About Optimus Prime

Optimus Prime is looking for a special human to step up and be his rescuer. He's a 4-year-old pit bull mix, about medium-sized, found alone and struggling to walk after a spinal injury. Surgery wasn't needed, but ongoing care is part of his life: Optimus will always have some incontinence and needs an owner ready to manage regular diapering and occasional house accidents. He also gets pressure sores from dragging his back legs, so routine checks and a bit of wound care are part of the deal. Mobility aids—including assist straps and a wheelchair—will go with him, and his adopter must be able to lift 50 pounds. The good news? You could hardly find an easier, sweeter companion. Optimus is famously gentle and calm, great with other big dogs, cats, and kids. He’s been around all kinds of animals on farms before, with no fuss. He loves rides, walks (with help), and is happiest next to his people on the couch. Handsome with a signature pittie grin, he’ll charm anyone he meets. A house or apartment suits him fine—he’s not picky about a fenced yard—and he’s all about being by your side. If you're ready for a devoted friend who needs just a bit of extra help, Optimus will thank you every day. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
