Meet CZL-D-pit mix

This listing is not affiliated with Desoto Animal Rescue Society. Please contact [email protected] for more information. He seems to be a little over a year old. He is very much in his teen years. He is scared of strangers at first, but after he gets a treat and decides he loves you, he just wants to be in your lap. He has not shown any signs of aggression to me or my husband. He met my parents and loved them instantly. He loves car rides and he walks on a loose leash. Since he is underweight, he is very food motivated but he has not offered to growl or react when I have been near/moved his food dish. He doesn’t bark or get riled up when my dogs are barking or crying inside the house. A stranger walked outside of our parked car the other day and he simply watched with interest instead of lunging at the window. In about 2 days he has learned that he needs to either potty on pee pads or wait to go outside. He learned the sit command in about 5 minutes and seems to understand that that is a more reliable way to get pets instead of jumping. I think this dog would be a huge couch potato. He just wants to be where his human is. The hard thing is that with the little amount of time we can spend with him, his excitement is over the top. It makes it very hard for him to settle down and almost impossible for him to try to get used to how to behave in a “house environment”. It is killing me to have him out there all alone with only small bursts of human interaction. I have tried to find him a home but I have no resources in the community. We desperately want to find him a foster family or rescue that can help him find a family of his own. We are willing to drive him to you. We are willing to pledge money to support his care. Can you please help us? This guy just needs a chance.

Adoption Process
We are not a shelter with a facility where you can visit our pets. All rescued pets live in our own homes, where they are evaluated and cared for until they find their ideal adoptive family. We do our best to to make the best match for pet and new family. We carefully screen prospective homes and require all applicants to go through an adoption application process. Everyone who wishes to adopt an animal must fill out a pre-adoption survey. Once it is approved, we will review the contract with you to ensure that the animal will be cared for appropriately. Standard Donations for adoptions are $125 for Dogs and $75 for Cats. Donations cover up to date shots, spay/neuter, heart worm screening and treatment, feline AIDS and leukemia tests and other veterinary care.
