Pit Bull Terrier

AJ is a beautiful reddish/fawn boy with gorgeous green eyes! AJ is about 1 year old but small for his age as he had very poor nutrition and was quite malnourished.

He is one of the South Holland dogs.

He is a bundle of energy and would require training when he gets in his new home.

Update: Dec 3rd, 2008-

AJ had surgery to repair his ruptured Cruciate. It was a very difficult surgery as the damage was extensive. He came home two days later and is resting comfortable on a dog bed in the living room. He hates the cone on his head but it is a necessary evil for now.

Update: Dec 9th, 2008-

AJ is getting around really well. The first few days were tough but is slowly getting better. I know he will be so glad to get the cone off his head! He goes back to the vet on the 15th for a wound check and they will probably remove the sutures then too.

Update: Dec 15th, 2008-

AJ went back to the vet today to get a his leg checked. He is looking good, sutures came out but he still has the cone head so he isn't happy about that but overall, I am happy that he is in the mend. We have to be so careful going outside though with the ice and snow. A bad slip could throw everything right out of wack again so I got a big container of the Ice Melt for Pets to make sure everything is ice-free for AJ! He has to return to the vet in another two weeks.

Update: Dec 29th, 2008-

AJ had another doctor visit today. He is 4 weeks post-op now. The doctor said he is doing excellent and if he stays on this course, he can go back to normal activities in 2 weeks! He will go back for another check up in 2 weeks and if all is well, slowly he can resume his normal craziness. :)

Obedience Training is mandatory for all pit bulls that are adopted from us. An obedience deposit of $200.00 will be collected at the time of adoption, and will be returned upon proof of completion of a basic obedience course.

AJ is great with other dogs but will only be adopted into a home with a female dog or no other dogs.

AJ lovess to run and play and adores my 10 year old son. He loves chew toys and squeeky toys.

More info to come!
