About LaCroix

Meet LaCroix! This spirited ten-month-old American Pitbull Terrier mix is currently living in Phelan, CA. With a cream-colored coat and unforgettable icy blue eyes, he exudes playful joy. LaCroix is a sweet, people-loving boy full of enthusiasm and curiosity. At about 50 pounds as an adult, he's a medium-sized charmer in search of a family that can match his active lifestyle, offering ample exercise, attention, and adventures. Daily walks are essential for LaCroix’s routine, and he thrives on two outings each day to keep his body moving and his mind engaged. When it’s playtime, his favorite toys include Kong balls and tasty Milkbones. Car rides? He enjoys those too, making him the perfect companion for families who love adventures. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. LaCroix is neutered and has a strong foundation in commands, knowing “sit” and “stay,” and responding well to positive reinforcement. Social by nature, he adores meeting people and gets along with other dogs, though he hasn't had much interaction with cats yet. A fenced yard would be ideal for LaCroix to run and play freely. He manages being alone for short periods without issues and shows no anxiety. His icy blue eyes grab attention, but it’s his friendliness and joyful spirit that truly make him memorable. Could LaCroix be the playful companion your family needs? If you're interested in giving LaCroix a loving home, please contact Joyful Pets Animal Rescue for more information.
