About Chico

Meet Chico! Chico is a lively five-year-old American Pitbull Terrier and Australian Shepherd mix located in Duxbury, MA. His playful spirit and beautiful tricolor coat make him a memorable companion. Weighing in at 79 pounds, Chico is a loving boy who treats every person he meets as a potential friend. He has a warm, affectionate nature and gets along wonderfully with children and other dogs. While we don't know how he feels about cats, his friendly demeanor suggests he would enjoy meeting them, too. Chico loves swimming, splashing around, and playing with his water buffalo bones. He enjoys car rides and sharing cuddles with his favorite humans. This oversized cuddle bug is not shy about climbing into laps and believes personal space is a myth! Though he can be left alone for several hours, Chico would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to share in his adventures. Known for his powerful bark, he reacts to doorbells and unexpected noises with enthusiasm. Chico would do best in a loving home with some distance from neighbors, as he loves to express himself. A fenced yard with ample space to play would be ideal for him. Chico knows basic commands like "sit" and "come here," although he could use a little more training for off-leash recall. He is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. While he sheds frequently, regular brushing helps manage it, and he requires some attention to his ears due to recurring yeast infections. Above all, Chico craves a family that appreciates his affectionate nature and high energy. He'll bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles to your life. Could he be the perfect companion for you? If you'd like to welcome Chico into your home, please reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information! Though he currently has a family, they are seeking a loving new home for him. Chico is also open to long-distance adoption, proving that love really knows no bounds!
