Due to current travel restrictions there may be a long delay before I can get to you. Please only apply for me if you are willing to wait. King Arthur Breed: Pitbull terrier mix Age: 6 yrs Gender: M, neutered Wgt/Hgt: 47 lbs / 26 inches tall Energy level: Average. Medium-high (when playing) Relations: Good with dogs after intro/good with teens, kids (see policy)/Not best with cats Highlights: sweet, smoochy, good walking on leash, rides well in car, loves to play ball and go for walks, house trained Region: Mexico Honoring my name, and as the truthful king of smoochies, I’m looking for my knights to spend the rest of my life with. If you’re up for becoming a part of the Pittie round table, I’m your perfect match! I am a sweet boy who is super handsome, calm and well-adjusted to being around people. Found on the streets of Mexico wandering around; it seemed as if I hadn’t been abandoned for very long. I almost got ran over by a truck, but my rescuer managed to get me out of the avenue, safe and sound. it's unknown how I ended up on the streets. My rescuer and her family took me in, to keep me safe. Apparently, my looks could have put me in danger in my country. Car travel experience must have been in my past, as I had no issues all the way to the vet for a check. The doctor said I was fit as a fiddle, and after a few days, I got neutered, vaccinated and dewormed (not my favorite moment, to be honest). Since then, my rescuer has cared for me, along with an especially sweet 14 year old guy with whom I spend the most time. I can get a little anxious when “my" person leaves and will softly whine. https://youtu.be/939J5WPyZe4. I don’t care much for large crowds though and feel a bit stressed at that time. My caretakers say that I’m the smoochiest dog ever, a good kiss is all it takes for me to be ever affectionate and just overall happy. Listening is one of my strongest suits, so you can always count on me for that. I love sausages, so they’d do the trick if you want to train me. I can be a little stubborn at first (I’m a king) but I learn pretty fast, so I’ll pick up the commands. https://youtu.be/2r8GFznskqo. I always have a great time exercising, but I know how to walk calmly on a leash and pretty well ignore most everything. https://youtu.be/S5p7IPOBrvQ. Of course when I'm with my friend, Jason (the white Pittie), and we see the kids we know coming towards us, well... we get excited and pull to reach them. Ha https://youtu.be/64QNpG2UN8k. I’m smart, obedient, clean, and house trained. Yea. I like other dog’s company, but I think I will do best as the only one in the house. I sometimes move forward and growl at other dogs when they get too close. With a couple meetings though, I usually become friends. I don’t like sharing my toys with other dogs when playing though. https://youtu.be/IxHbYTo5rj0. I have been around a couple of young children and it went well. I just think I might be a little strong to hang out with them often, but I definitely get along with teenagers. They’re my fav! Not usually many problems with cats, I've been hanging around them lately. You can be sure that my years in this world have made me a true gentleman, emphasis on the gentle part! I don’t know why, but recently I’ve started to bark at many things while in my crate. I'm typically not much of a barker. I just want to be part of a family, where I can hang out with you. I enjoy any kinds of activity with my human knights, whether it be relaxing after a long day, or racing around together in the morning. My energy level depends on what I’m doing, so I can be pretty relaxed while watching a movie or pretty energetic while playing ball (I love it!). I’m a very adaptable guy. A back yard with a tall fence (since I know how to jump quite high when playing ball– yes, I am quite athletic) would be nice (I'm not kn ki an to jump unless asked or playing though), but I also like going out for walks to enjoy the air and the view. I look forward to starting a new life in Canada and will be sure to bring lots of love and fun to my new home! I have been neutered and vaccinated. My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD, this includes my airfare if a flight volunteer is found direct to Vancouver. Due to the ever-changing extenuating circumstances brought on by the Global Pandemic, we are struggling to transport dogs to Canada. Please note that additional fees may apply (beyond the adoption fee) in order to get your dog to you. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs and will ask for your approval before any travel arrangements are made. The following are some examples of possible, non refundable, additional costs (note, these are estimates only and are subject to change): For USA/Canada border transfer (via a Brokerage Company): $370 weekdays. Two dogs crossing, $270 per dog. Three dogs, $215 per dog. Four dogs, $190 per dog. Prices are higher on the weekend. Unaccompanied Cargo costs within Canada: $275-$475 per dog.
