About Zero

Meet Zero!! I don't know what it is about this guy but he's very special. Everyone that meets him just falls in love with him. He's a big baby with a crappy past and all he wants is to be loved on. Zero was initially seized by animal control. He lived outside and when they found him he was starved, chained outside and had infected cuts on his legs. Thankfully he was saved in time. He healed up nicely and gained his weight back. He quickly went to a great home but sadly has been returned to us. This guy is really a big loving scaredy cat of a dog. He is super outgoing with other dogs and people but also gets afraid of walking through doors at the pet store. He also doesn't like to be alone. Really just an oversized sweet baby. He is an approx 3 year old, male Pitbull/ Staffy type mix. He weighs 66 pounds and is full grown. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is thankfully heartworm negative. Zero was very loved by his adoptive family. He was only returned due to accidentally hurting their cats. We want to be clear that he is not at all aggressive to cats or other animals. The cats got hurt on three separate occasions just due to his size and weight. Due to this we want him to go to a home with out cats or tiny dogs just so he does not accidentally hurt a smaller animal. He loves all people and does great meeting everyone. He's very much an overgrown puppy. Super sweet, goofy and loving. He's done well with all the dogs he's met so far. Other dogs sometimes get annoyed with his hyper play so a tolerant playmate would be best. He loves everyone including kids however he is big strong and playful. He may accidentally knock over small kids but he does not have any aggressions towards them. Zero is partially crate trained. He will stay in but can be vocal in protest. He doesn't have to be crated as he's not been destructive but he has been crated during the work day in hopes to get him more comfortable with it. He will willingly go in the crate when asked he just gets loud once he realizes he will be staying in it. He pulls a lot still when walked on the leash. He doesn't get sick on car rides but can be very anxious about them. He is always happy to get where he is going but not sure about the trip lol. He is potty trained with a doggie door. He does get very anxious when moved to a new place and did have several potty accidents while adjusting to his foster home. It seems to be anxiety related and once settled he does very well. Zero LOVES to play fetch. He is obsessed with his ball. He will do it for hours. He will bring it right to you and drop it in your lap or at your feet. He would be so happy to have someone wanting a dog to play endless games of fetch with them. He has a moderate energy level. He loves to go outside with you, play with other dogs but mostly wants to lay around with you and be loved on. He's such a sweet soul. He soaks up any affection he can get from people. He does get very hyper when you first get home or let him out of the crate. Once he gets some of that excited energy out he is much calmer and laid back. Zero has shown no food aggression with people but needs to eat separate from other dogs. He came to us starved and sometimes that leads to being protective over food. He does not do it with people at all. He is happy to eat in his crate or in another room if you have other pets. There are thousands of blue pitbull types out there looking for homes but this guy has something special. Its hard to explain but when you meet him you'll feel it to. He is still a little rough around the edges with training but the person willing to put in the work with him is going to end up with the most loyal and steadfast companion you could ever ask for.
