This is Marco, he just turned 1 year old. I believe he is a pitbull mix, but not certain. I’m looking for a new home for him. I want him to get all the love and care he needs but I’m at a very busy point in my life right now and can’t afford to take care of him by myself. I am planning to move out in a couple months, I won’t be able to take him with me, and I can’t leave him with my family. I also struggle with a bad allergy to dogs and it has been getting worse over time.
• Age/Size: 1 year old, about 35–40 lbs
• Temperament: Very sweet, smart, playful, and not aggressive.
• Good with: Kids, other dogs, and cats (he’s very playful no matter what, so he can be too much for younger kids. No aggression).
• Challenges: He has lots of energy and can be very jumpy when excited. He also tends to chew if not supervised, even with toys available.
• Other Notes: He is not yet fixed and hasn’t had his shots. Learns tricks quickly, but still needs a decent amount of training.
I’m asking for a rehoming fee to ensure he goes to a committed and loving home.
If anyone knows a better home or a good shelter for him, please message me here.
