About Pickles

Here’s Pickles. Pickles thrives on action. He's a compact, spunky mixed-breed (Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier) with a young dog’s energy in full tilt. Every day for Pickles means bouncing, sprinting, and soaking up the world at top speed—until he’s wiped out and drops right into a nap, legs splayed. He’s sharp, too; already progressing with kennel training and picking up basic commands fast. Give him a puzzle toy or a game and he’s just as happy as when he’s tumbling around. He tends to be a bit reserved the first time he meets someone or a new animal, preferring to size things up from a distance. But if you’re patient, he’ll soon be at your feet, wagging, ready to stick by your side indoors or out. Pickles is happiest with a family that can match his playful style and doesn’t mind giving him a little time to open up. Provide him that, and you’ll have a smart, fun-loving companion who repays patience in full. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
