Pitopotamus

American Pit Bull Terrier Mastiff

Female, 7 yrs 8 mos
Southport, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pitopotamus is a sweet and goofy lady who has no idea she is a senior. She does have ongoing medical issues including requiring a prescripion diet for her skin. She gets baths once weekly with a medicated shampoo. This routine seems to be working very well for her. She does also have a sensitive stomach so doesnt get treats or human food. She was labeled as dog aggressive, however, she has gone two years with no incidents and has been introduced to several new dogs. She also was labeled as cat aggressive however has only shown mild interest in cats(always separated by kennel door) unless they swat her then she barks. Due to the risks she needs to be in a home with no cats and mild tempered dogs, with an experienced and patient owner she likely could live with a housemate. Never been around children but is quite clumsy so might knock them over. Her adoption fee would go as a negative credit on her account to go towards future medical care. Up to date on vaccines and prevention!

Story
Shiloh was rescued from a local shelter. She was extremely shy when we pulled her from the shelter and still can be shy when meeting new people or doing new things. She is most comfortable when she knows her surroundings. She is good with calmer, quieter kids and other dogs. She does not tolerate cats. Shiloh loves to cuddle and she's a great kisser! She will do best in a quiet structured environment. Since she doesn't like change, she never has tried to run away! A great dog for someone that works at home and is a couch potato!

Story
Zeus is usually a pretty mellow guy unless he sees something he wants to chase. He gets along well with dogs he knows but needs slow introductions with new dogs. He is good with kids. Zeus had his back right leg amputated when he was a pup after being hit by a car. His front right paw needs special attention also due to the way it healed. Zeus also has reoccurring bouts with gastritis, so his diet needs to be monitored.
