Rehoming dog: American Pitbull terrier

Panama City FL

Description

Looking to rehome our 2 year old Rosie to a loving family. Rosie is spayed, updated on her shots as of this year, and is house-trained. She's crate-trained if needed, large crate preferred, and can sleep overnight in one. She is also fine with being given free access around the house. Throughout the time we've spent with her she has not tore up anything (other than her toys). There aren't any major medical issues to have to worry about. Rosie is fine getting in and out of a tub. The only hygienic issue Rosie has is that she doesn't let trimming go easy and will get spooked if you try to use normal clippers on her, so her claws are a bit on the longer side. Unfortunately due to financial issues we haven't been able to seek out a professional groomer. She is not aggressive (with food, toys) and loooves to play with anyone, even new guests--she loves new people, but occasionally will jump up out of excitement. Rosie grew up with cats and children. She does however have an issue with chasing the 5 cats we have, always thinking they are into the type of play she is into. She has a control problem when it comes to chasing if another animal/person runs in her sight. She's seen other dogs, but has only had one personal playmate (Male, Boston Terrier) and is more into hyper play. A yard is preferred. We're not sure how she will clash with other dog personalities. So a home where she'll either have another playmate her size and a yard or one with no other pets may be best for her. She knows basic tricks such as sit, lay down, rollover, shake, and spin. She still has that high puppy energy in her and containing that has been a challenge for her. Past vet visits have made Rosie react startled when she realizes she has to get into a vehicle but with some reassurance we believe she could make a nice backseat partner. We got Rosie a while back from a family that we worried wouldn't give her the best life as a puppy so we got her out of there on a whim, and due to personal issues within the family and additional pets we've had before her--we can't give her the time that a dog truly deserves. We really would love for her to go to a family that's willing to give her a chance and be able to put time into her needs. Her rehoming FEE is $75 but we're willing to negotiate. She will come with her harness, collar, L crate and bowls if needed. If you'd like to do a meet with Rosie to see if she's a good match for you/other pets we can discuss time and location. There may need to be some distance at first with another dog just to test the waters. If there are any other questions you have regarding Rosie you can ask via email and until it's made sure that a meet-up is certain to happen I can give out a phone number. NOT at all a scam and please ONLY contact about serious inquiries.
