Pit Bull Terrier - Medium - Young - Male - Dog - Harry

THIS IS A COURTESY POST FOR "MUTTS 4 RESCUE" IN RHODE ISLAND. PLEASE CONTACT BethHickey@gmail.com FOR INFORMATION ON ADOPTING THIS SWEET BOY. Harry is an absolutely wonderful 11 month old pit bull. He is about 70 lbs and is looking for a best friend. Harry LOVES his foster mom and goes tothe office with her a couple of times a week. Everyone there loves him and calls him "wiggle butt" because of how he wiggles over to get pets. He knows his basic commands, does not jump on people and house and crate trained. harry also plays great with other dogs. Harry's foster mom is going to be very sad to see him go, but she knows that he deserves more attention then she can give him. Harry is destined for wonderful things and would make a great therapy dog and continues to change people's perception of the breed every day. Our adoption fee is $350 for most young/adults and $400 for puppies. We have had to raise our fee do to our transport costs from the south. We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."
