My story

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

This just in: Haddock has his own Instagram account -- go check him out @adoptable_haddock!

Meet Haddock: Haddock is a strikingly handsome ~4-year-old Pitbull mix with a beautiful brown and white coat that perfectly matches his charming personality. Haddock has been living with his foster dad since December 2022 and has really learned how to "dog" during that time. He is ready and waiting for his forever home!

Personality: Haddock is a sweet and cuddly dog who adores being close to his humans. His affectionate nature shines through in every tail wag and face lick he gives. He's the perfect snuggle buddy after a long day or during a lazy weekend morning. His warm, expressive eyes are windows to a loving soul, and he's always eager to shower you with affection.

Training: Haddock is not only a lover but also a well-behaved dog. He's crate trained, which means he'll have his own cozy space to relax and feel secure. Haddock has also received private 1:1 leash and command training, making walks a breeze and adventures together even more enjoyable.

Energy Level: Haddock has a medium to high energy level. He's up for playtime, walks, and outdoor fun, but he also knows how to chill out and relax when it's time to wind down. He's versatile and can adapt to your energy levels, whether you're up for a jog or a Netflix binge.

Ideal Home: Haddock thrives in a home where he's the center of attention. He would do best in a place where he's the only pet, as he enjoys having all your love to himself. Due to his enthusiastic nature, a home without small children is recommended. This ensures a calm and enjoyable environment for everyone.

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and well-trained companion who's always up for a cuddle, walk, or playtime, Haddock is the perfect match. Come meet him, and let your heart be stolen by this sweet, strong boy!
