My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:



Meet Ike — Gentle Gentleman with Soul!
Personality: Couch Potato Lovebug

Ike is the sweetest older Pit Bull mix you’ll ever meet. He may be a senior, but he still has pep in his step—just enough for a nice, easy stroll before settling in as your resident couch potato.
This mellow boy walks wonderfully on leash, seems to be house-trained, and takes treats with the gentlest manners. Ike is that perfect kind of dog who still has plenty of love to give, wrapped up in calm energy and years of wisdom.
If you’re looking for a companion who’s low-fuss, big-hearted, and endlessly comforting, Ike is your guy!

Fun Fact: Ike does a tiny, polite tail thump whenever he sees his favorite humans—his own quiet version of a happy dance.
Ike is ready to bring warmth, sweetness, and serenity to a home that cherishes a good cuddle and an even better nap buddy.
