Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi! My Name is Angelo!
ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?
I am a playful, happy young boy!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Best guess is I am around two years old!
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a Pit Bull (Staffy) mix!
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
A nice and healthy 63 pounds!
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am such a handsome boy! I have beautiful white fur with some super cute brown spots around my ears. Oh, and MY EARS... My ears are just AMAZING! My right ear has a mind of its own, always up for a party. And I have such an infectious smile. Every day is a happy new adventure, and my smile shows that I am ready for it!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I love my kibble and treats, but I also love liver, hot dogs, and especially peanut butter! OK, so yeah, I am not going to be particular about food. I love it ALL!
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I'm happy, affectionate, and playful. I am always up for a good time! Let's go meet some people! Let's go play with some dogs! Or, if you are feeling like some quiet time, I am SO ready for cuddles!
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY.
I am happy with anything you want to do, but since you are asking for MY preferences... Let's start the day off right! A nice walk or jog to get the sleepies out. Then it's breakfast time, followed by a cozy nap. I would love to go on an adventure in the car or even another walk later in the day! The rest of the best day ever would, of course, involve more food, lots of playtime, and then the day ends with cuddles before bedtime.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love to play with plushies! For some reason, the humans don't want me to pull the stuffing out... But isn't that what the stuffing is for?? If I don't have a plushie, I also love playing with my Kong toy filled with peanut butter.
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I have good recall if you just give me a whistle! I also know the basics... sit and stay, and I am always up for learning. I just need some guidance from you, and I am totally teachable!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
Not a lot scares me, including fireworks and vacuums! What a brave boy, right? Sometimes I am uncomfortable with loud voices, but that's just because I am such a happy boy, and I can't understand why anyone would be yelling like that!
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN?
Yes, I have! I am actually very well-mannered around kids, but young ones may get me a bit overexcited, so I do best with older kids!
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
No, thanks. I’ll pass!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
Oh boy! I just LOVE other dogs and am always up to play or hang out with them!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
First, I would always want to be wherever my humans are, of course. And if the humans happened to be at the park or a beach, that would be even better!
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
I'm a very healthy boy!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR
CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster parents, their young adult son, and my doggy foster brother and sister. I would say I'm closest to my foster mom because she keeps me safe, gives me lots of love, and has shown me how to be such a good boy!
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
When I am home alone, I hang out in my crate with my toys and spend most of my time napping.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in my crate or on the floor next to my foster dad's bed.
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I love walking on a leash or on a harness. I just love being out and about sniffing and exploring! My foster family says I walk great!
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
Hmm... I'm pretty close to perfect if I do say so myself! But I think if you asked my foster mom, she would say something about jumping up on people when I get excited. Ummm... yeah! I have to show you how happy I am to see you! But foster mom says that I am a big boy so I need to tone it down a little. I am working hard on it and will find other ways to show you I love you when I am greeting you.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yes! I'm perfectly house trained and will always let my family know when I need to potty.
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I am such a good boy in the bath and enjoy going into the water at the beach. I'm up for anything, including water fun!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that my foster family loves ME! They make sure that I am safe, that I have enough food to eat, give me lots of cuddles, and they take me on walks so I can explore the world.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
Nobody really knows how my first year went, but my foster family found me abandoned and hiding when they were out hiking one day. They took me home and reached out to NorCal Bully Breed rescue for help finding my forever home. I have learned what real love feels like and I am SO excited to find a family of my own. Are you willing to take me home and love me forever?
