About Congo

Meet Congo, Buffalo's tug-of-war champion and a part-time couch potato! At around 2 to 3 years old and weighing 60 lbs, Congo is a friendly pit bull mix who was found right in Buffalo last July. After spending a couple of months at the shelter, he moved into a foster home, where he discovered two favorite pastimes: playing tug and exercising on the dog treadmill. Of course, couch time ranks a close third. Congo is well-mannered and gets along with dogs, children, and adults alike. He can even share his space with a confident cat, provided it stands its ground when he gets a bit too curious. He's learned several commands, including sit, paw, down, stay, and place. Congo walks nicely on a leash, loves his crate for meals, and sleeps soundly through the night. If you're looking for a buddy who is ready for adventures and happy to cuddle at the end of the day, Congo is your guy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
