My name is BAYOU!

Hi kind humans! Bayou here, the 1-year-old, 37lb male Pittie mix looking for a family to belong to! I was found as a stray and brought to a southern kill shelter with a severely injured leg and my odds weren’t good. Thankfully, a kind rescuer saved me, I had that leg amputated and now I’m a “tripawd”. But I don’t let that slow me down one bit! Now I’m up here in Byron Center, Michigan with my sites set on finding my forever home.

The first thing you should know about me is that I’m the HAPPIEST pupper you’ll ever meet. I get along with all other dogs, big and small, none can resist my big smile and happy-go-lucky (and very submissive) nature. I love my friends so much, I’ll even share my food bowl! My favorite thing to do is play fetch - and I’m really good at it, 3 legs and all. I’ll definitely need a FENCED-IN YARD so I can run and play until my heart’s content. I love kids! I haven’t had the opportunity to make any feline friends yet, but my gentle nature suggests that we would get along just fine.

If you’re looking for a dog that you can take everywhere - PICK ME! I’m very popular on the pet store circuit and if you take me to a dog-friendly restaurant, I will behave like a perfect gentleman, I’ve got my manners down pat. Visiting family? No problem, I make new friends wherever I go and I even ride well in the car! I’m also very smart - I learned ‘sit’ in about 30 seconds and I’m eager to be taught more commands. The secret is TREATS!! I am a very food and treat motivated learner.

So what do you say? This bundle of joy is housebroken, crate-trained, fully-vetted and ready to join your family with an adoption fee of $300. Questions about me? Please email projecthoperescue@gmail.com. To apply to adopt, please visit our website at www.projecthoperescue.org. I can’t wait to meet you!
