Hi there! My name is Tyke, and I’m a 3-year-old, 65-pound pittie mix looking for my forever home! With the softest white fur and the cutest black and tan patch around my left eye, it’s bound to be love at first sight. And if looks aren’t enough, you’re sure to fall for my winning personality! I’m friendly and loyal, and I get along well with other dogs. I even like cats!
I’m neutered, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m also house-trained and leash-trained, although I do best with a harness to help with pulling. I can’t help it - I’m a strong boy, and walks are just so exciting! I do not do well in crates and can chew myself out. Maybe you can help me with crate training?
I’m very energetic and would make an excellent running/biking/hiking partner. However, I’m not a fan of car rides! I get nervous and my foster mom says I bark too much in the car. I would do better if crated for car rides and if there are other dogs traveling with us!
I do have a few quirks you should know about. I will need a patient adopter who is willing to work with me through some anxiety. When I get nervous, I sometimes chew things I shouldn’t. Small children also make me nervous, so I’d do best in an adult-only home. I have some allergies, so I eat a special prescription diet that helps a lot.
I’m located in Pennington Gap, VA but can be transported for that special someone/family. If you’re interested in adopting me, please fill out an application today! You must be 21 or older to adopt me.
