About Handsome

Meet Handsome! This 1.5-year-old, 70-pound Pit Bull mix has beautiful amber eyes and an exuberant personality. Known for being a Velcro dog, he adores people and prefers to be right by your side. Handsome has developed a special bond with his teenage foster sibling, often snuggling up for sleep at night. He enjoys outdoor adventures like hiking and playing fetch, and he’s always ready for a car ride or a game with his flirt pole. Handsome is good with other dogs, although he can be a bit much for more reserved pups due to his rough play style. While he is submissive when corrected, he loves to test boundaries, so some dog experience is preferred. It’s best for him to be in a home without cats or small animals, as he takes his squirrel patrol duties very seriously. He is crate trained and house trained, mostly asking to go out when he needs to. His exuberance shows in some energetic behaviors; he jumps with excitement and might help himself to anything left within reach, from countertops to shoes. With patience, training, and consistent exercise, he will bring joy and adventure to your home for years to come. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
