Seymour

American Pit Bull Terrier Boxer

Male, Puppy

National City, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Seymour was adopted at the Portland Humane Society. His birthday is 1/4/24, making him a little over 13mos old. Unfortunately since moving, my living circumstances have not allowed me to keep him. He is very loving, playful, attentive and loves people and other dogs. He grew up with a cat and was always very good with her. He does not have much experience around children however, when he has been around them he was very gentle. He loves the outdoors and loves going to the beach/lake (likes to swim and catch sticks in the water) and he also enjoys hiking. He is not very picky when it comes to food but some foods do give him dry skin (I'm unsure of exactly what the allergy is to that.) If you're looking for a lover boy or a pup who loves adventure, he is most definitely the catch for you. He adds a lot of love wherever he goes.

Good with dogs,

Story

Luka is a healthy 3 year old Pitbull. He is very active and has a lot of love to give. My father got him when he was a puppy from a family that could no longer keep them in their apartment. My father, the main owner's health is declining and I am physically disabled, and am a wheelchair user, so we are unable to keep him. He does need house training, but he follows simple commands well. He is friendly with dogs in general but can play too rough with other dogs his size. He has a quirky and fun personality and loves to lean his upper body on everything. He's been an outside dog and usually uses the bathroom whenever he is taken out on a walk. For toys and treats, he doesn't have any specific tastes; he will play with and eat whatever you give him. For brand new people/strangers, he can react very energetically and will try to jump on and lick them.

Bonnie was discovered chained to a fence in Tijuana. As result of this neglect, she suffered from injuries and pressure sores. Her mouth was severely infected, and she was shamefully undernourished. We had her evaluated by one of our veterinarian partners who provided the initial care required to improve her health and wellbeing. She was fostered in Tijuana by the same veterinarian, under close supervision, until she was well enough to come to her foster in the San Diego. She is excellent with other dogs, cats, and people. She is beyond sweet despite her start in life. She is looking for a furever home who will shower her with kindness and love! ##1866223##

Story

My journey began several years ago when I was running scared. I covered a lot of ground, hopped some freeways, visited a university and jumped into a yard where someone ignored me until I could be caught. I was scared and scarred. My skin showed years of neglect with flea rash and irritation. I was underweight and terrified of being touched or around people. No one came for me at the shelter and I was doomed to death. Once exited by my capture team, It did not take long before I realized my life had changed and people meant food, massage and toys. I have spent the last FOUR years living in a kennel at the rescue facility. I am not good with dogs but am now great with people, adventures outdoors, on leash AND house trained. No longer a youngster, I am now a senior girl. I would love nothing more than to find a place to enjoy the creature comforts in a foster or adoptive home rather than limited time with volunteers and at rescue outings. Could that be you? Things to know about me - - I am the resident toy hoarder of the house. I patiently wait for all of the Nylabones to be hosed into my kennel during cleaning, so I can play with them all -food puzzle PRO! -don’t let the age fool you, this girl has energy for days! -walks well on leash, until a lizard or animal walks by then off to the races I go!

Ivy - Courtesy Post

Boxer

Female

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ivy is a Courtesy Post Only and is not a Second Chance Dog Rescue dog. SCDR is not responsible for any ownership, behavior, health, and representations made by the owner with respect to this dog. You must contact her adoption coordinator Ana at Ana@thriveanimalrescue.com for further information. Ivy is a sweet, silly, cuddly, and affectionate girl - as of September 2024, she has been with us waiting for her forever family for over 456 days which is mind-blowing to staff at Thrive because of how great of a dog she is. Let's prioritize giving this lovebug a much deserved home for her to call her own!! Personality : She is a medium to high energy dog who loves to play - she enjoys mental and physical stimulation such as going for hikes or long walks/runs. She loves playing with other dogs and her people friends, but then she’s happy to relax and sunbathe in the yard after to decompress. Her favorite move is to flop on her back and show you her belly to ask for rubs :) Her Boxer zoomies will make you laugh! Training : Ivy has been going to doggie day care multiple times per week to hang out with all of her dog friends and has been doing great!! Despite her roughhousing playstyle with other large dogs, she is extremely gentle with puppies. She walks nicely on a leash and knows basic commands. Ivy is on a special low-fat diet and we recommend that adopters keep her on this upon adoption to ensure she’s in tip-top health. The perfect forever family : She would do great in an active household with a young couple who loves to hike or go on adventures, and is good with kids 13+. She would likely love another active doggie friend. Ivy is available for a long-term committed foster or forever family. For further information or to meet Ivy, please contact Ana, Adoption Coordinator at Ana@thriveanimalrescue.com. December 10, 2024, 4:48 pm
