Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (Medium Coat)

Description:

Pete is a friendly, affectionate boy with a classic wiggle-butt greeting and a heart full of love. A true cuddler at his core, Pete prefers spending most of his time indoors soaking up comfort and companionship, but is just as playful! He’s fully potty trained and will politely let you know when he needs to go outside by waiting at the door and giving a little whine. Pete is crate trained and can be left home alone for 8–12 hours. He may be a bit vocal when left by himself, but overall he’s a well-mannered and trustworthy companion. One of Pete’s favorite things? Bath time and car rides — he’s always happy to tag along for an adventure or a spa day! This smart boy knows an impressive list of cues, including “sit,” “down,” “off,” “come,” “leave it,” “wait,” “touch,” “bed,” “inside,” and “outside.” When he’s not showing off his skills, Pete enjoys being an affectionate couch potato who loves playing with balls, ropes, and durable chew toys. Pete does have some noise sensitivities and can become fearful during loud sounds like fireworks or gunshots, so a gentle and understanding home would be ideal. While it’s unknown how he does with unfamiliar dogs, Pete has been great with new people and children and previously lived peacefully with his cat siblings! Pete has had a friendly demeanor towards other dogs and could do well with a canine friend. We could always provide a dog meet and greet if needed! When meeting someone new, Pete may get a little vocal at first — until he gets that first pet, then he’s all smiles and wiggles! Pete is a loving, loyal companion who would thrive in a home ready to give him comfort, patience, and plenty of affection.
