About DAMON (west)

SCHEDULED TO BE EUTHANIZED. Hi, my name is DAMON ID#A4510299. I am a neutered male, white and black American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire mix. I am about a year old, and have been at the shelter since December 3, 2020. I am E-listed for a few reasons and the shelter made it clear I will not have any extensions. I bit someone in my last home and I am struggling so bad in my kennel at the shelter I am injuring myself in my surroundings (head butting Guillotine door to the point of breaking it twice). I am a strong dog. I am so young that I deserve another chance.... Can you save my life? Here is all the shelter has in their notes re my bite occurrence at my last home: 'Doing dishes and placed food near sink'. Really? Is this all that could be documented? Not fair...if only I could speak! All I can say is that I am a very young boy and I think I was in the wrong home. I was friendly on intake and was fine in the yard when the volunteers had me out to assess. I did fine with other dogs also. I must go to a experienced home with yard with no children for now. I will need solid assessment and training so please pledge on this post for a Rescue to step up. This is the only way to save my life at this point. Again, I am still just a puppy so I hope you can all help me live....
