This is Cheeto. He is a pitbull (possibly a mix with bulldog since he has an underbite) and he's around 3/4 years old. He recently lost his family. He was found lying next to his dead owner's body (at least we think he was his owner) on the side of the road. The person who found him tried their best to find a way to know more about his family but unsuccessfully. Animal control was called but because he's a pitbull and shelters are full he stayed with this person until they could find a foster family. He didn't have a microchip and +10 days passed after posting on every social media platform and looking for his family - so now comes the time to look for a forever home.
Adoption requirements:
Commitment to training classes/ training at home
Commitment to positive reinforcement
Providing him a safe space and home
Providing veterinary care when needed
Would be great not to be alone for long periods of time at first. He craves security and attention.
Having experience with dogs
Agreeing to a forever commitment. He cannot be rehomed again. He lost too many people.
If there's other dogs : no small breeds and will need to meet first (he's probably better with females but we don't know for sure). On his adoption day he will need to be microchipped.

He is scared of male strangers sometimes on walks (will bark if hears a loud noise or if surprised by stranger on a walk)

Separation anxiety(mild, cries but doesn't destroy the house or dig through garbage)

Allergic to even the air we breath type of kiddo. He would benefit of allergy shot.
Greeting other dogs on leash and dog parks is something that we don’t do with him as for now. Needs to be worked on.
Good with other dogs once gotten to know them and very patient

Cute kisses that won't leave you full of drool
Knows sit, stay and paw
Beefy chunky boy
Has a really cool tattoo (just a neutered tattoo mark) Adoption fee (includes his bag of food, bed, bowl, vet papers, collar, bandana, harness and leash) : $100 If you are interested in meeting Cheeto and adopting him please contact us. We won’t give him to anyone we’re not 100% sure that will provide everything he deserves. He's a great dog in need of a family that will love him forever. Currently in VA, USA but we can try to make it work for the perfect family. We just want this sweet good boy to find someone to love him.
