My story

Cruz Cruz is pit shepard mix and is a very active and happy boy. Just finished a week at board and train. He is extramely smart and wants to impress, he absolutely loves toys and playing fetch. He is neutered, potty trained and doggy door trained. He will walk on a leash but needs some patience to learn not to pull. He hops right in the car for ride time and loves sticking his head out the window. He will go in a crate but isn't very happy about being in there and will make some noise about it for a while. He preferes to be wherever his human is at and is perfectly content just being near them and he loves sleeping at the end of the bed. He has a deformed ear which is guessed to have been caused by an untreated ear infection earlier in life, it doesn't seem to cause him any pain or issues at this point. While Cruz was around other male dogs with no issues at the shelter as well as board and train he will need slow and supervised introductions to other males in his new home. I have two large male dogs of my own and they just don't want to be friendly with Cruz which has resulted in some agressive interactions. This means Cruz has to be secluded quite a bit of the time which is unfair to him and makes him very sad. This boy is ultimately looking for his forever home but is open to a foster or foster to adopt situation! He is under the care of BAMM Rescue and I am currently his foster. If you or anyone you know is looking for a wonderful companion message me! ##2483095##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cruz, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
