Gilbert (Bert)

American Pit Bull Terrier Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Pecos, NM
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Gilbert is approximately 6 years old and is an energetic and playful dog. He currently lives with his adopted sister Sullivan who is a similar age and size. Ideally, I would like to place them together as they are bonded. I am moving internationally. Bert frequently overwhelms new dogs with his desire to play rough. Once introduced, he gets along with other dogs but can be intimidating to smaller or submissive dogs. His idea of playing ball is to fetch, then play keep-away (or bury the ball). He is very athletic and loves long hikes. He keeps a close eye on what is happening, and loves to patrol the fence. When I adopted him 4 years ago, he had been in shelters for a while and was withdrawn and guarded. He is more outgoing now, but I expect him settle slowly in a new home. Unusually for a rescue dog, he seems to prefer men to women, although his heart can be won with treats from anyone. He knows "sit" and "get back from the door/gate," will "come" inconsistently. I

Story
MeiMei was found near death in the middle of no where. I decided to foster and help her recover. I've watched her become the sweetest most cuddly squish (she thinks she's a lap dog). She is now in full health, spayed, vaccinated and available for adoption! She is crate trained, leash trained, and knows a dozen commands. She's also amazing in the car! Mei Mei is eager to please and easily trainable. She is hilarious - her goofiness make me laugh everyday. She adores humans but is working on her reactivity with dogs (she's never bit one though!). She has walked happily alongside another dog after a 45 minute professional training session, so I know with more consistent practice, she will quickly improve. Ideally, MeiMei would have a home with more than one caretaker. Her remaining anxiety disappears when she gets plenty of exercise and time around people. She desperately needs a home, as she would be euthanized in a shelter due to her current dog-aggression, despite her great potential!
