BROO | PIT BULL MIX | MALE | 4 YEARS | 59 LBS

Meet Broo! Broo is an approximately 4-year-old sweetheart who came to us from MADACC in Milwaukee, WI, and he is ready to find his forever home!

Broo absolutely loves his people. His favorite place is right beside you on the couch, soaking up attention and cuddles. He also enjoys playing with toys and is perfectly capable of entertaining himself when you’re busy. With his medium energy level, Broo is happy to play and be active, but he also knows how to settle down and relax.

He has been wonderful with people and children. He has spent time around children ages 5–10 and has been patient, gentle, and friendly with them. Broo is also doing great with training and is very redirectable. He knows sit, stay, paw, heel, come, U-turn, and watch me, and he continues to learn and improve.

Broo is fully potty trained, has not been destructive in the house, and can be left alone while free-roaming the home. He has excellent house manners and has shown that he can be a well-behaved, easy companion.

When it comes to other animals, Broo has had two successful leash tests with female dogs. Because every dog is different, a meet-and-greet with any resident pets is recommended to make sure everyone is a good match. His compatibility with cats is currently unknown.

Broo is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He has had some teeth extracted, but this does not slow him down. He eats, plays, and chews normally and has no current medical issues.

Most importantly, Broo is just a really great dog. He is affectionate, friendly, trainable, and adaptable, and he would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a loyal companion and professional-level couch cuddler.

If you’re looking for a dog who will happily join you for adventures but is equally thrilled to curl up beside you at the end of the day, Broo may be your guy!

PINOT | PIT BULL MIX | FEMALE | 3.5 YEARS | 45 LBS

REQUIRED: ONLY DOG

Pinot is a sweet, loving dog that loves people and wants to make them happy. She is crate trained and absolutely perfect at home. She loves her toys and loves to snuggle. She doesn't beg for food and in fact will simply go to sleep while you eat. She learns quickly and is incredibly well-mannered. She doesn't resource guard her treats, toys, or food whatsoever and is very trusting. She loves fuzzy blankets and pillows, and she likes to wear clothes. It's been so fun to dress her in sweaters, rain coats, and little boots for really hot days. She has been such a wonderful addition to our home and we are devastated to lose her.

Pinot gets bursts of energy where she wants to play. She loves playing fetch with her toys, but quickly settles down and wants to be with her people. She is at her most content sitting on the floor and resting her head in someone's lap, taking many naps throughout the day and sleeping well through the night.

Pinot goes on four walks a day; none lasting more than 20-30 minutes. She looks forward to breakfast and dinner, showing you where her food is and sitting patiently while you get it ready. She has a few chew-proof toys that she loves and carries around with her. She loves to show them off. She spends a good portion of her day napping, with intermittent pets and snuggles, and spends the night in her crate. She loves her crate and often naps in it.

Pinot will be a great dog for a family without other pets. She loves people and children and wants to be around them whenever possible. She is wonderful with my 11-year old son. She doesn't have a ton of energy and is used to a quiet household. She has been in training for walks, but would love a fenced in yard without exposure to other cats or dogs. Due to her reactivity toward other dogs, she would need someone who is experienced in caring for dogs and will put in the work to continue her training. We are confident she will keep improving with a dedicated owner.

Pinot is house trained; knowing how to sit, wait, and go to her crate. She sits next to you when you stop walking, and waits politely and patiently to eat. She has been in training for walks as she has a habit of pulling and getting very excited when she sees another dog, but she has been making great progress. She is very smart and receptive to training.

Pinot is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. She is also micro-chipped. She has been eating Dr. Gary's All-Breed food with pumpkin and salmon oil mixed in without any issues. She appears to have some mild allergies for which we give her one 10mg Zyrtec per day. She should have regular baths to keep her skin nice - we have been bathing her every 2 weeks.

Pinot is reactive towards other dogs but has done really well in reactivity training and would benefit from someone continuing that work. Pinot was involved in an altercation with another dog. Another dog owner tried to separate the dogs and received a minor cut on his finger in the process. The City of Milwaukee has granted an order requiring her to wear a muzzle as a result of the cut. We are actively appealing this order. However, she does get excited when seeing the muzzle and happily wears it any time we leave the apartment. Our property management company will no longer allow us to keep Pinot and this is the only reason we are seeking a new home for her. We would do anything to keep her. She is such a wonderful dog and has brought us so much joy. We want her to be with someone that can give her all the love and support she needs, and maybe a yard. It breaks our hearts that we have to do this.
