I am surprised you didn't keep him.

Believe me, I wanted to. I just travel too much for work. For instance, this month, I leave on the 6th, return on the 11th. Then I leave again on the 17th, and return on the 22nd. It wouldn't be fair to him to be boarded all the time.

Anyway......

I found him a good home. I met up with a couple last night that have a 1 yr old pit, and 5 acres of fenced in land out near Marysville. They also have a couple barns and horses. We let both dogs meet and they interacted very well. They said they will send me pictures and also invited me out to their place to see him, whenever I want. I will take them up on their offer because I want to make sure they have what they say they have and want to make sure he is happy.

I also told them that if for any reason, they don't feel it is working out, that I would be more than happy to take him back to foster him until I can find him another home.

I already miss the little guy. It's crazy how you can become so attached in just 3 days.

I am not saying he will. What I am saying is that if the owners didn't care enough to properly supervise him or take the apprpriate measures to ensure if something did happen he could easily be returned, they have lost their right to own that dog.

I agree.

He was probably beat, either by a person or another dog.

I seriously doubt it. He has not acted vicious towards anyone he's met or any of the animals at the vet this morning. I would think that a dog who has been mistreated by humans or other animals, would be really afraid of them.

I could be wrong though.

But just from his behavior and everything, I would guess the owners could no longer afford him and couldn't get anyone to take him, so they went for a drive out to the country.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep about the owners looking for him. He should have been chipped and had had his tags on him and supervised. Dog can't run away if it is being adequately supervised and won't run away if properly trained.

This particular dog doesn't act like a dog that would run away. He has been at my house since 11:30pm Monday night without a collar or anything. I haven't tied him up or put him in the house at all. He has been 100% outside this entire time, day and night, and chooses not to leave.

Is he neutred? How do his toennails trimmed?

The pics of him, do look a bit skinny, so he probably was a drop off, But he has his ears, which seems odd for a "full" apbt.

 

Im still concerned this is someones dog who got out. He

 

 

Also have you posted him on PetFBI.com?

He is not neutered.

His toenails appear to have been trimmed not too long ago.

He has a tail.

He was kinda skinny, but couldn't exactly see his bones. I noticed this morning that he's already looking better in the mid-section.

I have posted him on CL, Petfbi.org, and called and emailed several rescue places around Columbus. All of them are full.

Damn, glad you went though.

Yeah, I feel better knowing that I tried, instead of just giving him to someone else first.

However, now it just makes it that much more difficult to give him up. I really really wish I didn't have to. But with my work schedule, it wouldn't be fair to him. He is such a loving and caring dog that he needs a family that can give him all the attention he can handle.

is he still at your place?

Yes.

Does he look like he'd be a good fighter? I could take him if you think he could be a trained killer.

Nah. He's too affectionate for that.

since when did being a male nurse turn so hardcore?? daaaamn son

When Gaylord Focker stood up to his fiancee's dad.

Hey I just talked to my friend, she is not goin to be able to take him. I thought I had him a perfect home but she is unable to take on another dog. So someone please get this dog a good home if Mike is unable to. Pits are the best dogs with them being extremely loyal and very affectionate to whoever takes them in. Mike good luck, I hope you able to keep him somehow and make it work. I know you wont regret it.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know.

I can see if my gf can "borrow" the scanner from her clinic and could possibly swing by your place tonight on her way home (she works in lancaster, lives with me in blacklick). I'll PM you after i talk to her

PM'ing you.

Why have you not taken him to get scanned yet? People put chips in their dogs for this reason. Just an FYI, if you were to keep him and took him to the vet and they scanned him, you do realize that they HAVE to take the dog from you and contact the owners and can only release the dog to them.

I wanted to make sure he was cool with me and wouldn't attack me before I tried to put him in my truck. By the time I made sure he was comfortable with me, it was time for me to go to work.

If I still have him in the morning, I will take him then.

Here's a couple pics of the little guy.

Dude I will come get him if you dont want him. I love pits. It always seems like these dogs are getting dicked over past owners. There is alittle thing to know about them as they have big hearts, I am sure from the details you are telling me that he will not harm you in anyway. He prolly is looking for help and he will not bite the hand that feeds him, trust me.

It's not that I don't WANT him. I do. I just can't keep him. I travel too much for work. You know where I live. He's here. I have to leave for work soon. My neighbor is going to look over here throughout the day to make sure he's ok. If you can pick him up today, that would be awesome. Just call me before you come out so that I can let my neighbor know you are picking him up. I'll pm you.

waiting on reply from my rescue...i should see something soon.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Sending you a pm.
