Lab/Pit Mix needs Adopter/Foster ASAP - to be euthanized 5-26!

Phoenix AZ

Description

Hi, I'm Frodo (I am dog friendly!) I’m set to be euthanized May 26th 8 am. Why am I E-listed? I’m STRESSED and STRUGGLING from living in this kennel and I bark to much to the point of being hoarse, but when I am out I am one chill dude! sadly though, It is inhumane to keep me here! Will you help save my life? They don't come any calmer than me! I’m a 4-year-old, neutered, brown American Pit Bull Terrier/lab mix (88 lbs.). I am a bit chubby as you can see! I came to the shelter as a stray the first time and the 2nd time I was returned because I barked...um that's what dogs do!! I probably needed more time to understand where I was....geez people don't give up on us dogs so easily! I’m proud to report that my overall shelter score says I’m an EASY dog!! I am calm, gentle and affectionate with a “touch” of shy/timid. When I feel comfortable with someone, I lean in to get pets. I appear to be housebroken, will “sit” for treats and take them gently. I am well-behaved around other dogs at the shelter. When out on a walk, I sometimes get a little overwhelmed by all that is going on in the environment and may put the “brakes on”. I haven’t had a current dog-to-dog assessment; but when I was assessed during my 2019 stay, I was reported to be tolerant of other dogs and had a “gentle/dainty play style. After over a month at this place I am frustrated and struggling BAD!! I need to get out ASAP!! The shelter recommends that I meet the entire family before leaving and that children in the home be older. I will need time to decompress and relax and get to know everyone. If you are looking for a gentle, calm dog, that’s me!! Please come meet me before it is too late!! I don’t want to die! I am a GOOD boy! The shelter has been killing adoptable dogs lately! Please don't let me be the next one! Love, Frodo Fill out form and call ASAP if interested in adopting or fostering me. https://www.thedogsavers.org/apply-to-adopt/. My ID is #A4285567.
