My story

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

Want a pittie with a little less leg? A handsome guy smooshed into a compact body? All the love and licks you could ever get with slightly less slobber than usual? We present to you... Ocho!

I'm a personable guy with unmatched confidence. My way of saying hello is by throwing myself into your lap and giving you a big ol' smile. I love to get hugs, scratches, and all sorts of physical affection! As you can surely expect, food is also a huge motivator for me.

My background is a mystery and while we don't want to throw out speculations, it has left me very flinchy. Sudden movements will cause me to cower, toys being thrown make me flinch, and basically anything quick freaks me out. For this reason, we ask that any potential homes don't have any children whatsoever. The adults, too, should keep this in mind to avoid stressing me out. It's certainly something I can work on with positive reinforcement!

Since I'm a pittie, the shelter asks that any potential adopters own their own home, no kids and no cats, and any other dogs in the home be the opposite sex. I'm a young guy, I'd love to spend the rest of my life in a place I can call my own!
