A note from Rontu's foster mom: "What can I say about this charmer of a dog? He has been with me for 10 months and I can't believe he hasn't found his forever home yet. He loves everyone and wants nothing more than to be in on the action of whomever he is with. He is as content to watch tv with you as he is to go for walks, roughhouse in the yard, play with his toys, snuggle, take trips in the car, hang out at your feet, etc. He loves the company of other dogs and would enjoy having a female companion in his new home. He knows when you are serious and is very responsive to okay, yes, no, etc. He is not destructive when left home alone. The only thing he ever does is maybe grab an article of your clothing to sit with until you return. He has been known to grab an extra blanket to place on top of a down comforter (can you say spoiled?).

He has been put into many different situations, from taking his food and toys away while eating and playing, to being still in the bathub, experiencing the commotion of adoption events, being handled and loved on at the vet or by the neighborhood children, and the list goes on. He is very easy going and a good little watchdog (he will let out a grumble if he sees something that's not quite right but never carries on with barking). However, a guard dog he is not. He welcomes EVERYONE and is an all around fantastic dog. He is a great representative of a pit bull or any dog, has the biggest loving heart ever, and is loved by anyone who has ever met him."

Update April 2005

Rontu is in a foster home and is a WONDERFUL companion. He lives with two other dogs and enjoys their company. He lives for walks and especially car rides, ready to go and do whatever anyone in the household would like. He has a great combination of energy and mellowness- he can be very laid back. He loves people so much- whenever a member of his family leaves the room and comes back in, he acts as if he hasn't seen them in a while and is delighted with their presence. Rontu is a very strong dog and will need good and positive leadership. He is generally quiet but will bark sometimes during play. His one 'flaw' is that he likes to jump up on people (it's his form of getting as close as possible to someone- mainly to give kisses), so he is learning that not everyone appreciates that! Aside from a great temperament, he is drop dead gorgeous and attracts quite a bit of attention wherever he goes. He is very confident and outgoing and knows no stranger. He is a joy to have around, is a clown and entertains on a daily basis, and is very much loved by everyone who knows him.

Gorgeous male Red/Rednose. Young Happy, Friendly and outgoing. Rontu is an excellent of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Rontu is one incredibly lucky boy, He made his way to animal control, picked up as an abandoned dog. Many of the volunteers were sure he would be claimed as he came in with a healthy coat and no fighting wounds. He appeared to be someone's cherished pet. A Monday morning was his euthanasia day, He amazingly was passed over and when his current rescuer heard he was still there she new she had to list him right away.

Rontu is a beautiful dog both inside and out. He is not a fence fighter with the other dogs, he is pretty responsive, not super rambunctious, loves to play ball and carry around sticks, loves to crawl in your lap when you are sitting down, gives lots of kisses, rides well in the car, and is not a barker at all.

We have not introduced him to other dogs except for him meeting through the kennel, but we will try and do so very soon. We think he will probably do well with a friendly female. Rontu can not be placed with cats however. We have not seen Rontu around young children, but his temperament is excellent, we expect him to do well with children. He would probably very much enjoy older children to play with.

Please take me home with you......I'm ready to go....
