Maxine Pit Bull Terrier Tillamook, OR

Maxine is a young adult Pitty girl who came to us from a large city shelter. We took her on so that she could enter our O-YA DAWGS obedience training camp, which she is enjoying!

About 3 years old, our young Maxine is crazy for toys! She's very motivated to play play and play! She enjoys all types of toys and will carry her toy around and play Keep-a-way with you until you eventually give up. Maxine is "down for anything". She loves to go for walks, she loves to play hard, ride in the truck, go on adventures or just stay home and cuddle on the couch! As long as she's with someone who loves her, she's happy.

Maxine does well with cats and kids. However, with any young pitbull, we recommend children over the age of 8 and children who are taught to respect the boundaries of this breed and no rough-housing. We want her to be set up for success! She ignores cats appropriately but it doesn't hurt to use caution when introducing any new dog to a cat. They'll need to learn each other's boundaries.

Maxine would like to be your only dog. She does not show signs of dog aggression, but she does have some space concerns. She'd do much better in a home where she is your "baby" and gets all of your love and attention. Again, we want to find her a home where she'll succeed. Besides, Maxine is ENOUGH dog! She'll keep you plenty busy!

As stated earlier, Maxine has a bad case of Malassezia Dermatitis. That means she has a severe yeast infection that plagues her whole body from her gut to her skin. However, this is treatable and manageable with consistent care, and high-quality grain-free food. We are treating her with homeopathic remedies and she is on Vet prescribed medication. She'll need several baths a week and special skin care. Her hair will eventually grow back. However, none of these issues damper her spirit! She is as happy as can be. Just imagine how happy she'll be completely healed.
