Hello! My name is Pistol Pete! I am seven years old, but my foster mom says I sure don't act like it! Wanna know how I came by the "Pistol" part of my name? Well, when I first came to BBR, I could be a pistol if you tried to take my toys or my blanket away from me; I might growl or even nip at you, if you tried to touch my toys. My foster mom says its probably cuz when I was at the Shelter, somebody kept taking my toys away from me. I was just afraid of a lot of things; I was afraid that someone would take my blanket and my toys, afraid of having my skin folds and my ears cleaned - why, I was even afraid that I wouldn't get enough to eat!! My foster mom says that is why I eat my food too fast; I don't mean to, but sometimes i eat so fast that I get sick. So, now my foster mom feeds me half of my food at a time, to help me learn to slow down. I have a lot to be proud of, besides being a pretty handsome guy - - I have never had an accident in my crate or in the house; I even let my mom know that I have to go outside by going to the door! I have gotten to be really good about having my folds and ears cleaned ( especially if I get treats!), I am fine with being crated when I am by myself - and I can be ok for up to 8 hours with no accidents! I like to be in the same place as my foster family, but I don't need to be the center of attention all the time. I am getting really good at playing games, and one of my favorites is Tug O War! The thing I love most in the world, is to have my chin rubbed. And if you are going to rub my chin, I am hoping you will throw in a belly rub too!! You might be wondering how I do with other dogs or cats; I am an "only fur-kid" at my foster mom's, and there are no dogs nearby, so my foster mom doesn't know how I might be with other dogs. I think it would be best if I was an "only dog" since I didn’t love other dogs at the shelter. My ideal home will be with a family who will be extra patient and extra gentle with me, so that I can get better at trusting and being comfortable in my own surroundings. Bc of my quirks, a home without kids of any age and who has prior bully breed experience is preferred I could be the dog you have been waiting for - I am right here, waiting for you!! Love, Your Pete (formerly known as "Pistol Pete") Prior to applying to adopt Pistol Pete please review our adoption process on our website with rules and process information.
