Compatibility: Good with Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy 
Health: Vaccinations Current, Aggressive 

    Harper is a 5 year old black Pitbull/Lab cross, looking more Pitty than lab. He was a surrender due to bite history and actually was brought in to be euthanized but the doctors here said to give him a chance. Harper was never properly socialized, trained, nor secured. He is reactionary and will agress back at dogs, therefore is labeled Dog agressive. He has no contact with cats. He is great with our staff whom he is used to. He can act pretty protective of our female staff. He loves treats, playing in the yard and tearing the squeaky out of his toys!! He is a good boy who needs someone who understands Pit breeds and can take the time and ... (Read More)give the attention to make him an all round super dog. No kids here so don't know how is is with them. He doesn't like to be grabbed by strangers (bite history) but will wrestle with us! He is learning basic obedience. If anybody out there can give him a permanent home please contact us ASAP. Please pass the word! (Less)

Rescue Me ID: 12-01-04-00223Bentley (male)

Pit Bull    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Not Good w/ Other Dogs, Not Good w/ Cats, Good w/ Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Very Dominant 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    Bentley's favorite thing to do is cuddle up with you on the couch. It breaks our hearts to have to find a new home for him, but unfortunetly him and our older dog just can't seem to get along. We feel he would be the happiest in a home without other pets and children so he can get all of the attention. Because that is all he wants is your love and attention. Bentley loves toys and to play tug. He enjoys pretty much anything just as long as hes being loved.

    My son is moving from Montana to Portland. He has a wonderful mid-sized male pit mix called Ty. He just loves attention and pleasing people. He has not been around kids but is good with people. Can anyone out there provide a foster home for him for a few weeks/month until our son finds a place of his own? He will be living with us and we have three female dogs in a townhouse. Adding a fourth dog, a male, would just not be healthy for any of them....

PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Maine
    Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Maine if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.

lnteresting Pit Bull Trivia Low-Cost Maine Spay & Neuter Clinics
    Some people believe that Pit Bulls are identical to what Bulldogs were in the past. Teddy Roosevelt owned Pit Bulls. A disproportionate number of Pit Bulls are put down in major American cities each year.
