TILLITO - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Tillito's spent 2 1/2 years at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. On July 12, 2017 his family left him, a friendly family dog who no longer was a part of their family. He was attacked a couple times while in their play yard, so now he is scared of other dogs.October 25, 2019 DIRT took him in to be fostered. His foster family has been given him the time he needs to be ready for his forever family and feels he is ready for the right home. Tillito mostly takes time to feel comfortable with strangers. The more he is ignored the faster he wants to be your friend. He is not good with small children, as they scare him. He needs to be with a family who is pitbull savvy and will give him the time and space he needs to feel safe. He is house and crate trained. He sleeps in his crate at night. I will ask ready for nite nite he goes out for his bathroom needs then comes in and goes right into his room as I call it. Poor guy is so misunderstood when he is ready he is the most affectionate guy. When he is asleep just make sure you call his name before touching him or he gets scared he might snap but he has never tried to bite me I just say no and he's good. He just needs to clear his sleep fogged brain to know he is safe. ◇12 1/2 old year low rider ◇ Sits politely for treats and dinner ◇ Loves to hangout with his people ◇ Loves walks and car rides ◇ Loves massages and brushes with. soft bristle brush ◇ Healthy old gentleman He will greet you when you come home with a toy, bone or whatever ever he can show off to you. He really is a special boy. The right home won't be put off by him being scared at first because when he finally loves you watch out he just transforms into a love bug. He needs to be in a forever home.
