Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bryan Bickell of the Chicago Blackhawks and his wife Amanda are dedicated to helping "Pit Bull" type dogs find forever homes. As part of their Bick's "Pit" program, a "Pit Bull" is featured through the organization so they can one day find their forever home. Please see the dog's information below and be sure to check out Bick's other "pits"!
Hi, my name is Dean! I am 45 pounds of cuteness and have tons of love to give!
A little about my history: I was found roaming in an alley in the streets of Chicago when I was brought to Chicago Animal Care & Control. A nice volunteer saw me and knew she had to rescue me. I then became a part of Almost Home Foundation and live with a great foster mommy and daddy with 2 fur-foster siblings, both adult labs. I go to daycare and play with all kinds of sizes and breeds two times a week! I attended a 2-week doggy boot camp training too! I have also been cat-tested to see if i could go into a home with a cat. I passed! I was giving the cat kisses.
I'm still a total puppy with puppy manners so I would thrive with additional training. So far I have learned sit. I am very gentle, loving, and love to give everyone big kisses on their face.
I love playing in yards and playing with all my toys. My favorite toy is a tennis ball. I am crate trained and working on daily routines. I love going on walks and my mommy puts me on a harness so I walk better in it! I have gone to all sorts of activities with my foster family this summer: summer concerts, dog beach, and Yappy Hour with Bryan Bickell. Yes Chicago Blackhawks Bryan Bickell is my friend. He paid for all my sponsorship and was a part of saving me from the kill shelter.
Reasons to adopt me:
- I love everyone I come into contact with
- I will shower you with kisses all day
- Love going on walks
- I come with training
- I have professional athletes for friends
- My foster mom has done such a good job with socializing me with all dogs at daycare
- I love to lay on the couch with you and watch ESPN or some reality TV
I get along with all dogs and just have tons of love to give to my new family. I would do good in any home with children and dogs, and even cats.
Contact my foster mom or come meet me at the adoption show on Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM.
Hugs & Licks,
Dean
