About Biscuit

Meet Biscuit, a lively 7-month-old Pit Bull Malamute mix ready to charm your heart. He came to the Shelter as an owner surrender when his previous guardian realized they couldn't provide the care a puppy needs. Biscuit is not just an adorable face; he’s a playful pup who adores affection and often melts into your welcoming touch. Biscuit has experience living with teens and adults, and he gets along well with them. He can be quite enthusiastic when playing with other dogs, having previously lived with a senior dog who didn't appreciate his energy. He's still learning about doggy etiquette and would thrive in a home with a playful canine companion following a meet 'n greet at the Shelter. While he's reportedly potty trained, new adopters should keep in mind that accidents may happen during the transition. This energetic boy needs daily physical and mental stimulation to keep him happy, as boredom can lead to some mouthy behavior. Biscuit has also lived with cats and enjoys engaging with them; a household with dog-savvy cats could work with a thoughtful introduction. He knows a few commands such as “sit” and “stay,” and he responds well to treats, making him a prime candidate for positive reinforcement training. Biscuit is currently available for pre-adoption and will be ready to go home after his neuter surgery. Don’t miss the chance to meet him and start your journey together!
