My story

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

Buddy is a rescue. We got him from a shelter that rescued him from a dog fighting ring that he was to be used as a bait dog. He is very loving and even will cuddle when he feels comfortable with you. He does not do well with other dogs while on leash, but at the dog park, he is completely fine but will stay close to me. He has never bitten anyone, he does growl and bark at startling noises like a knock on the door and can act tough, but never acts on it. We have tried to train it out of him with immersion, day care, training facilities, but to no avail. He is just a hyper nervous dog. Great with kids, very loyal. He is a7 year old lab/pit/other mix and has been neutered, weighs approx 45 pounds. We used to live in a house with a fenced backyard until my divorce and that helped a lot; however, moving into an apartment, I unfortunately cannot keep him due to my landlord not allowing him to stay. We hate to give him up, but circumstances dictate that we must.
