About Whiskey

Whiskey is a 3-year-and-5-month-old Pit Bull mix who weighs about 72 pounds. With his charming personality, he's affectionate and playful, but his past and special needs require careful consideration. Rescued from a cruelty situation, Whiskey has made a remarkable recovery. He thrived in a loving home but started showing resource-guarding tendencies, particularly concerning children, which led his previous family to make the tough decision to return him for safety's sake. Whiskey's sweet, goofy nature and tidy habits make him a joy to be around. However, he thrives best in a stable, adult-only home with an experienced owner who understands canine behavior, as he may need guidance regarding boundary-setting. He cannot live with other pets, particularly kids or cats, and his new family must be prepared to seek professional training if needed. Whiskey is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a loving home where he can feel secure and cherished. His importance to us requires that we find just the right match.
