Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gomez is an athletic, mellow, smart, loyal and handsome, four-year-old, 50-pound, male, pit bull terrier looking for a dog-experienced and loving guardian.
Gomez has been living with a dog trainer who describes him as a sophisticated dude. He’s not the kind of dog to jump up on you and lick your face. Instead, he is respectful and curious. He enjoys affection, playing fetch and going for walk/runs or bike rides. Like all dogs he needs exercise to keep him healthy, but he is basically a low-key couch potato. He is well-mannered in the home, housebroken and crate trained.
While Gomez is very curious about other dogs, he was never properly socialized with other animals when he was a puppy. His dog trainer has worked with him to help him feel comfortable around other dogs but he will do best as the only dog in the home. He will likely be able to have select dog friends as long as their play-time is supervised. He is not good with cats. He knows the commands sit stay and paw, walks well on leash and is receptive to learning more.
If you are looking for a very well trained and respectful dog - Gomez is your man. Complimentary in-home training is included with his adoption fee of $200.
To see Gomez in action, check out his Youtube video at http://youtu.be/lwjVPQqEDrI To meet and possibly adopt Gomez please contact lauren@rhone.us or 312-735-7117 or contact cynzendogs@gmail.com with specific questions for his trainer/foster mom. He is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. He is currently being fostered and trained in Chicago, Illinois.
