This one is really special!

Our Rescue Dog of the Week:
Sadly, this is Daisy Mae's second go around here as RDOTW on StubbyDog. She was adopted and brought back, so once again, this pretty girl is looking for a great home!

Hello all! My name is Daisy Mae! I'm a 2 year young puppy, and I love, love to play! I live in NYC and I love to shop! The only thing I love more than shopping and getting my nails done, is kids...I LOVE children, they smell so good I could kiss and cuddle with them all day! I enjoy laying out by the pool and going for the occasional dip in my kiddie pool that my foster mom has for me. I'm house trained and I even know how to use a doggie-door. If you don't have one, no worries, I can hold it :) I'm a petite pitty weighing only 43lbs (although a true lady never should tell!) I'm so lucky, my foster mom even lets me go to this giant park with tons of other dogs, I love to meet and play with all of them. My favorite thing is to make them chase me! I love where I am staying, but my foster mom says I need to find my fur-ever home so she can save my friends back at the shelter, so off I go! Let the bidding begin! ;)

If you are interested in adopting me, PLEASE contact my rescue group, Posh Pets Rescue (http://poshpetsrescue.org/)



Here is her story and picture on our Facebook page :)

Hopefully together we can find this beautiful little girl and forever home!

that is a very lovely story and so well thought out and put together but we on this site do not promote letting APBT or "pit bulls" run in dog parks it's not only irresponsable but bad for the breed as a whole or breeds in this case. And with this dog being 2 now that's usually when the breed matures and can develop DA. I understand the dog loves the dog park and other dogs now but all it takes is one second for a fight to break out and well lets face it the "pits" are always the one to be blamed and we have enough BSL to fight already. I do not mean to come off harsh or rude cause that's just now how I do things and appreciate all that you do with rescues just wanted to point out to any newbies reading this that dog parks should be a no go with this breed.

Thank You

Dear Stubby Dog,

While we are glad to have you post here and are pleased that you take such an interest in helping the dogs, many of us do not feel this breed needs to be running loose in dog parks, possibly setting them up to fail. To advocate doing so denies the history of the breed and gives people false expectations of the dogs in terms of dog aggression. There are many other activities owners can get involved in with their dogs and have a much more bonding and rewarding experience than to let them run loose with other dogs.

APBT running lose in a dog park, not a great idea. It only takes a second for something to happen and the APBT is always to blame. Just brings more negative attention when it can easily be avoided.

[StubbyDog]

As I agree with you guys to a point. That is just something that this particular dogs foster mom allows. We are trying to find a permanent home for this loveable pup. If you would like to leave a comment on Daisy's story on our facebook page AND here encouraging any possible new parents not to bring this dog to the dog park. Please feel free to do so. Just make sure you try to stay mutual and please say why you feel that is a bad idea :)

Thank you guys for reading!!

good suggestion I may stop by the facebook page today and add my 2 cents however I will have to ask that for future posts please do leave out the part where the dogs are allowed at the dog park thank you! Keep up the good fight!!!!!!:D

Even better the person giving the dog to the adopter/foster should explain the ramifications that could happen from such decisions.

Educate them (if needed) on how to own and handle an APBT. Explain to them the difference between this breed and every other breed out there. And how this breed is special. This will make for happier adopters and dogs.

We can't set novice owners up for failure. As it affects us all, owners and dogs alike.

Maybe this is already being done, and the new owner/foster thought it would be ok any way. I don't know. But if it's not standard procedure it should be.

Thanks.

which was going to be my next suggestion you beat me to it kev!!!!!!

[OldfortKennels]

I want to give you a big applause for not getting offended and going off the deep end. Some times it is not easy to take constructive critisim. I like the way you handled the advice given. Kudos to you! A closed mind never learns anything.

[sw_df27]

Yes of course thank you from the entire site for not taking offence to this and blowing up on us!!!!!!
