Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Pete, and I love everybody! And my red blanket! And my Nylabones! I am between 18 mos. and 2 yrs old, 60 lbs. of muscle, house trained, crate trained, good on a leash, neutered, tattooed, microchipped, current on vaccinations. Don’t be fooled by my scary pit bull face. I’m just a very handsome goofball who hogs the bed and snores just a little. I’m athletic, but not hyper, and am a good sleeper. I’m friendly to cats, other dogs, and kids. I used to jump up on visitors, but have improved dramatically. I occasionally must be reminded because I’m so happy happy HAPPY to see them!
I am intensely loyal and affectionate, a TERRIFIC watch dog, but not an attack dog! When I’m not napping or playing with my buddy Jack the Pyrenees, I follow Foster Mom around, gazing at her adoringly. I’m very smart, and so eager to please! I sit politely and wait for my dinner dish to be placed on the floor, and I know “sit” and “stay.” I should of course have a fenced yard so I can show off how fast I can streak across the grass.
I was adopted in May by a man who saw at once that I was not a good fit for an elderly stroke victim on a walker. Foster Mom helped him find a calm senior dog, and now I live with her, waiting for a permanent home. She loves me sooo much, but already has 3 special needs dogs, 2 of whom are big boys. Her 3rd dog is Hopsey, a senior shepard mix missing a front leg. She is the boss of everybody, especially me. If she thinks Jack & I are playing too rough in the house, she barks at me sternly and I obey at once!
Please contact Foster Mom if you think I may be your guy, ctaite@dcso.nashville.org, I am so easy to love, and this is my chance!
