Dexter Pit Bull Terrier Mix Hornell, NY

I am a big goofy boy who just so happens to be searching for his new forever family. I am an energetic pup who would love to have a home that will take me on daily walks, or maybe some long weekend adventures like camping! I enjoy playing with my toys, and with my people, but I sometimes get a little over excited and have been known to use my chompers during play....OOPS, SORRY! My shelter family says they know I don't mean to use my teefs on my people during playtime, and that I just need someone to help me learn some manners, which I'm totally down to learn!

You may have noticed that my eyes look a little yucky in my photo, and that's because I have something called entropion. Entropion is a genetic condition that causes my eyelids to roll inward, and as a result my fur and eyelashes are constantly rubbing against my eyes. This causes me a great deal of pain and discomfort, and unfortunately for me, it has led to partial vision loss ? I will be getting surgery to fix the entropion when I get neutered, and although I'll be much more comfortable, my vision will unfortunately remain limited. That's okay though, because I'm still an awesome pup regardless of how well I can see!

I have gotten along well with other dogs I have met so far, but of course a meet and greet is always required if there are other pups in your home to make sure that we will be a good match for each other! My shelter family says I will require a home with older human kiddos (16+) who are able to respect my boundaries as my poor vision causes me to startle easily when someone reaches towards me unexpectedly.

I want nothing more than to offer a lifetime of love to a very special family to call my own. Could you be that special family that I've been searching for? Come meet me and we will find out!
