Meet Prancer, a vibrant and curious explorer who’s ready to fill your home with laughter and love! 🦌✨ At about 2 years young, this charming Pit Bull–Chow/Akita mix is not just any pet; he’s a potential lifelong partner! Weighing in at an expected 70 pounds once fully grown, he is a big-hearted dog who cherishes companionship and reliability. Prancer’s journey has been quite a ride, just like a holiday sleigh ride! He started his life as a puppy in a home, but then he found himself back in a shelter. After some time in foster care, he spent a year at a sanctuary in beautiful Rosarito, which helped him learn how to peacefully coexist with other furry friends. Now, he’s back in foster care, continuing his journey toward a forever home. Isn’t that a heartwarming tale? ❤️ ### Prancer’s Highlights: **Dog-Friendly Companion:** 🐶 Prancer LOVES making friends with other dogs!
