SLEEPY - PIT BULL TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Meet Sleepy! Sleepy was surrendered with Dopey (also available for adoption) by their owner to South LA Shelter and quickly became at risk due to how crowded the shelter was. We scooped them up on October 5th! Sleepy is 9 years old and weighs 64 lbs. He is very friendly and does great in a play group with Dopey and other dogs. Be sure to watch the cute video of Sleepy playing with his fellow Frosted Face Dingo! Sleepy loves going on our weekly Sunday hikes and rides nicely in the car. He has been an ambassador for FFF at several community events, most recently at a local Barnes & Noble! He loves interacting with people of all ages and is very gentle with children. Sleepy is a total love sponge, soaking up every ounce of attention, pets, and cuddles! He is calm and mellow at events, even with all the activity going on around him. Sleepy went on a two-week fling, we learned a lot about him. His Fling Mom reports: “Sleepy was excellent with our dogs. He integrated immediately, ate and slept near them, played (short bursts!) with them, and really looked to them for guidance the first few days. He has zero guarding - from humans or other dogs. He ate just a few feet away from our dogs, and when I had to touch or pick up his bowl he was okay with that. Sleepy was not a big morning guy - we wake up early (5AM) - he wou ld get up with us but instead of eating like the other dogs he would go back to bed and then be ready for breakfast around 7! He is definitely house trained. Sleepy’s arthritis keeps his walks to about two blocks. He met lots of humans on our short walks because we live in a busy area. He was friendly and sweet with all humans, children, and even a toddler. He greeted with hand sniffs and the most adorable low wagging tail. Sleepy was absolutely fine being left home alone both free roaming and in the crate. We gave him food dispensing toys (lickimat or a toppl - kongs were too hard) and he loved them and was sleeping by the time we got back each time. SLEEPY IS SUCH A GREAT DOG! I hope he gets a forever home soon."
