Age: 1  Sex: Male   Breed: Pit Mix  Weight: 49 Pounds

Pickles is a lovely boy who is easily overwhelmed by the sensory input of the shelter. He enjoys engaging in training and play in our quieter areas of the shelter, where he shows high energy and teenage rambunctiousness playing with toys or romping around. Pickles is currently on a prescription diet due to some skin issues and can seem sensitive when pet, but enjoys neck scratches when given a calm, trusting approach and opportunity for consent checks. Pickles would love to learn some basic skills outside of the shelter and has been practicing “sit” alongside learning how to be calm in exciting moments. Due to discomfort, Pickles should not go home with other dogs. Discretion should be used when placing with cats due to energy and lack of history. Pickles should not be placed with kids under 5 due to his tendency to mouth when overwhelmed.
