About Habanero

Habanero is a six-year-old American Bulldog mix with a strong personality and a lot of heart. He’s got an endless love for play—leave him with toys and he'll entertain himself for hours. While he comes across as energetic, there’s a sweet, affectionate side just beneath the surface that shows once he warms up to new people. Strolls down the street and rounds of fetch are his idea of a good time. He’s sometimes reactive around other dogs, but slow introductions can help him find the right canine friend. Habanero should not live with small dogs or cats, but older children (10 and up) are a good fit, and occasional visits from younger kids could work too. He blends eagerness for adventure with a bit of careful consideration when meeting other pets. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
