Corky

Meet Corky, a playful and intelligent almost three-year-old American Pitbull Terrier from New Boston, TX, whose signature corkscrew tail and goofy personality make him unforgettable! With his soft tan-cream coat and a heart full of love, this spirited pup is looking for a special home where he can be the center of attention.

Corky is a big fan of outdoor adventures—he loves running around in the yard, zooming through the grass, and, most of all, splashing around in a kiddie pool to cool off! Playtime is his favorite time, and he’s always up for fun, especially when treats are involved. This smart boy knows commands like sit, down, wait, and take it, and he’s happy to work for rewards. He’s crate trained, house-trained, and enjoys his daily Milkbone routine.

While he adores people and is friendly with strangers, Corky needs to be the only pet in his new home, as he doesn’t get along with other animals. He thrives in a structured environment with a securely fenced yard where he can safely play and burn off energy. Because of his lively nature, a home without small children would be best.

Corky is a lovable goofball with the sweetest quirks—when he sleeps, the tip of his tongue adorably peeks out, making him even more endearing! Though he’s independent during the day, he does prefer having a human nearby at night for company. He’s neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his next loving home!

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate companion, Corky is ready to bring endless smiles to your life. Reach out to learn more about this charming boy!
