Rambo is a three-year-old, large, black and white/cream mixed pit bull terrier and black labrador retriever in Bartlett, TN. He is neutered and house trained, and his vaccinations are up to date. Rambo has full vision in one eye, but this doesn't slow him down or dim his love for life.

About Rambo

Just over a year ago, Rambo was found in rural Mississippi with a severe head injury and lost vision in one eye. He has made a full recovery, but the trauma he endured set him apart. Rambo hasn't let his partial vision affect his zest for life; he loves to run, play, and explore with all the enthusiasm you’d expect from a young, resilient dog. He’s remarkably affectionate—bonding deeply with his people, craving pets, attention, and staying close. Rambo feels everything strongly—joy, excitement, adventure—and especially lights up outdoors where the world seems endlessly interesting to him. Rambo does have a strong prey drive. He cannot go to a home with small animals or small dogs, but flourishes alongside larger dogs. His foster home has three big dog friends, and he truly enjoys their company. Rambo is crate trained, house trained, and thrives with structure and steady guidance. Despite being overlooked for his color, the right person will see his fierce loyalty, resilience, and overflowing heart. He’s survived more than most ever will and is ready to show someone just how much love he has to give. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
