About Pistol

Meet Pistol! This fun-loving and affectionate boy is ready for a home filled with playtime, adventures, and plenty of cuddles. He enjoys playing tug-of-war with rope toys, munching on dental treats, and snuggling on the couch or in bed. Pistol has experience living with other dogs, so slow introductions to new furry friends will be key. He’s not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is a must. This clever boy is both crate and potty trained but has also proven to be quite the escape artist; he can jump over a 4-foot fence and has figured out how to open certain door and gate handles. For this reason, secure containment and supervision are essential. Although Pistol hasn’t lived with children, his interactions with them remain untested, so patience will be important as he settles into his new environment. Ready to meet your new best friend?
