Wendell

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Westwood, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This cutie named Wendell is about 4 years old and ready to move on to bigger and better things. This sweet boy was originally found as a stray but somehow no one came to claim him after almost a year. Peace4Paws saw what a special boy he was and stepped in to find him a home. At the shelter, he was a favorite making lots of friends both human and canine alike. Wendell is incredibly dog friendly and would get along great with another dog in the home, however a low traffic household with older kids/teens (if any) would be best. His favorite pastimes are receiving massages, walks and just sitting in the shade to beat the heat. This already neutered and 40lb boy is so ready to find a love of his own. To apply to adopt Wendell, go to www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application from a computer or laptop. Together let's give Wendell the life he's always dreamed of.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story

This 6-week-old Pit Bull pup is ready to take center stage, and he’s bringing all the attitude, charm, and tongue-out sass you'd expect from his namesake. Currently on his solo Love Gun tour (a.k.a. living it up in foster care), Gene is busy perfecting his strut, shredding toys like guitar solos, and practicing his signature puppy smooch attack. He’s got big rockstar energy and even bigger puppy eyes—basically, he’s born to be wild (until nap time). Gene will be fully vetted before heading off to his forever stage- you won’t have Nothin’ to Lose except your heart once you meet him. If you're ready for a loyal companion who’s equal parts cuddlebug and headliner, Gene Simmons is ready to Rock and Roll All Nite... and snuggle every day. Apply to pre-adopt this future legend today!
