Dog Name: Bacon
Breed: Pit bull terrier
Sex: Male
Age: 4
Weight: 65
Medical Needs: none
Housebroken: yes
Crate trained: yes
Good in the car: yes, but needs to be restrainted because he thinks he should drive
Good on a leash: he is fine until something grabs his attention and he wants to go see it. Then he is strong. Because of this he will need a strong handler and/or someone willing to use other training tools.
Energy level: mild for his size, very low key in the house, loves to play frisbee and loves to catch water out of a garden hose.
Need a fenced in yard: no, but he is not trained in recall so he should be tethered when outside
Dog Friendly: yes
If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No
Cat Friendly? Yes
Kid Friendly: yes, older kids because he has no concept of personal space
If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 10
Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Bacon has done wonderful in his foster home. He meanders around the house politely. He respects physical boundaries.
At 65 lbs he thinks he’s a literal lap dog and loves to envade your personal space. He’s fun to play with. Frisbee and catch the water are just a couple games he enjoys playing. He is on the shy side and needs time to warm up to new people. He has a tell when he is nervous, he starts to drawl. He takes property security very seriously. He will definitely let you know with deep barks someone has arrived. This playful and well mannered boy is ready to find his forever home.
