RAISIN - American Bulldog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Raisin is a treat-motivated boy who takes treats gently and already knows “sit,” “shake,” and “down”—he can even catch treats! He enjoys attention from people and will lean in for pets. During his dog introduction at the shelter, Raisin appeared uncomfortable and preferred to keep his distance rather than interact with the other dog. He may be happiest as the only dog in the home, or introductions to other dogs should be very slow and gradual, with calmer canine companions who will respect his space.

Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
