My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Good with Kids: No
Good with other dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Interested but not pushy
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Walks Nicely on a leash: Workin’ on it
Knows Basic Commands: Workin’ on it
Energy Level: Moderate
Special Needs: Skin Allergies

Arrival Story: Discovered at the Macomb County Animal Control.

Approximate Age/Weight: 3 year old / 10 lbs.

Personality: Pinto Bean is quite the charmer with clumsy but fast-movin’ little legs! He loves his own people but will bark at strangers. It will take some time for Pinto to warm up to visitors / new people in his life. Kids are not ideal for Pinto. He loves other dogs and shows interest in resident cat but isn’t pushy. Not much makes him happier than playing with and shaking his toys! What a goof!

Our clumsy boy sometimes misses his jump onto furniture and may run into a wall when he’s excited and not paying attention. Pinto is quick on his feet otherwise. Attends doggy daycare and enjoys spending time with canine pals. Getting better on car rides but still nervous, especially of windshield wipers. We see improvement on visits to the vet’s office.

Pinto requires regular baths and is currently on steroids for skin allergies. While lots of improvement has been made since Pinto arrived, he will require ongoing care to keep itchiness away.

Forever Home: Patient pet parent(s) ideal as Pinto is not confident with visitors/strangers. Skin issues will require extra care and may be long-term. Pinto loves other dogs so another canine pal/sibling would make him happiest. No electric fences, please.
