I’m still getting used to my new environment since my mom Rescued me, so I might be curious and a bit excitable when out and about. I’m also very affectionate and love attention from humans. Just a heads-up, us bull terriers can be a bit stubborn sometimes, but I’m very sweet and eager to please. I do sometimes tend to stop mid walk. Give me some time and kneel down and palm my treats, NEVER DANGLE treats I don’t know my distance of my big head😂and I might get some fingers. I get leashed by the collar or harness.“

I think people over looked me because one of my back legs is shorter than the rest but oh well, that never stopped me from being extra super fast! I am three years old as well, just like Oso! I love to run, play, and give kisses. Seriously. Giving kisses is like.. my favorite thing to do. I will soak your face with love. Mom and dad complain at how wet their faces are after I give them all my kisses.“

• “Chico is a sweet and charming pit mix. He loves to run, be chased, play tug of war, bathe people with kisses, and sniff every inch of the area around him. He was taken from his mom too soon, per his records he was dropped at the shelter at only 3 pounds, so he is pretty anxious, can be reactive, and doesn’t have bite inhibition. We are working on it, but dog parks are just not his thing!“
