GRUNT

Shelter ID: 105753 neutered male,  8 yrs, 85 lbs

Description: Grunt is an EXTREMELY quiet and calm American Pitbull Terrier mix who weighs a hefty 85 lbs (ideal being closer to 80 lbs likely) and is believed to be 8 years of age. Grunt warm up very quickly with soft words and gentle pets. Shelter life is pretty overwhelming for Grunt. He can't wait for you to see him outside of his kennel so that you can see who he really is! He loves spending time in offices where he curls up in beds and self-entertains on available toys. Grunt would really love a new home that is going to include him in the family. He may enjoy a more low-key, calm household that won't expect him to run and hike, but have some lazy cuddle fests and moments to gently chew on his soft rubber toys!

1) Grunt may do great for a first time dog owner! His new owner will need to be dedicated to his continued weight loss goals with controlled amounts of skin supportive food and frequent short walks or other low impact physical activity.

2) We do not know how Grunt would act towards cats or small animals. Please be sure to discuss proper introductions with your adoption counselor if you have small animals living in the house to make sure they can be good housemates!

3) Due to his size and initial reservations at new and loud situations, Grunt would likely do best in a home with children that are 13 years of age or older.

4) Grunt has a fairly dry haircoat and was healing from some sores in between his toes and pads of his feet when he came in to the shelter. All of this is resolving nicely with medications. We anticipate that he will need to be maintained on a commercial skin friendly food +/- a skin supportive supplement. He does not seem itchy nor is is needing actual allergy meds at this time.
