Chunky Monkey Pit Bull Terrier Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Chunky Monkey! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Active, playful, goofy, loving, puppy with lots of energy!
-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history - recommending dog-savvy kids ages 10+ (up to counselor's discretion)
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history - will need proper introductions to ensure everyone gets along
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Chunky Monkey loves other dogs! He'd do best with a playful dog who can match his puppy energy.
-Can do Apartment Living: Not ideal, but may be okay so long as he gets plenty of exercise
-Potty Trained: Unknown
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, one private lesson or a basic obedience course
-Energy Level: High
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a neuter
-Additional Information:
Chunky Monkey is a silly, wiggly, affectionate puppy with lots of energy! He would do best with an ACTIVE person who will take him on lots of adventures (ie. hikes, jogs/runs, bike rides, etc.). At only 8 months old, Chunky Monkey is still very much a puppy. He's going to need someone with plenty of time to dedicate to his training to ensure he becomes a well-rounded adult dog. He knows some basics (sit, down), but is eager to learn more. Luckily he's very treat motivated (his name is Chunky Monkey, after all!) which will hopefully make training easier.
