I am an American Staff Mix and I was rescued by my dad back in 2004. Since then my dad has gotten married and recently had a baby boy, whose 3 months old. The baby has the beginning of respiratory problem and my shedding doesn’t help him. Sadly my dad and step-mom have decided to find me a new home.

I’m 7 years old and weigh 60 pounds. I am an excellent dog if I do say so myself, I am smart, fully potty trained, am mellow and great with kids (except for my shedding). I am ok with other dogs if you have one in the home but prefer to be the only child to avoid issues.

My only fault is that I shed, which I cannot control. I am neutered, have all my shots, a microchip and am licensed. I follow simple commands like; sit, beg, down, stay, if you say inside I go to my bed/crate and I even shake hands. I love playing fetch and I have an affinity for tennis balls. I am a loyal and faithful companion.

If you want to meet please call my dad at 917-568-3500 or email him at                                     wander718@gmail.com

There is NO fee for Petey, we just want him to be well cared for and loved.

Your future best friend,

Petey

So I found this dog on the side of the road yesterday, in NC.  He is a pit bull mix, supposedly born March 22, 2009, and was microchipped May 25, 2009.  He is a neutered male, has shown zero signs of aggression so far, even when my Dane has pinned him, etc.  I’ve had him around horses, dogs, and cats, and he’s been a solid citizen and totally submissive with all of them.  He is unbelievably sweet and very well-behaved.  Totally housebroken, jumps right into the Mini (and rode with the Great Dane, so they are pretty much right on top of each other).  He knows sit, stay, come, etc.  Very calm, very friendly to everyone.  I’ve dragged him all over the place in 24 hours, including to a party, and he’s coped with all of it.  So, the story is that he supposedly went missing in Florida 4 months ago.  I found the owner via microchip, but she is saying that she can’t afford to come get him, and I have some concerns about her providing a good home.  I have a rescue person checking it out, and if she seems legit, I just need to find him a ride to Florida, but I’m looking for a home for him in case the owner continues to seem sketchy.  So, please pass him along, I’m very afraid that if I don’t find a home for him quickly, I’m going to get too attached!
