Urgent! 1 yr old puppy needs out of shelter by 11/19!

Phoenix AZ

Description

Hi, I'm Ruckus. 🐾 (recommended to be an only dog at this time.) I am set to be euthanized on 11/20. Why am I E-listed? I am stressed! I'm mentally breaking down! Some dogs can handle being in this kennel day after day but not me! I'm barking and jumping due to stress! Its just not right to keep me here anymore like this. Who can save my life? I don't want to die.... I'm Just one years old! I'm a un-neutered male, white American Pit Bull Terrier/Mix (58 lbs.). The person that found me said I was friendly and loved adults and children. Volunteers love me as I want to be close to them. I love attention, yet, can be jumpy but, geez... I'm still a puppy!! I am treat motivated which is good for getting me trained. Before I became so stressed, I used to wag my tail and was playful when staff approached with a leash and walked well on-leash. Now, I behave in a frantic manner; jumping, barking, trying to push out of my kennel and pull hard on a leash. Again, I'm mentally breaking down. No dog-to-dog evaluation was done, but shelter notes say that I get overly excited in proximity to other dogs. I am required to have a Behavior Team consult before I leave and children in the home must be 12+. An experienced adopter or foster, in-home training, and a meeting with the entire family is recommended. It might be best that I am an only dog at this time. I don’t want to be put down! Will you save my life? Love, Ruckus❤ To meet me, please call or message us here.
