my own pack. Dog parks are NOT my jam! Little kids are weird and unpredictable and that freaks me out. I'd prefer my humans fully grown, please!Ideal Family: I would love a family with one or two bigger dogs to be my friends! A pack of my very own! I don't want to be in charge and I'd like to have a stable, friendly big brother or sister to look up to. I'd also be okay with being the only dog and wouldn't even mind living in an apartment (I'm really quiet most of the time!), as long as I get lots of exercise when my human is home! I don't think I would mind older kids or teenagers in the home, but I've never really met any of those. I'd be willing to give it a shot if it means getting my very own family!Special Notes: You'll be happy to know I'm not afraid of storms or loud noises and I don't mind you leaving me to go to work (as long as you bring me home "the bacon"!). I don't shed very much at all and I love wearing sweaters and jackets in the winter (cuz my belly is naked and I get cold!). I'm not really that food motivated, so I'm not too interested in counter surfing or getting into the trash. Oh, and I know the difference between things that are mine (like toys and bones) and things that are yours (like shoes and chargers), but if I make a mistake at the beginning, just let me know and I won't do it again! I take my human's rules very seriously!
