My personality

My story

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

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi, I’m Ike!

ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I’m a big, sweet, gentle boy.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I am about nine years old.

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a Pit Bull mix.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I weigh 95 lbs.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am a handsome ginger-colored boy with four white paws, white on my chest and on part of my neck.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
Cheese and crackers are my favorite! (Who doesn't love cheese, right?) For breakfast I eat kibble. My dinner is kibble mixed with chicken, carrots, and greens. I enjoy some fruits, too. 🧀🥕🍗🍓

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
I’m a pretty mellow guy and don’t require a lot of exercise. I do enjoy attention with pets, scratches, and belly rubs. I am generally just a happy guy who is chill just hanging out with my human.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
I feel like every day is perfect and it does not take a lot to make me happy. I like lots of naps, a walk around the neighborhood to get some sniffs in, and then spending some time in the backyard lounging in the sun. In the evening, I love being with a human doing anything or nothing.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love my orange ball (food dispenser) because when I push it around with my nose, kibbles come out. It's like MAGIC!! 🏀

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I do know sit and shake. Pretty clever guy, huh?

WHAT SCARES YOU?
I do not like car rides. That thing moves fast and it somehow teleports me from my happy place to ... who knows where!

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I have not been around children.

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Yes, I have two cat friends that I love. Only one of my cat friends gives me love back by rubbing on my legs. 🐈🐈‍⬛😍

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I love other dogs and enjoy their company. 🐕‍🦺 💙

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Hanging out with you. 🫶

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
My health is pretty good. I do have a skin condition and get weekly medicated baths. 🛁

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and dad, three dogs, and two cats. My foster mom is my closest companion, and I like being with her because she keeps me safe, feeds me, and gives me lots of cuddles.🥰

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
In my room on my comfy bed. 🛌

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep on my comfy bed in my own room. I'm kind of a big deal, y'know? I have my own room!

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
Yes! I love to go for walks around the neighborhood. I walk really well on a leash and love to sniff things along the way. 🦮👍

DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
Nah, I'm pretty close to perfect (if I do say so myself!). I just hang out in the sun or on the couch and snooze, watch the world around me, and cuddle up next to my human... not much "not-so-great" about any of that, right?

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
I am potty trained! I'm a distinguished older gentleman, so you know that I can handle something as basic as potty!

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I don’t mind the rain and will go outside to go potty, but no water play for me. 💦👎

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love that they spend time with me and feed me yummy food. 🥗❤️

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was in a shelter feeling scared, alone, and depressed. Since NorCal Bully Breed saved me, I have become confident, happy, and I just love life now! I do love my foster family, but I know that I will find a forever family of my own that will show me what it feels like to be "home." I am hoping you are the one who will give me a chance to share all my love and cuddles and kisses... I am SUCH a good boy! Will you please love me?
