Story
Intake Date: 11.9.17 Appx. DOB: 12.17.14 Weight: 43 lbs I was saying to myself just this morning, 'Peyton,' I said, 'Peyton, you know what you need? You need a person all your own.' So I sat down to write this post for the nice Shaw PBR people, because apparently that's the kind of thing they do - find nice people for extremely intelligent and lovable doggies who are...I shudder to type this...LAPLESS. That's right: I have no lap to call my own. Could you be persuaded to volunteer yours? I've already been spayed; am up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies and bordetella; am micro chipped; heartworm negative (and on monthly preventive); come with my own collar and leash; and 30 days free complimentary pet insurance!! Call 662.386.7429 to see about adopting me, today!!   http://www.shawpitbullrescue.com/interested-in-adopting/pre-adoption-questionnaire/

My head is just the right size for your arms to give me hugs, and my mouth is just right to give you the kisses your deserve. And there is no need to fear I will be teased about my color because I am beautiful. I am just waiting for a loving forever friend. I am about 5 years old so I have a lot of time to rule at your side. Could you be my King or Queen???
