Details

Story

* Equal parts cuddle bug and comedian—an impish little ham who knows exactly how to steal the spotlight* Absolutely loves people and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give (and then some)* More “short stroll” than “marathon runner,” making him a perfect match for someone who enjoys a laid-back pace on a walk* After a quick walk, he’s all about lounging close by, preferably touching you at all times* Highly food motivated (training bonus!) but also comes with a strong-willed, stubborn streak that just adds to his charm* Knows what he wants—and what he wants is snacks, snuggles, and to be your favorite shadow* Great boy with such a silly personality* Happy and just wiggles all over when given attention from his people* Smartie pants that already knows several commands (sit, down, shake, and roll over)* Really good with recall* Can climb chain link fences, so will need to be monitored in the yard* Friendly with dogs, but does tend to have a dominant personality* Would likely do best with an easy going, tolerant friend that lets him be the boss (if he were to have a fur sibling)* No cats- likes to chase* Requires a heavy duty crate in his new home* Children: UnknownTaterPit Bull Terrier mixMaleDOB: 5/15/2023Weight: 60 lbs.Heartworm NegativeTater`s adoption fee is $150 and includes his neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing, and a free wellness exam.
