Optimus Prime Pit Bull Terrier Mix Springfield, MO

When there was a fine line between being a hero, and becoming a memory, my rescuer's told me: "Freedom should be a right... to all beings".

I am now FREE to tell you that... I became a hero, that wants to spend forever making memories, with you!

My name... is Optimus Prime :)

I am a 2-1/2year-old, 46-lb, pitty mix boy. I was found by animal control all alone, and unable to walk, after I was left out to roam and a big scary machine hurt me. I had owners, and I loved them so much I waited months for them to come back for me. They decided to never come back, once I was found injured and was having trouble walking. Some very special rescuers decided to save me from the dark place, and they DID do a lot of pokes and scans to find out what happened to me. How I wish I could have told them.

The good news is - they found out my injuries did not require surgery, and told me I could recover with a little time, a lot of love, and a dash of patience! I'll let you figure out which one of those three I needed most! ♥

I have excelled at my physical therapy and am happy to say that I now require ZERO assistance, and feel like I'm finally a normal dog! I have FULL control of going potty and am totally potty-trained! I get stronger every day, and am a really tenacious boy who was been committed to overcoming my injuries. I am also learning kennel training, it is not my favorite place to be, and I am a hunky houdini at escaping it, but I will be working on this in my training program. I am also mastering leash training like the big brain I am! As I get stronger, I will need a patient human to help me learn what it's like to be a normal dog, and how to keep my energy in check.

I could do well in a ground-floor apartment once I learn the leash a little better, but a home with a yard would be the BEST place to store MY data! I am a perfect a"paw"motron with all people, cats, and dogs. I have my own robot dinosaur language, too, that I'm jovially teaching my rescuers! I promise to keep your systems updated with daily giggles, and that all the smooches I have saved up for you will never be password protected :)

I LOVE rides with my person, and being your shadow. I get so excited every day to see how far I have come, and how far I will GO!
I found out that, even when the world goes dark, and it feels like no one believes in you... that there is always someone out there who knows you can "transform" :)
As long as power flows through ANY of my circuits, I promise... I will be by your side! Apply to adopt me today!
