About Dennis

Meet Dennis! He is an adorable 8-week-old male Pit Bull mix with a vibrant personality that shines through every playful moment. Dennis arrived in Connecticut from Texas, accompanied by his mom and eight siblings, all just a few days old. This little guy has a knack for making everyone laugh, as he bounces around with his siblings, showcasing his charming antics. Currently in a foster home, he’s learning to become more independent and is starting the basics, like crate introduction and potty training. Dennis is up-to-date on puppy vaccinations and has been dewormed, making him ready for adoption. Although he’s not yet neutered due to his age, that's something you'll need to do when he’s old enough. Good news for families: Dennis gets along well with children, cats, and dogs, making him a fantastic addition to a loving home. If you’re ready to welcome some joy into your life, consider adopting Dennis today!
