Ekko - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Olathe, Kansas

Only a puppy, Ekko definitely wants to know why his young life had to start out so difficult.
We can't know the answer to that, but what we CAN know is that Ekko's little life has had a gigantic glow-up since he's been in foster Only good stuff from now on, Ekko! We promise.

Tiny baby Ekko was crated for more than 20 hours a day and wasn't getting enough to eat or drink. After some quality time with a loving foster, he has so much freedom and everything he needs to grow and thrive. Ekko is 9 months old, and he'll probably be around 40 pounds full grown.

Turns out, he's a complete sweetheart, and he's good with kids and gets along well with other dogs. He walks well on a leash and knows sit and some other basic commands. He'll readily do what you ask if he knows he'll get a treat or some good attention. Oh Ekko, you're such a good boy.

He has a regular amount of puppy energy, and he gets these cute little bursts of happiness right after he eats. He likes all the toys, but he particularly likes to play with squeaky toys and balls. He loves the opportunity to snuggle up and cling to his foster mom, so he'll make a great cuddle buddy to his forever people.

Ekko is house trained and he's crate trained, but because he was crated so much in the past, you can't blame him for not liking the crate very much. He should be in a home where people are willing to give him time to build trust - and that might take a little longer with the men in a home. Once he acclimates to new environments, he becomes his full Ekko self, and you've never had a better friend!

He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped, as well as current on heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. His adoption fee is $175. Don't you wanna be the person who ushers Ekko into the good life? Get approved to adopt so you can meet him!
