I have tons of energy and am very bright. I definitely want to be around you – I’ll even participate in the conversation if you allow. I am very comfortable in a crate – my shelter friends didn’t even know I was crate trained until they left me alone in the lobby one day and I got in an empty crate in the manager’s office. I made myself at home and was very comfortable. I’m affectionate, give kisses, know how to “sit” and give my paw. I walk well on a lead. I will benefit from training as I need to learn manners and good behavior but since I’m smart, I should learn pretty fast. I am dog selective – I like the girl canines but not so much the male dogs. Maybe it’s the competition although I’m newly altered so we’ll see if my behavior changes, although I doubt it since I’ve always had an eye for the ladies!

Sex: Male (altered)
Age: 4.3
Weight: 58.7 lbs
Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer
Color: Brindle/White

I love hanging out with People – I’m a little more selective with my doggie friends, especially when they are all vying for attention by barking, jumping, whining – you know the type. And those little snappy dogs just don’t appeal to me much. I have made a couple of good dog friends at the Shelter, although I prefer humans. I really didn’t want to come here but now I’ve met all kinds of cool folks and I just know one of them is going to take me to my forever home. I sure hope the one who picks me has a great big comfy sofa as I seem to be what some call a “couch potato”. Take me home with you and let me curl up with you while you read a good book and I just enjoy your warmth and love.

I am a happy girl who loves to play. I am really good with other dogs as long as I get to be the dominant queen – actually, I’m a good teacher of other dogs as I help them remember their manners. I am cautious of strangers and need to warm up to humans I don’t know. Just give me time as once I know you are trustworthy, I will quickly demonstrate my love for you. I am anxious for my forever home and hope you come to see me and take me home with you.
