Meet Pitch!
A happy, fun little guy ready to find his perfect match 💛
What we love about him:
● Great with dogs of all sizes
● Eats and sleeps comfortably in his crate
● Snuggly, cuddly, and affectionate, but also content to do his own thing
● Loves belly rubs, butt scratches, and all the attention he can get
● Enjoys chewing on toys — especially the small ones he can proudly carry around
● Nice leash manners and enjoys walks
● Rides well in the car
● Working hard on not marking indoors — rocks his belly band like a pro
● Sensitive to being lifted, give him time to get to know you
● Strong attachment to found items (especially “treasures” like trash) — needs close supervision and an experienced handler; may snap or bite if items are forcibly taken from his mouth, so careful management and positive trade techniques are essential
• Strong-willed and expressive — has opinions about being told what to do and may get a little sassy when asked to come inside before he’s ready or trade the couch for his crate. He’ll thrive with a confident, experienced owner who can set clear boundaries and build a respectful, trust-based relationship.
● Will need regular brushing and grooming to keep his coat looking its best ✂️
Pitch is a joyful, silly sweetheart who will bring so much love and fun to his forever home! 🐾
