Dopey

Dopey is an adorable and vivacious American Pit Bull Terrier mix with an estimated birthdate of 12/30/2022. He is a beautiful blue brindle and white pattern. He was originally found stray by a local community member who did her due diligence in searching for his owners, but no one came forward and now he's on the hunt for a new home. Dopey did arrive with a severe skin infection and chronic skin inflammation which he is being treated for. He will likely always need allergy management care, which includes costco salmon and sweet potato kibble and a daily apoquel pill. The appquel may be a lifelong treatment and it runs approximately $90 per month. Dopey is highly athletic dog who will be able to accomplish any goal with a dedicated and competent handler. He would love to be involved in basic dog sports like disc, fast cat, or potentially bikejorn etc, but he would also be happy to just spend time with an active person who walks and hikes regularly. Dopey is friendly to dogs but can be over the top and needs to work on his greeting skills so he's not overwhelming to the other dogs. He does have prey drive and chases cats and small animals, so he is not suitable in a home with small animals. He is also not a good candidate for the dog park because his self control skills and lack of social awareness will be magnified and negatively impacted in an uncontrolled group setting. Dopey loves all people he meets and he's great with kids. He is also crate trained and working on leash training and finishing touches on house training. Dopey's adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, and apoquel. He comes neutered, vsccinated, microchippd and dewormed.
