Pit Bull Terrier / Queensland Heeler / Mixed (Medium Coat)

Description:

Meet Socks, an 11-month-old Pit/Heeler mix who’s never met a beach hedidn’t love. He’s all about sandy paws, salty breezes, and chasing waves —though his favorite part is curling up next to his human afterward for along nap.Socks is potty-trained, playful, and totally toy-obsessed. Tug-of-war? He’sthe reigning champ. A squeaky ball? Instant joy. And when the day windsdown, he’s happiest snuggled up in bed, dreaming about his next adventure.He’s great with other dogs and would love a confident canine buddy to helphim feel secure. His low prey drive means he might even be fine with cats.Socks is still shy with new people but getting braver every day with thehelp of patient, kind friends at the shelter.What this sun-soaked soul really needs is an experienced adopter who’llgive him time to trust — and maybe take him to the beach once in a while.Because under that shy exterior is a loyal, loving beach bum just waitingto find his forever wave.
