Celia (aka CC)

When I'm with my human family I am very sweet and cuddly! I am a great listener and I am very patient when it comes to the two year who lives in my house.

I love to play with anything I can find!!

I make my family laugh when I refuse to lay on the ground, I will search and search until I find something soft t lay on, and I always try to sneak on the couch or bed.

My favorite game with my canine friends is rough-housing, I can be very bossy so I would do better with a dog who will teach me some Canine manners.

I live with kids that are 2 and 10. I've met kids as young as 1 and i do very good with them. The two year old who I live with loves to lay on me and try to color me, she also likes to take things out of my mouth (even though her parents are trying to teach her not to do that) I am very patient and gentle with her.

Other types of animals I've met include my foster families cat and when I interact with her I chase her into corners and try to play with her like another dog. My foster family believes I should go to a home that either does not have a cat, or has a very dog savvy cat because I will chase them.

Trust me, I'm working on the potty thing., I do very well in a crate.

People tell me that Im more adoptable if I know things. Here are the commands that I've already learned - sit, gentle, down, no, and go to the door when I have to go outside.

My foster family knows me pretty well and they think the perfect family for me would be one that will spoil me because I totally deserve it and I am too cute to resist.

Note about puppies: Many people want to adopt pit bull puppies because they feel that, by adopting them younger, there is less chance that they will be aggressive as they get older. While human aggression is not a predisposed standard trait of this breed, a very real likelihood of maturing into canine aggression does exist. Good socialization will certainly help with the aggression that any unsocialized breed might have as they get older. This aggression can be bourne from the fear of the unknown and socialization early and often is the best solution to this. Unfortunately, there is also a component of some pit bulls that is a genetic canine aggression (aggression towards other dogs). This cannot be socialized out and generally does not manifest itself until they reach maturity, which can be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years of age. If you are adopting a puppy to include into a multi-dog family, be aware that, through no fault of his own, this puppy can mature into a dog that might be unpredictable with the other dogs in your family and out in the world. This is not a certainty by any means but something that a responsible pit bull owner should know and be aware of.

Please note that Pit Bull Rescue San Diego does not adopt on a first come first served basis. Generally we have formed an opinion about the sort of home that we want for each of the dogs in our program. This opinion is formed from knowing each dog and observing their interactions in various situations and through periodic evaluations. Our goal is to place our charges in the home that is the best possible for that particular dog. Our only goal is happiness and forever homes for our dogs. A forever home is most likely to happen when we do the best we can to find lifestyles and personalities that match.

We are aware that this is a human process and that you may or may not agree with our decisions. Please understand that we take very seriously the lives placed in our hands for this brief time and our decisions are only made out of protectiveness for the breed and the specific dogs we are placing and not out of any judgment of you or your life.
