About Pico De Gallo

Meet Pico De Gallo, or just Pico if you want to keep things casual. Picked up on Cinco de Mayo, he’s got a memorable noggin and a standout brindle coat with splashes of cream. About 3-4 years old, he’s thought to have some American Staffordshire Terrier in his family tree. His past is a bit of a mystery, but his friendly attitude shines through right away, though he sometimes takes a minute to size people up before warming up. Pico is basically a big puppy—clingy, goofy, easy to spoil, and he definitely wants to be part of daily life. This guy is strong and will do best with someone familiar with handling larger breeds. He seems house trained but will do better with a routine, a crate, and a refresher period in a new home. Pico knows a few basic commands but will bond even better with someone who’ll keep up his training. He’s got a steady, moderate energy—he’ll be up for hikes and long walks, and content to crash on the couch when the weather turns. Pico should do fine with pets and children if everyone meets slowly and supervision is solid at the start. He’ll head home neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Ready to meet your new best friend?
