Fun 3-yr-old APT Needs Adopter/Foster ASAP!

Phoenix AZ

Description

Hi, I'm Ludacris (sociability with dogs unknown…would need to keep separate initially, with a SLOW introduction to dog in home). I am set to be euthanized May 17th, 8 am. Why am I E-listed? Like so many others, I’m REALLY STRESSED due to long periods of confinement and few opportunities for out-of-kennel time. It is no wonder that I am highly over-excited and jumping, barking, and lunging at the kennel door!! It is inhumane to keep me here in this condition!! Will you help save my life? YOU GOTTA COME N MEET ME! I am adorable in person!. I’m a 3-year-old, neutered, tan and white American Pitbull Terrier (58 lbs.) that came in as a stray with a "weird" story. I was brought to shelter by someone who said I bit him out of the blue?? When the shelter called to gather more information, the person hung up! hmmmm....Why would someone do that? I want you to know that I haven’t attempted to bite anyone here at the shelter. They LOVE ME here! I am fun in the play yard, relaxed around people, and I love to be petted! I like leaning into staff to be close. I chase after balls and “sit” for treats, although I’m still a little on the grabby side. Sadly, I struggle with shelter life. The vets here put me on medication to calm me down, but it's not working very well, and I'm still struggling. I need to get out and into a home before I “lose my mind”! The shelter recommends that I have an adopter who understands stressed dogs like me, that I meet the entire family, and that children in the home be older. I will need time to de-stress and would benefit from structure and a predictable routine. Going on walks and having play time will help me unwind. I can't imagine this is how it could end for me...I don’t want to die! Please come meet me!!! Love, Ludacris My ID is #A4725028. I’m located in Phoenix, AZ.
