My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING PLEASE CONTACT mdickey78@gmail.com / 703-926-9527 IF INTERESTED

Good morning. I have a VERY sweet pit rescue that we got in August who is around 2.5 years old. Once we got him home it was clear he had some dog aggression issues. We hired a trainer and he completed the training, but was not able to be introduced to other dogs by the end of it. He escaped one day and got to a smaller dog in the neighborhood and had a negative interaction with him where he picked him up in his mouth and swung him around. Thankfully there were no injuries. We sent him to a 6 week program where he did great and didn't show any aggression to other dogs and was shock collar trained. His first day home he slipped out of his collar and leash and went after another dog. Again, no injuries, but it has become clear that our neighborhood is not the right home for him. He would do great in a more secluded environment where there are less opportunities for meeting other dogs and where he can be a little more relaxed. He is on Prozac which has helped him overall tremendously. He's great with people and kids.

When you are ready to adopt a new friend, we’ll ask you to complete our friendly screening process, which ensures safe and successful adoptions!
•Fill out an Adoption Application.
•We’ll have a brief conversation with you to determine your needs and preferences, find out about your daily schedule, and talk about your previous experience with pets.
•If applicable, we’ll call your veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for.
•For renters, we’ll check with your landlord to ensure that dogs are permitted and that the dog that you’re adopting wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions.
•Lastly, we’ll visit your home to see the environment where the dog will live and answer your questions. This is a great opportunity for you to get valuable input on how to integrate your new pet into your home.

This process typically takes less than a week and then you are ready to take your pet home!
