We are getting our first dog!! I'm so incredibly excited! I contacted a local rescue who fosters all their available dogs. I went an adoption event and met 3 sweeties, and met another one at the foster mom's house today. After spending 2 days with one particular dog, we think we found the one we want to take home. He's about 3 years old, 50 lbs, and is great with other dogs, cats, and children. He came from a high population city shelter that he was at for a few months. He's so good with other dogs, that they used him at the shelter as a "test dog" to meet the new dogs and cats coming in and evaluate how they react with strange dogs. He's already potty trained and knows a lot of basic commands and responds quickly and attentively. He has some good basic manners but occasionally will still jump up if over excited and likes licking faces. He's not a fan of treats or food much, but LOVES attention and to be praised. He's a snuggler and will lean on you or flop himself across your lap and has this adorable way of gazing up into your eyes when he's leaning into you. He doesn't pull on a leash. There are still a lot of questions I want to ask the foster mom when the rescue owner gives me her email. But overall, I think he's a great little man, and so friendly and happy!
The rescue owner will be bringing him to our apartment this weekend for a home inspection and we will finalize the adoption then! SO EXCITED!! His rescue name is "Elton" but we would like to chage that.
Does anyone have suggestions for a good name for this handsome guy?
Here is his profile at the rescue's site: http://www.californiapitbullrescue.org/#!elton/coaf
And here are a few other from the event yesterday. Didn't get any pictures today.
Haha here he is looking up at me while I was trying to take a picture (rather difficult with 50 lbs leaning into you!)
