Pudge - Pit Bull Terrier and Boxer Dog for Adoption

Meet Pudge — Your New Best Friend in the Making!

Pudge is a 12-week-old Pittie/Boxer mix with a BIG personality packed into a 15lb body (soon to be ~65lbs of pure love ). This sweet boy is the total package—smart, affectionate, playful, and ready to find his forever home!

Why you'll love Pudge:


Loyal little shadow who wants to be by your side 24/7
Highly intelligent and eager to please—he LOVES learning!
Crate trained and doing great with house training
Dog-friendly and would thrive with a playful canine sibling
Curious but respectful around cats


A few things to know:
Pudge is a confident, high-energy pup who will need:


Daily exercise + mental stimulation
Consistent training, boundaries, and structure
Plenty of chew toys (he does have a thing for shoes )
Enrollment in puppy obedience classes within 10 days of adoption


He's still a puppy—so yes, he's mouthy, goofy, and occasionally a tiny chaos machine (hello, “little brother energy” ). But he redirects well, learns quickly, and settles nicely once he's had his playtime.

Health & care:
Pudge is finishing his puppy vaccines (adopter will complete DHPP + Rabies). He'll require a neuter deposit and has a mild joint instability that's expected to resolve with proper care—his future family will partner with a vet to monitor his progress.

Ideal home:
An active household ready to invest time, energy, and love into raising an incredible dog. Experience with strong, intelligent breeds is a plus—and a sense of humor doesn't hurt either!

With the right guidance, Pudge has the potential to be an amazing companion—and even a service dog. He's ready to be your adventure buddy, cuddle partner, and loyal protector.

If you love bully breeds and are ready for puppy life, Pudge is ready for YOU.

Pudge for the win!
