Female pitbull terrier to loving home

Ankeny IA

Description

I have a female pitbull not fixed, (don’t even try to breed her, she will not allow it). She is two years old and is needing new home quickly. We have a 7 month old female we have had since she was 6 weeks old and Kacey was like a mama dog to her. They would roll around and play, eat together, sleep beside eachother. A couple months ago our younger female began showing signs of dominance and trying to mount her.Then when Kacey went into heat a month ago, when this happened the day of Christmas, Kacey bit her. We put Kacey in a separate room of the house for a while until she was out of heat to see if they could reunite so we could get her fixed and make it work, but now she has growled at her when we take her out passing by. I think she will never reunite because the dominance fight was never established. She also does have some leash aggression too. She will go after another dog if they approach her on a leash. She did get along with my moms adult female, but she wasn’t in heat. We have an 11 yr old male pit as well, they have gotten along very well since day 1. But he was here first, so obviously that dominance was already established. She’s fine with cats, also. She absolutely loves men, women, and especially loves her kids. She is 90 pounds, thick, and at times she can be very lovey and will give you a hug, but she does not jump up on people. She loves belly rubs and she is happy sleeping next to you or especially kids, but if you want her to sleep in her own bed, all you do is tell her and she will stay off the bed, or furniture. She doesn’t chew up anything and is very good going potty outside, she’s never had an accident- and she goes out right away. She goes out before work and I let her out 8 hours later, then at bed. She loves her bones, also. Her personality is the best! She is a happy dog who will welcome any stranger into the home. She is absolutely not aggressive in any way towards people. She doesn’t bark a lot unless someone is at the door, then she will bark a few times to let you know. She rolls around and let’s my 4 boys ages 5-14 roll around on the floor and play with her. They can pull on her ears or hug her and she just loves it and will lick their cheeks. Then she will lay next to or in bed with them all night. We will only let her go to an experienced home that knows about the breed and is willing to properly train her on leash aggression. Will not over feed her, as she is slightly overweight, and someone who has another fixed male dog, won’t breed her, someone who’s can afford to fix her. We can do a trial period or a meet and greet first. She loves basking in the sun outside so if you have a fenced in yard great, but she doesn’t dig or jump at all, so we just tie her out and she’ll lay in the sun all day if you let her. My kids and I are so heartbroken over this as she is part of the family, but we can’t afford to fix her, train her, or to take any chances at the two of our dogs not reuniting. We need a home quickly as she doesn’t deserve to live apart from the family a lot of the time. If this doesn’t work out after any time period we will take her back and find her a more suitable home, or we’d like for you to not resort to the ARL.. as she is a wonderful dog in the right home.

Thank you for taking the time to consider giving the loving girl a new chance with a family who can better provide for her. <3 Lindsey
