About Lupin

We are currently fostering this bundle of joy and hoping to find him a permanent home. Lupin, as in Remus Lupin all you Harry Potter fans, is a rescue who came to us two and a half months ago. Our friends found him in their alley. Lupin is a handsome, playful, cuddly and loving, two-year-old, 55-pound (and gaining) male pit bull terrier looking for a loving guardian. He is fantastic with teens and adults; best in a home without small children and cats. Lupin is well-behaved in the home, knows the commands sit, stay and leave it. During the day he is free all day in the home without a crate. At night, he sleeps in a dog bed on the floor in the bedroom. He had a lot of leash aggression when we first got him but he's walking like a pro now and we've been trying to socialize him with other dogs more and more through day services and parks. When we got him assessed, the trainer said he just doesn't know how to play - he was never taught. This sweet pup was found stray, and emaciated. We don't know where he came from, but he was 25 pounds underweight and his teeth were ground down as if he were chewing his way out of a cage, or off of a chain. His original owners were never found. Despite his poor treatment, he loves people, gives kisses and leans against you on the couch. He thinks he is the size of a small dog and may sit in your lap. Lupin is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped and heartworm-tested. He's looking for a home where someone has time to play ball with him and continue his training.
