Ahoy there! 🌊 Meet Pirate, the short-legged legend whose spirit is as adventurous as his namesake! This dashing two-year-old red heeler–Basset hound mix isn’t just a pup; he's a compact treasure chest of joy at 45 pounds! With the athleticism of a cattle dog and the delightfully low-riding build of a Basset, he's like a pirate ship rockin' a sports engine—what a magnificent sight! ⚓️ Clever and brimming with energy, Pirate is always plotting his next escapade. Treats are his hidden gold, and he’s motivated to earn them, turning his training sessions into captivating treasure hunts! 🗺️ Imagine a little scholar in the classroom—he’s always waving his paw to ask for “extra credit,” especially if snacks are on the line! 🍖 Now, keeping in mind his adventurous nature, Pirate has a bit of a sailor’s spirit; he’s known to take off on a quest if the gate’s open! 🏴‍☠️ That means he’ll need a loving crew that appreciates his curiosity while keeping him anchored safely at home. Think of it as having your very own ready-for-adventure canine companion! Pirate is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines, making him the whole package—brains, beauty, and just a sprinkle of mischief! If you’re on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind lowrider who’s ready to steal your heart, look no further—Pirate is your guy, no eye patch required! 💖 Want to meet this charming creature? 🐾 Please apply to adopt through the Buddy App!
