MARKY MARK - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier (short coat). Meet Marky Mark! This 9-month old puppy has Good Vibrations to spare and came to us from a family who saved him from a bad situation. Sweet Marky Mark was passed around Boston for the first 5 months of his short life and finally given to a good Samaritan after sustaining a bite on the nose from another dog and developing an infection that his owner could not care for. This family made sure he received top-notch vet care and was committed to finding him a great home. Because of his lack of vaccine history, and an unknown history of the dog who bit him, Marky has been on a 4-month quarantine but is officially free and clear and is looking for love! He has been in a foster home with us since July, so we have really gotten to know him, and what an outgoing, friendly, ambitious, and energetic pup he is! Marky Mark is your typical puppy, with playful energy and a bit of a Wildside! He likes to fetch and catch, will hip-hop around the yard in zoomie fashion, loves his chew toys (especially benebones!), and loves playing with his foster sister. And at 42 lbs is such a great size! He has excellent manners and will bring one of his toys as a host offering to any houseguests who drop by. Besides being talented and gracious, this handsome youngster has stunningly good looks with gorgeous olive-colored eyes that make all the ladies swoon. Marky Mark is free-spirited and spunky, bright and joyful, clever and inquisitive. He is a happy guy and an eager beaver to please. And it never hurts that he likes any and all treats. He can be curiously apprehensive around new things, like mums or Halloween decorations that weren’t in the neighborhood on his last walk. It takes 3 times walking by, then he realizes they belong and ignores them. He is truly a Puppy for the People and would thrive in many different types of homes. It was rumored he lived with cats and recently did wonderfully by ignoring the cats in a home he visited for a day. He is 100% housebroken and quickly learned to ring the backdoor bells to let his fosters know he needs to go out. And he curls up to snuggle hard at the end of the night on the couch to watch TV. In fact, you will find him hanging out in whatever room his humans are in. Marky Mark just needs a Funky Bunch to call his own! Due to his lack of history, older kids would be best for this young star. Marky Mark’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who appreciates cuddle time on the couch as much as he does! 2. A family who is committed to taking Marky to a basic manners class to continue to teach him good habits and make him into the best pup ever 3. An active family who wants to include this special man in their adventures on a walk or hike, or with dedicated playtime.
