Hey Arnold!! He had a terrible car accident and had his leg amputated at APA! to save his life. His previous owner loved him since he was a baby but is unable to take him back. He grew up in the house, housetrained, crate trained and lived with two chihuahuas who ruled his world. He never harmed them and grew up with them. He also lived next door to a dog who did bite him but he never bit back. He is a giant headed sweet pittie baby. He is very affectionate with the people he trusts but slow to warm up to people he doesn't know but in his previous home didn't bother people coming over. We don't know yet how he will be other dogs that he didn't grow up with but seems unfazed by them so far as he walks past. He never spent time with kids or cats. He's very low energy- choosing to play with his squeeky toys and lounge next to you all day long- touching your feet and legs. He very gingerly accepts treats and does not get on the furniture. Could you give him a safe spot to recover?

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
