Nope, not keeping him, JW, but got tired of calling him "dog". LOL He was very timid when he first arrived, both toward me and the other dogs. I have not raised my hand as if to hit, but when I shook out the rug on Sunday, I watched his reaction, as he was very close to me, but kept reassuring him it was ok. He was afraid, but held his ground once he heard my soothing words. I will have him checked for a microchip before he is neutered. The vet's office can do that. I just hate to drive him to town just to have him checked for microchip. Yes, you're so right, it is VERY possible he could have been someone's dog and wandered away to save himself! That's why I'm not going to hurry to get him neutered tomorrow. I think I should give a person at least a week to find the ads and find him again, if he is lost that is.
Sissy, I can sure see where they are a devoted breed. He has not left my side since I brought him inside this evening with the other dogs. The others have gone to lay on their blanket and bed, Barney is laying right next to my chair. He has become very devoted already, so that's a good thing, he can learn to change to the circumstances of a new family.
I would not have a problem putting him in a home, if someone truly wants a pit bull and wants one that is friendly. If they want one to be a watch dog, and bite people, he's not for them. He is afraid of Grace, my cat, kind of like Arthur is with your Pee Wee. He follows her around, but she is not afraid of him at all. The cats in the barn come up to him, too, so they already know he is not to be feared, which is a good thing.

only good thing harley and hunter would always attack me with kisses to make it all better ,darn dogs always knew .

 

[sissy]

amazing he is so calm around cats as most dogs no matter what breed don't like cats .He had to have been raised around them .Usually the male dogs get very attached to a female .Have you put signs up like in pet stores and grocery stores .I know sometimes people are afraid to claim a dog here because they will be fined .Here they mostly put pitbulls to sleep and such a shame .

I have not done any advertising yet, Sissy. I want someone else to pay for the neutering, but not at the expense of the dog being put into the first home that wants him. If they are good people, so be it. But, if they are not going to regulate who gets him, just go by who has the first money, that's crazy! I find it strange, too, that he is somewhat afraid of Grace, but he also knew immediately what a litter box was, so that tells me he was raised in a house with cats, probably with cats with claws! I also learned at the Animal Control will put them to sleep, and Humane Society will not even take one in! They have a facility, but won't take a pit bull. Not fair! But, if they feel they cannot be housed with other dogs, for fear of fights, then maybe I can understand that. Anyhow, someone told me that may be why someone ditched this dog, and didn't take him to be adopted out.

I know they have a pitbull rescue online and have one in a lot of states .The dog if not taught to fight will not fight ,no dog will unless scared .I have owned several and none were mean .Harley was deathly afraid of men and would hide and hitler was afraid of people with glasses on .He would no growl but he sure would run in fear ..Harley and Hitler both loved children though .The dog only gets a bad rap because of people .

 

[HARO]

Hitler? :dunno:
John

 

[j.w]

I saw that too but decided not to say anything :twisted: :razz:

 

[sissy]

one of the pits was called hitler and the other was harley .Hunter was a weimerwiener hence the name hunter .

 

[j.w]

But why Hitler sissy I'm wondering now? Maybe he had a mustache or walked w/ goose steps? Usually we name our pets after someone we like. Like I wouldn't name my dog Satan :FIREdevil:
Hitler does make for interesting conversation tho :razz:

 

[HARO]

We of German descent are not allowed to mention the name H----r! And what on earth is a Weimerwiener? Don't tell me... a cross between a Weimeraner and a sausage!?
