Kiwi - A731629 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Kiwi is a 2 year and 6 month old American Pit Bull Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care and Control Center in NYC since 9/28/07.

Kiwi is a very strong dog. He is also a dominant dog. There's no question about that. He did pull a lot and when we sat down to rest he wasn't interested in cuddling. It was all about sniffing and pooping for him. But, nevertheless, I enjoyed my time with him as I do all of them. I can appreciate his dominance and confidence in himself.

When we brought him back in, we passed by this other dogs cage and the other dog went nuts. After being in their cages for a long time, some dogs will develop "cage aggression," which this dog did. He barked and growled at Kiwi but Kiwi paid him no mind. The other dog was persistent, so Kiwi started to bark and growl back. It was a little scary but we managed to pull Kiwi away. Not that anything could happen through the bars, but still....

The good thing is that Kiwi didn't start a thing. He needs a strong owner, a dominant owner, more dominant than him, and definitely one that can handle his strength.

LLama - A731433 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Llama is a 1 year and 6 month old American Pit Bull Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/27/07.

What a beautiful dog Llama is.... Pits are just amazing to me :)

Anyway, Llama did have a pulling problem. He took control the minute he left his cage, but it was amazing how once he was shown that we were the leaders and not him, he quickly stepped in line. It was all a matter of a little tug and nudge here and there. He even wanted to be cuddled after that. Before, he could care less :)

Llama needs a safe and loving home.

King - A731881 - Harrier Mix

King is a 1 year old Harrier Mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/29/07.

Okay, I don't usually take out any other dog unless it's a pit but..... King needed to get out. He had an incredible amount of energy. He jumped off the ground several times. He is very hyper but it's nothing a good old fashion belly rub can't solve :) After a few rounds around the roof, he mellowed out. Thank goodness... for us !

The owners gave him up after 3 days! What???? They said they had no time. Shouldn't they have known they didn't have time for a dog in the first place?? I know, I can go on and on but that would take away from King.

King needs a home that can give him lots of exercise.

Browny - A731706 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Browny is a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/28/07.

Browny is a beautiful dog. Aren't they all? He was a real whiner in his cage, so we took him out right away. He has such a cute whine :) These dogs are so smart.

Anyway, Browny is a very confident dog. He likes to do his own thing and he does pull the leash a bit. He will, though, like any intelligent dog, be patient and stop for a tasty treat.

Browny was a joy to be with today and is looking for a safe and loving home.

Hubert - A730408 - Pit Bull

Hubert is a 2 year old pit bull. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/20/07.

Hubert was very timid in his cage. He was shaking and growled at me. I sat down and gave him my back to sniff. He stretched his head as far as possible in order to sniff me. He wouldn't move his feet. He then went back to where he was laying down. I looked at him and he decided to come towards me again. He put his nose between the bars and kissed me. I then took him out and guess what? That big bugger took me for a ride. Boy is he fast, he pulled and pulled and ran and ran :)

Once outside he was so happy. He reminded me of Daddy from Cesar's pack in the way that he walked. He's so big, he waddles :) He's a true love bug and I am so happy I spent time with him today. Although he is sick (his stool was all blood) he was as jolly as could be and as playful as any other dog.

Annie - A730631 - Pit Bull

Annie is a 1 year old pit bull. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/22/07.

Annie is an incredible little dog. She jumped and whined in her cage for attention and of course I had to take her out. She is so cute. She walked so easily by my side and when I let go of the leash she ran for it. She galloped and spun around and jumped for joy. She was FREE!

I played ball with her. I threw it in the air and she jumped and caught it. She would bring it back and put it down. When I would try and take it she would hit it with her paw. There was no aggression. She wanted me to take it so I could throw it again.

When I went to wash the ball with the hose she would try and drink the water. It would splash her and she would perk her ears with curiousity.

She's amazing and is looking for her forever home.

Molly - A730648 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Molly is a 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/22/07

Molly is a great dog. She walked by my side without any hassle. I let go of the leash and she continued to follow me. She loves treats. She needs to be taught how to sit for them though. She just helped herself to them :)

Mr. - A728290 - Pit bull

Mr. is a pit bull. His age is unknown. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/12/07.

Mr. is such a wonderful dog. I saw a note on his kennel that said he was adopted. Let's hope it goes through. Still, this little gem was wonderful to be with. He loves treats, knows how to sit and enjoys drinking water from the hose. He's very playful and loves to give hugs and kisses :)

Rider - A729667 - American Staffordshire Terrier

Rider is a 6 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/16/07.

Rider was extremely sick. He kept heaving and sneezing. I'm sure he was grateful to be outdoors, smelling the fresh air.

I let go of the leash and he did his own thing. He gave me the impression that he is use to being on his own. He's definitely not a follower. It took him a long while to even want to come look for me. Nonetheless, Rider is an amazing dog and I enjoyed my time with him.

Jerry - A728834 - Pit Bull Mix

Jerry is a 3 year old pit bull mix. He has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/11/07.

Jerry was a seeing eye dog and was found as a stray.

He was a wonderful dog to say the least. He walked immediately by my side without any fuss. We did have a stand off though. I let go of the leash and walked off and he didn't follow. I guess being a seeing eye dog maybe he should be in charge, not sure how that works. Anyway, when I realized he wasn't following me, I turned back and called for him, but he just sat there. We stood facing each other for a while and then I decided to go about my business. And who should come following me shortly after, yep, Jerry. That was easy!

Ramona - A728698 - American Pit Bull Terrier

Ramona is a 1 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. She has been at the Animal Care & Control Center in NYC since 9/10/07.

Ramona is beautiful!!!! I absolutely loved this dog. Of course, she pulled me for a while but eventually we got into a pack mode and walked together. She befriended one of the staff members while on our journey. She loves to chew on things. She practically ate the arm of the wooden chair and then she started on the table.

After a while I let go of the leash and she was as free as a bird. She galloped and soared and jumped and played. She followed my every move. What a wonderful pittie! It was very difficult to put her back but....
