About Silvio

Meet Silvio, an energetic softie looking for his forever home! Currently in foster care in Cool, CA, Silvio is a 4.5-year-old pit bull terrier who weighs around 80 lbs. Rescued from a shelter, he underwent professional training while boarding. His foster family, having health issues, can no longer care for him. Silvio is affectionate and friendly, thriving on cuddles and being a total people-pleaser. He has a lively spirit, loves fetch, tug-of-war, and brisk jogs, and can be a bit rambunctious due to his strength. Silvio is fully trained; he's housebroken, crate- and muzzle-trained, and knows commands like sit, come, and stay. He’s well-mannered on a leash with zero food aggression and waits patiently for toys. To match Silvio’s energy, he needs experienced owners who can confidently handle him. He loves kids and is very respectful, but it's best if there are older children in the home. While he could potentially live with a female dog after careful introductions, he does not get along with cats or small pets. Silvio thrives on routine and may experience anxiety when left alone, so a family that is often home is ideal. Silvio is a gentle giant looking for a strong leader and a loving home.
