Pit Bull Terrier - Tj - Medium - Young - Male - Dog

　　Hi! My name is TJ! I am a 13 month old male Lab/Pit Bull mix. My birthday is January 3rd. I live in a small house with my mom, but I am very much a family guy. I lived in a house with 4 kids and another dog when I was young and my mom thinks it is a better fit for me since I like to play A LOT! I use some of my energy up when I go to daycare on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but my mom finds it hard to play me with me for a long time on the other days since she works full time and goes to school. We usually go for long walks on the weekends though. My mom said that she will still pay my tuition at daycare if I come to live with your family since I have so much fun at daycare. I was named Dog of The Month in December!

　　I have all my shots and I'm healthy and I am very well behaved when I see my vet. I weigh almost 70 lbs. I do have allergies and my mom gives me Benadryl sometimes to help with that. That brown grass makes me a little itchy, but I love the green stuff. I also eat mostly grain-free dog food, but not so much that my mom goes broke feeding me. She just makes sure I eat right. I like baby carrots, watermelon, and my favorite snack is plain potato chips. I also brush my teeth a couple times a week so my teeth are very white and clean!

　　The girls at daycare tease me and call me a super model because I like to wear clothes and have very pretty eyes. I like to wear my matching shoes too, but they fall off when I start to run.

　　My favorite game is tugging on a rope with you. I also am very good at fetch, but sometimes I like to chew on the toy before I give it back. Since I am an only child I play alone with my toys a lot. I love chew toys, but I also have a very gentle side and have a whole collection of sock monkeys. I keep a few with me in my crate during the day when my mom is at work. I bring them outside with me one by one when I am playing on the patio.

　　I do not sleep in my crate at night because I am very good and have never done anything naughty during the night. Plus, i like to look out for my mom and let her know if someone is outside our house. My mom lets me stay out of my crate during the day if she leaves but not if she is going out for more than an hour. I chewed some shoes and stuff when I was worried she was never coming home. So, I get a treat and go right in the crate when she leaves for work!

　　There are some very important things you should know about me if you think you might like to adopt me.

　　- I love to play with kids, but I am not really familiar with babies.

　　- I am kind of afraid of cats. I see them around the neighborhood, but I don't think I want to live with one.

　　- I am afraid of the vacuum cleaner so please just let me go outside when you turn that thing on.

　　- I am very frightened by fireworks and thunder. I get anxiety, pace, and my mom builds me a fort in the bathroom and turns spa music on to block out the noise.

　　- Most importantly...I have only ever been treated with love i and listen to what I am told. I like to be hugged and love to cuddle and give kisses. I would love to have some boys to run with and look after. It would give me great purpose in my life to be a part of an active family.

　　- if you think I might fit in, but it doesn't work out for ANY REASON my mom sad that I will always be welcome to come home while we continue looking for my forever family.
