CHIEF - BULLDOG / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bulldog / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meet your future best friend! Chief is a charming 5 year old mixed breed with a sweet bully face and a heart full of love. He’s an inquisitive and loyal companion who thrives on being with his person, whether you’re hanging out at home, running errands, or heading out for a walk. While not overly active, Chief loves his walks and they’re truly when he’s at his happiest! He would do best in a home with a family that enjoys including him in their daily activities. Chief currently goes to work with his foster mom every day, where he enjoys morning puppuccino stops and mid day walks. He’s crate and potty trained, sleeps soundly in his big dog bed at night, and listens exceptionally well to his name. He knows the commands "sit" and "crate," and is motivated by praise and snacks. Kongs are his all time favorite toy especially when stuffed as a special treat when crated and he also loves treat puzzles and enrichment activities that keep his mind active. A total ladies' man, Chief is very affectionate with women and bonds quickly. He can be wary around some men due to a history of abuse, and may need a little extra patience and gentle handling to feel safe and secure. With his size (50lbs) and strength, along with his goofy personality, Chief might be too much for small children, so a home with teens or older kids would be ideal or a adult only home. Above all, he truly adores his people and thrives on snuggles, belly rubs, and spending quality time together. Chief does well cohabitating with medium to low energy dogs, including adults, seniors, and smaller breeds. He isn’t particularly interested in playing with other dogs, and would do best in a home without large male dogs or those who are dominant. However, he’s done well walking past and meeting calm, larger males in controlled settings. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who will be by your side through every adventure, Chief is ready to join your family. Chief is currently being fostered in North Carolina and may transport along the East Coast as far north as Maine to his adoptive home. Think you’re the perfect match for this lovable guy?
