Adoptable Animal of the Week: Rum Raisin

A Town of Hempstead animal that needs a new home.

  • Name: Rum Raisin
  • Case Number: 20135714
  • Breed: Pit Bull Terrier
My name is Rum Raisin and I am a sweet, energetic, friendly gal! I love everyone, even the most unusual of strangers, I just need to learn to be more polite when meeting them.

I enjoy playing with people. Though I'm not terribly playful with toys now, I may become moreso once in a home. Because of my exuberance and lack of impulse control, I'd be better with teens and up until I learn some manners. I am a little uncomfortable with some handling (snout). I will readily share my food with people.

I tend to be stiff and inappropriate with other dogs. I can be humpy and not playful. With the right playmates, I might learn to be more playful and appropriate, but introductions should be done carefully due to my size and strength. Ultimately, I may well be happier as a people-centric pooch.

I don't know any basic commands but, I may do just about anything for you once you're my person. I definitely need to learn to walk nicely on leash and not to be jumpy. And training will help us forge a relationship.
