Savannah

When I'm with my human family I love, love, love to snuggle up for pets and hugs. Nothing makes me happier than being with people and getting lots of love, and giving some in return.

I like to play with tennis balls, but would much rather be playing with other friendly dogs.

My favorite game with my canine friends is to play chace and roll around on the ground. I am super friendly with dogs and love to run around with them.

I've met kids as young as 6 and loved them. I'm a little on the shy side, but people of all ages really bring out the best in me.

Other types of animals I've met include cats and when I interact with them I am a little shy and won't approach. But since I'm new the program, please keep checking back or contact PBRSD for more info as my foster family gets to know me better.

In case youre wondering, I do ask to go out when I gotta go.

People tell me that Im more adoptable if I know things. So far I have mastered sit. The nice people at the animal shelter taught me this, and I really enjoy learning new things. I like to get yummy treats for doing good things, and getting lots of praise from people, so I will be lots of fun in training classes.

My foster family knows me pretty well and they think the perfect family for me would be one that has a fairly quiet home where I won't be stressed by lots of noise and activity. Since I'm a little on the shy side sometimes it takes a few minutes for me to warm up to people, but after that I love you! A am still a young adult with plenty of energy though, so regular walks is a must.

I'm fairly new to the program, so keep checking back for updates as my foster family gets to know me better, or better yet come meet me at ann upcoming adoption event!

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.
