HUXLEY - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 500.00. Huxley's momma was adopted from a high kill shelter in West Texas. Her adopter was told she was fully vetted and low and behold a few weeks later out popped puppies. He and his siblings were split between us and another local MN rescue. They love other dogs and are around young children. . They are typical puppies and are very high energy. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Hi, my name is Huxley! I arrived in Minnesota in October 2024. I am a very sweet boy who loves to give kisses. I am timid around new people, but once I get to know you, I want to be best friends. I absolutely love other dogs and would love to have a dog brother or sister to play with! I have not been around cats for extended periods of time, but I really wasn't a fan. I am not a big fan of young children running as that scares me quite a bit, so I bark at them which scares both of us, so older children in the home may be a better fit. I love sleeping in my foster mom’s bed at night; she gets a pillow and I get my own! I do a pretty good job of going to the bathroom outside, but if my foster parents are at work and I have to go while I’m in my kennel, I will do that. I always have to go to the bathroom immediately after I wake up, as well as after every meal. My foster mom has me on a potty schedule, and I won’t have accidents in the house if the schedule is followed. I am an energetic boy who would benefit from a family who likes being active! My foster mom and I walk 2.5 miles about 4 times per week. I am a good walker on the leash most of the time, but if a dog is barking at me, sometimes I want to see what the noise is about! In between those walks, I play in the yard with my foster siblings! I love eating sticks and grass, so my foster mom has to supervise me. I am good in my kennel; as soon as my foster mom opens the treat jar, I will run to my crate so I can eat my treat! I love food and am a proud member of the clean plate club! I also love treats and bones! I am scared to get in the car, but if a dog friend gets in first, I will follow! However, if I’m going somewhere alone, my foster mom has to lift me in the car (all 60 pounds of me!) Once I am in the car, I am quiet and take a nap most of the time. I usually sit on the floor of the backseat where I feel most comfortable. If you’re looking to add a big dopey boy to your family, apply for me today!
