As I'm sure is the case for most people, fish aren't the only pets I keep. My wife and I have an 8 year old bagle hound (beagle/basset hound) who was rescued as a puppy. A few months ago, we bought a house with a fenced yard, and I wanted to get another dog. My wife wasn't ready for another permanent dog, so we compromised and agreed to foster a local dog.
I found a local rescue that works with shelters to help find dogs permanent homes. The group specializes in Pit Bulls and Rottweilers, and is located close to my house.
We are currently fostering a 6 year old pit bull named Clyde. He is a very sweet dog, and is submissive to our female bagle hound. He is house trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, and walks well on a leash. He can be left alone for long periods of time, he spends 11 hours at home while we're at work, and has never had an accident in the house during the day. For anyone that thinks all pit bulls are aggressive dog, this dog will show you that's not the case. He is truly happy on the couch with his head in your lap, but can be content with a thick blanket on the floor. He goes outside a few times in the evening, but other than that he sleeps for most of the evening.
He is good with other dogs (previously lived with 6 others) and good with small children (he'll be playing with my 6 year old niece and 4 year old nephew this weekend). Not sure about cats, but wouldn't be surprised if was fine with them. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and in good health.
If anyone is interested in learning more, or would like to visit him, please PM me and I'll be happy to set something up, or answer any questions you have. A few pictures are below, pardon the low quality, I'll try and take come better pictures this weekend to post later.
