Story
🐾 Meet Curtis! 🐾
Curtis is a 9-week-old Black Mouth Cur / Pittie mix weighing 9.4 pounds of pure puppy energy and sweetness. He’s the perfect blend of cuddles and chaos — one minute snuggled up, the next zooming around like the rambunctious baby he is. We anticipate Curtis will grow to be around 45–50 lbs when fully grown.
One of Curtis’s cutest features is watching his short little legs try to keep up with his chunky puppy body — especially when he realizes the stairs are just too much and needs a little help. It’s impossible not to smile.
Like most puppies his age, Curtis believes everything is a chew toy and is actively learning that hands and feet are not for biting. He’s responding well to redirection with Benebones and toys and is starting to understand the word “no.”
This food- and toy-motivated boy has already begun learning basic skills like sitting, taking treats gently, and getting comfortable with crate time. He did wonderfully crated during his vet visit and is doing well using puppy pads while continuing house-training.
Curtis is very dog-friendly — even with dogs who may not fully appreciate his enthusiasm. Because he’s still learning social cues, he would do best with younger or tolerant dogs who can safely handle his playful style. He is well socialized with dogs and would love a home with respectful kids. Due to his sharp puppy teeth, supervision is important while he continues learning good manners.
He hasn’t started leash training yet — that will come with time. Curtis rides well in the car, loves adventures, and has an energy level best described as rambunctious. His favorite things include Benebones and his lamb stuffy.
🏡 Ideal Home:
Curtis would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not and committed to continuing puppy training. A physically fenced yard is required so he has a safe place to burn off puppy energy. Patience, consistency, and structure will go a long way — and the payoff is a loyal, affectionate companion.
If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playful chaos, and a whole lot of love, Curtis may be the perfect addition to your family. 🐶❤️
