Baron is a gorgeous, 2 yr old, neutered, 60 lb male Pit Mix who is the unfortunate victim of a landlord issue. His current owner can't afford to live anywhere else and the landlord wants Baron out. Baron was rescued from the NYC kill shelter and his owner does not want to bring him back to the shelter by any means, but he must get him a new home by OCT 15!!!

Baron is a sweet loving boy, but he is very shy and a "scaredy" dog and gets nervous around strangers - people and dogs. He bonds very quickly once he gets to know you but sometimes he gets "overprotective" and reactive with other dogs on the street. His owner was working with him to give Baron the confidence he needs to be a well balanced, socialized dog so Baron will need someone who has had experience with bully breeds or someone who is willing to continue with a training program to make Baron a confident, self-assured, well socialized and balanced dog. He appears to get along with "female" dogs and dogs that are smaller than him; however he would be best as an "only dog" at first or with a female dog... unfortunately he hasn't been tested with cats and we don't feel he should be with small children... only older kids 12+ yrs.

He is completely housebroken and is very obedient - He knows all the basic commands is very eager & quick to learn... he just needs help building his confidence... but is so eager to please so if your looking for that loyal best friend forever then Baron is the boy for you!
