About Sammy

Pit Bull
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

I rescued Sammy, i've known him since december and he's been ok around kids. He's killed the old owners duck but they neglected him bad because the other part wolf they had was territorial and would abuse him�'�| It made him territorial towards other animals. I took him in a few months ago, i've taught him to walk, he doesn't run outside anymore, he doesn't chew stuff up, he is good with kids but my 10 month old started annoying him, yes it's a hassle, but the main problem is i live in apartments and none of these people watch their animals. There is a Chihuahua that's bitten 8 people that a little girl brought to my house after i told her not too, I went in and boom he's outside my door, and my dog sees him before i do, he bit the little dog and o tried to pick it up and the other dog bit me (now infected) then my dog mauled theirs. They made i report because they don't watch their dog and it's vicious but still. Sammy needs someone who can take him in to a no toddler no animal house or home, someone who can give him more 1 on 1 and teach him that he's ok. He's not territorial around food. Very respectful to me. I had to potty train him at 3 years old.. he was in bad condition, i've seen do much progress with him and nowhere wants to take him and he's probably end up getting put down. The pound said it sounds like he was protecting me but i know Sammy. The cat would have been next. He's 80 pounds and i'm 90, he needs someone who can control him with no worries he will break free. (Which he hasn't since we started walking but the want is still there) Since he bit that dog im afraid he will bite my kid. I just feel it's the responsible thing to do since nobody else cares about what their dogs do. He loves his toys, dog bones, Cuddling, he has very good energy meaning when he is properly exercised he does NOT get wound up. However, he has ran away before. The boy can run. Never hurt another dog before though. He's very loyal, and he made me feel safe, likes baths, blue buffalo treats, will lay and sit and shake, will lay on his bed, i do not spank him, his last owner did and i feel i make more progress with love and respect. Needs fixed. i feel that's 90% of the issue i just don't want him around my kids, the dog he mailed was my 7 year old daughters friends dog. My kids dad has him now, he is looking for a good home because we don't want to see him out down when he has so much potential, but ultimately he will be surrendered to the humane society around all those other dogs and they will probably euthanize him. He is a purebred Bluenose pit bull with no papers because his dad was rescued from a dog fighting ring, he had minimal to zero contact with Sammy as a puppy. If that's a concern.
